27052015 Dinner at Carpe Diem, Empire Damansara

Looking for a new place to have dinner isn't an easy task, not especially if I want to satisfy my taste buds while at the same time, ensuring that Min is alright with the selection. However, I figured since she likes Korean food a lot, she might be keen on trying out a cafe that specializes in fusion of Korean-Italian food. Carpe Diem is known for this!

Korean Special Pizza (medium size) 

RM28.90 nett

It's cheesy and nice!

Though quite pricey, but it's really good!

If it's a little spicy, I think it'll bump up the taste by 2 notches =P

Korean Ais Kacang (Pat Bing Su)

RM13.90

It was a little melted before it reached our table, but it still tasted awesome!

Love the variety of fruits in the Bingsu here!

Apparently, the machine had some issue. We were given discount for this.

How nice!

Dragon Fuit Juice

RM9.90

There's a promotion: If you order the drinks with the main course, there'll be discount.

For this drink, we got RM1.90 off the bill.

The place is cooling and cozy. However, it's a little difficult to locate, if you're not familiar with Empire Damansara (this place is weirdly designed, you'll know when you're there).

The service is good, although if it gets any busier than a few customer, you might experience a little slow in attention. The Korean boss and lady boss are very accommodating. Love their warmth!

The price might be stiff for most people, especially if you're on a budget. But if it's once in a blue moon, I think it's pretty worth it for a change of taste. Their pizza is a must to try!

29042015 Jess Belated Birthday Celebration

We've back at Bingsu Cafe, but today's visit was to celebrate Jess' Belated Birthday. She's one popular friend and colleague, I think this makes it the 4th or 5th celebration already? I even lost count of it. Oh by the way, remembered the last visit, I mentioned getting a wefie at the cafe will entitle us for a 20% discount? Well, tonight that came in handy! Hahaha.

Happy belated birthday to Jess 

Durian Mango Bingsu

RM18 

The tradition lives on!

19042015 Dessert at Bingsu Cafe, Damansara Uptown

Heard there was a premium bingsu cafe in Damansara Uptown, called Bingsu Cafe. So decided to head there and check it out. Had some company tonight, so we're able to order more than 1 bingsu to try out!

Belgian Chocolate Bingsu

RM16.90 nett

Absolutely a must for chocolate lovers! Indulge yourself in this rich and sweet savory!

Injeolmi Red Bean Bingsu

RM13.90

Though this looks plain, the taste is definitely not!

It's amazing and it'll keep you going on =)

Kate, Min, Mimi and Me

Taking a wefie there, will earn you a 20% discount on your next visit!

Taste-wise: They've definitely outdone themselves in the making of bingsu. Their bingsu are absolutely smooth and the base shaved-ice is not-too-sweet either. Besides, OW:L Espresso, I'll definitely anyone to try this out!

Environment-wise: Looks pretty good on the inside (couldn't take a shot of the interior, due to my camera's focus being out *haven't fixed it yet*). If there's not many people, it's quite chilly. It's just nice when there's a crowd. They have board and card games there for entertainment. It's a self-service area - Order, wait for the order, and pick it up when it's ready. There's also a green-tea-dispenser available to dine-in customers. Another plus point is that they open till 12 midnight! Awesomeness, to those who fancy a late night dessert =P

Price-wise: It's pretty premium, ranging from RM12.90 to RM18.90 for bingsu. Shocked? Ya, so was I. But you can't get it anywhere else, as good as this. If you do, please share it with me as well.

18032015 Dessert At OW:L Espresso

We need to reward ourselves once in a blue moon, especially when we had worked so hard. It's the only way to feel good and keep going on. So tonight, Min & me went to Subang SS15 to get ourselves a good bowl of patbingsu (Korean shaved ice dessert). There's no where else better than OW:L Espresso. Our last visit was a couple of months back.

Yogurt & Fruits ❤ the texture, so smooth and delicious! #bingsu #dessert #owlespresso #subang #mustcomeagain #ss15

Weekend Eat Out with Min

Went over to Min's place to help her out with her laptop on Saturday. Cleared up her laptop's 'trashy' items and cleaned up her laptop using IOBIT's Advanced System Care software. A few hours later of work, we were testing out the laptop, and although the laptop was working smoother, it still had some glitches especially when playing video - it produces some metal cranking sound after a while. Had no idea of what else to do, and feeling hungry, Min and I decided to get some food - it was time for dinner.

Min wanted to eat Korean, and I wanted to check out the food around SS15, so we went to Street Cafe at Subang SS15. When it comes to Subang area, you gotta bear with the traffic. Finding a parking lot was tough! We took more than 15 minutes around the block looking for a parking.

Tasted good. Although it was spicy for me, but I kept on eating! Min's pretty happy with her food as well =) Service was quick and the place is clean. The price is pretty reasonable as well. It's as the review states, they play the latest music videos! So, a thumbs up for this place!

On Sunday, after dinner time, Min had a sudden crave for ice cream. She asked if I was interested to go to Inside Scoop. I was definitely a Yes for dessert, as I heard from my colleague that Inside Scoop serves the best ice cream in town. So, Min and I decided to pay the place a visit!

That's Min!
lol xD

Yup, the waffle and ice cream combination is amazing! =D Still a little pricey for an ice cream, but hey it's a premium treat. Just in case if you're wondering how much it is, well you can almost buy 2 box (of 3 sticks) of Magnum ice cream on promotion.
