Sky Park @ One City Mall USJ 25

I been waiting for One City Mall to open everyday as I always by pass this mall while on the way driving to work daily. First time, I hate the route U-Turning Hicom-Shah Alam up the bridge, I been wondering why must like this. The curiosity to know more about mall really makes me even more and more excited. After the new route been opening, I been waiting everyday from July and Aug 2013. I thought the mall will be opening during Hari Raya but it's yet opening, I made second attempt, hopefully will be opening in December 2013 during Christmas and New Year 2014. Been counting the days, One City officially launched in 12th December, two weeks before the Christmas 2013, developed by MCT Consortium Berhad.

One City mall it's along my neighborhood, which is located in USJ25 Subang Jaya approximately 10 min drive from my home. One of the main attraction ‘The Sky, Sky Dining & Chill Out Hub’ located at 10th floor. Go up via the glass lift! ‘The Sky, Sky Dining & Chill Out Hub’ also claimed as Biggest Rooftop F&B Area by the Malaysia Book of Records." - Quoted from This is Me; Melissa's Blog

The whole mall it's transparent especially the design up to Sky Park. I'm curious how the Sky Park look like, so I pressed the lift button to 10th floor with transparent lift direct to Sky Park. I started to shiver, as I look up towards 10th floor before I enter into transparent lift. It's an express lift carrying you all the up, thus I don't have chance for photo shooting while the lift is moving.

Roof Top Skypark One City

Here I am on the roof top Sky Park One City. As soon I stepped out from the lift, I find it windy all the over place. Fresh air coming from the open roof top, bringing me to the closer view. Beautifully Sakura flowers decorating along the walk path in the conjunction of Chinese New Year festival.

The main selling point on the Roof Top was the tinted glass which is transparent in away when you bend down, you can actually see you're that you're standing in middle top roof. For those who aren't fear of heights, you may want to test yourself by standing on the transparent tinted glass and look down. Beautifully view towards ten-storey drop in an artistic way.

At night view fear me a lot

Facing behind the mall there's and artificial mountain from far, which it's the view of Putra Heights another city town opposite which you can explore in more details and not forgetting the North South Expressway Central Link also known as ELITE or ELITE Expressway (Expressway Lingkaran Tengah), is the main expressway in Malaysia. The 60 km (37 mi) expressway starts from Shah Alam Interchange EXIT 601 until Nilai North Interchange EXIT 612. One City Mall easily connected for the residential conveniences.

Let's get back to front mall, which I actually like so much, roads are actually well connected facing toward HICOM-SHAH ALAM. At night the view it's beautiful for photography session. Photo are below the different in between day view and night view. Recommended to visit during the night time, as the view are beautiful for photography session.

It's worth while to pay a visit here when the parking fees are free at the moment. If you need to get some fresh air, now you don't need fly until Genting so far, at least The Roof Top Skypark at One City allow to have beautiful view during the windy day. Have you ever visit this place yet? Do drop me a comment.. Have a nice day ahead!

The Good Batch @ Damansara Uptown

It's been a while I been stop blogging, I feel like I need to share on my blog with everyone when ever there's always scrumptious food around. Started off with my 2014 blog post with English breakfast that is currently a popular trend in Klang Valley Malaysia. The Good Batch, located in Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya (corner lot restaurant) which same row along with Wondermilk and Fatspoon.

The Good Batch, Damansara Uptown

Menu being served immediately, without delayed. Roughly I knew what I want because I did research earlier on the blogs and also went through Facebook page. Coffee been always my favorite, I been served with Caffee Mocha [RM8.90] with a small tiny piece of biscotti. The coffee was competent but it's not an outstanding,  yet it's not up to my level of expectation.

Caffee Mocha [RM8.90] 

The Norwegian [RM20.90] served with a pair of perfectly poached eggs and lemon Hollandaise on lightly toasted. Given a first bite, I find the salmon was too thick a very mild fishy smell. The creativity of house-made lemon Hollandaise sauce catered to cover the salmon smell. Overall it's good, but I find it taste a bit bland, compared to Plan B Avo Quinoa.

The Norwegian [RM20.90]

Another dish I tried out was the Hangover Mess [RM20.90], served with corned beef mixed witb pan-fried potatoes and diced capsicums, topped with two sunny side-up, drizzed with herbs Hollandaise. If you're beef lover I must said you will like this dish well, well prepared plus I find it a little bit oily. The portion was just enough for small eaters. It's meant to be messy for this dish, you need extra tissues to wipe your mouth after finishing it.

Hangover Mess [RM20.90] 

I enjoyed the cozy environment, definitely not during large crowd, without peace of mind, lot's of noise especially during night time yum cha session. Everyone been early talking and sharing loudly. Hardly I can hear when my friends communicating with me. There's still a lot more explore in The Good Batch, On an average, each main dish costs RM20 above per main dish, I believe there's room for improvement in the future. Free WIFI available too, do visit this place if you're looking for English breakfast.

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.

Transparent workable table

Beautiful art coffee
