Caffe Bene

Finally, I managed to get a seat at the popular Korean coffee chain - Caffe Bene at Sunway Pyramid. The long queue always discouraged me to dine at their place. But, yet I decided to line up and await my turn.

The coffee shop was small and pretty confined, making me less comfortable especially with the tight space filled with customers bringing in baby prams (hard to move around). OMG. This is definitely not the place for you to take your own time and getting your work done (unless you do not mind the long queue of people eyeing for your seats)

Affogatto, Latte, Choco Nut Waffle

I know that the popular food on the menu is the ice bingsu, but I did not try that - just do not feel like it. Instead I got the choco nut waffle for about rm 14.50 and it was pretty disappointing I would say. The waffle is topped with a mixed of nuts (cashew, walnuts, almond, hazelnut) and drizzled with chocolate sauce. However, the waffle is pretty dry and the choco sauce is just not enough. With me and a friend who has a sweet tooth and waffles lover, we decided not to order this AGAIN!

The Affogatto, I would say is not the best I have tasted but the espresso is really GOOD and the vanilla ice cream has milky taste which I do not favour as I do not like milk. It costs about rm 13

The latte for about RM 12 was GOOD as I love having thick, smooth, creamy foam with my latte and Caffe Bene did not disappoint. Despite the usual price for a cup of latte, over here they serve with a bigger mug compared to other coffee shops, so Regular is way enough. 

When I was there, they were having surveys for customers on their upcoming launch pre-mixed coffee. We got to try their coffee too and was given a free americano sample. I heard that the coffee is from Costa Rica beans which I can't wait to try especially after tasting their espresso.

Would I go again? Meh! Only if my friend wants to.

Namoo Korean Dessert Cafe

With one of their branches situated in Publika, Namoo means tree in Korean incorporates coffee lifestyle with korean food. Their cafe has a nice ambience with korean songs radio-ed in the cafe.
This place is definitely a must-go-to for avid coffee lovers and Kpop addict.

I have tried their Korean Black Coffee before and it was not bad, slightly different than what we used to have. The food was really good and I am not someone who are easily pleased by just good ambience.

Salted Ice Cream Caramel Popcorn Bingsoo RM 18.90

Korean Spicy Tteok Bok Ki - RM 14.90

Milky Hwa Che Ice - price n/a

Bibimbap - RM 17.90

Overall, this is the best cafe/restaurant so far. I loved the popcorn bingsoo so much! Great combination of salted caramel, rice cakes, vanilla ice cream, nuts and popcorns. Also, it is too huge to be eaten on your own thus sharing is needed.

The Milky Hwa Che Ice is a fruit punch drink. I expected it to taste like makgeolli and that is why i ordered, for my love towards makgeolli but instead it tasted like not-properly-done fermented rice wine with artificial strawberry flavoring. Well, it might just be my personal preference as my friend liked it and he finished the drink.

Tteok Bok Ki is by far one of my fave korean street food and  this is the first time I have tasted it with baked cheese. It was a pretty good combination actually and the plate was slate-clean by everyone on  the table.

Salon Du Chocolat

My friends and I went on a foodie trip at Publika and we enjoyed it! So, I would have extra posts on cafe/restaurants at Publika.

We went to Salon Du Chocolat for dessert and it is a pretty small place, we have to wait for our turns.

Pancakes with 3 types of chocolate

We only ordered one of the menu and this was AMAZEBALLS, being way better than and slightly cheaper than DipNdip.

This costs RM 12.50 with 3 layers of pancakes.

The dining ambience is nice with a Turkish concept, so something different.

This is a chocolate salon which you ought to try, thus try going on a non peak hours instead to avoid the queue.
