Thyme Out Food Truck

Hola folks.

My first experience of taco came like a year ago when i went to PJ Old Trafford food court to watch football with my mates. There was a small stall named Thyme Out selling tacos & wraps. Even though it was small, but the food amazingly sold out before 9 or 10 pm! Fast forward to this year, I found out that Thyme Out now have their own food truck & going around selling tacos. After months of tracking them down, I managed to catch up to them stopping by at SS15 market. 

After a brief chat with the owner, they claimed that the stall no longer there in PJ Old Trafford & they plan to setup a restaurant in SS15 in near future. Not many changes on the menu minus the quesadillas. Taco is still largely active in the menu.

The menu

I've tasted plenty of tacos besides thyme out. From Chilli's to that taco stall in IPC, i felt thyme out still serve one of the best taco in town. Their Lamb Taco Box is the best. Homemade tomato taco sauce with shredded lettuce, onions, shredded lamb & aged cheddar, it was match made in heaven. The sauce have a bit of heat & the flavor just explode inside your mouth after a bite. The lamb was perfectly marinated & cooked until tender & soft. All of these ingredients sit on a bed of warm tortilla bread.

To track them & not to miss them, be sure to follow them on their Thyme Out instagram for movement & update. Good luck hunting them down!

Croisserie at Plaza Damansara

Hiya folks.

After discovering The Bread Shop in my previous post, it looks like it wasn't the only bakery in the area. Within just a few steps from Huckleberry, there is a bakery waiting to be discovered called Croisserie. The name probably derived from Croissant. According to the bakery owner, most of their breads & pastries are French influence. Best thing about bread is that each bakery will have their own signature bread. 

Here they have even more choices of pastries, tarts, rolls than The Bread Shop. They have loaves as well but not as many as The Bread Shop.

Cakes counter are available as well for cake lovers. Their Earl Grey cake is their best sellers. 

If you're visiting Huckleberry, be sure to walk a few steps to Croisserie & you won't regret taking that 60 seconds walk.

Huckleberry Food & Fare at Plaza Damansara - revisit

Hello folks. 

After my previous visit to Huckleberry fortnight ago, we've been thinking about revisiting especially since we still haven't tasted the pasta, burger, sandwiches & soup. During weekdays or working days, parking would be a bit difficult to find. So avoid coming during peak lunch hour. 

This time, we ordered Duck Bacon & egg pasta, moroccan chicken soup & Chicken pie. First up, the soup as appetizer. Almost similar with minestrone soup with tomato base but a bit thick. Soup were filled with a dash of cream, diced chicken meat, tomatoes & chick peas. It was quite refreshing with the tomato flavor not too strong. Served with a slice of bread. 

Moroccan Soup

The pasta was decent. Served with diced duck bacon & a poached egg on top. The trick of getting the best out of this dish is by breaking the egg to let the yolk mix with the pasta & eat it whole. The sweetness provided by the shallots & duck bacon gives that extra edge to this dish.

Duck bacon & egg pasta

Huckleberry boasted with nice selection of baking goods so it's no surprise to see pie on the menu. The chicken pie was excellent. Soft yet crunchy pie crust with nice creamy filling of chicken & mushroom. A must try!

The Bread Shop at Bukit Damansara

Hiya folks. 

Ah, bread. Who doesn't love them? We all do. Even though in Malaysia, rice & noodles are two most popular staple diet, bread slowly climbing up onto the chart especially for those weight watchers. I fell in love with bread thanks to the infamous Yakitate Japan anime. The thing about bread is, making them is like an art. It is so versatile that you can just create any kind of bread from your wildest imagination; sweet, savoury or plain. Sedap tak sedap, depends. haha

I first discovered The Bread Shop when my sister & mom dragged me to this place for a brunch. It was located deep within the suburb of Bukit Damansara. This place located just nearby Huckleberry and Yellow Brick Road Cafe within a 5 minutes drive. During brunch time, it might hard to find a seat thanks to the limited seating. Take away will be the best thing to do. 

Upon entering, you will be greeted by the delicious smell of bread once you open the door. Here, The Bread Shop offered various kind of bread ranging from loaf, scones, pastries, & tart. Famous pick like croissant & doughnut are available as well. The newly rise of kough amman is offer as well. 

Tarts & Scones

Pies, quiches, croissant, rolls

Assorted pastries

Loaves

Aside from freshly baked breads, they also have kitchen menu for hot food but limited to sandwiches & pizzas. 

Kitchen menu

The best time to get your bread is during morning when it is freshly hot from the tray. During that time, seating won't be an issue.

Yellow Brick Road Cafe at Damansara Heights

Welcome back folks.

During my drive to Huckleberry recently along the roads of Damansara Heights, I can't help but to notice lots of exciting cafes there. Unlike Damansara Heights next door neighbors; Solaris Publika & Sri Hartamas, this area is quite quiet since it is mostly a suburb area. But hidden among those big houses, there are lots of cafe to be explored. I received a tip from a friend of mine on instagram about Yellow Brick Road Cafe. Most photos uploaded are about pancakes. Since pancake is my kryptonite so I went on to check it out. 

Similar to Red Bean Bag & Huckleberry, this place packed with hungry people during brunch time but plenty of seating unlike the formers. 

The interior

As for the menu, foods like egg benedict & french toast are present on the menu. But here, some of the foods are fusion like. Quite a number of choices on the menu ranging from breakfast to pancakes to mains. 

Other name for this cafe is Wicked Pancake Parlour so pancake is a must order. We ordered Cheesy Mr. Mac, Beef Rendang Cottage Pie, The impasta, Peter Pandan & It's a little bit nutty. 

As the name depicts, Cheesy Mr. Mac is a Mac & Cheese. This classic american dish is a favorite for some especially kids. For cheese lovers, this dish is suitable for you. Macaroni was perfectly cooked & drowned inside melted cheese with crispy beef bacon & mushroom. The flavors mostly came from the cheese used. Cheese lovers gonna love this!

Cheesy Mr. Mac

The first fusion is Beef Rendang Cottage Pie. Minced beef rendang topped with creamy mashed potato with a slice of thick toast. The pie itself was good but since i'm fresh from raya food, the rendang was missing that kick which usually present inside kampung rendang. Perhaps it was different since here they used minced meat. The mashed potato was nice & bonded well with the rendang. A bit spicy maybe for some.

The inside

Next fusion dish is The Impasta. Aglio Olio tossed with house made Chicken Char Siu & marinated Soy beans. It was really good. The chicken though, tasted like Chicken Rice Shop's bbq chicken but this dish flavors was powered up by the marinated soy beans. 

The impasta

To cap off our brunch, we ordered 2 pancakes dishes. First, Peter Pandan. Pandan infused pancakes with slices of caramelized jackfruit between them with Gula melaka sauce & salted caramel ice cream. The chef really hit the spot for this dish. Every elements compliment each other very well. Pancakes was fluffy with immense pandan flavor. Jackfruit with gula melaka sauce really add the edge for this dish.

Peter Pandan

Lastly, we finishes off with It's a little bit nutty. 2 fluffy pancakes with a spread of peanut butter, topped with sprinked of mixed crushed nuts, chocolate flakes, banana slices & salted caramel ice cream. Beware, this dish was so good that it easily makes you full. Your jaw can get tired by chewing every bite!

It's a little bit nutty

This place have the similar vibes with likes of Acme. There is a similar dish as well which i have yet to try. Pricewise, standard KL living price. But i like how the chefs idea represented on the food here. A next visit is a must!

Huckleberry food & fare at Plaza Damansara

Selamat Hari Raya folks!

Welcome back to this blog after a month of fasting. During a month break from updating this blog as well as trying new place, I've been gathering data on new eateries popping out. One of them is Huckleberry which i've discovered while reading a newspaper. This place received quite a review therefore is a must visit for me. 

Upon arriving, there was quite a queue waiting for seating. Similar to Red Bean Bag which queue is quite a norm. While waiting for a table which managed by the friendly staff, we browsed the menu. The choice of food have similarities with Red Bean Bag. I guess Malaysia cafe culture mostly like that lah. 

The menu

Upon entering the cafe, you will be greeted by the sweet smell of baked bread & pastries. This cafe is a mix of bakery & restaurant, similar to Frisky Goat with freshly baked bread & pastries ready for take away or eat in. 

The breads & cakes selection

We did take away some of the breads but that will come later. First of, the food from the kitchen! We ordered Shakshuka, Banana French toast, Chilli Cheese Toast with fried egg & off the menu Seabass fillet Burger. 

First off, Shakshuka. This dish, if i'm not mistaken is hailed from morocco. Usually, it's made of baked eggs in tomato stew. But here in Huckleberry, they cook the stew then put a poached egg on top of it with portion of rocket salad, feta cheese, served with 2 slices of homemade bread. The stew is made of tomato & roasted red pepper. It wasn't watery & the flavor compliments well with each other especially the tomatoes & peppers. 

Shakshuka (RM 20.90)

On the menu, Chilli cheese toast is a recommended to try dish. It was made up of a slice of toast, with a spread mixture of cheese & homemade sambal then topped with fried egg. No worries here as it wasn't even spicy. The homemade sambal was decent. Lack a bit of kick of spiciness as i was expecting it to be. Toast was soft with egg lightly fried to maintain the yolk softness.

We actually were going to order their Old fashion burger until we saw the seabass fillet burger just right behind the counter. The burger was made up of brioche-texture-like bun, homemade tartar sauce, salads & a generous cut of crusted fried seabass fillet. It was worth the money on this one. Bun was soft. Seabass was nicely done with crispy breaded. The tartar sauce to me was the game changer. Goes well with the fillet with its tangy taste.

Lastly, to cap off our brunch, we just couldn't resist the sight of french toast. A huge portion of brioche breads, drizzled with caramelized sugar syrup with walnuts & banana slices. It was light yet fulfilling. Wasn't too sweet either. Sedap lah orang cakap. The breads just soaked the syrup to makes it moist. Dusted with powder sugar. 

Banana French Toast (RM 23.90)

Overall the food here are well prepared by the chef. Looking forward to try their pasta, sandwich & soup.
