The Tan Yiek: pancake

Always wanted to know what it feels like to dine in Australia? Here, The Forum KL located in The Signature Serviced Suites & Studios KL will give you a glimpse of it in the heart of Kuala Lumpur!

Inside, it is spacious enough to accommodate up to 50 to 80 pax with ease. All the furniture used were mostly made up of furnished grey-brown wood to pair up with the one-sided leather sofa. As I looked closely, the entire building was surround by glass panel which makes everything so beautiful when it is a lovely sunny day. All these designs were similar to what Australians did to their contemporary architecture designs so you don't need to travel to Australia just to get this feel.

Here is the menu of The Forum KL

The price of most items here is actually quite steep but thankfully there's no GST implement, otherwise it will cost me a kidney...

A) Cappuccino (RM 12.00)

Great and smooth cup of cuppa joe, intermediate to heavy-bodied which I can sense a little of earthy and chocolate aroma within sips. Great start!

B) Classic Pancakes (RM 9.80)

Fluffy pancakes and it taste good along side with a block of butter and a cup of maple syrup. At least this place doesn't serve pancakes that has overpowered flour-ish taste within, which is a good thing because not many outlets could do that.

C) Carbonara (RM 25.80)

Forum's carbonara used fettuccine served with the option of beef bacon or chicken meat alongside with shiitake mushrooms and deep-fried crackers. Loving the presentation, felt as if I'm in a high-graded restaurant! Amazing aroma however I wish the carbonara needs more moist or sauce within the plate for easy continuous feast on.

D) Zuchinni Lime Cake (RM 14.80)

Do not judge its book by its cover. A moist and delicious zuchinni-sponge cake topped with zesty lime cream cheese frosting and julienne of zuchinni! Lovely, every elements in it, is well-balanced and not too overpowering.

A significant view & atmosphere to enjoy while having pancakes and sipping cuppa Joe, in the morning like this.

Few days after Merchant's Lane Cafe grand opening, finally managed to create some free time for myself to pay them a visit :)
Honestly, it took me minutes to spot the entrance to the cafe due to the cafe aren't attractive-friendly, (cannot be spot by driving or from a distance).
So, you have to look up for this* stationery store, just beside ATC college. As you walk closer to the store, you are able to see a stairway to Merchant's Lane Cafe.

*Update- Merchant's Lane now built turquoise/teal wooden door at the entrance, look for it. It is easier to locate them now.

Board that you should notice :)

As you walk up, first thing that you will see would be the rack filled with heritage props. Grab the menu, find a seat, decide the items you need and order at the counter.

This entire property fulfill with heritage as well as several contemporary design to it, which what makes the business got into trend on the social medias platform. The whole idea of the owner of MLC, was to preserve the heritage element and to conduct the F&B business in here, moreover, the geographical location for the business is the key point which able to attract number of people into it.

How do you control your excitement when this place is so cool?

Instagramers be like...

The interior and the furniture used, got me transverse back to the 80's.

Very homey and comfortable living hall which what makes the best place to chill for all-day-long.

Book that grants you the knowledge to unlock the ancient, forbidden ways of...(secret)

Here's the menu, you can have a look here before you visit them :)

This is Cappuccino at the size of 5 oz, RM 11.00. Noticeable berry and several citrus notes, smooth and creamy.

Itadakimas Pancake at the price of RM 20.00. Its delicate when it has fried eggs, noodle crackers and topped on with cabbage, crispy beef bacon and served with BBQ and mayo sauce.

Mini's Handcrafted Tea for 2 pax at the price RM 15.00 , give a unique flavor despite stated as Oolong tea. Reason why I'm hooked by this handcrafted tea was because there's a hint of cinnamon aroma within the liquid.

Rose Honey Milk, RM 12.00 - Basically milk that mixed with honey and topped with edible rose petals. P/S: serve in hot and not so sweet as you think it is :)

Gobber Cake, RM 13.00 - It may looks like a yam cake in general, but mind you that this isn't yam cake. To me, it has a tiny hint of Chinese moon cake taste and a little hint of Coca Cola taste in it. Overall, it was delicate to my preference !

Salted Caramel Cookie, RM 13.00 - Not many cafes able to serve a good salted caramel cookie cake. Here, in Merchant's Lane 美真林, serves the best salted caramel cookie cakes in Selangor. Every texture and taste of this cake counts! From crispy cookie, to the finest sponge cake...

So, just in case if you are somewhere around in Petaling Street, you might want to drop-by here for a quick relaxation, here is the place for you- staying away from the crowd of the market.
