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.

Me recommending you an accommodation to check-in and stay? No - not in this post, as I will be reviewing one new hidden gem restaurant in the heart of Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur in which I had just paid them a visit recently.

Yes, I know I'm slow when it comes to catch-up of new restaurant, cafe or whatsoever and I also considered that I have no match against Time Out KL or eatdrinkkl blog. Nonetheless, Chocha Foodstore has been operating weeks ago, under Mah Lian Hotel disguise. I was attracted by their restaurant concept of preserving the existing interior environment that had utilized in the past and their ideal of delivering casual, comfort and unique food to the diners based on fresh local ingredients, makes it even more attractive and a spot to die for.

Yes, the entire sensation is pretty calming as you step into the doors of the old shop, occupied with furnitures, old-classic props and floras that made you feel like home. Somewhat, it express the vibes of the oldie oriental that you can no longer experience elsewhere unless you replicate it based on this concept.

Today, culinary is not just a food, but it is also a work of art to represent the person's personality and expression.

Middle section of the shop, had a small al-fresco. The rest will be air-conditioned.

Kerabu Mango Slaw @ RM 15

A plate filled with green mango, cabbage slaw, fish sauce, chilipadi, peanut, lime juice and dried shrimps. The flavor is vibrant and the heat is there that it won't hurt your mouth. The onion slice, peanuts and chives helps to elevate the aroma of the dishes.

Aglio Olio with Duck Breast @ RM 22.

Homemade noodle, spiced duck confit, garlic confit, thai basil and lemongrass.

Honestly, the homemade noodle was mediocre as it just simply taste like the ordinary yellow noodle where you can obtain from the Chinese hawker stall. All in all, the other ingredients such as spiced duck confit and the garnishes helps to improve the taste of this dish.

Ulam Stew Barley Rice @ RM 28

A bowl of ulam pesto, shaved salted egg, crispy dried shrimps, sauteed fresh squids.

This dish stands out among the rest of the items that I ordered mainly because the flavor of the overall dish itself was perfect and unique. Ulam pesto was just nice (not too overpowering from the herbs) when it infused with the barley rice and perfect synergy with the rest of the ingredients such as sauteed dried squids and shaved salted egg.

Cold Brew Tea - Gold Rush @ RM 16.00

There's no way you can withstand hot weather except cold stuff like this. I had this bottle of Hojo's original blended tea, using natural farming black tea from Yunnan mixed with natural flowers and spices. Despite its brewing method, it managed to give me sweet fruity aroma such as dried peach or mango and mellow taste.

Note: Hojo is a Japanese tea brand that specialized in premium Japanese tea, Taiwanese tea and Chinese tea. The store can be found in Mid Valley shopping mall.

Personal verdict

Ulam stew barley rice is the best dish by far and the cold brew tea is great. Loving the environment, as it reminds me of Merchant's Lane (few steps away). Would like to drop-by again in the future to try their hot brew tea and other food item.

I love cakes. Cakes are the most beautiful man-made edible object, that has its own identity to express when one consumes it. In fact, it can reduce stress level with a small amount of percentage.

Jokes aside, Sugar & Butter by 126kitchen surprised me with their renowned Belgium Chocolate Ganache Tart (Picture, scroll further) - as it was delicious at multiple bites due to the chocolate taste and texture. Surprisingly, there's no flour and sugar in use! Women who love chocolate don't have to feel guilty anymore as the sugar and starch content is at its minimal level.

I considered Sugar & Butter's location quite hideaway as it was secluded deep inside Damansara Perdana and no crowd to be seen.

On my way through, I see choices of cakes await me on a marble table. I found out that they serve more chocolate-based cakes during my visit, and secretly whispered in me, "They are chocolate-lover eh?".

Seating wise, inside fairly limited of seats - up to maximum of 12 person at a time. Accompany with air conditioned and dim lighting but still visible. Otherwise, opt for outdoor with good number of seats available, however, there's no fan or table fan at your service- your luck depends on natural wind blow.

"Hmm, which one should I taste first?"

Peanut Butter Cake

Close up view.

Not exactly a fan of Peanut Butter, but this cake looks gorgeous at first sight. But how does it taste like? Well, it taste like peanut butter cream at soft to medium bodied taste with smooth and yummy chocolate sponge cake. Forking through the cake was simply orgasm as every bits of it was superb fine.

Sirup Bandung Cake

Close up view.

Something else this time, I had decided to taste a cake with a Malaysian twist, the Sirup Bandung.

Actual Sirup Bandung is actually a Malay beverage that consists of evaporated milk flavored with rose cordial, giving a pink color to its appearance.

I'm literally feasting on a rose cake, that topped with rose-flavored frosting, edible roses and fruitful of lychee. To be honest, this one was pretty ordinary.

Cross-sectional view

Spent 2 hours in Sugar & Butter, enjoying cakes and photography was quite a memorable one because I love it when you can enjoy something like that far away from the crowd or the hotspots.

To summarize,

-You wanna look fit but craving for chocolate, go for BCGT.

-Lots of chocolate-based cakes here.
