La Marzocco celebrated its 90th anniversary by hosting their grand opening in Malaysia, with the partnership with Classic Coffee and Beverage Sdn Bhd. The grand opening was a success, with great support from the local community who always used La Marzocco from the very beginning and their passion towards coffee making is what makes La Marzocco to strive for the best!

The presence of The Parque Cafe causes the aroma of fresh brewed coffee to be spread across the whole sanctuary which captivates outsider like me, wanting to visit the cafe eagerly. Parque Cafe is brewed and operated by an enthusiastic team called Coffee Concepts, which are based in Johor. Speaking of management, Coffee Concepts also manages Palladium Cafe in Eco Spring Show Village, Johor - the first cafe that marked their first inspired glasshouse cafe concept in Malaysia. The glasshouse cafe received so much love from the public that it has led to further expansion of business today.
Glasshouse?
Inspired by the recent top-chart music video composed by Jay Chou (Taiwanese artist). The beautiful and elegant looking glasshouse design is one-of-a-kind, as it does not required any complicated blueprints, just plain concretes, high-graded wood and some glass panels as finishing touch. However due to its design, it has limited room for seatings and the temperature inside the glasshouse can be fairly warm when the sun is at its peak. Best time to visit Parque - either before noon or late evening, for a better cafe hopping experience :)

"A pride that represents Parque, the glasshouse cafe design."

"Surreal captures of barista's daily"

Knowing that they have two types of coffee blend, I opt for a cup of long black by using their single origin (Ethiopia Konga) to start-up my day. A fairly "clean" cup that has noticeable brightness in it and loaded with fruity notes.

-> Cappuccino
To spice up my cafe hopping experience a little, I got myself a slice of lemon cheese cake to go along with my coffee. The texture of this lemon cheese cake was perfect, as it reminded me of having delicious cheese cake in Artisan Roast Cafe back in the old days... The crust sprinkled with dash of sugar balances the acidity of the lemon cheese, Great!


Having said all of the above, I spent a great time alone in The Parque Cafe admiring the sight of walk-ins interacting with the passionate baristas, listening to calm music stream through the air and enjoy reading some random write-up over the net. A great place to be at...

Malaysia's largest coffee and art festival is back on 11-13 of September 2015 @ Publika Mall. Celebrating coffee and art together as one!

CAFFA is a celebration of the wonders and benefits of coffee and art. It will be an opportunity for those in the coffee community to mingle and network with each other – owners of coffee shops; experts of the coffee industry; baristas and budding artists from across Asia as well as to develop, educate and nurture an appreciation for the art of coffee and promote Fair Trade coffee beans. As a sustainable alternative as well as it being a platform for coffee education, appreciation and a wealth of coffee drinking opportunities, the festival will also be in part a celebration of art in its many forms.

CAFFA aims to represents the most vigorous, fresh and contemporary new work made by our artists every year to a large and committed audience through artist demonstrations, art exhibitions, local craft artisans as well as promoting food connoisseurs to the event. Crucial to the CAFFA vision is an understanding of independent artists and the independent arts community as well as the coffee and food appreciation community, for it is together that will make the Coffee & Art Fringe Festival Asia.

What grinds me the most was the parking within the vicinity, I never expect it to be full everywhere. It took me almost an hour - wandering around aimlessly, then I decided to give up and go home. Little did I know, there's a spot for me!
Even though its the first day of the event, many were already anticipated towards the event.




During the 3 days event, there will be many sponsors and individual vendors register, to serve you in the event.
Vendors promoting their products at best price for interested buyers, at limited time only.

They use Mirage Triplette at Artisan TTDI to extract the espresso. The machine operates with semi-automatic functions.

Apparently, the staff will serve right on your table right now !

The atmosphere inside the cafe is relaxing with huge art work on the wall, with small tables placed around the space.

However, I prefer the outside environment of the cafe whereby you can sit down, relax and enjoy your  coffee with the presence of natural light !

Red Latte - RM 10.00 ; I love it because it gives out the tea aroma although the beverage has been mix with steamed milk!

Cheesecake - RM 10.00 ; I love the cream cheese texturing, the chocolate layer and the cheese cake.

Spinach mushroom quiche - RM 7.90 ; how i wish they serve quiche lorraine !

Caffe Latte! RM10.00

This makes the threee of it ! From the left, Caffe Latte, Red Latte, and cheese cake.

Last but not least, the Americano RM 6.00 ; i could feel a glimpse of spicyness (taste) in the coffee. Or maybe not.
