I had been urging to go to this cafe since I knew it existed. Didn't really had the time to go prior to this due to my finals and it was too far away to go from campus during class break. Since I'm currently on semester break, Belle, my sister and I made a trip to Damansara Jaya to visit this cafe.


My sister ordered this Peanut Butter & Nutella (or was it chocolate? Haha) waffle and it's very nice! It might be too much for a person. Best to share it with another person or two.


Besides that, Belle and I ordered Mushroom Aglio Olio and Tomato Meatball Balognese Pasta.

After placing our orders, while having our brunch and post-brunch, we were all so distracted by all the adorable dogs and puppies that were running actively around us. Brace yourself for a picture spam!


This poodle, that had a "Tip Please" on his collar, was super clingy to me. From the moment I gave him a pat on his head for the first time, till the moment that we left, he kept coming back to our table and rest next to me like this:


Haha. So cute but at the same time, he looked really sad. My sister was saying maybe I have the poodle aura that's why he was so clingy to me.


Not sure what breed is this, but it looks a lot like a Maltese based on the features that I can identify, which looked very similar to my cousin's old dog. I like how they dyed its fur; so pastel-ish. Haha.


Even the tail is so colourful and it's so tiny. So adorable lehhh..


And then there's this Pomeranian which I calls it "pom pom". Haha. It has this super cheeky and cute look on its face. Every time when she passes a person, she would stop and stare at them for a few seconds and when we put our hands out to carry her, she would then run/hop away like a brown cloud floating around the shop. Haha.


Another Maltese (I think) which kept trying to get Belle's attention. Haha. I think it wanted food. She probably has a really big appetite despite having such a small body. Haha.


And another Maltese (Again, I think so). They all look so similar, can't tell whether are they really of the same or different breed. This one has her ears dyed brown and later, she had a Kimono on. Didn't manage to take a picture of that.


This cheeky pom pom again, with Belle this time. I like the second picture so much! Haha.


Just look at this! *squeals*


A smaller pom pom which was not as active as the other one. Her name is Paris and the first thing that came into my mind was "Paris Hilton"? Haha.


My sister initially didn't want to carry any of the dogs but when Paris came along, she couldn't resist it and wanted to carry. Haha.



Look at the camera, Paris. Haha


"Let me rest, you humans"


Pom Poms!


She looks so lumpy when she sits! Haha.


A puppy Golden Retriever! Initially I was a little nervous when it came near me cause I am not too used to dogs which are bigger than my own poodle but after a while, it became my best friend XD


And then there's this dog which kept going round and round at the door. Haha. I think it was trying to get out / waiting for someone to open the door. Or maybe it was just high XD


OOTD shot accompanied by a cutie pie


Happy Family XD

Connected to the cafe is a pet shop which sells pets accessories, they also sell some Pomeranians, as well as boarding and grooming services. If only my dog is in KL, then that would end up be his second / third home. Haha.


I'll be back soon, my furry friends!

On 26th of June (which is also my mum's birthday), Belle and I went to Publika for my birthday celebration lunch & outing. She came by to my apartment nearing to 11am, and we both drove out to Publika together using my car. 

We had lunch at The Red Beanbag. It's both our first time here, and we've seen quite good reviews about the food at this place.



As usual, we ordered some dishes and share them out.


Mushroom Soup. It was a tad too oily for Belle, but it was fine for me. Haha.


Signature Toast. I love the toast alone with the syrup. Haha. Belle ate most of the fruits there because I am not a too big of a fan for blueberries as well as strawberries.


The Atlantic. Toast bread, with poached eggs, vegetables and salmon. Very delicious and filling. Don't be deceived by the size of it.


Thank you for the wonderful presents.


A shot together outside of the restaurant. Photo credits to one of the waitress there.



#OOTD shots.


Belle didn't really liked this shot, but I love it a lot!

After walking around Publika, we decided to have dessert and drink at The Library Coffee Bar. We ordered a Chocolate Mousse Cake and their Luxurious Chocolate drink, and share it as we were both stuffed from lunch.

Thank you for the special request for candle and lighter, as well as the Happy Birthday song. 



Super candid shot but I like it. Haha.

We both headed back to my apartment, and chilled for a little before she head out again for work at 5pm. We managed to do the Best Friend Tag, as well as a short VLOG of our day together. Check them out below:

This place has been trending this year in Ipoh besides the new cafes that has been opened. Last I heard about this place, it's a fine dining restaurant and I've been seeing a lot of photos posted on Facebook. Although I do love visiting all these new restaurants/cafes, but it never really strike my mind to have a meal here on my usual weekends back to Ipoh, because there wasn't any specific occasion to dine in such place, until the previous weekend that I was back. 


Few days before my return, my mum booked me for a Saturday night dinner and she said it's for a 3 in 1 celebration; Advance 20th & 50th Birthday for me and her, and Father's Day. So, I said earlier that I've only seen the place from pictures and from what I've saw, the backdrop of the restaurant is like a underwater world, which I thought it was real fishes until I was there personally.



The pictures says it all. It's actually a huge LED screen which covers the entire restaurant with moving clips played. It changes every 20 minutes between this ocean view and...


...the space view. I've been trolled! Haha. My mum made the reservation online, and pre-booked the dishes in order for her to get a 25% discount for the meal. 


This is the interior ceiling. It's suppose to be of galaxy but to me, it looks more like just lights, pretty lights. Haha. If only my room has those lights..


Bigger view of the LED screens. 


Appetizer:
Mushroom Soup 


I forgot what soup is this called, but it tasted a lot like Tomato Soup. Mum ordered Pumpkin Soup initially but they ran out of it for the day. 


While waiting for our main course to be served, it was present opening time!
Dad unwrapped his Father's Day gift...


...and mum unwrapped her early birthday gift as well. Both were purchased from Isetan, KLCC the weekend before. I thought it was my turn to unwrapped mine, when the main course came. 


Harmony Fish


Sea Trout Pasta


Secerto [Smoked Duck.. I think]

The presentation of the food was superb, and it tasted pretty delicious as well. The downside of it was the portion that was served with the amount that we were paying. It would have been perfect if the portions are a bit bigger. Still, it's no harm giving this restaurant a try, but I would only go if there is a really really special occasion the next time. 

Anyway, after dinner, the waiters cleaned up our table and were waiting for dessert which my mum told me that she got us a tiramisu dessert as well. Not expecting any surprises at all (because it's a 3 in 1 celebration), the restaurant's music changed from a very soothing and jazzy choices of songs, to the Happy Birthday song, but in a instrumental version as well. As I said I wasn't expecting any surprises, I was scoping out the restaurant, trying to find who's the birthday boy / girl, until the waitress walked to our table, and placed the cake in front of me!


I was so shocked, and probably blushing out of (positive) embarrassment because everyone in the restaurant had their eyes on me. Mainly it was the birthday song that caught the attention of everyone in the room, and then the presentation of the dessert, which is my birthday cake! 


I did not see this coming!


I wish.....


I preferred this shot actually, but sadly it's so blur. I heard the shutter was slow when the picture was taken, but it looked alright from the camera screen, until I transferred it to my computer. Oh well, at least there's another picture. 


My birthday gift this year from my family. A black backpack which I picked out myself from Zalora. Haha. Mum didn't know what to get for me and when I asked her whether could I have the bag, she asked me instead can that be my birthday present. Little did I know, she went and had a little shopping in Lovely Lace as well, and got me this scented bags to be placed in cupboards/car, etc, and it's Teddy Hug scent. It smells really good, like baby smell which I like a lot. Haha. 


Thank you for the wonderful night, mum and dad ^^
