Dal.Komm Coffee, Suria KLCC

After going through 2 weeks of craziness at work, I decided to take a week off with my parents to KL, accompanying my dad while mom was meeting her friends. Of course, I can't just ditch dad and off to my friends so we spent some quality time, walking around Suria KLCC, doing some shopping... only at the end of that day I realized it's like when I'm hanging out with my girlfriends. :D

We took a break at this Korean cafe instead of our usual spots i.e. Starbucks and the place is called Dal.Komm Coffee. If you didn't know, dalkom means sweet in Korean. 

Nunpat Dessert Cafe, Imago KK Times Square

I've been continuing my search for the next flavour I want to feature after the last Flavour Crush post but what can I say. My interest is still going on towards Green Tea. 

A friend of mine introduced me to this Korean dessert cafe in Imago KK Times Square and I gotta say, I'm already making plans for future visits. 

If you didn't know, this cafe is actually a sister cafe to Beans N Beans. Even the menus are actually the same. The only difference is the interior. Beans N Beans has much darker interior and as Nunpat is located at the outside area of Imago, there are more natural lighting that comes into the store.

As I've been wanting to eat the Cheesy Egg Ham Tortilla from the last time I went to Beans N Beans, I ordered it again.

The highlight of this visit is definitely the Green Tea Bingsu (shaved ice)! There's red bean paste (which is perfect) plus that vanilla ice cream that's truly a cherry on top. I heard that the Green Tea powder used in the Bingsu is brought from Jeju island. Whoa~ I really love it as it's not too sweet and if you're obsessed with Green Tea like me, do give this a try!

I decided to try the Croque Monsieur as well as they're having 20% off if you're taking it together with a Bingsu. Do check out the store for more info on this. 

Until next post, annyeong~

October Coffee Roaster, Jalan Lintas, Kota Kinabalu

Of course, as it's the kick-off of the weekend, me and my friend have to hang out at our favourite cafe, October Cafe. We hit the day off with having light lunch at The Peak Vista cafe.

I've been craving for garlic bread and these are just perfect! Though I always have mushroom soup with garlic breads, not with these babies! They're crunchy and so tasty on their own. I ordered Green Tea latte this time and just love it's unchanged taste. 

Beans N Beans, Suria Sabah Shopping Mall, Kota Kinabalu

I was on my way to meet a client today for a sushi when I passed this Korean cafe at Suria Sabah Shopping Mall and as my client was not gonna be here for another 2 hours, I thought it's nice to have a little something while waiting. 

As I don't have my DSLR with me I guess I'll be sharing some photos with you but I'm definitely gonna snap some more on my next visit. 

October Cafe, The Peak Vista

If you didn't know, I'm a huge fan of Korean culture. K-Pop used to be a huge part of it but my K-culture fever had started from a K-drama starred by my all-time fave actress, Song Hyekyo. 

One of things about K-culture that I love is cafe. I had an opportunity to work part time as online shopping site administrator selling K-beauty products before and the person I worked with travelled back-and-forth from Seoul to Kota Kinabalu quite frequently. So one of the things she shared about living in Seoul is the cafe culture which is very much practiced by a lot of people who are living in that city. .

.. so I began to dream to go to similar kinds of cafe in Seoul. I was really excited actually when my new friend brought me to this cafe located at The Peak Vista, Tanjung Lipat, Kota Kinabalu. 

I found that there's limited number of parking spaces so I'm guessing it's even harder to get parking space at night.

I gotta say, I'm loving the interior. So cozy especially with the wooden furniture. But there's something caught my eyes the moment I stepped into the cafe.

You know when you watch K-drama they always have fancy and lovely mugs for the scenes when the couple drink their coffee in the morning? Ah~ that feeling!
