Lace Ruffles World

HELLO! by Kitchen Mafia is owned by 2 well-known Malaysian chefs Johnny Fua & Sherson Lian. I actually had not heard of them prior to knowing the existence of Kitchen Mafia as I had not been in tune with the entertainment news in Malaysia but apparently those chefs are really popular here and that one of them is a celebrity chef. The food at HELLO! by Kitchen Mafia is a fusion of East meet West, and you will be able to see many original ideas here. If you want to try unique food you can't find anywhere else, HELLO! by Kitchen Mafia is one cafe you should explore. I ordered the Beef Ragout Pasta because I have no idea what ragout means. Yes, I'm adventurous like that so you can easily fool me into ordering things but giving them strange names that don't sound obviously made up. The beef pasta costs RM28. Beef is always a hit or miss to me because some beef has a strong unpleasant smell. It was risky for me to order beef pasta but I took the risk because since thi...

One day, I spotted this Angel Cradle Cafe while looking around in Taman Molek. It didn't have many customers but I decided to try out this cafe. Anything for the blog! It is a cafe that sells mainly Western food so the price is a little high. I can't remember the name of this pasta but it must have the word carbonara or creamy in it. I really wouldn't recommend it. It is disgusting! I couldn't finish eating it. This tomato-based pasta is not amazing either but better than the creamy pasta. At least this one is tolerable. I won't come back to this cafe again. The food is disappointing and it is quite expensive. I was shocked to see that it has good ratings on Google reviews. This is why you can't easily trust reviews on Google or Facebook because friends and family could have easily give them good reviews. There must be better cafes than this (Although I still find JB quite hopeless so far when it comes to food)! Adios!

Tea Garden is a popular cafe chain in Johor Bahru. The recently revamped Aeon Tebrau City now has Kuu by Tea Garden. I don't know why they add Kuu to it. Perhaps it is a mini version because Tea Garden has more variety of items to order. The popular food at Tea Garden are actually the snacks like egg tarts and salted egg bun. At the regular Tea Garden, there are Cantonese egg tarts and Portuguese egg tarts which get sold out often but it seems like Kuu by Tea Garden only has Cantonese egg tarts which don't get sold out. I don't know why they don't sell Portuguese egg tarts in their Aeon Tebrau City branch as they are popular in other branches. The egg tarts are delicious enough for me to purchase again. I don't really recommended the main courses in the menu though. I have tried the herbal chicken and I think the chicken was quite tasteless. Read Part 2 here

Wafu Kitchen is conveniently situated within the walking distance of Sunway College Johor Bahru and Austin Heights Private & International Schools. Hence, it isn't uncommon to see youngsters eating at Wafu Kitchen. Japanese food is always a favorite among youngsters here in Malaysia. Being the only Japanese cafe within walking distance of the college and school, I doubt this cafe would suffer from a lack of customers anytime soon. I ordered this egg and prawn rice. The presentation is lovely but it does not taste as good as it looks. It tastes very average. Really nothing to shout about. I wouldn't order this again. Not sure if I would even visit this cafe again. 

One Two Eat Cafe seems to be a favourite among the locals due to the extensive menu. For instance, there are local food and Japanese food. The above is tantan ramen. I don't recommend it as it is quite tasteless and the pork slices aren't fresh so there is an unpleasant smell. The teriyaki salmon don on the other hand, is not bad. It is edible. Another food I had tried that I would recommend is the fried prawn with thousand island sauce. I had also tried the saba fish with rice which I would not recommend as the saba fish is quite tasteless, unlike the one at Sushi Zanmai. Because this cafe has an extensive menu and the food is okay, it is a place you can go again and again to try out various dishes. Just don't expect too much.

I have seen people posting about Patissez before so I decided to test it out. Their Freakshakes seem to be their star product. I have visited Pattisez a few times to try out a few of their Freakshakes. I would recommend you to share the Freakshake instead of gulping the whole thing by yourself because it is quite huge. Each Freakshake costs RM19 but they also have Baby Freakshakes which cost RM12 each. The picture above is the Freakshake called Muddy Pat 2.0 which is basically chocolate everything. To be honest, none of their Freakshakes are amazingly good for me. It's just something I would eat for fun but won't crave for it. Anothe flavour of Freakshake that I had also tried was Pretzella, a Nutella-based milkshake. I slightly prefer this over the Muddy Pat 2.0. Mint Condition is a mint-flavored Freakshake. It isn't for everyone as it kinda feels like eating toothpaste after a while. The Crispy Skin Sea Bass is one of the recommended items on the menu. I...

At Aeon Tebrau City, there are 2 shops selling Japanese baked cheese tarts. So who does it better? For that, I have to taste both at the same day because I'm not good at remembering taste precisely. First off, is Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart. Mmm! It's delicious and fragrant. I can't eat more than one though because I would get sick of it easily. These things are to be enjoyed in small portions. Next is the Uncle Tetsu's cheese tart. From the picture, you can already see which one is more well-baked. Uncle Tetsu's cheese tart looks less appealing due to its lack of browning. Taste-wise, it is more sour and less fragrant. It is also more crumbly so be careful when you hold it. So the obvious winner is Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart! I won't bother with Uncle Tetsu's cheese tarts anymore as long as there are other baked cheese tarts nearby.
