Naj & Belle at The Courtyard

Hello folks.

Recently there are few malls popping out of Subang Jaya, adding to the existing Subang Parade, Sunway Pyramid & Summit. Even though i stay nearby but i hardly go to these new malls aside from the aforementioned. Few days ago, i went to a new mall in SS15 called the courtyard. Not quite a lavish, grand shopping mall but enough to cater the office or condominium built on top of it. Few restaurants open up as well in the mall. This entry will be about Naj & Belle. The theme is quite similar to the likes of other modern cafes. The food served wasn't too far off as well. The owner came from the family who responsible for the infamous Serai chain, Jibby & Co, and Jibby & chow. Promising indeed given the rave reviews earned by their restaurants. Like other modern cafes, cakes & desserts are a must. Quite a number of selection as well. My favorite will be their Rose Lychee Almond crumble. 



Plenty of modern favorites served here like pasta, breakfast & even salads. Not too much yet not too little of choice on the menu. Of course, they serve coffee as well. 

The menu

We ordered Thai Style Shredded Duck Spaghetti, One Sweet Mess, Moroccan Eggs, & the belle breakfast. Their thai style pasta was quite good. Pasta cooked well. Oh, you can choose either spaghetti or fettuccine as your choice of pasta. Cooked with shredded duck, herbs & topped with healthy amount of rocket salad. The duck meat was soft & sweet adding to the spicy pasta.

Baked eggs have been a hit since it was first introduced here in Malaysia. Quite a number of popular cafes served this dish with a twist of their own. Moroccan Eggs here are really nice. The tomato stew with herbs & spices filled with soft chick peas & sausages. Served with 2 homemade bread that i felt wasn't enough to go with the whole dish.

One of the best thing here is their breakfast menu is served all day. So don't worry about missing out if you come during lunch or dinner. My mom loves salmon so we decided to give The Belle Breakfast a try. Made of poached eggs with sumac spice pan fried salmon fillet with chickpeas cake & chili labneh dipping and a pita bread. I personally loved the chili labneh. Spicy & sour that goes well with the salmon. The pita bread must be eaten quickly or else it will be hard once it is cold.

Of course, as always, we will end our meal with something sweet. We had their One Sweet Mess. While Red Bean Bag have their signature Banana bread, Naj & Belle have One sweet mess; made of a hot banana cake, topped with vanilla ice cream, strawberries & lychee slices. The caramel sauce was mildly sweet yet thick. Served hot on a hot pan. the cake was soft & rich in bananas. One of the best dish for me here.

Naj & Belle located on the ground floor just next to the main entrance. Open at 10 am till 10 pm.
