LWIN LEE | KOOSH KOFFEEZ @ PUBLIKA SHOPPING GALLERY





Gracing the piazza of Publika Shopping Gallery is none other than the month’s old purplish Koosh Koffeez that embarks on a endeavor of creative, comfort and chirpy tune. That’s where the many-enquired-word; Koosh comes about, merely signifying happiness when dining here.



Everyone’s curiosity is bound to be piqued upon stumbling its unique name Koosh and each will come up with different interpretation unexpectedly, as there is a saying that goes, "Beauty lies in the hand of the beholder". Don’t believe it? Try post that question to its founder, Yao Han if you are curious enough like me, who initially thought Koosh comes from a Russian word, hehe.





Bright and sparkling huge chandelier illuminates the surrounding and further accentuates the interior grandeur accompanied by the upholstered wall, chromatic cushy couch and sofas.

Are you ready for some culinary kompendium from the ‘foodipedia’ of Koosh Koffeez?


ROMEO (MYR 12)
A romantic marriage of dainty roses and mocha to melt your moment. Indeed a soothing respite enjoying a warm cup of rosy beverage, while at the same time reliving back the sweet memories about this Rose Latte that I had awhile ago over at Le Pont Boulangerie.


  

BALLER KOFFEE (MYR 16)
Ultimate kooshness. Double dribble of espresso served over a Whiskeyball, with a divine creamer and premium syrup on the sidelines. Kreme supreme! Do expect some surprise of discerning coconut hint aftertaste. Are you ready for some clairvoyant and mystical reading from the sphere ball? (=





CHI-CHI (MYR 13)
Make it drip. A sensual Asian recipe for sweet creamy luxury, especially those love milk as their coffee companion. But my personal preference would be the ‘soothsayer’ whiskeyball glass.




And of course, other beverages for the traditionalists.


ICED KAFFE LATTE (MYR 12)




KAPPUCINO (MYR 10)




MATCHA LATTE (MYR 11)




KARAMEL MACCHIATO (MYR 14)




ORANGE JUICE (MYR 12)




DREAMSHAKES OF CHOCOLATE (MYR 13)




VIRGIN MACADAMIA MOJITO




Alright, let’s adjourned and shift the attention to the nosh part.

For Starters…………….

BRUSCHETTA TRIO (MYR 25)
Double trilogy of tomato & basil, foie gras terrine and smoked salmon & dill. My fave bite-sized morsel would have to be the first one- a foodie who has a knack for everything to do with spice especially basil (=




THE MANDARIN (MYR 18)
Juicy smoked duck served on a goma-dressed mesclun salad, tossed with roasted tomatoes, almonds and tangy orange segments.




ESCARGOTS A L’AIL GRATINS (MYR 23)
Naked escargots, oven-baked in white garlic confit with sharp parmesan sauce, reminds me of country-styled recipes at DiningHall too.
                                                                                                            

 


PUMPKIN SOUP RAVIOLI (MYR 13)
Roasted pumpkin flesh, blended with rich cream, and vegetable stock, served with poached cheese ravioli. Essentially soup for the soup, but I don’t mind if it comes thicker with the sweet gourd taste, slurps!




SIREN’S SALAD (MYR 23)
As alarmingly bold in contrasting dolours, the squid ink pasta salad took the centre stage with blanched prawns and squid, tossed in a shrimp roe Caesar dressing. Simply lovely and I enjoy every chewy bites of the seafood.




Alright, a quick time-out from Western delicacies before we review more and let’s temporarily get teleported to Mediterranean for some hearty meals.   


LAMB & SUN-DRIED TOMATOES (MYR 21)
Authentic Turkish pide bread served with sautéed spiced minced lamb, sautéed shimeiji and white button mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, hummus, garlic aioli, sour cream and salsa. Aromatically sautéed mushrooms taste wonderfully done, alongside the saporous spiced minced lamb too, no gamey taste at all but uber yummy!




GRILLED CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS (MYR 19)
A different rendition from the former one, this plate came with healthful grilled chicken slices, to be paired with authentic Turkish pide bread served with grilled chicken, sautéed shimeiji and white button mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, hummus, garlic aioli, sour cream and salsa. Love everything that comes with sun-dried tomatoes as these cherries never fail to inject that unmistakably piquant but delightful nuance to any dish.




Koosh Koffeex is also serving All-day breakfast too, so no worries to the late-risers during the weekend, hehe.




EGG BEN WITH SALMON & ASPARAGUS (MYR 23)
Poached egg in Hollandaise, with smoked salmon, chicken bratwurst, buttered asparagus, sautéed shimeiji and white button mushrooms, roasted tomatoes and toast. Among the tasty composition that tickles me the most after the bacon are the bratwurst which tasted stellar and decently pan-fried locking the juiciness within each bouncy bites.


 

                                             
KING KRAB (MYR 33)
Whole soft shell crab karaage atop a hill of roasted sesame spaghetti. The sauce was pleasantly creamy and not overwhelmingly thick, goes really well with the deep fried crustacean.         





CINNAMON BOLOGNESE (MYR 23)
A sensational Bolognese of minced lamb (optional chicken), sun-dried tomatoes with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg.                




KARBONARA (MYR 23)
Beef and duck bacon swirled in signature carbonara cream, enriched with sharp parmesan and topped with an onsen egg.




SMOKED DUCK IN TOMATO-CAPER CREAM (MYR 25)
Thick slices of smoked duck breast swirled in a creamy tomato-capers sauce.


 

Love their thin-crust pizza too! 

ACAPULCO (MYR 25)
Grilled chicken and sun-dried tomatoes in handcrafted pesto, on crispy tomato-infused dough.




KASABLANCA (MYR 25)
Moroccan favourite of cumin-fried minced lamb, with sour cream, capsicums, onions, and jalapenos on crispy tomato-infused dough.




LAMB SHANK IN COFFEE STEW (MYR 45)
Tender lamb shank basted in a coffee stew with carrots and onions, then drizzled with a  special espresso glaze on chunky mashed potatoes. The meat is amazingly tender and flakes off easily as we fork through it, together with the gravy which tasted slightly on the sweet side. So it’s good for those who are gamed some sweet-salty flavours.  





PEPPERCORN STEAK (MYR 38)
200g of thick prime sirloin, grilled to perfection, with a rich peppercorn gravy, dripping juices on a bed of fries and buttered vegetables. Love the fries that are sprinkled with Peri Peri Salt, igniting the craving for some savory snacks.






Inhouse-calibrated handcrafted gourmet waffles for dessert!




TYRAMISU (MYR 18)
Espresso-infused waffle topped with mascarpone, dark chocolate shavings, strawberries, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream and espresso-dipped lady fingers with a dusting of Arabica powder.


                                                

JAMES’ BROWNIES (MYR 18)
Sensational chocolate waffle riddled with brownie pieces, topped with toasted marshmallows and almonds, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.




In times to come, there would be a stage joining the princely nook to serenade diners both palatably and sensuously with some live band of soulful melody. As its motto goes, “Miracles in your mouth”, so princess and prince, are all hailed and welcomed to dine and drink over here at Koosh Koffeez any time to unlax yourselves over some scrumptiously prepared feast.
