A brief hiatus in cafe-hopping ever since I got my own v60 kit. Until recently, I found this cafe by fate via Facebook I guess? The name itself, Craft Origin, had already given me an unusual vibe, literally telling me that such cafe probably exists somewhere else out of Klang Valley... Little did I know, this cafe operates only a few months old ago in TTDI!
Also, what caught my attention the most was the coffee beans that they offered. That is why I'm down to it, feeling thirsty and 'needly' to try one of their bean: Panama Finca Hartmann roasted in China.
Friendly barista, Rachel, accustomed to my preference, slowly brewing it with ideal temperature (89 degree Celsius)  to ensure the extraction of the coffee is able to express towards the brighter notes.
Candid-shot of everyone and everything in the cafe

🠓Filter Coffee (Pour Over) @ RM 16🠓
Yes, above with me is the Panama Finca Hartmann that I mentioned earlier, brewed at the ideal temperature of 89 degree Celsius. Upon drinking it at hot temperature, this bean expressed intense aroma of winery and complexity of fruity and floral aromas - acidity and brightness yet to shine but overall it gives heavy bodied and tea-like finishing. 
As the temperature cools down, the brightness and acidity starts to shine in my mouth and the aroma remained constant.
To conclude, I like the coffee, it is recommended to try for those love such characteristics or a fan of Panama coffee beans.

🠓Cappuccino @ RM 10🠓
House blend of 3 countries' coffee bean that pair well with any milk based coffee. Its pretty well balance and easy to drink, in general. No further comment.

Other than coffee and tea, Craft Origin also serves food and cakes (I did not try any of them), therefore, if you are available during your free time and no where to go, maybe you can give it a try.

For coffee connoisseurs, this would be the place for you to have your cup of coffee as the baristas are skilled and experienced. Another great coffee shop alternative around TTDI.

Are you craving for fresh bake cakes & homemade desserts on a weekend like this? 
In this post, allow me to present you, Souka - your one stop neighbourhood bake shop that 
produce heavenly delicious desserts & cakes.
Souka is an old-fashioned bake shop which nestled in the heart of Subang Jaya
so people in the surrounding could easily reach them for what their craving needs.

Souka's front view perspective. Might be a little difficult for those who are looking for the shop when they are searching from a different angle or perspective.

Here's the outdoor seats and the entrance into the shop.

The counter.

Before I forgot, Souka also brew fresh coffee and teas ! If none of them suits you, feel free to get yourself free water  , prepared at the counter top.
If you are a coffee lover, Souka uses coffee beans from RG Beans roastery that have two types of single origin. Be sure to ask the barista on what type of beans are in-use on the particular time-frame!

The cakes and desserts section is slightly further away (Behind) from the counter, so before you make any order, walk in further, and that's where you can choose your cakes and desserts !

They sell cookies !  nnoomm nooommmmn!

Several cakes and desserts are store properly in the chiller.

Several cakes or desserts placed on the counter top (non-chill area).


pops malaya ! available for sale too ! Go grab em' as our country often under the effect of "dry spell".
 Wanted to know more what they have in their shop? List of menu provided at the end of this post!



Let's check-out the interior and the environment of the shop, shall we?

Love these. These are the ones that turn me on.

Combination of vintage & antique sort of feels.


Shelves that filled with simple yet beautiful props.


Notice the light bulbs? It has the whisk design, protecting the bulbs!




Down to the main point!

I have ordered the Chocolate Mousse Pie (RM 10), Oreo & Mint Chocolate Cake (RM 15).
As for the beverages, passion fruit soda (RM 5) and Long Black (RM 7 *If i'm not mistaken ^_^*)

I personally love mint flavor very much so it suits perfectly into the chocolate cake. However, not everyone loves mint in their edible items... , so decide wisely on which cake you are about to order. As for the Chocolate Mousse Pie, the chocolate has balance of sweet, not too overpowering and the texture was soft! Great!

Banoffee @ RM 8.00. Bananas topped with cream and toffees!

This is my personal faveee! Salted Caramel Chocolate @ RM 15.00. The caramel is so strong which i like it that way! The chocolate sponge of every layer , i could just slice them through, effortless.

Anyone want some? Here's the Peanut Butter Pie @ RM 10.00. The texture of the peanut butter is the same as the texture of a mousse! 

Tadaa, these makes the everything!

On the other hand, I finally found the combo-wombo !
To enjoy your cakes to the fullest, get the French Rose Tea @ RM 15.00 ! Oh don't worry about the water depletion, they allow to refill hot water !


BONUS Content!

I'm so lucky to be there on their preparation moment of a private event & able to witness how things are done professionally.
Souka & Team, proud to host any private event(s) as per request!
In this private event, I notice the cakes and desserts were prepared in custom requests, how interesting is that?

The team is busy setting up the table before the time comes!
Final outcome:




Bridal shower of Profiteroles!

Custom made cake!



!Summary!

The one and only old-fashioned bake shop that bakes their cakes fresh from the oven would be in Souka ! The staff in Souka are friendly, so any inquiries, they will be more than happy to assist you. To me, the price well-justified the cake size and taste which everything works relatively good, no doubt. Besides selling cakes and desserts, they also sell several western food just in case you are looking for warm food that can really satisfy your tummy. Oh by the way, as I mentioned above, Souka welcomes your request on hosting private events and fulfilling your custom bake cake(s), scroll below for the contact details! (Terms & Conditions definitely apply :D )

Last but not least, looking forward to see what else Souka can come up with their new product to attract the customers.
