There are altogether 5 special design for this Spring inspired collection of 2015. We started with the LAVENDER BUZZ which is a Rich chocolate fudge cake with Earl Grey mousse, lavender creme, luscious berries & pink meringue kisses. 

The combination of the soft moist chocolaty cakes was well matched with the smooth mousse with a tinge of sourish taste from the berries was heavenly paired with a latte.

This is then followed by the YELLOW SHOWER - As the spring winds bring gentle showers of flowers & soft scents of new life, it set the tone for this next dessert. 

The Soft buttery turmeric flavored cake with custard cream speckled with plump raisins & walnuts. in between each layer of the cakes gives a soft, moist and firm texture to every bite of this cake.

The next is the COCONUT BLITZ - A Coconut blended taste that gently assaults the senses, epitomises the breaking the of the cold winter with promises of warmer days to come is the inspiration for this next dessert. 

The composition of the soft and silky salted coconut pana cotta with a caffe filling blended in between and teamed with spicy berry compote & rice crispy wafers gives a refreshing and crunchy feel. 

the fourth dessert is the SAKURA WIND - Spring comes calling in a gentle blending of soft cherry blossom mousse with tart morello cherries & fragrant green tea chiffon.

The macha based cakes was of the right balance without being overwhelming. Coupled with the soft cherry mousse it gives a zesty flavours to the cake. 

and the final dessert of the Spring Collection is the PANDAN LUXE - The scent of Pandan always brings to mind a green  awakening. The Pandan cheese mousse with coconut cream was very smooth with sprinkle of salted gula merah; with coulis mango jelly & peanut crumble offering a soft, smooth and crunchy perspective to this dessert.

One thing I enjoyed most of the desserts offering at the NOSH; is that the sweetness level is very balance which is good; while the cakes are moist and soft with the right texture, aroma and taste that tantalize your tastebuds.

Doiffee Café @Taman Desa, Old Klang Road – Delicious Gourmet Coffee and Thai Inspired Food Review

Doiffee Café @Taman Desa located at 10A, Jalan Desa Jaya, Taman Desa, Old Klang Road Kuala Lumpur is a distinctive new café that is serving up gourmet coffee and Thai inspired food serving in the neighbourhood of Taman Desa, which does not have many such cafe in this area and Old Klang Road.

The café is decorated as a homely décor that exudes a charming setting. All the tables and chairs are different unlike other restaurants, which have standard furniture throughout the café, as it allows the customer the option of having to seat comfortably like at home.

So, what does Doiffee means? Doi in Thai means mountain - Doiffee Café literally means Mountain Coffee Café as coffee is usually grown on mountains quoted by the owner. 

At Doiffee Café @Taman Desa, the coffee serves here are of a few roast type, with bean supplies coming from France i.e.Malongo – specially for the espresso, Singapore Highlander and the Caribbean Cuban.

For a start, we had the POPCORN COFFEE. Although the coffee was of a mild and light taste, the popcorn flavoured infused taste and aroma of the popcorn was strong and flavourful. Fans of popcorn would love this drink.

Next, we had the Iced Latte, it was a light shot of coffee with smooth blended snow ice. At Doiffee Café @Taman Desa, they have a special ice shaving machine that can churn out smooth and fine snow ice.

After that, we had the Hot Chocolate which was from France. It has a distinctive and strong chocolaty taste and aroma. It is a comforting hot drink to warm oneself especially cold weather night, more so for us that night as it was raining cats and dogs while we were leisurely enjoying our cuppa of hot chocolate. 

For me, this was followed by the star of the night, which is the AFFOGATO. The affogato was of the French roast which has a double shot of espresso, it was very strong and you can taste the kick of it while it was a nice pairing with the smooth gelato from KAPITI. The sweetness of the vanilla gelato from New Zealand was blended well with every scoop of the espresso mix with it. 

We start off our dinner with a special Thai Salad i.e. PAPAYA SALAD, it tasted like vinaigrette papaya with a strong dash of chilli padi. The papaya was still has the crunch which is nice and was a good starter to whet your appetite.

This was followed by the MANGO SALAD, the mango was of the Japanese Lilly Mango and tasted very refreshing minus out the sourishness in other mango type. Coupled with the onion and chilli padi in the dressing, it was a tad more spicy for most people. We like the roasted peanuts toppings as the crunch add an interesting dimension to the salad.

When the SUMMER SALAD was brought to the table, our eyes were feasted as the salad was very well decorated with brimming fresh garden lettuce at the bottom, and was topped with alfalfa, pomegranates, cherries tomatoes, capsicum, and carrots. 

There are 2 home made dressing for this salad i.e. Refreshing Dressing which we had and Oriental Dressing which is unique and might need to get use to it to enjoy this salad.

Our first main dish of the night is DRUNKEN SEAFOOD SPAGHETTI; it is one of the specialties serves here. The generous topping of scallop, prawns and squids makes this dish super yummy for seafood lovers like me as each spoonful of spaghetti is accompanied with one of the fresh and chewy seafood pieces. 

The sauce is infused with some red wine, peppercorn with a strong aroma of the basil and fragrant that makes eating this dish very tantalizing.

The next dish is the KERABU MINCED CHICKEN SPAGHETTI – as we were used to eating pasta with a lot of sauces, this dish was a little surprise, i.e. a little dry. It looks quite plain as it is, it tasted very much like a dry noodles that we had but the taste of the minced chicken meat was cooked with mint, basil and with some spices, which made it interesting.

For dessert, we had the MANGO STICKY RICE which is a very popular Thai style dessert. The glutinous rice was very flavourful eaten as it is. Most shop that I had this dessert, the glutinous rice is usually quite bland and starchy. Although the santan that came with the dessert was a bit too little, it was very flavourful nevertheless and was ideal for the mix of the rice, santan and the sweet ripen mango.

Lastly, we had the very picturesque KOI FISH JELLY, this KOI FISH Jelly based is the perfect mixture of coffee taste into the jelly, while the darker colored was with extra doses of coffee, which was very fragrant when eaten. 

Doiffee Café@Taman Desa, also serves the emerald pandan egg santan jelly which has a strong pandan flavoured taste.

The night ended with another cuppa we had, it was the CAPUCHINO, a bit light for me though but a splendid end to a night out with my fellow bloggers on the Café Hopping Malaysia project.

At Doiffee Café@Taman Desa, you can choose to relax in the ambience of home like, while sipping your favourite drinks in this part of town with your family and friends. The food serves at Doiffee Café@Taman Desa is quite interesting as it is presented to diners. Like the saying goes, we eat with our eyes first.

COEN Cafe@Pavilion - New Cafe That Serves Scandinavian Food and Gourmet Coffee Review

There are not many restaurant that serve Scandinavian food in Kuala Lumpur, I had the honoured to review the newly opened COEN Cafe @Pavilion which is located a Lot 2.65.00, 2.67.00 & 2.74.00, Level 2, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, No. 168, Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur.

COEN CAFE@Pavilion offers a modern contemporary interior featuring clean aesthetics design combined with natural and raw materials such as wood and steel.

One will notice while dining at COEN CAFE@Pavilion, are their custom-made chairs which are functional in design yet comfortable.

After our sumptuous dinner at the Taste Enclave Classic@Pavilion, we had the Swedish Seafood Cake, which is a very unique dish in that it is made out of six layers of alternating bread and a seafood mix of salmon, shrimp, eggs and mayonnaise.

It is then top with a generous amount of Deshell Prawns and Smoked Salmon. The sides are lined with slices of cucumber and lemon to add to a refreshing taste. Gently squeeze out the lemon juice as you cut out the section, and the blended zesty lemon juice will enhance the overall flavours of the mixed mayonnaise sauce.

This Swedish Seafood Cake is served chilled.

Next, we had the Affogato, the blend of double shot Espresso (Brazilian, Ethiopian  and Sumatran beans) was an in-house developed blend.

It was of a bitter taste on your first sip, while the flavours lingers around your mouth and stay smooth in your throat with the fresh coffee aroma, was indeed delicious. Coupled with the silky smooth vanilla ice cream, every spoonful was a mixture of the all the natural sweetness and flavours of the coffee.

For those who loves to listen to some light numbers after a nice meal, COEN CAFE@Pavilion has a resident artist that performs 'Live' and belts out some of the favourite tune to wind you down after a long day.
