The Tan Yiek: cafe

Superfine.kl is inside the Seventeen Mall at Section 17 Petaling Jaya, easy reach for the surrounding neighbours to grab a quick cuppa joe or even a healthy brunch. Also consider one of the top eatery among the rest within the area itself - the waiting list at the entrance speaks for itself!

Broad dining space and the natural bright light from the floor-to-ceiling window makes the interior feels inviting and comfortable as a place to enjoy food and conversation over coffee. Easy to oversee how barista brew the coffee or to see what's available on the cake station.

Lamb Tacos al Pastor (RM 21.80) - Slow roasted New Zealand lamb shoulder, topped with harissa mayo, grilled pineapple, pickled onions, salsa roja and fresh coriander wrapped tortilla. Perfect choice especially for ladies that trying to stay away from carbs. Love the combo of every ingredient on this tortilla. Savoury, juicy, bright. Simply healthy and delicious!

Eggs Benny (RM 26.80) - Homemade polenta, sous-vide thick-cut streaky bacon, poached kampung eggs, brown utter hollandaise, french beans sautéed in miso-garlic butter. The polenta loaf is tasty but slightly salty as you continue to eat over time. I think might need another extra eggs to melt on to the salty polenta. Otherwise, it will be a good balance breakfast meal.

On a side note, vegetarian option also made available: mushroom medley (white button mushroom, brown shimeji & osyter mushroom).

Kraftkorn cake (RM 16.00) - Flour, Rye Flour, mixed seeds and mix flour. One word, delicious.

Superfine also has the upper advantage as they have wide selection of beverage ranging from coffee to tea, kombucha to craft beers. Coffee starts from RM 9.00 (espresso shot) up to RM 18.00 (for filter coffee). Premium and classic chinese tea at the price of RM 11.00 per cup. Ale craft beers price starts from RM 20.00 per pint.

Personal Summary: Bright and broad environment, suitable for large group and big family. Superfine serves healthy breakfast and lunch, as well as wide variety of beverages - up to craft beer! Friendly and attentive service crew.

The Farm Foodcraft nestled inside The Sphere Bangsar South, serving their very own grown and fresh harvest greens with desire to change one's lives to a healthier lifestyle. Yes, they do have their own eco-farm lab inside the restaurant to produce their own resources, hence it is pretty amazing to look at.

As you walk in, you can see greens inside out of the premise - every corners are well decorated with different types of greens and flowers. Dining area quite spacious, good for groups - noise from the crowd won't overlap and clash.

Started my breakfast with the Truffle & Portobello Soup (RM 25.00), a bowl of creamy Portobello and mixed mushroom soup infused with Italian truffle mushroom paste, served in char-grilled country bread. Taste wise was fine but couldn't feel much from the truffle, was guessing mushroom soup was too creamy and thick that it masked the truffle. Char-grilled country bread was okay. Portion was big, can share up to 4 eater surprisingly.

On the healthier approached, you can have this Farmer's Portobello & Avocado (RM 36.00). A big wooden pan that consists of char-grilled King Portobello Mushrooms drizzled with Summer Truffle Oil, served with half avocado grilled, Pomegranate Mesclun mixed salad and 100% pure sweet potato puree. Definitely very green and healthy. Delicious? I can say very subjective to individual palate but vegetarians will love it.

Crab Risotto (RM 42.00) - Creamy risotto sautéed with mushrooms and diced capsicum, crowned with deep-fried soft shell crab topped with homemade fresh cream and shrimp paste at the side. Quite filling but nothing special to shout about.

Salmon Gravlax Benedict (RM 36.00) - Oven cured Salmon Gravlax served with classic Egg Benedict, sautéed baby spinach and crispy fried french bean served with Hollandaise sauce. All well compliment together.

Personal Summary: Environment great to dine with with lots of greens at your very eyes. Price and portion of the food are relatively proportionate. To me, taste wise was "okay" hence nothing special to shout, however the plating and the portion did shocked me positively. Service was a little slow due to the capacity, so chill out with your phone while waiting.

Norm Micro Roastery is another new project by Norm Penang, where this space will be for specialty-coffee-centric, serving all-day brunch, cakes and desserts and sometimes seasonal menu item by the counter.

Loving the space inside as it has raw cement finishing coupled with green pots and gravels. Minimalist, spacious and has high ceiling as well as abundant of natural lighting from the ceiling panels. Seats are quite unique on its own, custom built arrangement with designated shape.

Had this Prawn & Pumpkin Risotto (RM 32) that was Moroccan spiced prawn with pumpkin risotto, clams, shimeji, crispy sage and parmesan cheese. Overall, taste was absolutely fantastic - risotto was cooked to al-dente, packed with flavors from the pumpkin and mixed spices, and generous amount of clams. Prawns was big and fresh too!

If you can't take heavy food for your breakfast, try the Eggs Your Way (RM 13) comes with choice of poached eggs, scrambled eggs or fried eggs on toast. Had mine with scrambled eggs, perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper, well drizzled with olive oil and topped with coriander. Sourdough is great in my own opinion as it isn't chewy or hard to bite.

Dessert wise, I was fortunate to have a try on their off-menu dessert, Vanilla Creme Brulee. Straight-up creamy custard with a layer of caramelized sugar vanilla pod essence, very soft yet not compromising the flavor of vanilla - yummy! Also, you will not feel satiated from eating it as it is soft in texture and flavor. So, there's plenty more room for your tummy!

Up next is the Lemon Custart Tart. A palate cleansing dessert with great acidity from the lemon. Ruiny custard, firm tart. Well, what more can I say.

As for beverages, there are selections of drinks - ranging from coffee, tea to mock-tails to choose from. Iced Matcha Latte (RM 15) was rich in matcha flavor and has the right proportion of fresh milk and matcha mixture. Also has my White - Regular serving for RM 11.00, with coffee beans roasted by themselves.

Brewing coffee is like orchestra.

Minimalism.

Just look out for this entrance.

My personal summary: Great place for photographer. Car park can be challenging during peak hours, hence, park at your own risk - so be there early to avoid disappointment. Good food and drinks.
