Review : Ra-Ft Cafe @ Binjai 8 Premium Soho

ra-ft cafe binjai 8
Garnering pretty good reviews on TripAdvisor with a 4.5/5 rating, this Italian cafe was on our to-visit list so one fine Sunday morning, we decided to have brunch here. They have 2 locations : 1 at Arcoris Plaza Mont Kiara and the other at Binjai 8 in the city centre. We chose to go to Binjai 8 Premium Soho. Parking was easy (we parked right outside the cafe) and upon entering the cafe, we found it bright and spacious.

The menu

ra-ft cafe binjai 8 Chicken Burger
What's this called : Chicken Burger

What's in it : Grilled chicken breast in home-made bun with onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles with fries and apple coleslaw on the side.

Chubsquared thoughts : On first glance that burger looked tiny and we thought it would be insufficient to fill us up. Boy were we so wrong that we were even unable to finish those fries! The bun was lovely - soft and buttery while the chicken was slightly tough. Overall it was just a normal healthy burger. 

ra-ft cafe binjai 8 Fish and Chips
What's this called : Fish and Chips

What's in it : Battered sea bass fillet served with garlic mayonnaise, mashed peas, and apple coleslaw. 

Chubsquared thoughts : I opted to be healthier and substituted the fries for coleslaw instead which was delicious with a nice crunch of sweet apple slices. The fish was battered with cornflakes and it tasted good - crunchy on the outside while being just nicely cooked on the inside. Most places over-fry the fish until it is tough on the inside but it was done well here and I would not mind returning for this dish.

Overall Chubsquared-tified : 2/3 Food was good and acceptable. Will likely return to try something else.
 
Location: Unit G-1, Ground Floor, Binjai 8 Premium Soho, 2 Lorong Binjai, Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Review : Le Food @ SS18 Subang

Anybody who knows me well will know I am generally not a fan of vegetarian cuisine because in my experience with them they tend to be tasteless, or deep fried unhealthily with lots of batter, or consisting of fake ingredients - none of which I associate to be healthy which really defeats the purpose of going vegan.  However, my lunch companion was vegan yesterday so we headed to SS18 Organic Vegetarian Fresh Mart and Restaurant to eat. Upon parking we saw Le Food few shops down and being curious souls checked it out and lo and behold it was an all vegetarian restaurant with an equally interesting menu to boot!  Le Food SS18 is a new baby on the block just shy of 2 weeks into its opening with a promise to serve tasty healthy food without the 3 evils - MSG, preservatives, artificial colorings & flavors. They do have another branch at Bandar Bukit Tinggi Klang but that location is definitely out of our reach so this SS18 branch is a real blessing for us! Being ne...

Review : Naj & Belle @ Bangsar

-

Tucked away at a residential lane in Bukit Pantai Bangsar lies Naj & Belle, home to Malaysia's knockoff of the famous Black Star Pastry's watermelon cake in Sydney. Apart from that, this is a very good brunch place with a pleasant modern design, high ceilings, brightly lit, and big comfortable seats to lounge in. They have another branch located at SS15 Courtyard Subang mall but the area is not as spacious as this one and the menu is very different with less interesting options. Our drinks. L : Watermelon Lychee Juice, R : Mother's Bouquet Flower Tea What's this called : Soft Shell Crab Linguini What's in it : Asian style carbonara with curry leaves and bird eye chili topped with fried soft shell crab. Chubsquared thoughts : We were initially confused by what "Asian style carbonara" is and was happily surprised to see it referred to delicious butter sauce that I absolutely love. Take note this means it is not your usual chees...

Review : Bla Bla Bla @ Kuching

-
Image
Had a work trip to Kuching earlier this year and made it a priority to try as many popular restaurants as possible. This particular restaurant was recommended by the hotel we stayed at and is also in TripAdvisor's Top 10 must go restaurants. I would just like to ruin the rest of this review by saying upfront I LOVE this restaurant and it definitely made it to my to-return list.  The ambience of this place is Balinese style : very relaxing and inviting with dimmed lighting. The tables are set apart at a good distance which makes talking and hearing across the table easy. Definitely a place to chill out at to enjoy good food and good company.  What's this called : Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab What's in it : Soft shell crab with chicken floss drizzled with lots of buttered mayo. Chubsquared thoughts : Soooo goooood.The soft shell crab is perfectly battered and fried and tasted delicious with the pairing of floss and buttered mayo. What...
