Cafe 5 五号咖啡.松饼屋 @ Pudu, KL Malaysia

We always feel lazy to travel to KL because of busy traffic and it's always hard to find parking.

We found lots of people posting about this cafe on Facebook & instagram since last December.
*added to our must-visit-cafe-list*

Basically, Cafe 5 is A Belgian Liege waffle specialized cafe located at PUDU.

The cafe size is small but cozy.

Strongly recommend to visit the cafe at night as more parking spots available.

Location: No 5, Jalan Lengkongan Brunei, Off Jalan Pudu
Operating Hours: 1200 - 2200

take note~

Only cash term.

Between, they only serve waffle, cake, handcrafted ice-cream, coffee & other beverages.

You may refer to their menu via cafe 5 Facebook 

Lets Makan~!

I think what make the waffle great is because it go thru the fermentation process.

Tom & Jerry @ RM 13

-Waffle with melted cheese & spices

Classic Waffle - serve with butter & maple syrup @RM10

add on - Salted Egg & Curry Leaf premium handcrafted ice cream @RM5

I know the ice cream flavour sound weird!

but, I'm glad that i order the weird one =)

The ice cream is really yummy, a lil-bit salty and it really smell like curry.

Just Try and experience it if you have a chance to drop by.

Overall, the waffle outer layer is crispy & the inner remain soft and fluffy.

we tried 2 different latte:

a. Iced Cafe Latte @ RM10

b. Iced Gula Melaka Latte @ RM12

I think i really adore their choice of bean.

Both also sedapppp.

Unlikely most commercial cafe, the boss & crew are really friendly!

we will be back~

PULP by Papa Palheta @ Jalan Riong, Bangsar

Bello~

After 260 days = 8 months 17 days.

Somehow, i just wonder how many people is still reading this little space.

Life is always busy.

It just happen that now i have a different perspective about life.

Begin to slow down and enjoy more =)

So, the 1st return post will be about the hidden Cafe in Jalan Riong, Bangsar.

P U L P by Papa Palheta 

Coffee + Cake + Camera 

are my best accompanies during daily life and especially TRAVEL Time <3

Glad that we had real great time in Pulp with Apiit Seniors.

Talking about coffee and life.

Eventually, we met a very elegant mother who is so passion in drinking coffee.

We chat a little and exchange our coffee & dessert hotspot.

Perhaps, the best thing will come when you got least expectation with strong faith.

Yes, it's hidden..

in front of the NSTP

29-01, Jalan Riong, Bangsar, 

59100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

One of my favourite corner =)

I guess this is the old newspaper printing machine..?

They use it to display beans for sales and a small little testing corner.

Nitro Black Matter

 yeah, they are serving nitrogen black coffee.

To many, it just taste plain or normal.

But, it is real hard to extract the cold brew coffee without the sourness.

hereby, i will recommend you to give a try.

Clean body & straight forward flavour.

Chocolate Cake

as usual, i had chocolate cake.

This is Good, as the cake is slightly moist with very strong chocolate flavour.

Majorities recommend the carrot cake, they said its yummy.

Not the best latte but decent enough for raining day.

Go there EARLY or Late..

Kind of limited seats.

-founded by Singapore Barista-

-Coffee class is available-

...4 out of 5...

WA CAFE, Pavilion Level 6, KL

Pavilion is not longer my check in hotspot.

It's just too far from Puchong...

There is a new coffee house at the level 6 center court.

WA CAFE~

Thumb up for their red bean =)

Their ABC & fruit juice also not bad.

BUT be there early if want to try the cendol *Limited*

P/s: they have another branch around bayan baru but we never try it before.

Air Itam Sister Thai Curry Mee @ Penang

I am back for blogging.

In the past year, works occupied most of the time.

One of the new year resolution = Work-Life-Balance!

Glad that i still managed to squeeze some time for the annual road trip =)

Our destination is....Penang!

the lil island of yummy foods & coffee.

Air Itam is one of the famous check point for tourists.
Mainly due to the Penang Hill & Kek Lok Si.
However, Food lovers coming for the Laksa & Thai-Curry Mee.

Air Itam, Penang

The location is slightly hidden.
It is nearby the Air Itam Market.
Find the river and take a turn to the alley.
Eventually, you will found them!

Tips:
1. Save their photo in your phone
2. Get yourself to Air Itam Market
3. Show the photo to Location and get direction!

Look at the little stools
*Childhood memories*
You can grab the Limited HOT seats and stay close to the owners =)

During peak hour...
Simple set up & the Charcoal...

Ah ma busy taking order while preparing the curry mee.
According to Taiwan Food Show, this is the younger sister (estimated age: 81).

The elder sister =)
Estimated age is 83 years old.

According to another interview from Facebook...
The young boy at the back is the future Pharmacist who usually spend time to help the sister to sell curry mee during weekend and holidays.

Can you spot the Fried Bihun?
Based on the Local Blogger Interview, they start to selling Fried Bihun with Curry Soup as per customer and local residents' request.

Bean Curd (Toufu Pok) & Cuttle Fish (Ju-Hu) as the toppings.
Pork Blood only available as per request? 

Take a look at chopstick, perhaps it is older than i do =)

For me, the Chili/Sambal is the soul of their curry mee!!!
simply love it
Everything just blend into each other very well...
Looking at the photos make me feel hungry again.
You'll definitely miss it after the first try.
Simple but Tastyyyyyy!

Busy serving take away order...

You may order drink from the opposite Kopitiam

OR grab a comfortable seat at the Kopitiam itself.

Strongly recommend their Kopi O'beng..

According to sis, the Kopi beng is good too!

But the local usually order it as O'beng...

Suggestion/Reminder: Less Sweet!

Perfect Kick Off for Morning xD

Business Hour: 7am to Lunch Time

Please note that it usually sold out after 11am, so it is better to be there EARLY!

You may follow the FB page to check on the business hour and updates

Perhaps, some young generation from the family is helping them to maintain the page

In last year, i visited Air Itam twice just for the Sister Thai Curry Mee.
At first, what really attract me to pay a visit is their story instead of the food.
It is hard to believe they remain selling the curry mee for about 60years.
They went through hard time and wars.
The family escape from Thailand and start their living in Malaysia.

It is truly amazing that how they keep the positive mindset and simple till today while the world is transforming to a brand new era with all the digital stuffs.
They still using the charcoal to boil the soup, all the equipment are old antiques...

Looking at them, made me realize a lot about life.
They are always thankful that they are still able to earn the money for living.
They rarely or maybe never complain about life but appreciate that there are people who like to eat their curry mee.
KEEP IT SIMPLE.

对我而言，

阿嘛卖的不只是一碗美味的暹罗咖喱面。

它让我想起从前和婆婆之间的回忆

黑灰白的发色、小手上的皱纹、碎花布的套装...

她们的坚持、她们的认真、她们的态度、她们的故事

真的打动了我的心

真的让我停下来，重新考量自己在人生中要得是什么。

只要还有明天，就会有机会。

会跌倒，会失败，但是只要坚持，还是会有黎明。

谢谢您们给我那么特别的美食经验。

下次再见！

祝你们身体健康 =)
