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.
Yup it's the 14th February, we all know what day that it globally, and it also happens to be my mum's birthday =) I'm my momma's boy, just so you know. So on this glorious day, I dedicate the whole day to her (also happens it's a weekend, and I'm not working =P)
Brought my mum back to SS2's Korea House for dinner. If you love Korean food and you haven't been there, give it a try! I don't have a share in the place, but I've been there a few times prior to this visit, and I still am steadfast with the saying "Must come back again"
I like the environment and service a lot =) They're attentive, quick and responsive. The taste is definitely worth paying for, although it does break a budge but it's not super expensive. You really get the taste of authentic Korean food, according to my sources =P You'll love the Pork Belly, and you'll like the variety of side dishes - it's different every time (check out the pictures below)! I'm pretty cautious with where I dine (unless I don't have a choice) so if I can leave a place (with a desire to return or revisit the place) with a smile each time, it means it's worth it.
During dinner, I promised my family that I'd bring them for some of the best shaved-ice desserts (aka bingsu) I know. We headed to OW:L Espresso (we're back again and you know what that means too =P Click here to check out my previous post about this place)
Yet to try their coffee-bingsu but their bingsu's are worth the travel to try (again and again)! I don't think I can ever find another place that offers shaved-ice dessert this smooth and not so sweet (it's dessert but you don't have to feel overly guilty about it either! =P). There's many Koreans visiting this place as well; I suspect the person is charge is a Korean too, but I haven't got a chance to speak with him personally. Must find an opportunity one day to do so =D
Special menu - Mango Cheese Bingsu!
Yea, we got not one, but TWO (2) regular-sized bingsu.
Large = RM29
Regular = RM16
Originally, we order a large one, but they got our order wrong and offered us two regular-sized instead.
*we're in luck!*
How awesome is that??
This mango cheese is a must-try if you're a a fan of bingsu and also cheese lover! =P
The combination is simply awesome!
After our shopping, Min and I were off to find food! I had been wanting to try out Acme Bar & Coffee for their desserts, and so that's where we went for a start!
A portion of ABC's interior from where I was sitting
Taste wise - one of the best desserts I've tried so far! I love the sizzling effect as the waiter poured the chocolate sauce over the ice cream and brownie! Can see that Min's eyes were glowing, lol! Too bad, we didn't have enough budget to try other desserts, but I'm willing to bet they are pretty good too!
Service wise - the waiters are friendly and quick to serve us. They were also attentive to us; as soon as we finished, they helped to clear our table to allow us to chat more comfortably.
Environment wise - this might be different for others, but I personally think the place could use a little more ventilation. A glance from the outside, you'd be expecting a cooling place but much to my discomfort, it was stuffy and warm on the inside. Thank goodness our drinks were a little cool and there was a blower (though it was taken away moments after we sat in) to help a little. We could have stayed for dinner, but the environment just didn't suit either me or min.
Price wise - well, it'll definitely blow a hole in your wallet if you're super duper hungry because the average price for a dinner meal would be about RM30 per person. And that's not counting drinks and desserts yet! For me, it's definitely pricey and above the average cafe's price. If you're in for a light meal, it'll not be cheap either. But I guess good (and probably premium) taste has its price.

Of course, after high tea (and honestly, we weren't full enough) we had to look for dinner. I buzzed our colleagues and was suggested to go to Burgertory in SS15, Subang. So, that's where we went! =D We ordered some of their MUST-TRY-items!
Taste wise - they're pretty darn good and fulfilling burgers! Comparable to myBurgerLab, but their focus on the pork is really good. Initially, by the time I reached there, I sorta lost my appetite ('cause of the long drive there, due to traffic) but as soon as I had my first bite, I just couldn't stop! I'd definitely be back for another taste of their burgers! Something in their sauce that makes the burger and the dips for fries, super delicious!
Service wise - they're good with their recommendation if you're there for the first time and you don't know what you wanna get for a start. They serve pretty quickly and they're very friendly too! Don't ya love places that serve you well? =)
Environment wise - it's not as big as myBurgerLab, but it's pretty comfortable inside and the interior is cozy and inviting. But the incoming crowd will outnumber the tables and chairs there. So, it wouldn't be an ideal place to be if you're looking for a longer stay after your meal. Wouldn't be nice if we denied hungry customers of seats, when we're done with our meals right? We're all very considerate people, aren't we? =)
Price wise - for the size and taste, I think it's pretty reasonable pricing. Not the most affordable burgers in town, but it won't kill your budget if you're in for a good burger! Go with the set meals if you want to make it more worth it! =)

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!

After dinner, we went over to OW:L Espresso for dessert.
It's kinda pricey, but you just gotta try this bingsu! Next time, I'm coming back for the yellow bean powdered bingsu! =)

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!
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.
