6 FOOD TRIPPING IN 1 DAY @ SRI HARTAMAS- RAWANG- SERENDAH- BROGA- CHERAS

As amazing and unbelievably as it might sound from the title, it still appear astonishing to me when recapping the memories of the day trip again, as how we had actually kicked off the impromptu wanders for the search of well-talked hidden yummy gems here. Called it the next excursion addiction from the recent Taiping getaway perhaps? (=

So how do we start off initially?

As eager as we were to head over to Rawang the soonest possible to have a try on the social media recommended melon soup, it came to our conscience that, wasn’t it too early for breakie then? And geographically, we still located in Klang Valley, hehe.

As such, the Chief Food Connoisseur (CFC) suggested that we had a quick, light breakfast first in KL before depart for the gastronomic trip……………….before we realized at the end of the day, our tummies were successfully ‘refreshed’ with 6 pitstops of various snacks, hehe.

We can’t really decide ala minute which cafes to visit, so ended up with Breadfruits as we hadn’t been there before.

BreadFruits

No. 17, Jalan 26/70A, Desa Sri Hartamas, Wilayah Persekutuan, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

So about 11am, we reached the place for brunch, got ourselves comfortably seated at one corner while patiently waited for our grubs to arrive.

LONG BLACK (MYR 7)

Has always been CFC’s favourite before trying to coax him into enjoying hand brew as well :D

W. HONEY LATTE (MYR13)

Alright, comes with some dosage of wild honey- but somehow still rather insignificant to my palate, hehe. Or just make do with the ordinary latte at MYR 9

GRILLED CHEESE BACON (MYR 22)

Came as expected with toasties sandwiching melted cheddar cheese, tomato and rockets. It reminds of the Meltdown and still the best so far with its oozing luscious cheesy filling!

Meltdown

After some good 1 hour time spent there, we left for the melon place without further ado.

Gerai Makanan Wong Yoke Kim (Village Restaurant) at Rawang

No 15-16, Block B, Gerai M.P.S. Rawang, 48000 Rawang, Selangor

This place is said to be famous for its winter melon double-boiled soup. So we heed the other’s suggestion to try out their melon and coconut soup, accompanied by a plate of stir-fried young tapioca shoot. CFC strongly advised no rice as we would need more yummy space to survive the rest of the day, haha……………

STIR FRIED TAPIOCA

Compared to elsewhere, I prefer this style of cooking her as it’s not that usually oily.

COCONUT (MYR 18)

Slowly cooked with various Chinese herbs with chicken meats, steeping in the sweetness of coconut flesh. The overall combination seems pretty sweet over savory to me, which was why the latter melon soup wowed my palate.

WINTER MELON (MYR 23)

Love the subtle sweetness that derived from the dried scallops, red dates, chicken meats and dried longan, making it a very homey broth in fact.

After lunch, what’s next? How about some local coffee sounds like? Hooray!

Kedai Kopi Yee Kee 义记茶室

1, Lorong Kampung Dato Harun, Kampung Dato' Harun, 48200 Serendah, Selangor, Malaysia

Reached the old school style kopitiam at about slightly 15 minutes passed 3 in the sultry afternoon. As it had already passed the breakfast and lunch time (they started operating since early morning) most of their signatures like herbed egg and pandan layer cakes had sold off, so we had to make do with steamed kaya-butter Hainan bread and some coffee, at least the coffee was still available.

So tada- soft steamed bread with Kopi and Kopi Cham (Coffee mixed with Tea) at Serendah.

Before the day gets darker at about 4pm+, we decided to stop for Templer Park awhile since we were travelling afar and nearby here anyway. Some brisk walking and hiking might be good for effected and faster digestion…………..and so I thought, hehe. But actually, there weren’t anything much to see, apart from the muddy artificial pond further up. Perhaps, the government could do something to upkeep this place soon? We did hear the cascading sound of the waterfall as we walked mid-way up, but decided not to proceed ahead as the night was falling soon. Therefore, off we go next, Broga- to fill up for dinner time!

Kedai Makanana Pokok Jati

Batu 25, Jalan Broga, Semenyih, 43500, Semenyih, Selangor, 43500, Malaysia

At one glance, you might easily miss out this spot especially during the day, as the restaurant was of wooden built, like any usual Kampung Baru (new village development neighbourhood) and furthermore, situated just off the highway. Unless, it’s lighted up at night, else it’s just quite oblivion to many.

First timer for me, so just asked for the owner’s recommendation.

SALT BAKED FISH (MYR 22- SMALL)

For purist and fish lover, this is good enough and makes a nourishing dish. Would be better if it’s not that salty, haha. But I really do love fish very, very much!

CHILLI PADI GRILLED FISH (MYR 22- SMALL)

For this recipes, we went for the Blue Tilapia instead of the usual Tilapia for the salted version. Surprisingly, I’m more inclined towards this choice even my faint tongue doesn’t really goes well with spicy food, but can’t help as it’s agreeably toothsome. So, more water and leong cha (Chinese tonics) to cool off the heat…………………

LEONG CHA (YONG SAM SO- GINSENG ROOT)

ICE JELLY BEE

Rounding up soon? Oh yeah…………..but after another speedy session for Western cup of Joe at I.One Cafe,Cheras, before wrapping up the eventful day with Train to Busan movie at Leisure Mall, hehe.

I.One Cafe @ Taman Supreme, Cheras

23, Jalan Jintan, Taman Supreme, Cheras, 56100. KL, Malaysia.

It was a lovely café though, that we stumbled upon while wazing and googling at the eleventh hour, which café that was nearby to Leisure Mall’s GSC, so that we can get some sweet desserts bite before lazing at the cinema couch, haha. Will be sharing more interior pictures of the relaxing café in another post soon.

GUINESS CHOCOLATE CAKE (MYR 13)

Fell short to our expectation as there was barely any hint of Guiness in it, apart from the chocolate taste. Perhaps should have chosen the rum-infused slice instead (=

LEMON CURD CHEESECAKE (MYR 12)

Luckily, this dainty slice did surprise us amusingly.  Came with decent tartness that was well-balanced with the smooth cheese filling.  Which then paired really well with cuppa, especially with Long Black, as happily and enthusiastically acclaimed by CFC, haha. Good to see that happy, foodie face, whee!

POUROVER COFFEE (MYR 10)

Guatemala Maragogype freshly brewed in 200ml portion.  Smooth and fruity palate besides very affordably priced as well, considering it’s of single origin hand brew.

SPICY MANGO LATTE (MYR 13)

And for a lill’ more of cheeky surprises, voila- Spicy Mango Latte!

It really came with mango taste with humble spiciness. Although am not usually a fan of flavoured coffee most of the time, but this, definitely something awakening new for some playful twist. Bespoke? Hell yeah!

Gonna pen off for now, but do stay tuned for more food and travel sharing coming your way.
