Strangers at 47

Yay! The weekend is almost hereeeee.... Since you guys have been so patient (as always), here's a special treat for you guys! Strangers at 47; not a stranger anymore to those who live in section 17 (lucky folks)!!! This restaurant is located same row as the famous Kanna Curry House or the Grind Burger Bar! Check it out :D


Hot Chocolate RM10
-We were quite in a dilemma on whether to order this or not because we are kind of skeptical about "things-that-we-can-make-or-get-at-home". However, this super delicious hot chocolate surprised us! The first sip tasted so hot, sweet and thick! It was so foamy yet full of thick dark chocolate at the same time! On a super cold day, this really warms you up on the inside! #musttry

Latte RM9
-Pretty bitter for a sweet-tooth like me. Some may love it as it taste reallyyyy smooth and very milky taste. If you don't love coffee, try hot chocolate or mocha.

Mocha RM10
-Taste a little sweet compared to Latte. We wanted to order mocha latte but instead, we got mocha AND latte. LOL Please make sure that they or anyone else repeats your order before they confirm it! hahaha 
All their hot beverages are really smooth and delicious.


Shore to Please RM21.50
>Cajun-inspired tiger prawns, battered squid, salted egg yolk, spinach, caramelised onions & roasted cherry tomatoes.
-They have several savory crepe dishes that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
-The 3 pieces of prawns were pretty huge! This dish was pretty okay to me as it was kind of salty when eating the salted egg yolk with the spinach. They were really generous in giving the spinach as well as the battered squids which were hiding at the tip of the crepe. I loved how their presentation on the dishes look so simple and neat! It doesn't taste dry at all as there were lots of sauce inside the spinach. It was a little....wet when you're about to finish the dish. I guess if it was too dry it wouldn't taste good either. Not bad, worth a try.

Unfortunately, I was only able to try Shore to Please. However, I've heard that many people enjoyed this BBC (Big Breakfast). You can check Eat Drink KL's review on their other dishes!

Adam's Sin RM11
>Juicy cinnamon-tinged apple, wholemeal crumble, blueberries & salted caramel blending beautifully with the vanilla ice cream
-This was really a nice balanced-flavor dessert! It sounds really sweet but it tasted pretty delicious and smells pretty darn good too! If you're a fan of cinnamon, this is what you must order!

Go Banananuts RM13
>Sweet crepe, chocolate peanut spread, caramelised bananas, raspberry coulis, crushed peanuts, vanilla ice cream
-Say whuuuutttttttt. Look at the amount of ingredients they gave with that price! SO worth it and delicious! This dessert was a mixture of sweet and bitterness. It was warm and cold. A perfect combination for those who believe in "opposites attract" LOL. The chocolate sauce was really thick. 

Spongebob's cribs RM8.50
>Sweet crepe, pineapple custard, meringue, caramel, crushed walnuts and vanilla ice cream
-Very pineapple-ish taste. A tinge of sourness and a bit of sweetness after eating a bite of it. Personally, I did not really enjoy this dish because it had some weird taste??? Can't really describe what it was but other people who ate it, loved it. This is just my opinion so it's up to each individual's taste and preferences! :)

Purple Rage RM9
>Sweet potato crepe, japanese sweet potato, coconut sago, pandas infused gula melaka
-O.M.GEEEE. THIS WAS SO GOOD! SERIOUSLY #MUSTTRY
This dessert was so sweet and delicious. The gula melaka was pretty sweet though. A lot of sweet potato taste! The sweet potato taste was sooooooooooo smooth and mushy!! I'm serious, you will regret if you don't try this. I can eat at least 2 of this by my own! SO GOOD.


Overall, 8.9/10
Everyone in the team is friendly!

MM Cafe

Cakes, you can't resist them.... MM Cafe is best known for its delicious moist brownie cake! Enjoy this post! :D




Brownniessssssssssssssssssssss! Yes, every time we come here for the brownies... we'd make sure EACH one of us gets ONE plate of brownie to ourselves. *TOO GOOD*



OK.. It's so moist and so...chocolatey! You can almost fall in love with it at first bite! The hot chocolate sauce blends SO well with the cold ice cream! Hot+Cold?=super scrumptious! Everything blends so well! Perfect combination (Y) However, i went back there a few weeks ago, and the cake seems to be not as good as i had last time. So, yeah. FYI.

If i'm not mistaken, this is apple crumble pie? Quite sweet though. ok, too sweet. But i guess eating it with the ice-cream is not THAT sweet...somehow

Carrot cake. Grandma's favorite. She seems to like it... I, on the other hand, not a fan of carrot cakes or cakes in general? (except chocolate cakes!!!!)

Mango Millie Crepe Cake. Aunt said that the version that I DID, was wayyyyyyyyyy nicer! lol she's such a joker. Anyways, their crepe was not too bad. But like i said, they are famous for their Brownies.

Tiramisu. This dessert was quite bitter. Not that nice also. My uncle ordered this and he didn't finish it... so yeah.........

Cappuccino. It's quite smooth when you drink it. However, i feel that it's a bit pricey for a small cup. But it's not that bad either. 
Hmm, i think this is pan-grilled dory fish and chips? Not too sure. But i definitely remember the taste. It was alright. Fries were slightly burnt? The vege tasted quite weird. Fish was good though.

Ahhh, this dish had an unique name! i think the name has got something to do with the universe/planet. Can't remember! Sorry. But this was quite good, surprisingly. I loved how simple the dish tasted. Seasoning was alright...seafood was quite good also; squid and prawn.


Overall, 7/10 for MM Cafe.

Stay tune babes

Food foundary, blossom deli, krispy kreme

Always craving for snacks and dessert? Well don't worry! We've got the place for you :D well some of them. 

These cakes are from blossom deli, it's somewhere near ss2 mall, located along the shoplots, might be easy to miss if you're not from this area. Blossom deli is mostly famous for their pan mee, & also their cakes! Absolutely cheap & yummy!



Cheesecake (about RM6/7)

Not too dense, just nice!


Chocolate cake (RM4.50 if I'm not mistaken)

This was okay for me, wasn't moist enough for me probably because I still LOVE plan b's choc cake :D



Blueberry cheesecake (RM6/7)

Just like the cheesecake, just with blueberry.


Carrot cheese cake (RM4.50) 
Probably the cheapest & yummiest cake you can find in ss2! LOVE their cream cheese icing.


Chocolate ice cream cake (about RM6)

I think it's decorated with mars bar slices, really yummy! Especially this ice cream cake has biscuit crust :D 
This wasn't the creamy ice cream time, it's somehow different...

Next stop, food foundary! It's in section 17, happy mansion. It's really cosy and a good place to hangout. Would prefer if they're air conditioned though.


Caramel crepe cake (RM11)
Fell in love from the moment I sunk my teeth in it. For caramel lovers & sweet tooth, you'll LOVE it!
Almond bits on top of the cake makes it crunchy and gooey along with the caramel topping, absolutely delish!


Earl grey lavender RM11

Love this too, though the earl grey taste is not that strong & I couldn't really taste the lavender. But overall, it's still yummy :)


Who doesn't like donuts? If only they opened Krispy Kreme in PJ area...


A few flavours that I remembered, oreo, new york cheesecake, choco cake (i think), almond, caramel

I think I still prefer j.co's/big apple's donut. Don't know why maybe this isn't really my cup of tea.

So that's all for now! Should really go try out blossom deli's cake & food foundary's if you haven't. You won't regret it :) Stay tuned for more!

Kita no Zen

Yes, we know... we haven't been updating for awhile now, but that doesn't mean that we won't! :)
Anyways, yes, it's another Japanese post (we really love Japanese)...anyhow, enjoy!


 Pari pari kani salada (s)-RM18 (b)-RM28
- crab meat and flying fish roe salad with chef's dressing. Between you and me, I'd rather choose Hokkaido's salads. This one is not too bad, it's really simple; crab meat, fish roe, vege, vege, vege...Sauce is quite tasty, but I still prefer sesame oil on salads (Y)
Garlic Rice- RM9
- It's quite tasty.. But you can try Kaisen Chahan (seafood: RM13) might be tastier? haha


Sakura Chirashi Don Zen-RM38
-I ALWAYS choose dinner set because its 'so-called' worth it. If you just order ala carte, it's about RM30+.. might as well get the set right? Chawanmushi was smooth and tasty! Miso soup was quite good! Loved every bite.

Nabeyaki Udon-RM23


-Hot Udon noodles in claypot. It was seriously HOT! hahah the soup was burning, everything in it was burning. But the soup tasted great! (according to friend, the soup tastes better than Hokkaido's) The Udon was really smooth and slimy?in a good way of course! Quite delicious.


Cha Soba-RM18
- Big portion and tasted quite okay. The typical kind.


As you can see, the menu for lunch/dinner has quite a lot of choices. However, price differs for lunch sets and dinner sets. Dinner sets (some) seems to be slightly expensive? Maybe its the portion..or idk LOL


Peach and Pear crepe- RM10.80
-Crepe layered with peach and pear served with white peach sherbet topped with honey and crumble. According to parents, the only reason why they want to have dinner here is because of the dessert. YUMMY! I love the crepe so much, however, I feel like there is a lot of crème and super thin pieces of crepe. It's good though.



Marshmallow vanilla caramel-RM9.80
-Vanilla and salted caramel ice cream topped with butterscotch sauce, almond, pecan and marshmallow.
This LOOKED bigger on the menu, apparently not.. hahaha! For those who have sweet-tooth, you will definitely love this. Even the description of the dessert makes you wanna go crazy! Everything seems like a perfect combination! except the marshmallows; they looked..odd! HAHA


Overall, this place deserves maybe 8/10? Comment and tell us what you think; if you agree/disagree!


Till then,

Macarons, macarons, macarons!

What are macarons? It's a sweet meringue-based confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.





RM3.30 each.

Molten lava's salted caramel. I personally like this flavour the most in their shop because it's caramel! Though sometimes their macarons are nice but sometimes it's just too hard. 


Lavender's macarons. RM4 each.

Their flavours are quite limited, if only they had salted caramel too! This is better and bigger than molten lava's as its filling is quite generous. Love the earl grey flavour!


En ginza cafe's. Located in pavillion, tokyo street.

They have quite a lot of flavours to choose from, vanilla to black pepper! Yes, black pepper! It's something different from your usual macaron, you can taste the spicyness though I don't know if it's something you look for in a macaron, but other macarons are nice!


Komugi. Located in Mid Valley. 

Their size is almost similar to lavender's, filling is generous too. They have another komugi shop newly opened in paradigm! No need to go all the way to mid valley anymore! & they have a cafe too! Will blog about their pastry & bread in the future :)

Stay tuned! :D

Cupcake chic


Salted caramel, earl grey, red velvet (left to right) RM 4 each. RM 22.50 for 6. RM 42 for 12.


Really like their macarons now because it's bigger and there's more filling! Really soft and chewy inside, so it's worth it.


Earl grey, salted caramel, lavender, chocolate & red velvet.




Mini banana salted caramel bagel. RM 5.50 (mini) RM 7.50 (regular)

It was just okay. The bagel wasn't really soft, don't know if it's supposed to be like that because it's the first time I tried eating a bagel. Nothing special because it's just the normal caramel bottles you can get from supermarkets and banana.....



Hello Sunshine! (Orange Poppyseed cake with Citrus frosting) and Chocolate salted caramel (Chocolate cake with Salted Caramel) their cupcakes weren't as moist as wondermilk's but it's still good :) 
RM 5.50 each 

Check out their website or facebook page for more details.

Stay tune for more! :) x

Secret Recipe

We all know Secret Recipe is famous for its delicious scrumptious cakes! But it ain't all desserts! You can even have brunch/lunch/dinner!

Yogurt cheese- sweet and little sour because of the jam on top of the cake! It's super soft. As you can see, the cheese is quite wobbly! Haha but it's nice if you like a sweet yet sour dessert!



Chocolate indulgence- one word: #cakegasm.. It's soooo good! The chocolate is so rich and moist! Each bite makes you crave more! Would definitely recommend this! No wonder its their best seller!


Oreo cheese- this is my personal favourite! You can definitely taste the Oreo! I think the crust is also made out of  Oreo crumbs.. Cheese is super rich and thick! Yummy! 

Strawberry Vanilla(If I'm not mistaken that's what it's called)- this is the premium cake which means.. It's more expensive that the other cakes.. Tbh, it's quite sour; or too sour compared to the yogurt cheese.. Wouldn't choose this if I were you ;P

Next! Solid FOOD! 

Prawn mac and cheese! Quite delicious! Loved it.. The portion of this dish is quite reasonable as so is the price.. 

This.. Was pathetic! Super spicy and no taste! Too blend.. Not worth the money at all..


Chicken cordon bleu- only RM14.50!!!! So cheap yet so good! The cheese...oozing out from the chicken as you slice it (Y) Portions are fair and reasonable as well! Definitely recommend this!


Chicken Parmigiata-RM18 for this.. Wouldn't recommend this.. It was good! But if you like this dish.. I would recommend to eat this dish at Tappers (located at jayaOne). Not only is their chicken Parmigiata delicious.. Also cheaper than in secret recipe! In Tappers, they serve drink, salad and fries as well! Lesser than RM18 too!


Beef noodle- nice and tasty.. Beef was thick and delicious.. Well done! Noodles are super thick like pan mee! Very Vietnamese looking dish!

Hope you guys enjoyed another great review from the 2brokefoodlovers!

Stay tune for exciting reviews from us! Thank you for all your support! 
Have a fruitFULL day, and choose wisely! ;)
