MISS Coffee & Toast

Further down from Walnut Cafe & Bar but along the same row, in the same building (PFCC), Bandar Puteri Puchong,  there's another cafe called MISS Coffee & Toast. After my first visit, I went back at least another two or three more times within two weeks and here's why.

Outdoor sitting area

This is my favourite spot, you will know it by spotting my bag :P

The very first reason is the comfort level of the cafe. I have a habit of camping in cafes because I like the environment and the smell of coffee makes me energetic. And of course, I can eat/drink whenever I want to, it's like the best office in the world!

MISS Toast & Coffee has a couple of spots that are super comfortable, especially the couch area but I would usually sit near the wall cos it looks like the table by the beach (I can dream that I am at the beach k? Haha)

Look at the choice of pastries and cakes! Omnomnom

Although the ambience of the cafe is one of the important point, the food play the most important role, if the food is not good, regardless how awesome the environment is, you would of course not go back for the second time, right? 

This is what I had on my very first visit. They have me a complimentary cracker with tuna, I guess it's because I wanted waffle but they ran out of waffle and I had to change my order. I am totally fine with that but I am very grateful for that small gesture :)

I ordered Classic Waffle (RM15) and I was surprised when the portion came. I mean, I know it looked sinful on the menu but I didn't know when it came, it looked even more sinful with the huge portion. The toast is super thick with 2 huge scoop of ice cream and cream with a bowl of honey. 

The bread is crunchy at the side and soft in the centre, it my perfect type of toast. Then, I poured the honey on top of both ice cream and bread and take all 3 mixture in a mouthful and I don't think I want to eat it anyway else, the mouthful of sin taste so good I forgot what diet is hahaha.

Caffe Mocha (RM11)

Their Mocha tasted okay. It doesn't taste bad but it doesn't taste memorable either but hey, nice coffee art haha.

Fruits Waffle (RM16)

During my next visit, I finally had a taste of their waffle. I ordered fruits waffle so that I can feel slightly less guilty after my tedious gym session the night before but when I got greeted by this beauty, I once again, threw the guilt away.

The waffle is made to perfection where it's done just right with the right amount of crunchiness and it's not burnt. The flour mixture for the waffle is done pretty well as the waffle by itself taste good already. I have no complaint on the waffle and would definitely go back to try more.

Mini Toast (Set of 3 slices (RM12))

Left: Mixed Tuna Mayonnaise Spread

Middle: Scrambled Egg, Beef Bacon, Parsley

Right: Baked Cheesy Chicken Ham on Toast with Mozzarella

I'm not sure if it's only me but I taste olive oil in all 3 variations of the mini toast, which, in my opinion, does not enhance the taste of the toast. The bread is really crunchy and good but the toppings are lacking. The middle and right side toast taste way too salty and the olive oil doesn't help. The toast on the right was okay but it was not great either. I think the toast's great but they need to improve on the toppings.

Chocolate Cheesecake (I think) (RM12)

The cake has a very balance taste between chocolate and cheese and neither taste overpower each other. However, the texture is slightly hard and it somehow looks like it has been in the freezer for a couple of days. If they bring it new supply though, I would order this again.

Clockwise from top: Creamy Mushroom Soup (RM10), Caffe Mocha (RM11), Mushroom & Chicken Ham Carbonara (RM17.80)

The mushroom soup tasted fine, not too bad but not memorable either. However, the texture is quite thick and slimy (not the gross type but not pleasant either). The mushrooms in the soup was not chopped and you were given a couple of the entire piece (being a mushroom idiot, I don't know the type but it's the smaller types of mushroom).

Mocha was quite disappointing this time, it was too diluted and watery, the sides of the cups are stained and based on the look, it has been done quite half heartedly (the one in the picture has been stirred and drank :P)

The spaghetti is cooked together with green capsicum, which is not my favourite and the spaghetti tasted literally like capsicum at first few bites. It gets better after that though, overall, it tasted good but once again, it's just average good, not unique.

I think it's understandable that their main dishes are average as they are a fairly new cafe and based on the menu, everyone should understand that MISS's forte is on the Honey Toast and Waffle and they mastered these two perfectly and you will want to come back for more.

Upon saying that, here's their information so you can find your way here :)

PS: I notice that the some of the items' price on their menu differs from the actual bill, so do ensure you get clarifications (I notice mine after I have gone home)

Bad Experience in Bakar (by The BIG Group)

This post is going to be more wordy as I didn't take any pictures. Didn't intend to blog about this at first but I thought good or bad, it's worth a note :)

One lunch as usual, I went out with Denise for our girly Penang session. We went over to Lorong Kurau to get ourselves some Peranakan food in Baba Low's 486. You guys must all be super familiar with this place already, if not, a single Google search will lead you to hundreds of review about this place. It's really that good, and the price is also very affordable. 

Anyway, this blogpost is not going to be about Baba Low but about my experience to Bakar. The last time I came over to Baba Low, I was already interested in the shop that is under renovation beside it so when I went over and I saw that it's already open, I was excited. Me being me, I have always liked to have my after lunch coffee/dessert in a cafe, and I thought that both Bakar and Hits & Mrs (Upon Googling, I found out that they are all under The BIG Group) would be able to satisfy that craving.

After lunch, we first walked into Hits & Mrs because the place had a lot of buzz back then and I have yet to try. But when we went in and took the menu, it was all set lunches. We told the waitress that we are only looking for coffee and desserts and she told us they only served set lunches. This is something new to me and it made me wanted to try their set lunch (Maybe next time haha)

She then told us if we wanted to grab some desserts and coffee, we should try the next door, which is Bakar. I of course excitedly agree since I wanted to try both anyway. When we walked in to Bakar, the waiter already knows that we are there for desserts and at first he told us they only serve popsicles for dessert during lunch. But when we asked further, he assisted us in checking with the chefs and they presented us with more choices, which I was happy cause I am not a huge fan of popsicles.

Denise and I then chose to order 'Baked Cookie in A Pan' (RM25) and I ordered an additional Hot Mocha (RM12). Denise wanted to order ice chocolate as she don't take coffee but unfortunately, they do not serve chocolate drink, which was unexpected. 

When my mocha was served, I was not convinced by the look. It looked a lot like milo, or packeted chocolate drink, which I know it's not because I saw them making it. The mocha was very watery by the look, and the colour is not very appetizing (I wish I had a picture to show). My first sip was a larger disappointment. It tasted bitter, with no coffee taste in it. It tasted exactly like the coffee I tried to make a few days ago with my new coffee machine with unsweetened cocoa powder and milk with some espresso. I paid RM12 for a failed coffee I did at home!

Baked Cookie in A Pan came a while later but there are nothing to shout about on this. It's good, the cookie was very rich in chocolate and the vanilla ice cream on top of it melted and blended together with the cookie as they placed the ice cream on the cookie when it was burning hot. However, it tasted just like any other chocolate brownie with ice cream. Due to the rich and thick chocolate brownie however, it does get very filling by the time you reach half and the other half of the brownie gets slightly tougher to eat. Luckily, Denise and I shared or we would not be able to finish it.

Now now, I know maybe coffee and desserts weren't their specialty because they specializes in cooking with charcoal, the old style way (which is definitely something I'll come back to try). I had high expectations on their coffee and desserts because they are under The BIG Group and somehow, my expectations were there. I believe even if they does not specializes in other things on the menu, they should at least try to make it better, not serving us some half-assed (pardon my language) food or beverages. It was a disappointment in terms of coffee and desserts but I have yet to try their main menu, so I wouldn't know if the rest will do the restaurant justice.
