Taste of IndoBowl Cafe in Malaysia

October 21, 2018 2
Indomie is an instant noodle for those of you who don't know. But it is a comfort food for most and also the easiest to prepare from home. However, if it's so easy, why go out to a cafe to indulge in these? Let me share with you WHY you SHOULD visit IndoBowl Cafe!


IndoBowl Cafe brings an authentic and unique twist to Indomie noodles and the way it is served. Each recipe curated is inspired from Indonesia and mixed with the fusion flavours of Malaysia. And just like how Malaysian's are of from many walks of life, with different upbringings from various cultures and heritage; The Indomie flavours are unique and satisfying!



Nasi Goreng Ayam Balado (RM 12) served with fried rice in their IndoBowl Signature Red sambal, topped with a sunny-side up and grilled chicken, tastes really unique on its own. The same signature sambal across most of the menu, protrudes a fresh fragrant chilli aroma and taste, but the spicyness is not too overwhelming and just right. The fried rice is a true comfort food to have and it is crunchy because of the long beans mixed in it. I'd order this anyday!


Indomie Salted Egg Chicken (RM 11.90) served with Indomie, chicken that's fried and covered in golden salted egg yolk. Topped with a sunny-side up and balado at the sides. The balado chilli are handmade with really fresh & young red chillies, hence it's spicyness is not too bad. The salted egg chicken compliments the dish, making it salty, sweet and crunchy, yet slightly spicy. A good mix in a bowl.


Indomie Cheesy Chicken Chop (RM 14.90) is served with chicken chop that is grilled till its skin is crispy and drizzled with their own homemade blend of cheesy sauce. I really love the cheesy sauce for this dish, best choice to have for the kids. Its savoury cheesy and creamy like texture brings out a unique subtle flavour of a hint of mushroom in it. Also the combination of the grilled chicken chop and Indomie, creates a wonderful mix of wonder in this bowl that is really tasty to indulge in. I know my husband who don't like cheese will even finish this in one go! It's not too overwhelming yet tastes great altogether.


Mambo Jumbo Seafood Soto (RM 39.90), served with a variety of seafood like crabstick, fish ball, prawn, sotong and added wiith a grilled fried chicken with 2 soft boiled eggs, taugeh, IndoBowl Signature red sambal and spring onion as garnishing. I love this the most because it has a beautiful aroma of Lemongrass inside and the soup on its own is really pure and with the IndoBowl Signature red sambal inside, it truly gives you a "kick" in the tastebud! However, when you break the egg yolk and mix in this humongous bowl of soto soup, the soup texture changes immediately! It becomes smoother, richer and more fragrant because of the egg. For me this is also spicy but for those who can tolerate spicyness, it will be only slightly spicy for you that you can definitely handle! My nose was a lil runny after eating this because of the chilli but it was really delicious! You can easily share this with 2 to 4 pax!


Indomie Mumbo Jumbo (RM 59), come with Chicken Madura, Lamb Rack, Rib Eye (cut into pieces for easier consumption), 2 pcs of Chicken Satay and 4 pc of sunny-side up eggs. Portion sharing is suitable for 3 to 4 pax and it's also served with 3 sides of sambal for mixing. The onion is mixed with IndoBowl's Signature red sambal and I taste a slight subtleness of lime (if I'm not mistaken) but it tastes really strong and fragrant yet spicy and sour at the same time, the onion gave this dish sting my nose but it is a perfect mix to the Indomie! It's also served with IndoBowl Signature Green chilli that has that salty taste to it and less spicy, almost like assam; And the IndoBowl Signature Red chilli. Basically, I literally mixed all the sambal up together, and I felt my tummy kicking me for sure (NO, I'm not pregnant...yet)



The RoPang Chocolate is sweet chocolatey and salty cheesy flavour topped on 2 piece of bread (it's almost like eating french toast). Your kids will love it and it's a very fulfilling dish on its own.


The RoPang Corn has a more sweet and rich taste of corn and saltiness from the cheese. Makes a great dessert to have for sharing.



Soda Gembira (Normal RM 6, Giant RM 8.90) is soda with syrup and milk with chia seeds in it.

From Left : Soda Gembira & Es Cendol
Es Cendol (Normal RM 6, Giant RM 8.90) has a mild sweet and smooth flavour of cendol with corn, gula melaka, milk and coconut.


IndoBowl Cafe is managed by 3 unique individuals where their ideas and concept originated and inspired from Indonesia. Started back in September 2017, the idea came along when it was realized that no restaurants in Malaysia has managed to grasp an Indonesian street food concept with affordable prices. IndoBowl's Signature dish and spexialization is the one and only Indomie that Asians around the world, enjoys the most! Customers can find various renditions of the noodles erved in different flavours and textures here in IndoBowl Cafe. Their Signature Sambal is made from scratch; Even their sauces and marination also all made from scratch. Their sambal is really fresh and if you are a spicy lover, you will probably feel that the sambal is mild for your tastebuds which you can add more to your liking; But if you have sensitive tastebuds like me (like a baby tastebud) then you will definitely taste the pure chilli taste and freshness of the chilli in this.

Discover Harriston Chocolates in Malaysia

October 20, 2018 0
My son loves chocolate the most! Thanks to his daddy for introducing it to him (wait...or was it me?). Well, who doesn't love chocolate! It is he comfort food for many around the world. If there was 1 thing most people have in common, is their secret desire for chocolate! Especially the ones that can melt in your mouth!


Today we took our eldest boy out for a special time just for him to bond with his mommy (me) and daddy (my husband). We do this from time to time, we will allocate a moment out just for each of our kids. Because if adults can have "ME" time, why not the child too? And it is amazing when you start doing this. Because that special moment is one that the child will remember the most and enjoy the most. It makes them feel special and loved, yet not singled out. It also gives us a more closer connection and bond with them, which makes interaction more convenient.


So today it's all about Daniel at Harriston Signature outlet in Taman Shamelin, Cheras. It was quite a huge outlet as it was situated behind 1Shamelin mall and amongst the factory outlets nearby. Harriston, founded since 2005 is now managed by the 2nd generation of the Teng family; They desire to be the world-famous chocolate emporium in Malaysia.


Harriston recently launched the world's 4th type of chocolate called the ruby chocolate that comes after dark, milk and white chocolate.

It was a really unique twist to the chocolatey flavour which has a subtle taste of berries. It now comes in two variant of thin strips and coconut crunch bar, which are available exclusively at Harriston stores under the Harrison Signature line.


Not only do they sell chocolates, I noticed they also have a mini cafe at this venue too!


And for today we joined their DIY workshop that is specially created for age 3 years and above with the adults. It was a really fun experience learning how to handmade our own chocolate art.


It was a full hands-on experience that is filled with fun and joy for us as a family, my son enjoyed it very much as he learn a new skill in chocolate making. The Harriston DIY Workshops incorporates 4 processes altogether, where each session lasts for an hour and it's open for the public to join daily from 9.30am to 6.00pm for only RM35 per pax.


The workshop usually begins with the chocolate moulding process where you get to coat Chocolate moulds, moulding and unmoulding Chocolates. We were taught how to mould Harris, the Orang Utan, by adding in the different chocolate types to created a unique design to bring home as a souvenir treat or as a gift to your loved ones. My son being the creative one as he always is, he just pour whatever he chooses and his dad guide him only.



Once done, we left it aside to cool down the first layer of the mould, then we were taught how to make lollipops by learning how to pour melted chocolate unto the baking sheet with the lollipop stick in the center and then to tap the edges of the table to allow the Chocolate to be evenly distributed. Then followed with a chocolate piping bag to achieve our desired shapes. My son was so happy that he immediately lift the stick up to enjoy his lollipop but the chocolate haven't cooled down yet so it was just the stick he took.




Then we poured Ganache chocolates into the mini chocolate cups that was prepared for us beforehand and we decorated it with nuts, rainbow sprinkles, coconut shavings and raisins.




Then we were taught how to coat biscuits and decorating it with the chocolate piping prepared for us.

Finally we ended the session with the last filling for Harris, the Orang Utan. And as we await for the chocolate to cool down, we were guided back downstairs to the retailing floor for an experiential tour and chocolate tasting.

Harrison now hailed as one of the largest chocolate makers in the country, with their partnership with Barry Callebaut, a world leading chocolate manufacturer, makes it worthwhile for you to bring your family and friends for a visit to this homegrown establishment by Malaysians for the world!

Mueang Kao Thai Restaurant at Damansara Jaya, Malaysia

October 19, 2018 0
Thai food is the best food to have during a cold chilly weather! But it's also delicious during a sunny day, especially for those who love some "kick" in their meals!

Today I was enlightened with this authentic Thai food here located close to the heart of Damansara area at Damansara Jaya! I am the type who loves to enjoy Thai food as is and sometimes when I don't know what to eat, the best comfort food to have will be Tom Yum soup, white rice and fried egg.


Mueang Kao Thai Restaurant serves way more than just the mainstream Thai food you can find anywhere else. They serve true authentic Thai food from the Central region! It was through this restaurant that I can truly taste the difference of each dish when compared with every single Thai food I have eaten in my life! Including the ones I ate in Thailand!!


Their Geng Some Cha Om Goong RM30 is like Tom Yum soup but not! It's actually like seafood soup I would say? But it has that spicy yet sour and sweet flavours that blends together, it is served with fried omellete and fresh prawn in the soup itself! Trust me, you must try this NO REGRET! I had second servings of this because it was just worth it and you can't find this



Po Piah Sod (10pcs) RM22 came with a vibrant burst of flavour with every bite that is crunchy and fragrant! Inside is green curry chicken with carrots and everything is made from scratch. It's really delicious yet unique at the same time. You won't be able to find another po piah like this anywhere, trust me on this. I'm not a poh pia lover but this one is delicious and very satisfying with a lot of juicy meat inside!



Deep Fried Paku Pakis (Small) RM 15 served with their homemade sauce made from scratch! Your kids will be fooled for this dish for sure! And they will finish it without doubt! It's really like having a snack but a healthy one! Added with their unique sauce, it makes this dish worth ordering for the whole family.


Spicy Fried Rice with Thai Basil RM 12 is a little unique, it ain't too spicy actually. Kids also can indulge in it. But you can request for a spicier version. It's fragrant because of the basil leaves. Almost like curry leaves. However, this fried rice is fried with normal duck egg hence making it unique to savour on its own.


BBQ Saba Fish RM 25 has that yummy BBQ grill to its flavours. The fish is fresh and does not have the pungent scent that some people don't like in seafood. And dipped with their homemade sauce its truly compliments the fish and brings out another flavour altogether worth experiencing!


Coconut Prawns with Thai Mango RM18 the prawns were fresh, sweet and fleshy! The coconut made it crispy and tasty. When dipped in the Thai Mango sauce that is also made from scratch, its unique flavours just blends in well and burst perfectly in your mouth making you wanting for more!


Spicy Minced Beef Salad RM 18 is like eating kerabu but tastes way better than kerabu! It has that authentic Thai taste of its sweet and sour and lil bit spices. A super good appetizer to have! We finished the whole thing only to realize that the beef is RAW! But the way they mixed it with its unique flavours inside, it truly masks the beefy scent and brings out it's wonderful flavour! It's not even bloody! I seriously don't know how they made this dish but it is a MUST HAVE! You can taste the true beautiful flavour of beef without its raw flavour! You will love it!


Their most unique dish of all and worthy of ordering is the Australian Jade Perch fish RM 45, imported from Australia and homegrown in Malaysia at their own farm. They have invited researchers over to test their fish living condition here and found that their Australian Jade Perch fish here are more happy and found that it has 10x time more Omega-3 than the regular Jade Perch fish! This means that it is living in a very healthy environment! They have various ways of cooking this fish that you can choose from, the best recommended is Grilled with salt for its pure flavours to emerge! However, today we enjoyed it in Thai Style Salted Egg and deep fried!

Fun fact : ONE Australian Jade Perch fish weighing 500g-600g (Only at Mueang Kao Thai Restaurant) equals to taking 30 capsules of Omega-3 supplement!


Thai Style Sweet Chilli Tofu RM 13 exudes a delicious aroma of sweet yet spicy scent with its sauce that blends it together. It makes this tofu more tasty.


And lastly, their Dry Curry Chicken (S: RM18, B: RM35) that we truly enjoyed, is really rich in its curry flavours and super fragrant! It's great to even eat this on its own or with plain rice/bread. It is that tasty! Even writing about his dish now takes me back to memory lane and making me hungry for more of this now! It's a true mouthwatering dish that you will surely enjoy with your friends and/or family! I could literally lick up all the sauce off the plate!

If you wanna satisfy your thirst, you can order the Lemongrass drink (Glass RM3.90, Jug RM12), it is not sweet but its bursting with its lemongrass scent, fragrance and flavour at every sip!

I ordered Peach Tea RM 4 because I love me some peaches (lolx!). The Lemongrass drink is behind my Peach Tea, by the way.


For desserts we just gotta enjoy true Thai dessert right?! So we had the Thai Red Rubies RM9.50, I would say that this is one refreshing dessert to have. The red rubies are super huge and they were really generous in the serving amount. There's alot of rubies and jackfruit slices inside. Best of all it is not too overwhelmed with the coconut santan flavour unlike other places. It's pretty fragrant altogether, I suspect it's because of the coconut santan that is flown it directly from Thailand!


The Coconut Ice Cream RM12.90 is truly a lipsmacking delicious! My kids will surely enjoy this! I love how it is added with the coconut toppings for added crunchyness and the coconut candy too! Really takes me back to my childhood with the coconut candy!


We also enjoyed the Mango sticky rice RM9.50, the mango is truly sweet with the fragrant coconut santan from Thailand. When you mix them together with he sticky warm rice, the flavours will melt in your mouth at every bite. And I also suspect it's due to the warmness of the sticky rice that brings out the true fragrance of the sticky rice that is made from Thai Siam rice. Never in my life I've tasted anything so unique like this! And I don't always have alot to say but this Thai restaurant is worth-mentioning!


All of the sauces, pastes, recipes and their way of cooking are all unique here because they are all formulated and curated by one of the co-partner who has learned the true authentic cuisines of Thai food from the different regions and focuses on the true beautiful flavour of Central Thai cooking here at Mueang Kao Thai Restaurant! The chef is from Northern Thai but he cooks Central Thai cuisines here which the flavours are more balanced.

Mueang Kao Thai Restaurant (opened since February 2018) is named after an old city in Thailand and the owners with their vast knowledge in the true flavours of Thai cuisines, enlightened us with some fun facts about the flavours in Thai!
- Northern Thai food can be more salty and more oily,
- Southern Thai food has more herbs and lengkuas,
- Northeast Thai food has more chilli,
And the other sides of the Thai region, each has their own signature flavours too! However, Central Thai food is more balanced in flavours, which you can truly enjoyed them over here!



They have other fish here too, like their Tilapia fish AND the owner recommends you to try them out too because you will never taste another Tilapia cooked they way they cook it here! You will love it to its bones! Especially if you hate that fishy scent, then you must order fish here! They have a way to deal with those fishy scent naturally that makes you wanting to come back for more! I believe a good cook with a good recipe and perfect ingredients can make a true difference in the way a food is presented!

EPSON Malaysia New EcoTank Printers

October 18, 2018 0
Attended the launch today of EPSON Malaysia newest and latest EcoTank Printer technology that is eco-friendly and reliable to have for your own! It was a true mark of excellence in technology when it comes to Printers and Inks for that matter. As a consumer myself, I never really bothered to look into all of these until today. Let me share with you what I've learned today that will be super useful for you too!


If you are a parent and you have a growing child at home, I am sure that you will be planning to look for a good printer that you can use in the long run. Because in this day and era, everything is digital and you can literally get anything on your flat LED screen. However, some things are meant to be in a piece of paper or in physical form. So what better, than to get them printed out quick and easy!


I know when my child was a newborn, these weren't necessary, but as a month went by, my phone memory was full and I had to backup all those lovely photos of my baby into an external hard drive and take extra care that I don't drop it! Some parents store it in a cloud server online. But how long and how much can you store overtime? And since I'm of the 80s' baby, I still prefer the have a photo album of 4R prints in handy for show and tell.


3 of the upcoming printers by EPSON EcoTank L-series, namely the few models below :

L3110 (SRP RM 580)
- Print, Scan, Copy
- USB 2.0

L3150 (SRP RM 699)
- Print, Scan, Copy
- USB 2.0
-Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct

L5190 
(COMING SOON in Feb 2019)
- Print, Scan, Copy, Fax with ADF
- USB 2.0
- Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct
- Ethernet
- Colour LCD Control Panel

Built to bring cost-efficient saving into your printing solutions. Their EcoTank ink refill is spill-free, error-free refilling with individual bottles designed with a unique nozzle head on top to fit perfectly when refilling! And even after refilling and lifting the bottle up, you won't have to worry about the ink leaking out from the side of the tilted ink bottle, that is how amazing the nozzle is. It also provides seamless printing speed that is proven and tested to be the fastest amongst other brand competitors in the market.


I used to have a strong judgement on colored printers because of the ink cartridge that is a hassle to refill, dries up easily, if 1 ink finishes then I have to change the whole set of colored ink and can't be refilled or changed separately AND the ink is costly because it can only print a certain number of page and it finishes very fast! EPSON designed this technology to change all my judgement on colored printer forever!


Their new printers can print up to 7,500 coloured and 4,500 black & white pages! And the best part about this EVERY parent will adore is that their printer don't need to heat up before printing anything out! It has a super secret technology inside that enables the machine to print your materials faster, sharper, with clarity, borderless printing up to 4R photo size (YES! Can print 4R photos from home already!), you can also print on lamination AND stickers (NO the glue won't melt! Cos no heat.) AMAZING!


And if you're convinced with their 3 upcoming color printers, especially if you're looking for a more business solution in your office or SOHO or at home for just black & white prints, then you can check these other 3 models that will also be available with the EcoTank.

M1100 (SRP RM 689)
- Mono Print
- 4 year warranty/50k pages
- 1 Paper tray
- USB 2.0

M1120 (SRP RM 717)
- Mono Print
- 4 year warranty/50k pages
- 1 Paper tray
- USB 2.0
- Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct

M2140 (SRP RM 1,154)
- Print, Scan, Copy
- 4 year warranty/50k pages
- 1 Paper tray
- USB 2.0
- LCD Screen Control Panel

This is efficiency meeting economy! I have a mono laser printer at home that uses a huge toner cartridge (talk about ol' skool). But it dries out easily too and I have to remove it and do the "shake" with it and then place it back hoping that the ink will last me a couple more prints. And the 3rd party toner cartridge costs me triple the price of a stack of A4 paper. Which is also another PLUS point to mention that the EcoTank Toner Inks are priced even more affordable compared with 3rd party parallel inks out there!



Did I mention it's easy to refill the ink? 


The EcoTank Monochrome printers can actually print up to 6,000 pages! 



And every business person and entrepreneur will love this feature! The ink is of the highest quality and laser-quality text that will NOT smudge, it's water-resistant and smudge-proof with the pigment ink after it's printed on a piece of paper!


That's not all, overtime using a printer can be costly and you can calculate and compare yourself with your current printers now and compare them with what Epson can help you SAVE!
