At La Figue Cafe Bakery Restaurant; one of its key offerings is that food must be served in a jiffy especially for lunch customers where time is limited. For those that have the time, you can sit in; to enjoy the colonial setting that this cafe offers.

At La Figue Cafe Bakery Restaurant, it is a 2 in one cafe where freshly baked pastries are offered to its customers.

Each of these pastries is baked in small quantity and only when it is finished, a new batch will go into the oven; this is to ensure customers will not have to live with stale pastry and wastages.

We started our review with a hearty Big Breakfast Set (RM13.90). Customers have the option to choose either the Chicken Ham or Beef Bacon. The set comes with sauteed mushroom, scrambled eggs, a piece of hash brown, sausage, baked beans and a piece of toast. For any order of the breakfast set, it is served with either a cup of tea or coffee.

Next, we tried out some of the Lunch Set promotion; the first of which is the Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM13.90).  The Chicken chop is fried to a nice brown crisp and is served with baked potatoes, carrots, and green beans. Customers have a choice of whether to have their Hainanese sauce served separately or as a topped on to the Chicken Chop.

For fans of creamy carbonara, this second Lunch Set which is the Spaghetti Carbonara With Chicken Ham (RM14.90) will surely be your choice.

The next dish is suitable for a vegan or non-meat eater as the spaghetti is cooked Aglio Olio and topped with a sauteed mushroom sauce with a Fried Tofu. The tofu steak is lightly coated with a special batter and then lightly fried to give you a nice bite texture. This dish is called Spaghetti Aglio Olio With Tofu Steak (RM13.90).

the last lunch set, we had; is the Fish and Chip Set (RM13.90). Kids will normally like this as it is very easy to eat and the dish is served with French Fries and coleslaw. For all the set lunch orders; for an additional of RM1.00 customer get to order a Honey Lemon, Lemon Tea, Lime Juice or  Sirap Bandung.

We then moved on to taste 3 more dishes from the La Figue Cafe Bakery Restaurant menu; the first of which is the Chicken Chop With Mushroom Sauce (RM14.90). This is quite similar to the Hainanese Chicken Chop except that the sauce is the Mushroom sauce and the sides are the fried potatoes wedges.

followed by the Chicken Parmigiana (RM14.90). The fried boneless chicken thigh is topped with a melted cheese and served with French Fries and Salads.

the last dish from the main menu that we had is the Chicken Picatta (RM13.90). We really like the savory capers sauce that came with the grilled chicken breast. This chicken dish is served with mash potatoes with a nice brown sauce. Perfectly complimented to the chicken meat.

At La Figue Cafe Bakery Restaurant, there also serves an array of Pizza which has a thin crust base that gives a crunchy bite. The first Pizza we tasted is the Margarita Pizza (RM12.90), which is topped with tomatoes, basil, and cheese.

Next, we had the Hawaiian Pizza (RM13.90). Comprising of small chunks of chicken meat with pineapples and a generous amount of cheese topping.

The last Pizza is the Okonomi Pizza (RM13.90), this is a fusion pizza which is married to a Japanese influence that uses a mayonnaise-based with a topping of Bonito flakes.

Overall we find the La Figue Cafe Bakery Restaurant offering a wide variety of popular Western fares in a nice cozy environment without burning a big hole in your wallet.

HotPot Kitchen Address

Normally when you order your food; the portion of meat and the type of vegetables are determined by the shop but here at Hot Pot Kitchen 1Utama, you can hand picked the quantity and the type of vegetables and meats that suit your palate and stomach.

With this new concept, you do not need to eat those vegetables or meats that you do not like as you can pick only those that you would consume.

Vegetables Selection

Our Selection of Vegetables

Eating at Hot Pot Kitchen is simple; first, you select the vegetable option which ranges from fresh Sawi, Kailan, Beancurd skins, the mushroom of various types from the open top fridge (note: the vegetables are on a rotational basis). Select the type and quantity that you can consume. The price is at RM 3.99 per 100g regardless what the combination of vegetables.

Meat Selection

Our Meat Selection

After that, you can select the type of meats and the in-house made "Yeong Liu" from the next section in a separate bowl. The price for the meat section is at RM 5.99 per 100g regardless what you take i.e. pork belly, beef, prawns and etc.

After that proceed to the counter for a weighing of the selected meat and vegetables. Inform the waiter on your choice of sauce which there is only 2 type which is the natural flavor (non-Spicy) and the Ma Lat (Spicy one which comes with 3 spicy levels). 

Hot Pot Kitchen practices self-service, so there are no service charges that are levied on your total bill. Once your dishes are cooked you will need to pick up your meals at the counter.

Our first choice; Natural Flavours. This is great for those that does not like any doses of spiciness, Suitable for children and older folks. Perfect with a bowl of white rice. But there are options to eat it with noodles too.

Our next dish is the Ma Lat Spicy Flavours (Level 2). We really like this, as it is cooked with an in-house made Ma Lat sauce that has been fined tuned to the local taste, Again, a real treat with a bowl of steaming white rice as the sauce has a balanced kick of spiciness coupled with the crunchy fried peanuts that are used to cooked this dish.

The next dish is set to be introduced as a standard item from the menu is the Fried Spicy Lala. Again you can order this when available based on your spicy level. We like this too as it has a penchant strong taste that is wrapped around the clams and makes each bite, a spicy affair.

According to the owners, all the meat and vegetables goes thru an ozone sterilization process before being served. This ensures that pesticide and antibiotics are removed from the meat and vegetables. That is why they can claim that there are No Pesticide, No Antibiotics, and No Hormones.

At HotPot Kitchen One Utama, there is a free flow of Coffee from the coffee vending machines; that patrons can help themselves on; which is a great combination to tone down your taste-bud after the spicy meal.

To lower your spicy effect, HotPot Kitchen serves Hung Fook Tong herbal tea range from Hong Kong. If you are a fan of TVB drama, you would probably have noticed this brand during some of this drama.

Overall, we like the concept of picking what you want and the taste offering especially the Ma Lat spicy option sauce by HotPot Kitchen 1Utama was our favourite.

HotPot Kitchen has just opened a new branch at Sunway Pyramid.
