Dome Cafe @ Ikano Power Centre, Mutiara Damansara

Dome has been one of Jenn's favourite places to eat breakfast whenever we go to shopping malls. Back in those days when we were still friends, I used to bring her here for meals, be it breakfast or lunch. I still remember how she loved to eat the beef pie over a cup of hot cappucino. Well, at that time we were still in the courting process mah.. so have to impress her with my sincerity by knowing what she likes and dislikes.

I gotta admit, she was more of a morning person compared to me in the past. If not for her, I would still wake up after 10am on my off days... gone were those clubbing days where I only got back home after 2-3am! (OK honey... if you are reading this, I still went out once a week on weekdays with Andrew!). But when my only clubbing kaki got married and moved back to Sibu, I learned to wake up early in the morning gradually. Eh... off track! Got carried away with the past! hahahah... Back to my post...

We like the settings for Dome Cafe - organised, spacious (as in not cramped) and comfy.

With a lot of choices for its food and beverages... breakfast sets, sandwiches, oriental cuisine, pasta, etc

I had the warm smoked duck breast salad which is served on a bed of mixed salad and lettuce, accompanied by pine nuts, croutons and beetroot vinaigrette. Simply fresh with the aroma of smoked duck breast! Gotta love it... the veggie was fresh and crunchy too!

Chicken, cheese & avocado - pesto chicken, avocado, cheese and sweet chilly mayonnaise, with a side of tomato chutney and wedges.

Chicken ham & cheese croissant - the chicken ham was sandwiched together with premium cheddar cheese in a toasted croissant. Simple yet delightful to eat.

A cup of cappucino

and Latte...

Leo's verdict - this is definitely the PLACE for Jenn & I to stop by for breakfast or lunch whenever we have time... or simply to sit down for a cuppa coffee while reading the free newspapers and magazines provided. Quite memorable huh???

Kluang Station @ Ikano Power Centre, Mutiara Damansara

OK... so this place has been around for a very long time. With branches in 1Utama, Desa Parkcity, etc... this kopitiam from Kluang (duh!) is one of the popular hangouts among kl-ites. Originated from a small town in Johor, they decided to set up business in this metropolitan area due to its huge population catch.

Their rather big 2 pages menu

They styled the entire outlet like a train station

They came up with new dishes occasionally, as shown in this board placed in front of the outlet and cashier

What I like about this kopitiam is that their coffee and tea have a very strong taste. This time I had their tea @ RM2.60... still piping hot and freshly brewed. I like it as it was not too sweet.

Hainanese chicken chop @ RM11.90 - it used to be RM2.00 cheaper than the current price but I guess the cost have skyrocketted. It comes with a big piece of chicken leg and topped with sweet sauce. Other side dishes include green peas, baked beans, sliced mushroom and french fries. Apart from the conventional one that I had in my hometown, this dish is as good as it gets in KL...

Sambal fried rice & drummets @ RM8.90 - the fried rice was decent with 2 chicken drummets and fried egg. Nothing to shout of!

Leo's verdict - A lot of new additions such as mee hailam, fried fish porridge and mee goreng. Most of the time, I only stopped by for their chicken chop, toasted bun and tea/coffee only. I heard that their nasi lemak is quite OK.
