LWIN LEE | CAFÉ OLLE – 쿠알라룸푸르 @ Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur.
Barely a week
after touching down from Samchung-dong,
we are back again to savour aromatic cuppa of Korean gourmet coffee, somewhat a
cure to the longing nostalgia of Hanguk :) But now, it’s much more convenient
as you could savour this good blend of Terrarosa
beans locally at CAFÉ OLLE,
nestled at the friendly neighbourhood of Sri Hartamas.
Terarosa-
the coffee that knows the difference.
Compared to
the previous visit for its unique Bamboo Salt Latte, this time round, it has further amused our taste bud with its
slightly sweetened element for this exotic brew, accompanied by a decent range
of new dishes on the menu, ranging from pasta, sandwich, dessert and definitely
not forgetting its signature, coffee beverages.
Look at the
gorgeous red coffee roaster that never fails to captivate any passer by’s curiosity
and attention alluringly.
Coffee
connoisseurs will be in their element here when enjoying its steamy creamy
coffee and delicious food, freshly prepared from the kitchen. Not only do they
emphasize on a hearty and salubrious meal, the coffee beans are even hand-roasted
inhouse by Gilbert Kim.
Even it has
its own brand stamped on the omega eggs from its supplier that is selectively
chosen nutritionally!
A Korean
native sajangnim (사장님) from Mok-dong
that has been residing in Malaysia for nearly 10 years now, Gilbert is very
passionate about coffee and cordially shared with us invaluable insights on his
coffee roastery, why he is more in favour of non-dark roasted beans. And yes, agreeably,
he surely got his point that served as my new food for thought instantly. Wow,
am kinda bewildered with this newly acquired knowledge. Having said that, it
also depends on individual’s preference as coffee is a very personal taste. So
keep exploring guys!
Café OLLE
coffee is roasted on site, so you know you are getting the absolute best and
the freshest!
And while you observe the baristas at work, you cannot help but
relax. This café oozes subtle charm; the inviting ambiance of the café, filled
with rustic and urban décor incorporating warm hues. During this review
session, we get to taste the brew from Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
Kochere variety.
Ethiopia
Yirgacheffe Kochere
“A cup of nature,
labour and art in season”
ICED
CITRON AMERICANO (MYR11)
This inventive rendition surprisingly is very well-done! Refreshing and blends well with the americano that never cross my mind before. Daebak!
BAMBOO
SALT CARAMEL (MYR 13)
Great! This
is much friendlier palate wise compared to BAMBOO SALT LATTE (=
AFFOGATO
(MYR 12)
Awesomely
paired with a dollop of vanilla gelato and some chocolaty bites. Simply indulgent! (=
Accompanying
the goodish cup of coffee is a menu offering a variety of scrumptious breakfast
and lunch choices.
OLLE
SIGNATURE BRUNCH (MYR 15)
Awesome plate of grubs especially the greek yogurt and balsamic vinegar dipping! Also get ready to be spiced up by the organically grown sweet luscious tomatoes!
GRILLED
VEGETABLES and CHEESE WITH CIABATTA (MYR10)
Wholesome grilled veges treat that can convince even non-vegan folks. The secret lies in the homemade appetizing relish. Delicious!
SPAGHETTI
MEATBALL MARINARA (MYR 14)
Chewy meatballs made inhouse that surely tickles your taste bud amusingly atop decently prepared pasta strips in freshly pureed tomato paste. Yum yum....
As for
dessert, you could satisfy the sweet tooth in you from…………..
NUT
CHEESECAKE (MYR 10)
BLACK
& WHITE CHEESECAKE (MYR 10)
BROWNIES
(MYR 8)
Apart from
coffee menu, CAFÉ OLLE also caters for tea aficionados and offers an
interesting range of selections. The flowers varietals are sourced from an acquaintance
back in Seoul who also involved in exports to France as well.
MAGNOLIA
FLOWER TEA (MYR 15)
Something
which new compared to the usually daily consumed green tea.
BAEKWA FLOWER TEA (MYR 15)
A dainty pot of mixed flowers.
Ah, if
you are seriously looking for cold brew coffee, you should try out their Cold
Drip. According to Gilbert, an 8 hours patience of dripping process would be
rewarded approximately with 3 to 4 bottles of exceptional single origin of
premium Ethiopian beans.
Due to the heat-free leaching
procedure, the produced coffee has lower acidity without the tannins,
bitterness and astringency that you usually get from a hot and fast brew, while
still extracting the chocolate, citrusy notes.
It has a very clean
and fruity aftertaste profile! Joah! ♥ ♥
** Caramel is ready for novice like us, that's so thoughtful of Gilbert! (=
And if you
are up for some funky attempts, you can go ahead with Gilbert’s creative idea
of creating your personalized Guinness by adding 1 ounce of cold drip coffee and
1 pint of Tiger (beer). Personally am yet to find time trying it but definitely looking
forward to it! =)
Thanks so
much again for the hospitality and the coffee sharing session that surely has
bettered up my noesis on these magical fragrant beans called coffee. Jeongmal
gomawoyo and joenharu dweseyo!

the sweet couple! (✿◠‿◠)
