LWIN LEE| WOOD & STEEL @ TTDI, KOTA DAMANSARA

Pioneered by designer Ierfan and succeeded by younger brother, Adam, the art and furniture themed cafes are co-managed at different outlets. Adam would often be seen at Kota Damansara outlet whereas Ierfan would be maneuvering the business at the TTDI neighborhood along with the good aide of his friendly wife, Sarah. Sarah would be lending a hand at the kitchen for hot dishes whilst her mother in law would be ensuring the QA of the homemade cakes delivery. So basically, it’s a family-run business. How cool and warmhearted endeavour is that!

The joint at TTDI or Taman Tun is the second outlet after its successful foray at Kota Damansara previously. Having been in operation since 15 September 2014 as vividly recalled by Sarah, business has been flourishing and now the kitchen have to be managed by 5 chefs who man the savory meals ranging from appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, pastas to desserts and coffee. Other than the ice cream, most of the food here and inhouse curated, thus diners could really expect some awesome and one-of-its-kind culinary renditions created in the inventive way.

For the beverage selections, we were served with dainty cup of Hot Chocolate, refreshing Virgin Mojito and not to be missed, their house blend coffee of 4 regions, Cappuccino.

CAPPUCINO (MYR 10)

The flavours of Columbia, Brazil, Java and Sumatra, are all chimed in this cup of Joe.

Warming up our tummies firstly is one of the best seller pasta.

TEMPURA BUTTER CREAM LINGUINE (MYR 21)

Crème based linguine cooked in an Asian style served with deep fried tempura prawns and calamari, tastily and fulfilling double kill!

The linguine is cooked al dente, with each strain is evenly coated with the saporous cream dressing that could be unrestrainedly addictive with its enticing spicy kick from the cili padi (Bird’s eye chili). Cleverly crafted with heavy dose of fragrant curry leaves together with its spiced battered fried juicy prawns and chewy calamari rings, this is one recommended dish that you should go for whenever dropping by.

It might be a tad creamy to some people as milk cream is part of the major ingredients to inject some savory sweetness to it. For that reason, you might want to opt for sharing, but nevertheless, it really warms the cockles of our hearts. Ahem, this plate is so lusciously palatable that this jeune fille could actually handle it all by herself!

Certainly not a cliché you would see elsewhere.

CLUB SANDWICH (MYR 12)

Full-flavoured sandwich loaded with turkey strips and hearty greens served on lightly toasted bread, topped with French fries on the side.

For those who are looking to trim calories, this plate surely suits the purpose. The toothsome toasties are served understatedly with assorted greens such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, cheese, ham and sandwiched between fluffy bread, not forgetting its eclectic choice of home-calibrated dressing; honey mustard sauce. It tastes light enough yet very flavorous, unlike the usual mundane rich mayo choice. It provides pleasant bites throughout and accompanied by chunky cut of French fries which is also lightly dashed with some herbs that beautify the overall enjoyment.

Soon, the dessert greets us before wrapping up the gratifying ritual.

CINNAMON TOAST (MYR 13)

Cinnamon infused French toast served with strawberries, maple syrup and vanilla ice cream, finished with sugar icing perfect for all your sweet tooth cravings!
