Jones The Grocer @ Dempsey Hill

Located at Block 9 of Dempsey Hill, we were seated at its alfresco seating area (smoking area). Service was pretty good, with menu and water brought out promptly without having to request for it.

Decided on a piccolo latte, a smoothie and a tapas to try.

The piccolo latte was quite strong, and has a tinge of bitterness to it. Still alright to have it without sugar. The baguette was nicely toasted and with an enjoyable chewy texture. The chorizo dish was rather flat tasting. Reminds me of lap cheong (preserved sausage) but not as fragrant and abit saltier than expected.

Spent $25 for food and drinks.

Plan b. @ Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur

Located at the ground floor of Mid Valley Megamall, this is one cosy looking cafe. Visited on a Friday noon around 1pm and it was crowded. It prides itself as having a modern Aussie-meets-New York deli menu.

Plan b.

One can have wholeday breakfast here. Think toast with egg, Eggs Benny, Breakfast Platter etc with prices ranging from RM8++ till RM26++. Gourmet sandwiches such as ox tongue sandwich? No problem, available here. Salads? Sure. Mains include beef steak, chicken and fish. Had a quick glimpse at the prices of mains. Expect to pay RM40++ for braised chicken and RM55++ for steak. Saw some patrons having Prime Beef Pie (@RM23++).

plain water is available here

Wasn't feeling very hungry so ordered a red velvet cake and a latte.

The cake was quite bouncy, but would've preferred if it has some cream cheese in between the layers. Liked that it wasn't too sweet. The coffee was smooth and mild.

Chong Tian Seafood Restaurant @ Taman Bukit Mewah, Kajang

Visited during the fourth day of Chinese New Year. Had early dinner. This time round, we had stir fried nai bai, steamed assam fish, egg furong, claypot tofu and braised meat with yam.

fatty pork!

steamed assam fish - tilapia (@RM25.50)

huge fish!

The food was alright, and the fish was very reasonably priced. Plenty of meat to go around. The braised pork with yam, well, there were more yam pieces as compared to pork slices. Just four slices of pork.

Total bill came up to RM82.50 for a family of five pax.
