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)

Recipe | Spaghetti Carbonara

So... One of my resolution this year is to learn how to cook, besides baking as I am already interested in baking a long time ago. Cooking is one thing I thought I would never do because I am always disgusted by the feeling of raw meat especially fish because of the smell (except salmon haha) but as of this year, I started reading recipes and finding some super easy ones so that a freshie like me can also cook it. Who knows one day I join Masterchef Asia because of this! Hahaha.

The recipe I am about to share is my most successful dish so far is..JENG JENG JENG, Spaghetti Carbonara! Okaylah, it's not a very hard dish to cook since the only thing you need to really make is the carbonara sauce but there are a lot of recipes out there and this is one of the best I have tried.


Picture as proof before I start. Drool please. Hehe

Recipe is taken from The Sudden Cook

Recipe serves 2 person

What you need:
  • 200gm sliced of streaky bacon, roughly chopped 
    • I use 300g instead because I love bacon!
  • 5 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 250ml whipping cream
  • 30g finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Black pepper + salt for seasoning
    • For black pepper, I use grounded black pepper
    • For salt, I use rock salt
  • Pasta of choice
    • I use Fettuccine

What to do:

  1. Bring a pot of water to boil, add some salt and cook pasta. Then very quickly start next step.
  2. Heat just a little bit of olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry garlic and bacon (till dark pink)- for at least 5 mins. Tip: Add the sliced garlic halfway or toward end of frying bacon so it won't turn brown so fast. Remove and allow to drain on paper towel.
  3. The pasta should still be cooking at this point. So start with the sauce. In a bowl or something, empty contents of cream, both eggs and cheese. Stir till mixed well. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. By now the pasta should be almost done. Check first before turning off heat to ensure it's cooked. Drain pasta. Put pasta back in pot and pour in cream mixture and fried bacon. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, toss over low heat making sure the pasta is coated well with the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Tip: Keep tasting it until you think there is enough salt and pepper! Be careful when adding salt - a little goes a long way - as the bacon and cheese already contain salt in them.

Do let me know if this recipe is good if you were to try it out! I will share more recipes here after I have try them out and proven them good, my taste lah. Hehehe. 

Okay, back to searching for recipes to bake red velvet cupcake!
