LOVE LIFE, CHERISH MOMENTS

   Happy 2015 everybody! Today is the first day of a brand new year, i hope you guys have already come up with some new year resolutions! For today's post, i am going to write about a healthy breakfast spot to introduce to you. Well, a good head start begins with a healthy breakfast! It is none other than BreadFruits Bakery Cafe in Sri Hartamas.






   Situated in the heart of busy Sri Hartamas, BreadFruits is a very popular brunch cafe around this area. This is because of its healthy juices which are freshly made with the organic produce they sell in the shop. Besides that, it is also very well known for its Brunch Pasta with 7-minutes Egg. That is exactly what we ordered, together with an Antipasto Breakfast Platter with a cup of Long Black and Juice-of-The-Day to go with.

Brunch Pasta with 7-minutes Egg--RM 17.80+

Pour out the half-boiled egg from its shell on top of the pasta

And mix!

    I understand why this dish is a hit in this big city. Although it looks rather simple, but it contains an explosion of flavors. The usage of soft boiled egg combined all the healthy goodness together, giving this brunch pasta a creamy consistency, similar to a carbonara. All the mushroom, ham and greens also gave the dish the perfect consistency.

Antipasto Breakfast Platter--RM 26.80+ Homemade bread, with ham, sausage, salad, soft-boiled egg and 2 choices of cheese. A cup of long black and juice of the day are included.

Juice of the day: Pineapple Orange

Long Black

   This Antipasto Breakfast Platter may looks huge but it is actually not that filling, perfect for the small eaters who wants some variety. It is a typical European breakfast. If you love cheese and ham, feel free to go for this platter because of its generous amount of these items. Coffee was good, juice was fresh and not sweetened. Thumbs up for the healthy twist in this dish!

Our healthy breakfast of the day!

   No doubt that BreadFruits cooks what they sell, sells what they promised, a healthy but delicious menu. Pricing is slightly above average and the service was good. You can always buy some fresh fruits and homemade bread back home to prepare your own version of healthy diet. Prepare to queue for a table during weekends because i heard the crowd is always wanting a taste on that brunch pasta. I hope you enjoy today's write up! Have a great start by eating clean and healthy! xoxo.

   Hello readers! It's Saturday again! For us, Malaysians, it's yet another long weekend because our 57th Independence Day is on tomorrow! No matter where you are, it's always a good idea to treat yourself and loved ones with some good old comfort food right? For this week's post, i am going to write about my dining experience in Souled Out, Sri Hartamas. Enjoy!




   I went to the Sri Hartamas branch few months ago, during the heated World Cup Season. Therefore, the entire place was decorated with football related stuff. I used to think that Souled Out is a pub-slash-bar kind of chilling place, that's why it never cross my mind to try it out, until Mr. J strongly recommended this place to me, promising great steak and western dining experience. Well, there is no harm trying new places right? Hence, we visited Souled Out and ordered their Sirloin Steak, Sake San 8 inches Pizza and a Chocolate Lava Cake as desserts. Cocktail is one of their main attraction here, so we got ourselves a glass of classic mojito as well.

Sirloin Steak (medium rare)--RM 45++

The glorious steak!

   First of all, i was very impressed with the quality of the sirloin steak we chose. It was fresh, succulent, well seasoned and well cooked. Although at first, the medium rare i ordered was a little bit too under, so we requested them to redo and they gave us medium well instead. Kudos for their patience and service! I also love how the mushroom sauce complemented the natural essence of beef so well, completely elevated the standard of this dish.

Sake San 8-inch Pizza--RM 27++
Smoked salmon thin crust pizza, topped with garden salad, wasabi mayonnaise and salmon roe.
   
   Next up, this Sake San Pizza did not pale, comparing with the impressive steak. I admired the bold and unique choice of topping Souled Out created with this dish. The smoked salmon and the crispy salad greens bring up an unique freshness to this pizza, breaking the old rules that pizza must be cheesy and greasy. This pizza was not oily at all, tasted refreshing and healthy as well. The best component here has got to be the special wasabi mayonnaise that combined all the flavors together!

Classic Mojito--RM 19++

Chocolate Lava Cake--RM 15++ Molten chocolate lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream

     Lastly, we ended our dinner course perfectly with this classic dessert. The chocolate lava cake totally lived up to its name, with its soft crust and gluey center. It was not too sweet, the rich chocolate worked well for my palate. The accompanying vanilla ice-cream gave a fine and light touch, in contrast to the rich chocolate flavor we have. Overall, it is a solid 'A' from me.

   Personally, i was taken by surprise with the food served by Souled Out. Souled out completely changed my paradigm that pub food is not impressive and average. Aside from the amazing Western cuisine and drinks, their wonderful service and lively band music would also be my reasons to come back for a second experience. Pricing wise, it is slightly above average. With the menu we had above, each person costs around RM 60+, tax included. Parking is not a problem and it is easily locate as well. So my dear friends, let's grab some food from Souled Out during this weekend! xoxo

   Another week has past by quickly. I hope you had a fruitful and amazing week as i did. As usual, i'll be writing about another cafe review. This week, it's all about Podgy & The Banker, Sri Hartamas. So just sit back and enjoy!



      I immediately felt in love with the building. Podgy & The Banker is located off Jalan Sri Hartamas 8, on the corner lot. Its modern, chic and simple exterior simply draws me to it. The interior reflects the same style as well.

Very busy crowd on a Saturday morning

   You have to make an order at the counter and it's all self-service, which means you also collect your drink and food over the collecting counter. I ordered a cup of cappuccino and Chicken Ham Bruschetta. The rest of my company had a Salmon Quiche, Scramble Egg on Toast, Poached Eggs on Toast with Spinach and also a slice of Butterscotch Cake to end the brunch.

Flat White--RM 10

Cappuccino--RM 10

   Coffee was good. There was this nice fragrant, milk was smooth but again, i did not get the caffeine kick i wanted. Plus, my coffee art was flawed too.

Salmon Quiche--RM 12

Poached Eggs on Toast with Spinach--RM 10

Scrambled Egg on Toast--RM 9

Bruschetta, Chicken Ham & Eggs--RM 13

    I acknowledge the fact that Podgy & The Banker really knows how to do their eggs, because as you can see all of the eggs were perfectly cooked, no matter what style you want. The poached eggs were done to perfection, my sunny side ups looked and tasted amazing as well. Although it is a simple dish, but this is what i love having for breakfast: simple but satisfying. However, i would love it more if the toasts were more crunchy.

Butterscotch Cake--RM 14

  This is also another amazing creation, probably because yours truly is a huge fan of butterscotch. I also like the cream and the addition of almonds to this dessert. However, i find the cake a bit dry though. Otherwise, this could be a 9/10 dessert.

  I'm sure just by looking at the photos made you drool right? Well, i have to admit, their food presentation is very simple but great! I love the vibrant colors of the coffee cups and saucers. All those red and orange and yellow just reminds you on how beautiful to wake up in the morning, have a good meal and praise God for every wonderful day He gave us.

   Overall, i am pretty pleased with this cafe. Everything here, from the name to the building, from the decorations to the food, all screams simplicity in its best! That's what life is all about right? Simplicity. Although there is some imperfections here and there, but it is the overall cheerful ambiance that made me want to visit here again. It costs around RM 22 per person, with no taxes charged. Parking is freely available along the street and it is very easily accessible. That's all for today's update, i'll talk to you guys next week. Stay tuned and have a fun filled week!
