♥ Hoshino Coffee Malaysia 星乃珈琲店, Midvalley KL

Found out this new cafe (Hoshino Coffee Malaysia) in Mid Valley Megamall. The long queue at the entrance of cafe grabbed our attention. Did a google search and found out that this cafe was founded in Japan in year 2011. We thought it is from Taiwan and we have not seen it in Japan. This cafe is well-known for their hand-dripped coffee. So, why not give a try?

﹒

Flipping through the menu, the choices of food pretty much similar to Miam Miam (Marco) Cafe. 

French toast topped with sugar and cream (RM17.70). Quite disappointing actually and cannot compare/beat to the famous french toast I had in Miam Miam. Although not too wet and soggy, but not soft enough and not so rich in custardlike flavour. 

We also ordered the Hoshino Spaghetti which comes with eggplant, chicken bacon, shimeji and chicken sausage (RM19.70). This spaghetti also very much similar to the "miam miam" spaghetti. Slight salty and oily to our liking. 😅 Dislike the sesame blend in too.

Souffle Pancake (Single, RM14.80). Price is on the high side. Souffle supposed to be soft and fluffy isn't it? This is more like a butter cake. 

Basically all the foods that we ordered failed to impress and please us. What about the drink? Famous for hand-dripped coffee? So this is a-must-order?

Hoshino coffee (RM12.10). Not worth the price. We personally feel McD black coffee taste better. Okay or just maybe we are not a real coffee drinker and we don't know how to appreciate. 

Hot matcha latte (RM14.90). We like how they served it in a Japanese-styled bowl. This reminded us on our trip to Japan. You can add in a shot of syrup provided if you like it sweeter. Not one of the best matcha latte we had, but not bad.

Err so... in overall, long queue does not guarantee good foods. Although the foods are not so good to us, but could be palatable to many people out there. Just give a try and justify yourself. ✌

♥ Waffle at The Owls Cafe, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur

光阴似箭，一转眼已超过一年没更新部落格了。近一两年，真的好繁忙，忙工作忙硕士还有忙旅行忙吃的 呵呵。现在工作总算上轨了？硕士的东西也差不多搞定了？我想我可以慢慢开始写写部落格，继续记录着生活的酸甜苦辣，继续分享好的东西。

2017年的第一篇文，就写写吃的吧。The Owls Cafe。我想很多人对这cafe一点都不陌生吧，尤其那些喜欢吃华夫饼（waffle）的朋友。面子书和社交网站也超多人推荐这家cafe的。

这家cafe坐落于Bukit Jalil，在店面的一楼。楼梯口下你可以看到这个蓝色的很可爱的招牌。

说好了是 The Owls Cafe，咖啡厅里主要的装饰画画等当然都是猫头鹰主题，甚至也有猫头鹰茶壶和杯哦。

咖啡馆里的面积还算可以，个人觉得不会太小，但是常满座（对不起，没有照片-.-"）。我共去了三次，三次都是weekend。还没到cafe门口就看到有人在楼梯上排队了。说真的，在楼梯间排队真的有点累，因为很闷热。但店员都还蛮体贴啦，有准备冰冷的水给排队等候的顾客们解渴。

去了三次，都是坐在bar台。没办法，因为满座也许会等比较久，然后我们只有两个人，所以如果不要等 坐在bar台是最恰当不过了。bar台对着这画面 也不错吧。喜欢那橙色的灯光，放满杯子茶壶的柜子，咖啡机... 边享用咖啡蛋糕还可以欣赏bartender拉花。一个好像只属于我们的角落。😘

哦对了，如果要下单必须先到收银处去下单然后给钱。然后店员会递给你收据 还有这号码木块。清水是免费的，任加。

说说吃的。这蛋糕 称为 “The Lady’’。其实不懂为什么是这个名字。因为它只不过是earl grey tea 蛋糕。个人本身不太喜欢这蛋糕的口感，但那淡淡的earl grey tea 香味还不错吃。

也点了这个，tofu-fah cheesecake。相比之下，个人比较喜欢这蛋糕。cheese虽然不太浓，但刚刚好，吃多了不会觉得太腻。

Special affogato。点了这个 纯粹只为了拍照，因为那装着浓咖啡的猫头鹰小杯实在太可爱了。冰淇淋是vanilla口味的。

Rose latte。每次来都点这个，因为喜欢那淡淡的玫瑰味。拉铁也不会太甜。

Rebecca waffle。来这cafe基本上都是因为冲着这个而来的。因为他们家的waffle软硬度刚刚好。外层有点酥里层比较软，整体的口感很好。尤其搭配着新鲜的草莓水果等，还有那很香的earl grey冰淇淋，很好吃。还有另一点我很喜欢的是他们加了一些椰丝，配着waffle吃起来味道还蛮特别的。

Peach tea。点这个也只是为了拍照，因为这猫头鹰茶壶杯子太可爱了。

下次来 也许会试试brunch。

♥ 100 Doraemon Secret Gadgets Expo at Viva Home Expo Hall, KL

In January, we went to the first in South East Asia 100 Doraemon Secret Gadgets Expo which held in Malaysia at Viva Home Expo hall (starting 14 December 2013 to 23 March 2014).

The ticketing counter. The entrance fees / the ticket prices are RM 25 for adult and RM 15 for child. No special price for student.  

The ticket. So cute and I'm using it now as bookmark :)

One of the entrance which directs you to the gadgets expo and you need the ticket to enter. There is another entrance at the opposite site where you can gain free access to the merchandise shop, game area and Doraemon Cafe.

Very cute Doraemon wall paper.

This Doraemon exhibition has a different sections or activities for you to immerse yourself in the world of Doraemon. 

1) The first section of the expo - the Doraemon time machine. Are you ready to travel in a tunnel of space-time together with the Doraemon? 
  

2) The second section where you can witness the birth of Doraemon. Do you know that Doraemon was originally yellow in colour? If you are interested, you can see the pictures below and read the story.

3) The 100 Doraemon figures with 100 different gadgets. Kinda amazing and we do appreciate all of the Doraemon figures. However, presenting only Doraemon figures with gadget without at least the name of gadget or brief description about the gadget brought us small disappointment. Note: To view the photo of each Doraemon figures, please visit the photo album in our fb page. 

4) The Nobita and Shizuka wedding in church. 

5) The Doraemon comic area. There are 3D comics on the wall which allow you to pose and take photo. Imagine yourself in the world of Doraemon.

6) Recreation of scenes and locations from the Doraemon cartoon. 

7) There is a vast array of Doraemon secret gadgets (such as What If Box, Take Copter, Air Gun, Parallela Umbrella, etc) for you to experience and to take pictures with.

8) Gian Family Store where you can buy exclusive Doraemon merchandise.

9) Fun carnival games.

10) Doraemon Cafe. They are selling Dorayaki (red bean, peanut & chocolate), memory toast and other snacks.

 

Overall, it was exciting to be part of the largest Doraemon exhibition ever in Malaysia. It was great to reminisce about the good times I had from the previous Doraemon expo in Genting.
