This cafe has a simple bright white themed furniture and french door panels. Tables are organized spaciousness with lots of space in between tables with ample of seating places indoor and outdoor.

While we were at Empire Damsara, we decided to visit White Sand Cafe for dinner. Their menu looked impressive with tempting photos. We have ordered Breaded Chicken Chop and Special Chicken Bruschetta. Both of the dishes were good and worth tasting.

Breaded Chicken Chop: RM 20.90

Breaded chicken chop is topped with a layer of Chef's special cause and cheese with fries. But we have requested to replace the fries with mashed potato.

Special Chicken Bruschetta: RM 24.90

While ordering this dish the waiter informed me that I have to wait for around twenty (20) minutes for this dish. I did agree and luckily this dish was worth ordering. Healthy chicken breast served with homemade pesto sauce, melted mozzarella and a toasted baguette slice.


White Sand Cafe has quite an amount of varieties on their menu. If you are looking for a place for dinner, breakfast and a quick bite; this is your place. I have visited them for dinner, but I am planning to visit them again for breakfast.

This is the place where I make my stop whenever I felt like having some dessert. This time I have decided to visit them for dinner. Food at Swensens is really good and it's reasonably priced for the quality of the food they serve. The dishes are well prepared.

 Grilled Fish Sambal: RM 25:90

 Black Paper Chicken with Rice: RM 18:90

 Soup of the day: Add on price RM 2

Black Paper Chicken with Rice was our favorite compare to the Grill Fish Sambal. The Fish is full of satisfying with mashed potatoes. 

Soup of the day was Mushroom soup, which we have ordered as an add to the set meal. Hence the price of the soup was very cheap.

 Ice Tea (part of my set meal)

Overall, this place is nice to visit for a quick grab. Their food is good, and fresh. I will visit them again if I come across this place while shopping for a quick bite or some dessert.

Take Eat Easy is a fusion cafe at Bandar Menjalara. This place is located right opposite Tesco Hypermarket, Kepong. This cafe has a bakery as soon as you enter the place. I was surprised to see this place in this neighborhood. I got to know about Take Eat Easy via GrabDelivery app and decided to check it out personally.

As you enter, you will be greeted into an atmosphere of a casual dining establishment. Got to give it up for the interior though.

 

A.B.C.D: RM 18

 Fat Killer: RM 16.90

Honestly, really loved their juices, especially the A.B.C.D (Apple, Banana, Carrot, Dragon Fruit). It was very refreshing and healthy. Juices served at Take Eat Easy are fresh and squeezed upon order, presented in light bulbs. These bulbs are yours if you want to take it back with you. We have also ordered Fat Killer.

Mushroom soup: RM 17

Tradition mushroom soup with golden puff pastry. One of the best mushroom soups I have tasted so far. The soup was very flavorful and pastry on top made it even better, which was crispy to the right amount.

 Smoked salmon picnic quiche: RM 22

Quiche tasted amazing with slow baked egg and cream, smoked salmon slice, onion marmalade, english spinach in salted crust dough.

 Yogurt Chicken : RM 29

 

This was yummy; whole chicken leg was slow cooked in spicy tomato gravy served with Asian slaw, scotched egg, lentil cracker and your choice of grains. We ordered pilaf rice from their grain selections. It had plenty of flavors.

We wanted to try their dessert, but we were very full to eat anything else. We will pay them another visit just to try their dessert (waffle, cake or some bakery items from display cabinet) and coffee.

Beer Garage is a eatery cum bar in Sunway area (a bit hidden in Sunway). Good food with alcohol is always a good combination. Beer Garage provides a variety of delicious food Asian to Western.

Their food menu consists of Western grill, Thai barbecue and local wok-fried dishes. They have open kitchen concept in their bar, food prepared are fresh and clean. We decided to order our meal from Western grill options.

The Charcoal Grilled Chicken Chop is highly recommended. Chicken thigh is substantially tenderer and flavorful. This dish also comes with a choice of side dish, options available for side dishes are Mashed Potato, French Fries and Caesar Salad. 

Charcoal Grilled Chicken Chop with Mashed Potato: RM 14

 

Charcoal Grilled Chicken Chop with French Fries: RM 14

 Long Island Iced Tea

Overall, this place is nice to visit for dinner and some drinks. Their food is really good, and fresh, and their relaxing environment makes it even better.

Star Village @ Desa Aman Puri

Star Village @ Desa Aman Puri

We have recently visited Star Village for dinner. Their branch at Desa Aman Puri is quite new, easy to locate and find parking. Decoration of the restaurant was very nice. I did not expect to see such a place in the neighborhood. If you visit them on Valentines day, they decorate the place well with love shaped balloons and make the environment very cozy. 

 

 

As we entered the restaurant, it was quite packed. But we managed to get their last empty table just in-front of the soup corner. And went straight to ordering our food.

Fresh Lemon Juice: RM 5.90

Ice Lemon Tea: RM 5.90 

We have ordered Fresh Lemon Juice and Ice Lemon Tea. The drinks were pretty decent. It had a strong Lemon taste.

Mushroom Soup: RM 8.80

Since we were seated just in-front of the mushroom soup, we decided to give this a try. They have few types of soups. However, Mushroom soup is their best seller. It was staged right in front of the kitchen and served directly to customers. The soup was quite thick and well prepared.

Crispy Fried Cuttle Fish: RM13.90

Crispy Fried Cuttle Fish, in sort Fried Squid.  This dish was tasty and deep fried to the right level of crispness.

Lamb Chop Mint Sauce: RM22.90

The Lamb Chop was very disappointing. All three Lamb chops I received were extremely thin and was filled with bones. I had a hard time eating it. This dish came with two side dishes, Fries and Salad.  Fries and Salads had decent taste.

Grilled Chicken Chop with Black Paper Sauce: RM 19.90

Chicken Chop looked good and it had same side dishes as Lamb Chop. Taste wise it was a lot better compare to Lamb Chop.

Overall, our experience at the Start Village was good. I would visit them again, probably will not order their Lamb Chops next time. If you are in Desa Aman Puri, do give this place a try.

Ben's Independent Grocer, I started visiting this place few years back when I used to work at Glo Damansara, PJ. We used to visit them for lunch, specially for their Grill me! Ben's used to grill all marinated meats you can purchase at the grocer. But recently, they only grill their Lamb with Grill me sticker. I was quite disappointed on this, since my favourite with them was marinated chicken from the grocer and I will usually add on their mashed potato and fries with my grill chicken. Since they do not grill chicken anymore, we have decided to order grilled chicken from the menu.

At DC Mall's Ben's Independent Grocer, you will need to order your food at the counter. We have decided to go for their BIG Half Roasted Chicken with 2 sides. For sides I ordered chips and butter rice. Sauce options given to us were black paper sauce and chicken soup. Black pepper sauce sounded better with our chicken, so we decided to order it.

BIG Half Roasted Chicken, Butter Rice, Chunky Chips: RM 32

Roasted chicken was very fresh and juicy. Black pepper sauce on it made it even better. However, I would still prefer my usual marinated chicken from the grocer over BIG Roasted chicken.

Ben's Independent Grocer at DC has many options for different types of food, such as Vietnamese food, Western food, Dessert and Coffee. We were very full with the Roasted chicken, but as always there is always space for dessert. So we have decided to move to their dessert cafe and order Red Velvet Cake.

Overall, I have always been happy with Ben's Independent Grocer's food. This is my 6th or 7th visit to Ben's and they have never failed to impress me with their tasty food.

I heard about Merchant's Lane Cafe from a friend of mine. The cafe is hidden, not easy to find. I had to wait in-front of ATC (Advance Tertiary College) for my friend to guide me to the cafe. The cafe is just next to ATC, but their entrance is hidden by another shop which is located in group floor.

Since we have visited them on the weekend; it was quite crowded, but we managed to find a place to sit without queuing.

Their menu is interesting with limited options, western cooking with a twist of asian fusion.

Latte: RM 11

Italian Chow Mien: RM 24

South China Sea: RM 32

Kai Fan 4.0: RM 24

Fai Fan 4.0, grilled chicken topped with thai green curry rice and served with rice and steamed vegetables. You might wonder about their version of Kai Fan which is 4.0 and its difference with Kai Fan, well normal Kai Fan is grilled chicken with butter rice, salad and fried egg. 

South China Sea, grilled salmon served with eggs, salad and housemade hash. Italian chow mein, which is stir fried spaghetti with traditional Malaysian chicken rendang. It tasted just like Fried Mee to me.

Overall, I am satisfied with their food. Their serving size is good, taste and service were equally. However, locating the place is a pain. Specially for those who are driving, looking for a place to park will not be easy. If you are planning to visit Merchant's Lane for brunch on the weekend, I would suggest to use grab or mycar instead of driving.
