Zest Pâtisserie, Connaught

Now that I am working from home, I get to have more time in exploring cafes and restaurants. I went to this quaint little cafe called Zest Pâtisserie in Connaught after hearing and seeing good reviews from others.

The cafe only uses the finest ingredients from France and you can find desserts made with chocolate and fruits. They serve coffees (hot and iced), Harney & Sons teas, several types of waffles, cakes and such.

You can order by grabbing a menu board from the counter, pick your choice and pay at the counter.

I ordered their Strawberry Shortcake and Iced Matcha Latte. I liked the cake a lot as I can taste the hint of strawberry with every bite I took.  

After finishing my cake and Matcha Latte, I still need more time to finish some work so I ordered their Harney & Sons Rooibos Chai tea. It was my first time trying out Harney's as I am very picky and loyal (I only drink T2 teas) when it comes to tea. I like Chai Latte that is why I decided to try this tea out. It was indeed my cup of tea. Geddit? haha

The Simple Life, Leisure Mall Cheras

You could say that I'm a big fan of fried chicken but I do enjoy my fair share of Vegetarian / vegan meals. The place that my family and I always visit? The Simple Life in Cheras Leisure Mall. After many visits, their quality and portion are consistent. I could eat it everyday.

Their signature Lui Cha. I don't eat Lui Cha but according to T, it was bursting with flavours and every bite was enjoyable.

My mom's tofu and mushroom dish. Their set meals could be large for even a big eater so sharing is a good way to not waste even a bit of the fresh and healthy ingredients.

My most ordered dish is their 5 grains fried rice. Simple yet so so good. The crackers included are also good. What's not to like in this place? None.

That Latte Place, Ikon Connought

What makes a good day extra special? The answer is always a good and wholesome breakfast paired up with a cup of coffee! It was a rainy morning. Whenever it rains I'll feel mellow and always want to head out for some good food. Weird huh. I rather eat than sleep.

I always drive past this new mall called ikon Connought in my housing area but never wanted to go in because it's not a very attractive building in my eyes. I was casually walking around its lowest floor one day and saw THATLATTEPLACE! I thought they stopped operating after moving out from their former place in Ampang Hilir but it turns out that they're not. What a relief to their fans!

Their version of Eggs Benedict. It was pretty good favour wise but I like my Eggs Ben with more Hollaindaise sauce. The potato was very very good! Overall, it's a good dish with the right portion.

Coffee is a must! I wouldn't say it was a hit but something is missing in my cuppa. It feels imbalanced I'd say?

Never say no to coffee. The next time you drop by Cheras, give thatlatteplace a shot! Owners are friendly and the environment is comfortable.
