White Sand Cafe @ Empire Damansara




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.

Rail Canteen @ Sunway Nexis




Rail Canteen in Sunway Nexis run by the family members of the original Kluang Railway Coffee in Johor. They are usually pack during lunch time. We have visited them for a late lunch, hence finding a place to sit was easy for us.




 Cham
 
 All Day Bread & Eggs Set: RM 9:90 

A simple but happy all day breakfast set at Rail Canteen - coffee, soft boiled eggs (perfectly runny yellow) and toasted bun. The art to eating it, is to dunk the bread into the egg which has a dash of soy sauce and pepper in it. 

 Bun Bakar

Toasted Bun (Bun Bakar) is a bun with generous butter and homemade kaya (coconut jam). Pair with a bowl of Soft Boiled Egg and coffee or tea or cham for the complete comfort breakfast set. This set is their all day breakfast set.

Nasi Lemak Ayam Masak Merah with Onion Sambal: RM 13.90 
  
They have one of the best nasi lemak in Klang Valley. The fragrant rice is from coconut milk and screwpine leaves (pandan leaves), together with perfectly fried salted fish and groundnuts. You can have this dish with different types of chicken, such as fried chicken, chicken rendang, etc. Apart from chicken you can also choose sambal as well. Options available for sambal are sambal ikan bilis (anchovies sambal), sambal udang (shrimps sambal), sambal sotong (squids sambal), sambal kerang (cockles sambal) and sambal bawang (onions sambal). I ordered my nasi lemak with onion sambal.

 Mee Rebus: RM 11.90

Rail Canteen's Mee Rebus gravy is rich and thick. This dish comes with boiled egg, fish cake and tofu. Mee Rebus lovers, you definitely have to try this. I am not a fan of mee rubus, but I still found myself digging in for more all because of the rich and flavorful broth goes so well with the noodles.

Overall Rail Canteen is varied enough to suit both old and young, hence do not worry making it your next visit place. I would definitely pay them another visit.

D'Laksa @ Metro Prima Kepong



I have been seeing this place on Instagram for some times. I have passed by this place a few times as well, never thought of trying until recently when I was at Aeon Metor Prima.

Finally, we decided to have our dinner at D'Laksa. We ordered Asam Laksa and Fish ball soup.


Asam Laksa : RM 6:50

The bowl of Laksa was filled with noodles, shredded cucumber, onions, lettuce, pineapple and a generous amount of fish meat. For the price, fish meat was reasonable. The broth was very flavorful with the right balance of sour and spicy.

I am not too much into Laksa, but the flavors of the broth at D'Laksa was worth tasting. Plus a dash of prawn paste for that extra flavor made it even better.


Fish Ball : RM 4:50

The fish balls come in the same broth base as the Asam Laksa. Fish balls were huge and bouncy. For small bite, these fish balls are great. They are one of cheapest and nicest snacks you can find while shopping.



If you pass by D'Laksa in any mall, give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised by the taste of it. I will visit them again if I pass by their kiosk.

Swensen's @ Sunway Putra Mall



  
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 @ Bandar Menjalara



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 @ Sunway



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

Lemongrass Tea: RM 4.90
 
Pad Krapow Chicken with Rice: RM8.90

We order Chicken Basil with rice, as this is my favorite Thai food I order this is every Thai restaurant I visit. It was flavorful and not that spicy for my taste bud.

Green Curry Chicken Noddles: RM 11.90

Green Curry Noddles came loaded with an assortment of condiments. The soup was full with flavors, spices and texture of the curry was creamy, certainly a satisfactory Thai meal.

Lemongrass and Lyche tea was very refreshing, it complemented well with our food. Overall, we had a good meal after work. We will pay them another visit if we are in that area.

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.
