Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Fondue @ Sunway Pyramid

Back dated post, love to share another yummy desserts with everyone here. Celebrating friend's birthday early Apr 2013, after food we headed over to Häagen-Dazs for deserts. Came across the menu, I saw this Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Fondue in Pyramid outlet.

Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Fondue

First time ever came across with the word "Fondue". According to Wikiepdia Fondue is a French pronunciation, a dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot (caquelon) over a portable stove (réchaud), and eaten by dipping long-stemmed forks with bread into the cheese. In 1950s, fondue has been generalized to other dishes in which a food is dipped into a communal pot of hot liquid.

The most common popular was the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Fondue, ice-cream served with varieties type of fruits and pastries are dipped in a Caquelon of melted chocolate. You can choose either chocolate or white chocolate as your base.

16 mini-scoops of Häagen-Dazs ice cream

I opted Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Fondue for once in a life time. Huge portions, mainly for sharing among friends or family during a special event or occasion. It came with 16 mini-scoops of ice cream in Chocolate, Raspberries, Vanilla, and Coffee flavors. There were also spongecake cubes, chocolate cookies, fresh fruits, love letters, and almonds bid, for dipping process, not forgetting the thick and rich melted chocolate.

Varieties type of fruits and pastries

Fresh fruits are also included bananas, green apples, and strawberries. To keep chocolate repeatedly melting & warm, votive candle placed under the bowl for heating purposes. Just imagine when ice-cream ball dipped into the melted chocolate, the newly chocolate formed coating just like bomb. It's be slightly harden, after that you get the crispy chocolate coated on the outer layer, inner part was Häagen-Daz's ice-cream. Heavenly delicious!! Plus you can play around a bit before you enjoy it.

Ice-cream ball coated with melted chocolate

Since Häagen-Dazs was generous with the amount of melted chocolate given, we didn't hold back with the dipping process. Aside, I'm curious if we finish up the melted chocolate can it be refill?? For optional case, you can also dip into almond bid if you want. Different people different taste. I just prefer to dip with chocolate only. xD

Häagen-Dazs fondue was around RM65++

Häagen-Dazs fondue was around RM65++ I couldn't remember the actual price. After tax close to RM70++ Some even said it's over price, what do you think about it? Worth it?  As I love this cute dessert very much. For more info, check out details below:-

Tipsy Brew O'Coffee @ Setia Walk Puchong

Setia Walk Puchong

Craving for coffee lately, as I'm getting bored with Starbucks coffee, I'm actually trying some other brewed coffee been growing like mushrooms over the Klang Valley. What makes me finds coffee, because recently I'm addicted to LINE I love coffee game. To understand more about coffee, I took the initiative to taste varieties coffee in the market. I did blog hop on the bloggers food articles, manage to find Tipsy Brew O'Coffee in Setia Walk Puchong, recently.

Well designed menu

Positive review from my side, as soon as I step into the shop. Cozy in my first view with English modernize classic design. The wall filed with bricks and wood as the main interior design. comfort and relax mode with some soft classical music welcoming coffee lovers in. I was greeted by this young lady with a friendly smile, which I believed she is co founder for this cafe.

The design of the cafe distracted me well, couldn't help myself to read on the wall, the same time snapping photo. You know me well, I love to share it out on my blog column. The menu even melted my heart, designed from recycle materials and wood which is friendly environment.

Mango Smoothies [RM10.90]

The young lady serve me well, as I was flipping through the menu. She explained in details, the types of brewed coffee including milk base coffee. They do have other drinks beside coffee. Mango Smoothies recommended by my friend. She said Tipsy uses fresh fruit puri, flavored refreshing drink during the hot weather. It's unlike others who are just using the normal powder or syrup juice.

Long black coffee [RM7.90]

Long black coffee is a choice at least two shots that makes you stay awake and fresh. Sipping it once, I feel good. Additional extra decaf [RM1.00] or extra shot [RM1.00]. Combine well with English Scones during tea time. Long black coffee [RM7.90]

Cappuccino coffee [RM8.90]

For those milk base coffee lover, give a go on the Cappuccino coffee [RM8.90], topped with foamed milk. I personally love the heart shape on top of the foam, it's sugarless coffee. I added brown 2 sachets of brown sugar that makes the coffee sweeter. It's an optional choice if you like your coffee to be sweet.

Mocha Latte [RM8.90]

My favorite is always Mocha Latte crafted with apple foam. I love the coffee aroma with the right amount of coffee including milk and syrup. Heavenly thick with milk and rich with aroma coffee giving uuuhhhhmm. Mocha Lattee was at the price of [RM8.90]

Banana Toffee Nut [RM8.90]

Animal art cute!!

Heavenly rich, soft and moist!

With coffee just boring right? After sipping coffee, I walk around, to survey what do they have more. Young lady recommend me with their home made cakes. Different type of cakes had own specialty to go with coffee. My choice was the Banana Toffee Nut [RM8.90]. What attracted me the most, a piece of animal art decorated on the plate served with a slice of cake. Heavenly rich with banana toffee layered with nut, covered with cream. Fluffy, moist melted in my mouth. I can't resist to eat more. Different type of cakes have different animal art on the plate. Not just a coffee but creativity playing a main role in Tipsy Brew O'Coffee.

Types of coffeee

I walked closely to their workable table, how they brewed coffee transparently see through. Patient is the most challenging part while brewing. They have varieties of coffee such Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Sumatra, Guatemala, Kenya Kirinyaga, El Salvador, Java, etc. In a relax mood while enjoying my cup of coffee through out busy day.

The Royal Flush Restaurant @ Ara Damansara


Located at Oasis Square Ara Damansara

After my Sau Kong lunch for CNY, the beginning year of Snake welcome me to this luxurious Chinese Restaurant for Hoi Kong [Opening work] dinner. The Royal Flush base on modern concept yet preserving the traditional Chinese architectural design. I'm impressed with the building nestled in Oasis Square Ara Damansara. The moment I walked nearer, the building look like a shrine to me. Every single piece of art work pays off here, it's amazing.

Table for ten

Love the art deco

Our dinner table reserved in a private room. As I walked walk in I could not help myself to snap photos because this place is beautiful, Romantic in yellow dim light, cozy with air-conditioned, relax in a way after long work hours. Every part of the room are decorated with traditional Chinese chairs and table that are imported from China. I got to know The Royal Flush are only a month old from the grand opening date.

Utensil tools

Chinese tea for me!

Let see what do they have on the menu. Our starter was the Special Two Combinations, consisted three layered steamed pork meats and fried meat balls coated with almond. Fresh juicy steamed meat marinated with special soy sauce definitely never let me down. Fried meat balls was good to eat, fragrant with crunchy bites on the almond.

Three Layered Steamed Pork Meats

Fried Meat Balls coated with Almonds

Next dish was the Braised Caviar, seafood with Bamboo Piths Soup. It was a favorite with many of us. The broth was thick enough mixed together with fine tiny shredded seafood. It's just like you're eating shark fin soup. Chef included caviar in but excluded shark fins! Yeah, I do not need to eat shark fin anymore!

Braised Caviar, seafood with Bamboo Piths Soup

Cantonese Style Grilled Fresh Water Prawns up next. It's yummy yummy and rich taste in the heads. Prawns grilled until golden brown and drizzled with a special sauce. There was something different about their sauce which brings out the flavor and the taste of the water prawns.

The Royal Flush Crispy Suckling Pig are including in out eight course meal. Skin was crispy and tender meat. Chef removed most of the fatty layer under the skin. Most pieces of meat were bone in for maximum effect, every meat must go along with the special soy sauce that chef prepared.Scrumptious delicious!

Steamed Pomfret with Superior Soy Sauce. There are no fancy things on this fish. Chef placed it in the steamer to cook, lastly the superior light soy sauce mix together upon serve. Fresh fish meat and succulent. Stir Fried Asparagus with Fresh Scallop is a luxury dish to serve during big festive event. I love the fresh scallop combine with asparagus.

Steamed Pomfret with Superior Soy Sauce

Fried Rice with Assorted Waxed Meat was ideally good to served it in individual portion. Rice wrapped into mushroom flavorful with meat and other ingredients. Topped with waxed meat certainly it's a good way to enjoy. Not too oily too!

After heavy food, time for dessert which are Chilled Mango Cream with Pamelo and two varieties of Chinese Pastries. I love that juicy “pop” Pamelo bite, the soup was not too thick, but rich with Mango flavor. Refreshing and light to with small little Dim Sum bun, fluffy, soft too. I opted the very last piece of fragrant Osmanthus Cake [Guìhuā gāo] 桂花糕, floral and sweet taste. First time I ever ate this Osmanthus Cake. Not bad, tummy bloated with a lot food! Happy! xD
