D'Lee Deli Casa Tropicana - A little cafe in Tropicana for dessert review by Best Restaurant.

As mention in my earlier post that Cafe are sprouting out in Klang Valley and Best Restaurant To Eat was invited to this preview of D'Lee Deli Cafe located at B08, Ground Floor, Casa Tropicana, Persiaran Tropicana, Petaling Jaya.

The setting at DLee Deli @ Casa Tropicana is one of a casual setting, which offers patron a nice place to hang out especially if you have a love affair with sweet stuff or after meal desserts.

DLee Deli @ Casa Tropicana main offering are targeted to younger crowds which loves to have smaller meals. Their food offering are mainly sandwiches and waffles while drinks like coffees and some specialty Cider based drinks are also available; more of this later.

Our first sandwich dish is the Soft Shell Sandwich with Wasabi Aioli; all the the sandwiches at DLee Deli are tri-tip panini bread served with salad and oven baked potatoes. The combination is one that gives you the slight pungent wasabi mayo taste that blended with the fried soft shell.

follow the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. 

and the last sandwich is the Cream Button Mushroom and Ham Sandwich; this was the night favorite sandwich as the mushroom which was thinly sliced and cooked in the sauce was just the perfect offering with the panini bread.

Next, we moved on to the Waffles; the first of which is the Blueberry Waffles; it was served with Vanilla ice cream and with Milk chocolate sauce. If you love blue berries you got to try this. The chocolate flavoured waffles was just nice eaten with the blueberries and topped with the in-house soft serve Vanilla ice cream.

This is then followed by the Strawberry Waffles with Vanilla IceCream; if blue berries is not your cup of tea, you can opt for the Strawberries instead. At D'Lee Deli, you can choose your favorite sauce to go with your waffles. In this case, this one is topped with Salted Caramel, which gives the overall waffles a different taste of sweet (from the icecream), sour(strawberries) and salty(the salted caramel sauce), all in one.

and end with the Banana Waffles with Green tea ice cream. The bananas are first caramelized and served with the Waffles, I find this just ok; compared with the blue berries and strawberries waffles that we had earlier.

We then move on to try a few of the special desserts which the first is the Apple Crumble Pie with soft Serve ice cream. I love this, the sweetness level was just right and the crunch of the pie was a perfect balance of sweetness and savory.

followed by a Blondies with soft serve ice-cream; which is similar to a brownies but made from white chocolates. A few of us liked this very much although it was a little sweeter as it was layered with butter scotch sauce.

As mention earlier; DLee Deli @Casa Tropicana offers a range of Premium Cider based Alcoholic drink which is the Kopparberg Cider which has Pear, Strawberry and Lime, Elderflower & Lime, Mixed Fruits and Naked Apple in its flavour range.

To end the night, we had the Affogato which is not too bad; as the ice cream was very smooth and although the espresso was not that strong, it was ok as the cost for this was only RM10.00 for a shot.

DLee Deli @ Casa Tropicana is experimenting to launch a new Waffles Big Breakfast set; pictured above. If you game for it, you can ask whether they have it; on their menu the next time you pay them a visit.

Caffeinated Cafe@ Puchong IOI Boulevard - Sipping Specialties Coffee With Caffeine Infused Dishes Review By Best Restaurant

Specialties coffee outlet are sprouting out in great numbers these days. More and more people are in love with these coffee and Best Restaurant To Eat was invited to preview Caffeinated @ Puchong IOI Boulevard located at C-GF-43, Ground Floor IOI Boulevard, Jalan Kenari 5, Bandar Puchong Jaya 47170 Puchong Selangor.

The decor at Caffeinated Cafe @ Puchong IOI Boulevard is one of a no frill modern neighbourhood cafe setting.

Since it is located in the IOI Boulevard covered foyer, you can also dine al-fresco minus the natural element like rain, flume and dust usually associated with other outdoor dining place.

The coffee blend serves at Caffeinated Cafe @ Puchong IOI Boulevard comes from Brazil, Columbia, Sumatra and Mexico.

What differentiate Caffeinated Cafe @ Puchong IOI Boulevard is that; it gives coffee a new twist with a different concoction like adding and mixing liquor to the coffee. A unique and new way to savour coffee.

The question is whether you are gamed for it. The first coffee that was served to us is the Martini Espresso. It is concocted with a blend of ice-shaken concoction of KahLua, Vodka, Espresso.

Next, we had the Bailey's Tiramisu; a concoction of mascarpone cheese, fresh milk, espresso with Baileys' Irish Cream. We usually eat Tiramisu cake with our favorite coffee, but this drinks bring forth an exquisite Tiramisu taste in a drink mix with espresso much like the taste of having a coffee after a bite of the Tiramisu cake with a light liqour taste.

This is then followed by Lemon Grass Heineken; A very refreshing and cooling drink from the use of the Lemon Grass. It tasted a little stronger than Shandy as the amount of beer used in this drink is much higher proportion and the aroma and taste of the fresh lemon grass gives it a special twist.

Another unique drink serves here is the Orange Black; which is a combination of Orange juice and espresso.

After which is the Dark Chocolate Float; which has a strong flavour of Chocolate taste which blended very well with the Kapiti ice cream. The decor of it was very interesting too from the use of the Oreo biscuit (for the ear) and coffee bean(for the eyes) to decorate it to resemble; an Android.

Last of the drink is the Affogato; The espresso was just right and blended with the smooth Pohutukawa Honey Kapiti Ice cream to gives it a slightly sweeter taste to the Espresso.

We were then served with some specialty food serves at Caffeinated Cafe @ Puchong IOI Boulevard which; the first was the Carbonara with Mushroom. The generous portion of the mushroom used were the shimeiji, shitake and button mushroom.

 The heavy cream sauce with egg yolk, onion garlic, basil and white wine was thick and this makes the dish very rich in flavours as the taste of the mushroom and Parmesan cheese was ingrained into each strip of spaghetti.

This is then followed by the Mushroom Pizza which was served with a thin crust; The right balance of sauce base used and the timing of the baking was nice as you can taste the crisp while still enjoying the simple mushroom flavours topping.

Another crowd favourite at Caffeinated is the under the Breakfast Menu which is the Mushroom With White Sauce.

The mushroom white sauce are best eaten with the accompaniment of the crunchy muesli toast. 

Next, we were served the specially created espresso infused dish which is Coffee Pomodoro with Smoked Duck. The pasta was cooked with minced chicken on a tomato Pomodoro sauce and before panning it out;  a single shot of espresso was added to the pasta to gives it a special caffeine flavour. 

This dish has its uniqueness in that you either like it or hate it as the strong espresso flavours can be a turn off especially for light coffee drinker.

The next dish is the German Sausage Baguette; the use of the meatier and crunchy premium Thuringer German sausage stand out on this dish. With a sesame dressing and cheddar cheese garnished with cucumber, red and green coral on a wasabi mayo dressing to top it off with a wholemeal baguette.

At Caffeinated Cafe, dinner comes special with a sharing platter called the UNDER THE SEA platter. It is a platter that consist of seafood with premium sausages.

A scrumptious platter with juicy seafood i.e. Dory fish, squid and prawns together with Foot-long, German sausage and Spicy French sausage, Aglio Olio spaghetti, fries, grilled sweet corn, tomato, sesame dressing salad and crispy nachos for extra bites.

For coffee lovers, at Caffeinated Cafe @ Puchong IOI Boulevard, you can get to savour coffee in a different light where you can experience and taste coffee like never before. You can check out their Caffeinated Cafe facebook page here.
