Dotty's Pastries & Coffee @ KLCC

-
  Known for their salted egg yolk cronuts, Dotty's has recently opened a new outlet in KLCC. They have two outlets in Bangsar and one in TTDI, which is the one that I always go to. Seeing that I was really in a sweet tooth mood, I dropped by their new outlet recently and also tried a few dishes that I've not tried before.
Interiors are similar to the other outlets. 
 We ordered their Eggs Benedict with Soft Shell Crab (RM28). Compared to few other cafes that I've been to with similar price range, their egg-ben is relatively smaller. Frankly speaking, I was quite disappointed with the presentation and it's definitely the least appealing egg ben dish I've had. Hollandaise sauce was barely enough which made the whole dish really drying as you can see. 
  We were there around 11am and was told that the pastries will only be ready by 12pm. I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind waiting but honestly, the preparation speed is just really slow. I ordered their Tuna Melt (RM19) for us to munch on while waiting for the time to past. Fries were nicely done but were too salty. Overall a mediocre dish that I will suggest you to skip.
  Once again, we ordered their Peanut Butter Loaf just for the sake of having something to munch on. This was surprisingly good and the ice-cream really did help to create a good balance, making it not too cloying. The chocolate cake is really rich and it has a dense and firm texture. 
  When the pastries were slowly displayed out one by one, we patiently waited till we got sight of the cronuts! Time past and there were no sign of the cronuts and we were then told that their cronut machines are not working that day. I had no words.
  So, we had the Salted Egg Yolk Croissant. I personally prefer this because I find cronuts very oily. Dotty's is also known to have some of the best croissants in town and I second that. 
The Speculoos croissant was everyone's favourite. Topped with Biscoff biscuits, this croissant is generously filled with Speculoos filling. Caramel-y, cinnamon-y and yummy. Take my advice and don't skip this when you're here! 
Topped with icing sugars and filled with vanilla filling that came oozing out the moment we cut it, the Creme Brûlée donut was another favourite of mine. My favourite part is definitely the crisp top. 

OVERALL VERDICT

Food: 7.5/10 (pastries) 4/10 (main dishes) 

Price: 6/10

Service: It was really slow and we could tell that they were low on staffs but I understand that they are still new so I closed one eye on that.

Would I Return?: I think I'll pass the main dishes and only order pastries during my next visit.

    It would not be wrong to justify the fact that such a blog enhanced with very potential information about health.
    Apparently, I would like to give an overview of my company. We are KOBEYa, the café and retail store, which has a unique concept that brings joy to gluten free healthy eating.
    Our aim is to serve healthy food that caters to a variety of tastes. As our name suggests, our menu features Kobe Beef, known famously around the world for being the highest quality and healthy red meat.

Is Eating Suki-Ya As A Vegetarian Worth It?

-

EAT WHAT LEH?  Last month, my friend and I went to Suki-ya for lunch. As you know, the best part about Shabu-Shabu is the free flow of meats. We planned this in January, before I went on my meat-less diet. I didn't want to cancel the lunch as it was my treat for my friend's birthday and we had been waiting for it for months. As the days got nearer to our lunch date, I thought to myself "What exactly am I going to eat? Will it still be worth the money if I don't eat the meats?". We went there on a Friday afternoon and it was really crowded and if not mistaken, there weren't any empty tables. I did called a week before to make reservations but they said that they only allow walk-ins now.      If you're unfamiliar with Suki-Ya, it is a Japanese restaurant. They have ala carte dishes but people mainly go for their all you can eat buffet. There's the buffet bar that has a good selection of items for your hot pots, a variety of sushi, dippin

Newly Opened Starbucks Reserve @ Four Seasons Place, KLCC!

Another Starbucks Reserve has recently opened in Kuala Lumpur and this time it is at Four Seasons Place. I'm not a regular at Starbucks so I didn't know that Starbucks Reserve was already around. Seeing that I was just nearby, I thought I would drop by to take a look and see how it differs from the ordinary Starbucks outlets. They kept the interior minimal and only has a statement decoration which is the lighting fixtures, that gives the whole space a modern yet sophisticated look. Below, is the coffee making space for the reserved bean's drinks. Right across is the normal ordering counter, cake displays, merchandise etc. I love this part of the cafe the most. Really love the dark grey walls that is decorated with copper decorations. I talked to one of the barista there and she told me that the ones that will be brewing the "Reserve" drinks are actual coffee masters. Pick the type of beans you want and the brewing method! They also hav

EAT WHAT LEH?   I've recently started becoming a vegetarian (literally 6 days ago) and no, it's not because of religious reasons. I'm not sure how long will I be vegetarian for but I would definitely try to stick to it as long as I can. Becoming a vegetarian is not a problem for me because I personally don't really fancy meats. The only problem is when it comes to eating outside. I had been on the internet so much recently, searching for vegetarian restaurants near me and I managed to come across few blogposts that really did helped a lot! This is also one of the reason why I am starting a blog. To help people to search for places to eat! So if you found this post, Ola! Allyna to the rescue! smirks    I went for a casting at The Vertical (opposite Bangsar South) and decided to go for a quick lunch as there were around 10 people before me. There were many restaurants at Bangsar South but now that I'm a vegetarian, I thought why not give Beyond Veggie a try
