Moonlight Café @ Sri Petaling


Among all the new pop-up cafes in this area, Moonlight Cafe is one of the hallmark cafes that has certainly stood the test of time. So come one weekend, finally we had the time and need (this will become clearer as you read on) to check it out.

Upon entering Moonlight café, you will come upon a self-serving bakery with quite an extensive array of breads, pastries and cakes. Among these were their speciality cake – the Durian Cake. Also available were other rather adorably decorated cakes. The concept is for you to pick your own goodies, pay and either take-away or bring it up with you to the second floor café.



The second floor café was up two flight of stairs (so take note if anyone has mobility issues as there is no lift). As we stepped into the second floor café it was a bit dark at certain areas but brightly glaring at tables facing the many broad windows. We soon found a comfortable seat with just the right amount of lighting for our mission today, which was really to get some serious work done. But come afternoon, the staff drew down the blinds making it quite the cozy joint.

The second floor café has a separate full menu ranging from savory to desserts. It’s also a full sit-down order and be served kind-of café. I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered from the appetizers a salmon salad with salted egg sauce. The taste was good. As an appetizer, the proportions were quite incredible – my dish was served with an entire slab of salmon fillet (picture below)! Hubster ordered the curry chicken rice which also has generous proportions.

I also tried the tuna sausage bread from the bakery downstairs which was good too, it was practically over-flowing with fillings. All bread and pastries in Moonlight Cafe were priced roughly around the RM 3 – 4 range. We also ordered some variety of cakes from the bakery, but found nothing too outstanding among those that we selected.
 
One of the best things about Moonlight café is that it provides free flow of cold OR WARM drinking water and free wifi at a very affordable food price. We spent over 5 hours there and the bill from the second floor cafe came to about RM35! The wifi speed was however wanting, so you will probably not be able stream your movies here, but for normal work purpose it was more than sufficient. It also has terrific opening hours from 8am – 2am so it caters for both the night owls and early birds.

Overall rating:
Food: 4/5
Bang for buck: 5/5
Service: 4/5

Char Siew Yoong @ Cheras

One of hubster’s favourite joints, and finally I get to have a try at it! Restaurant Char Siew Yoong is one of those places that are really off the beaten track, its closest landmark would probably be behind PGRM building in Cheras. It is famous for its char siew (bbq pork) and siew yoke (roasted pork belly). Char Siew Yoong is like your typical kopitiam – noisy and crowded, you need to overlook that for the great food that is about to follow.    The queue for take-away We ordered the char siew and siew yoke rice with a soup and vegetable on the side. The char siew was marinated to perfection, probably one of the best char siew I have eaten in KL. The best part of it is the char siew meat, with just enough fat sandwiched between the lean to make it juicy and it really brings out the flavourful taste. No wonder this restaurant’s name is “Char Siew Yoong” this is their ultimate number 1 dish. The siew yoke for me was just as nice, though hubster is a loyal fan of ...

Restaurant Yoong Kee @ Gohtong Jaya, Genting

For those uninitiated, there is a spanking new premium shopping outlet in Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highland opened just recently, which would appease the appetite of any shopaholic. But we would now like to talk of appeasing another type of appetite. En route to this shopping outlet is a row of shops with lots of restaurant in Gohtong Jaya, and amongst these shops is a hidden gem – Restaurant Yoong Kee.  Is this one of the best food in Gohtong jaya?   We were there for both lunch and dinner because yes! You just cannot get enough of the good food. For lunch we ordered the “Wat Tan Hor” (Kuey Teow Noodles in egg gravy) and the fried bee hoon with white bait. Both dishes were excellent. The “Wat Tan Hor” was very aromatic with wok hei and juicy prawns. But for me, the fried bee hoon with white bait at Restaurant Yoong Kee took the crown. Spot on in taste with just the right amount of saltiness and crunch with every bite of the tiny white bait. The total bill came up to ...

Nam Heong Ipoh @ My Town, Cheras

If you have been a “foodie tourist” in Ipoh, Nam Heong would have been a perennial stop-over on your tour list. The rag tag team plus the cow boy team from outstation were already hooked on their food after our own “foodie tour” of Ipoh, and we were happy to find that Nam Heong had opened a branch in our hood. But as with all franchises, does the food match the lofty standards of THE original Nam Heong, Ipoh? Lets have a look. In terms of ambience, it is pretty good, a definite winner over the original Nam Heong. But here you have to do your own ordering using an ipad available at each table. This took some getting use to and would cause problems for those who are less technology savvy. Though the normal menus were still available on the table.   We ordered all the signature dishes. First-up came the signature chicken hor fun. In terms of taste yes ! it matches the original Nam Heong Ipoh. But what sets this hor fun apart from the rest is the reddish oil made ...
