Good day Bunnies! 

Well, I was craving for coffee for a while now and I was asking my sister if she wants to chill at a cafe. She loves doing her work in a cafe because she can't concentrate at home. So, that was definitely a good timing to visit a cafe on a Saturday noon. 

Just like the name of the cafe, Nuan (暖 - warm) is meant to be a local community space that serves Sungai Buloh, complete with corners where families and friends can come together. It was such a bump that we didn't know that they didn't provide free wifi, so it might not be a great place if you want to do your work here.

The cafe was bright and vibrant. While it is new, it seems to be the go-to neighbourhood cafe in the area, as people kept coming in throughout our time there. 

The cafe is complemented by two-storey-high bookshelves brimming with memoirs and mystery novels, plus a play section for children. 

The small corner filled with books and toys for the little ones.

 Combination of cement, wood and metal furnishings in the setting, sunlight from the windows basks the space and extra touches of greenery, which create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Other than the Instagramable two-storey-high bookshelves and the yellow glass panel door and windows, the minimalist setting and the reasonably priced food list are bound to lure the faithful followers.

Lu Rou Fan (RM9)

Lu Rou Fan was one of the must order and delicious dish there. It was both delicious and cheap, which make a lot of people love it. The braised pork meat is well seasoned and cooked, with the flavorful gravy to it which worked well with providing the rice with the much-needed wetness. The egg is cooked almost well done, just like the Japanes soft boiled egg, instead of the watery half boiled or hard boiled egg.

Otak-Otak Egg Don (RM16.00)

Blanketed with omelet, the rice was layered with Otak-Otak (spiced ground fish meat) and generously drizzled with sweet savoury sauce. Portion was big and it offered a home-cooked comfort food taste one can ask for. Love this dish so much even tho the otak otak is quite spicy but it tastes so good!

Yaki Japanese Curry (RM18)

The Japanese curry is pretty good and it is really hard to say no to cheese. But it is a little salty to my liking and the portion is rather huge. Curry is not spicy as expected but super flavourful. If you love Japanese curry and pretty salty over sweet, this might be your choice.

 

Matcha Rose Latte (RM13)

Black Ice (RM8)

Americano (RM7)

Coffee is good, with a little acidic taste. 

Matcha is great too, not too sweet, but would definitely prefer it to be a little thicker.

BTW, love the art work tho.

Verdict: Lovely environment, good food, warm service and affordable price range are what you can expect to find here. Braised pork rice (Lu Rou Fan) and their special drinks (Piccolo Gula Melaka) is another must try here, I certainly wouldn’t say no to make a return to try it out! 

Thanks for reading.

For more info,

Thursdvys or Thursday? That is definitely not a typo and the café is really called Thursdvys. 

The place is very chill and I love how every corner is Instagram-worthy.

It was a fine Sunday and I was out to meet my friends. One of them suggested this place and I am surprised that I have not visited the area even when I am staying so near.

The cafe is self-service, where we have to order at the counter and then the employee will serve the food right to your table.

Sambal Pasta (RM28)

This is like the combination of Malaysian and Western. I believe that you will never find such combination, where sambal is used as the sauce for pasta in other places than Malaysia. Surprisingly, it is pretty good, and the combination doesn't feel weird at all.

Mucon Carbonara (RM28)

Spaghetti in creamy egg-based sauce, sauteed mushroom and chicken (some of my friends can't eat beef so we changed it to chicken). This is really good too! The sauce is very creamy and tasty. It can be a bit too much if you finish the whole bowl but since friends and I shared this, it doesn't feel that jelak. 

Herb Parmesan Crust Mac and Cheese (RM25)

Macaroni in creamy rich sharp cheddar, mozzarella and Montago Jack cheese.

At first, we thought that the waiter got our order wrongly cause we don't remember ordering something like this until they clarified that this is the mac and cheese. HAHA.

This is definitely my first time seeing mac and cheese in this form and I must say that this is definitely worth the order! The outer is so crispy and soft inside. Doesn't taste too cheesy at all when eating alone and definitely matched very well with their homemade tomato sauce.

Pizza

Ham, pineapple, olive and cheese in the pizza. This dish doesn't taste special but it is indeed a tasty Hawaiian pizza.

Overall, foods are pretty good and it is a great hangout place to chill. Love how they designed the cafe, which defo attracted a lot of people here (one of the reasons why I am here too. HAHA). 

You can check out their Instagram for more picture inspo tho ;).

Love,

Few days ago, I was invited to a food tasting at Naughty Nuri's. When I heard that I will be tasting their new menu, I immediately said yes to it because I love their food! Still remember when I first visited Naughty Nuri was when I am still in Melbourne. Back then, I thought that I can only have their Signature BBQ ribs in Mel, and I am so happy to find out that they have actually opened a few outlets in Malaysia!

Known for its mouthwatering Balinese style pork ribs, Naughty Nuri has come out a new menu of 9 different dishes. I have visited the outlet in Atria Mall to have the food tasting session with the other bloggers and influencers. They always have these cute piggies in front of the store and it has become one of their signatures. Anyway, here is me standing awkwardly in front of the store. HAHA.

During our food tasting, Naughty Nuri has found their first Ribs Master! The challenge was started back in early September and the fastest participant who finished his BBQ ribs is able to win himself a year worth of FREE ribs! It was their final showdown that day with their Top4 finalists and I must say that the competition was very intense. Anyway, congratulation to the winner, Troy Thistleton, who finished the Ribs in just 2 minutes and 37 seconds! Impressive, huh? 

GG Fizz Jug (RM26)

Before the food is served, we got these carbonated grapes drink. It tastes just right, not too sweet or too bland at the beginning. But it can go a little dilute when the ice melted.

Signature Vegetarian Salad (RM23)

The first dish that is served is this vegetarian salad. It is a plate of mixed vege with lettuce, carrot, and capsicum. I am loving the salad dressing as it is very appetizing and delicious. I feel really healthy after eating this tho. HAHA.

Indonesian Style Mee Goreng Basah (RM25)

The Indonesian style mee goreng tasted like a sweetened version of your mamak mee goreng. To be honest, it doesn't suit my taste bud because I still prefer the savory or spicy version of mee goreng. But the roast pork is really crispy and nice. Not even kidding that I might order this again cause of their xiu yuk. LOL.

Grilled Iberico Skewers (S: RM20, L: RM30)

The pork skewers are so fattening!! It is well seasoned and cooked but there is only like 30% of meat and the other 70% are all fats. It is indeed a high calorie and fattening food.

Pork Belly Bakar *Merah* (RM18)

Love love love this one. The pork belly is seasoned with the red hot sauce and I must say that they match so well! For extra spiciness, you can dip the pork belly into the sauce for a more syok sensation. 

Signature Balinese ‘Sop Tulang’ (RM24.80)

The soup is indeed very flavorful and the meat is cooked until very soft and tender. Really love both of the broth and meat. This is probably one of my favourite dishes. 

Balinese Inspired Ayam Bakar (Half: RM18, Whole: RM25)

This ayam bakar leave me a good impression. Look at how well the chicken is baked! The skin is in a perfect golden brown condition and it is really flavorful. It doesn't taste dry even on the breast part. But I must say that the wing part is kind of overcooked for some reasons, which make it really hard. The mashed potato, in fact, matches really well with the chicken and it is really delicious. 

Naughty Nuri’s Signature Flaming Iberico Ribs (RM49)

Here finally comes to their signature MUST-have pork ribs! Dipped in their homemade sauce and flamed to perfection, the meat is incredibly juicy and tender. The sauce is slightly sticky, but delightful in sweet taste, and the meat is so soft that gives a pleasant bite. Due to the burning flame, it makes the ribs to have a hint of smoky burnt, which is not too bad.

Sizzling Bacon Chocolate Cake (RM22)

Last but not least, how can we forget about the dessert? This is my first time having this kind of dessert and I was so excited to try it out. The bacon chocolate cake is topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with some melted chocolate on a sizzling lava plate. Surprisingly, the bacon blended so well with it can be a bit sweet for those who don't have sweet tooth but I really love it.

I feel that Naughty Nuri's is a great choice when it comes to pork ribs and those who are pork lovers. It is indeed one of the restaurants you might not want to miss if you are craving for some Balinese kind of cuisine. The environment is very nice and the staffs are really friendly. For the service, I hope that it can get a little better because I feel that there might be short of staff due to the competition that is going on that night. Overall, it is not too bad.

Atria Shopping Gallery (G.25, Jalan SS 22/23, DJ)

Opening hours: Daily 11am - 11pm

Common Man Coffee Roaster is a café, offering great coffee and a full menu of brunch up to dinner in TTDI. I have always passed by the place but never get to visit it until recently when my friends asked for a brunch meetup. 

Walked in the door, their little entrance indeed leads me to their huge space and impressive design of a nice waiting area. 

While on the right-hand side, they have their merchandise nicely displayed on the racks. Merchandises such as coffee beans, coffee beans grinders, coffee brewing equipment as well as T-shirts are sold there.

I was pretty surprised by how spacious it is, as the place looked small and tiny outside. In fact, the cafe is one of those hipster cafes where every corner of the café is insta-worthy. 

Common Man Coffee Roaster is known for its all-day brunch menu, such as  Common Man Full Breakfast, Egg Benedict, Brioche French Toast, Croissant Croque Monsieur and etc, and of course their coffee. They also serve lunch from 11.00am to 5.30pm with quite limited choices of salads, pasta, burger and sandwich.

Common Man Full Breakfast (Rm 39)

Comes with two free-range organic eggs in any style, streaky beef, smoked chicken sausage, confit herbed tomato, vegetable rosti, minted sour cream, wild mushroom, with honey-rye or multigrain bread. 

We had our egg in scramble style, and everything is pretty delicious. The portion is not too huge, but definitely good enough for one. Thus, I think it is kind of overpriced for that serving.

Common Man Burger (RM43)

House-made bone marrow beef patties, provolone, sweet onion, aioli, crisp lettuce, and house-made pickle on fluffy brioche bun, served with fries. 

I think we had our beef patties replaced with chicken patties because I have friends who can't eat beef and we feel like trying their burger. The patty is well seasoned and nothing much on the bad side. But I am not sure if we paid the same price as the beef patties. Hmm...

Spiced Chicken Mac and Cheese (RM 26)

Served with crispy pita chips.

I really love this dish because of the generous amount of chicken ham and cheese! It doesn't feel jelak at all because of the spice, yet it is not too spicy. Definitely, recommend this for cheese lovers.

Common Man Fluffy Pancake (RM29)

Served with caramalised bananas and walnuts, salted caramel sauce, nutty crumble and berry coulis. 

After a full breakfast of savory choices, we ordered something sweet to fix our (my) sweet tooth. HAHA. They were indeed fluffy and moderately sweet, which I love. 

Cappucino (RM15)

Coffee here is superb! It taste really good, with a very nice slight acidic taste. If you are more daring/ wanna try something new, you can have their UNcommon coffee, which is in the menu, but you have to ask the waitress cause it is always defferent.

Overall, I feel that Common Man Coffee Roaster is a great place to hang up with friends, as they serve really good coffee and brunch. But the prices of the food are on the higher side. :)

It it is located below AnyTime Fitness. In case you can't find the entrance, you will never miss out the huge fitness sign board. LOL.
