You'll absolutely love this place to hang out or just relax anytime, be it winding down after work or brunch during a weekend. Rain or shine this place is lovely with its ceiling to floor windows, natural light streaming in, lush greenery everywhere, and irresistibly comfortable chairs. So much so you might be tempted to over-stay your welcome. Feeling chilly? No worries, the staff will provide you with a soft warm blanket! Downside? As per the norm of such beautiful places, getting a table can be difficult, especially during weekends or even week nights when not getting a table (having to sit at the bar instead) or queuing for 15 minutes or more is common. But it is definitely something you would want to do.  What's this called : Cheesy Grilled Corn What's in it : Grilled corn-on-the-cob drizzled with chipotle mayo, feta & parmesan cheese Chubsquared thoughts : This was so good we could not stop reaching for more. The corn was grilled perfectly;...

Hidden deep within Subang Jaya's industrial area where no one expects to find anything other than factories lies Whup Whup , an industrial yarn factory turned casual french eatery. The journey to here might seem dodgy and you will probably believe Waze is taking you in the wrong direction but it isn't. Parking is free but is limited. While you can also park outside for free, it can be limited during working hours due to the neighboring factories and offices.  As you can see from the pictures, the owners kept most of the factory aspects and even equipment within the compound which gave the restaurant a lovely vintage nostalgic look and feel. Before you enter and even upon entering it feels more like entering a cool factory rather than a restaurant until you see the chefs and waiters.  Menu selection was limited - 1 A4 page for appetizers/mains and another A4 page for desserts and beverages. However, it was obvious alot of thought and creativity went into building t...

Brunch is what I love to do during weekends! Located at Batai Village, this place is a popular brunch spot. If you visit during weekends, expect to wait at least 20 minutes. It is, however, worth the wait! The crowd on weekdays is bearable. I went on a Tuesday afternoon at 1pm and did not have to queue. *Seating tip : A children's play area is located upstairs. Sit here for a family friendly area. If you want to avoid screaming kids, request for a seat downstairs.    What's this called : Aspaga-saurus (I presume this is a combination of Asparagus + Dinosaurus. It is probably called that in reference to the huge asparagus sticks) What's in it : Parmesan-coated asparagus sticks with a slice of creamy mushroom toast underneath, topped with poached egg soaking in seaweed hollandaise sauce.   Chubsquared thoughts : This was really delicious with the right amount of crunch from the breaded asparagus which complemented the nicely moist toast. Hollandaise sauc...
