Imagine something amazing! It’s been happening at the Imazium, Damansara Utama. From 5pm, this little cafe, Cream, offers a buy 1 free 1 three course dinner for RM68++. Take your significant other, your family…of just makan with a a friend! They’ve increased the menu selection…from 2 mains (originally) to 5 choices…chicken, lamb, duck, fish, mushroom. (There was originally a burger option but it has been removed). You can also order ala carte but my personal opinion is that it’s pretty pricy. The breakfast menu looks good and super affordable though! A wide selection of desserts are available ala carte but their brownie on the set is so good, why explore? 😂 (my mum prefers the burnt cheesecake though). You can reserve a table but do note that cellular coverage isn’t that great so they may not respond too promptly. Staff are friendly and many seem to be being trained up and have a really good learning posture to be accountable servers. Great place! Been back 3x and my family went without me once! 😂😂😂 Offer was extended to August 2023…but am not sure about September 2023.

We finally tried this lovely little cafe that is located in Subang Jaya, it’s packed with locals and we queue around 25min for our turn, the seats are limited but it’s definitely worth the wait. The staff are efficient, refilling our water and also recommending us options since we were first timers. We decided to go for the big breakfast sharing platter which is enough for 2 - 3 pax. The portion is very big and it came with a lot of stuff; waffle, bread loaf, fries, baked beans, eggs etc. The scrambled eggs are a bit over cooked but bacons and egg Benedict is super awesome. We also got a iced latte to enjoy the food with, it’s a really nice breakfast meal and the price is reasonable too. #foodie #deliciousfood #mytripvlog #awesomepic #couplestrip #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #cafe

I went to have lunch at The Fire, located at Tropicana Garden Mall. The food was good and ambient. The price was affordable compared to the other korean restaurants available. It costs RM40+ for 2 bowl of rice, 8 pieces fried chicken and 1 bowl of steamed egg, delicious!!! And of course, walked around to get llaollao on wednesday promotion 🤣 How to get there? 1. By par, the parking fee is cheap 2. Mrt: get down at Surian station #awesomepic #deliciousfood #foodie

We went to this amazing cafe that is famous for their soybean products, it’s been around for many years and it has always been our favourite! It’s called Soylab. A good spot to get some desserts after a meal to enjoy a cosy environment for hanging out. The place is comfy and there are friendly staff to explain on the options and taste. We ordered a Soybean shaved ice, the toppings included pearls, red beans and glass jelly cubes. The soya taste is very strong and sweet, the ingredients is also fresh! The shaved ice even came in a presentation with the cooling air from the bottom plate. We couldn’t resist to order their soybean ice cream too, we got in a cup sized and it’s really good. Note that parking can be hard to find because it’s located in Damansara Uptown, it’s limited parking but there’s an option of parking in the Starling Mall which is only around 10 minutes walking distances and you can go shopping after the dessert. ##wecreate #kualalumpur #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers

WE VISITED THIS COSY CAFE FOR TEA IN JULY 2023. SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE RUSH LUNCH HOUR, PARKING WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THE WAITER SUGGESTED FOR US TO TRY THEIR FAMOUS TIRAMISU. IT WAS NOT A FAILURE AS THE TIRAMISU WAS DELICIOUS CREAMY AND RICH BUT NOT OVERLY SWEET. THE TEXTURE WAS PERFECT AND IT MELTS IN THE MOUTH. WE FINISHED THE WHOLE TIRAMISU WITHIN SECONDS AND WE ORDERED ANOTHER SUGGESTED DESSERT- PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLE. THE SIZE WAS SMALL BUT WE COULD TASTE THE QUALITY OF CHOCOLATE USED BY THE CAFE. OVERALL WE HAD AN ENJOYABLE TEA AT THIS COSY AND FRIENDLY CAFE #travel #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #summervacation #celebratewithtrip #2023travelwish #couplestrip #travel

Came here for our last breakfast before leaving Kuala Lumpur. This is our second attempt as compared to our Bentong outlet first attempt. You have to queue to dine-in where by your table number is assigned to you so you won't have to worry about your table getting taken while you queue for food if you are alone. Different outlets have different food stalls but the same name falls under the drinks stall with their Signature 1 + 1 drink. Highly recommends their toasts and the muffin. Sadly, was too full to try the bagel bun. The nasi lemak is not bad too.#thongkee #puchong #kayabuttertoast #steamedtoast #nasilemak

#favouriteitinerary #cuticutimalaysia #thingstodo Tucked in the heart of a friendly neighborhood, Seventeen Mall may be compact, but it packs a punch. From a well-stocked supermarket to cozy eateries, a pharmacy, and even a wet market just outside, this mall is designed for everyday convenience. The air-conditioning is great, the security presence is reassuring, and basement parking makes visits hassle-free. What I love most is the blend of modern convenience with local charm. Surrounding the mall, you’ll find hawker-style food trucks and mom-and-pop shops, offering everything from hearty meals to nostalgic snacks. Plus, their effort towards recycling is a thoughtful touch—hopefully well-maintained!

#favouriteitinerary #thingstodo #myitinerary A grocery run in Petaling Jaya always feels like part of my ideal itinerary, and Urban Marketplace at Seventeen Mall is my go-to spot. From vibrant fresh produce to a curated selection of imported goods, this supermarket makes shopping feel less like a chore and more like an experience. The aisles are spacious, the shelves neatly stocked, and the variety—impressive. What makes it even better? The cashback program! Every trip here turns into a rewarding one, letting me save while stocking up on essentials. Some items might be on the pricier side, but the quality speaks for itself. Whether I’m picking up fresh fruits or discovering new imported snacks, this place never disappoints. If you’re ever in PJ and love grocery shopping like I do, Urban Marketplace at Seventeen Mall is definitely worth adding to your itinerary!

#favouriteitinerary #myitinerary #thingstodo If your visit to Kuala Lumpur happens to coincide with a rainy day, don’t let the weather dampen your plans. Instead, head to TGV Cinema and enjoy a movie at one of the most affordable prices in the world—especially on Wednesdays, when tickets go as low as RM10! My personal favorite is TGV Cinema at One Utama. The seats are incredibly comfortable, making it easy to sink in and unwind. And let’s not forget the popcorn—fresh, buttery, and the perfect companion for a blockbuster night. Whether it’s an action-packed thriller or a heartwarming drama, watching a movie here is a cozy escape from the downpour outside.

#celebrateit I remember how it used to be crowded when it was open around MCO, even if you’re to come as early as 7am. But finally, the hype has calmed. This place used to be famous for two things. One was the pastry, which I found the lamination pretty on-point though also pricey; and the other was its Japanese-styled garden, which was real dope. But that’s more for the aesthetics, since outdoor is not meant for Malaysian weather 👀

#celebrateit I’m an hardcore tea fan with immense love for matcha. This place was among the first that started to do premium matcha in Malaysia, alongside Niko Neko. 

But I didn’t have too pleasant of an experience with the place. I found the prices way too high to justify the quality of the matcha/cakes, which to me is already lower than its competitors (even if it’s not expensive), for example the umami in matcha was low.

So sadly I found this place more towards a place to enjoy the ambience than tea. If you like wooden Japanese vibe, then this place might be a good option for you.

#celebrateit Lacher’s been a hot catch lately due to the social marketing. So, I together with friends decided to chase the hype. The place surely has that sleek sheen. All items are definitely good in ingredients and skill either. Just that I found the prices too steep to justify the quality/skill. For example, the flat white featuring normal nutty house blend at RM14. And the croissant, despite being made with good skills and looking very good from the outside, a bite into it doesn’t feel as satisfying as I thought it should be: the buttery flavour came slight short, and the texture inside was a tad bready. What’s truly worth ordering to me is the matcha tart, which has a good deal of layers of flavour and textures. P/S: Mont Kiara branch is the only place with dine-in

Step into Art Bites at Central Market KL, where every corner tells a story! This antique store is a haven for collectors and nostalgia lovers, offering vintage décor, rare collectibles, and unique relics from the past. Whether you’re hunting for old-school trinkets or just browsing, the charm of history lingers in every piece. A true hidden gem for those who love the past! #favouriteitinerary

Tucked inside Central Market KL, Makan Hall is a hidden gem where flavors from across Malaysia come together. The vibrant food court is lined with stalls offering a mix of local delicacies and regional specialties, making it a perfect spot to take a break from shopping. Whether you’re craving something traditional or a modern twist, this foodie haven has something for everyone! #favouriteitinerary
