Coffee Stain by Joseph

Situated at Publika, this is a small cafe with a decent ambience.

Bottom Left: Latte; Right: Cold Brew - RM 16.90

The coffee here is more expensive from what I used to in other places. I usually pay RM 10 for cold brew and RM10 for single origin coffee in which at Coffee Stain costs at least RM 25 (well, maybe they have better/more premium coffee beans).
The cold brew is better than WHISK and the latte is at the bitter end.

However, this is not a coffee shop that I would want to go to again as the service is BAD. On a weekend afternoon, they only have one working barista and it took 30mins for my order to arrive (despite being reminded twice). Also, it took a while to get the waiters attention to present us with their menu as they are just not easily spotted and overlooked us.

Thus, this is a bad experience for me. As I give equal importance to not only the food served but also on service.

The Red Beanbag

With The Red Beanbag widely acclaimed by foodies out there, this is a place for me to try it out on my own.

Bottom Left: Sunshine Soba; Right: The Atlantic

Despite being well known for their coffee, I did not try them as the choices are pretty limited thus none interest me.

However, their food was really good. The sunshine soba is served chilled with buckwheat soba and avacado, mangos, and herbs. It tasted amazing and I loved it! It is filled with flavour and aromas that is making me wanting more. 

For the atlantic, it is served with soft french toast, smoke salmons, spinach and poached eggs. This makes a really good breakfast/brunch.

To bear in mind that you will need to wait for at least 30 mins as the cafe is always jam-packed.

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.
