ZEST Cafe & Restaurant @ The Sphere, Bangsar South


‘Tasty food is often not healthy and healthy food is not tasty’, well that is what most people think, ask Mr Ong—the food technologist/owner of the ZEST Cafe & Restaurant and he will tell you a different story ;) Located inside The SphereBangsar South, this lovely healthy food restaurant with a Mediterranean inspired menu is definitely the place to be in if your’re looking for some tasty and healthy meals which wouldn’t burden the body with too much MSG, saturated fat or other synthetic food additives.

lovely homey interior of the restaurant ^^
soothing ambiance with a pretty nice view from the 1st floor of The Sphere :)

wonderful place for couples and family ^^
a quick glance of the menu

Since started the business back at 2011, ZEST Cafe & Restaurant pride themselves in serving up healthy MSG-free food with low fat and sugar, on top of that olive oil has been the fundamental cooking oil for all the western mains in the restaurant according to the owner, a big thumbs up for the dedicated health food restaurant which certainly live up to their tagline—— 'Food for the body, and food for the soul' b^^d

Among the signature dishes served, my personal favourites goes to the aromatic Pan Grilled Salmon which were nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked, the tender, moist and flavourful salmon cut is simply too alluring to resist ;) 

Pumpkin Soup (RM 6.5)
Zest Salad, a colorful and healthy mix of fresh salads with grilled pan grilled prawns, zucchini, aubergine and pumpkin 
tossed in balsamic dressing (RM 17.5)
Rosemary Roast Chicken. The flavor was well balanced between the rosemary and roast chicken, 
nice sharing dish (whole RM 38, half RM 21)
Pan Grilled Salmon with Lemon Capers Sauce , those tender, moist and flavourful thick cut 
never fails to make me drool :P (RM 38.8)


Just in case you're not a meat person, another favourite of mine, the Aubergine Spinach Lasagna is what you shouldn't overlook here at ZEST Cafe & Restaurant, the natural home-blend hearty tomato sauce is what standout to me for this dish, and trust me if you have had enough of those heavy, cheesy, stick-to-your-guts kinda lasagna, try this to even up the score ;)

Aubergine Spinach Lasagna, love the healthy sense via the spinach and hearty tomato sauce b^^d (RM 19.8) 
Prawn Spaghetti Alla Pesto. If you're wondering, yup the pesto sauce is homemade too ^^  (RM 19.5)
A healthy, wholesome dinner b^^d
after meal dessert, lovely pancake with homemade mango and chocolate ice cream, 
a sweet ending to the satisfying night. ;)

Twenty One Grams Café @ Petaling Jaya (PJ Newtown)


Twenty-one grams, some said that’s how much a human soul weighs.. Well I'm not entirely positive about that saying as it is, at least to present, a rather controversial argument.. However, what I do know for sure is that twenty one grams of freshly ground coffee, that gives a perfect cup of coffee. Trust me as I've personally verified it at the Twenty One Grams Café, a pleasant new café in town which located just a few blocks away from the MBPJ Tower in PJ Newtown ^^

wonderful wooden details interior design, warm and cosy b^^d

a popular sitting spot—sweet little corner with nice photographic backdrops ;)
classic incandescent bulb which on only during special occasions :)
cute minion spotted, nice drawing by the café folks ^^
aroma of coffee in the air :)
A whole new menu, lots of surprises awaits ;)


Being the only chic café opened just few months back in the Petaling Jaya new town centre, Twenty One Grams Café prides itself on serving specialty coffee and amazing food, and to our surprise the café which we have not heard much about serves a markedly good dark roasted coffee (at a pretty decent price too), rich and flavorful but not burnt, just the way a nice cuppa dark roasted coffee should be b^^d 

Cappuccino  b^^d 
Salted Caramel Iced Coffee 
Mocha Iced Coconut 


If you're looking for something more than coffee to fill your tummy, the wide variety of homemade dishes here at Twenty One Grams Café won't fail you as both Western and Asian foods are available with lots of selections under various categories, pretty diverse menu for a café if you ask me ;)  

Brioche French Toast with banana and strawberries, one of the many tasty and eye-pleasing all-day breakfast item ^^ 
Brioche French Toast 
Turkey Mango Chutney, Turkey ham, mango chutney, basil & melted cheese with artisanal hand-made ciabatta. 
The lovely basil fragrance is what attracted me the most to this dish, the cheese is slightly mild to my taste though.   
Chocolate Cheese Brownie, dense fudgy chocolate brownie with a unique touch of cheese, interesting dessert ^^ 
Churros & Esprosso Chocolate
Crunchy crispy on the outside and soft on the inside churros together with the alluring espresso chocolate dipping 
made it a perfect sweet treat not to be missed here @ Twenty One Grams Café b^^d


Getting here can be a little bit tricky as the traffic has been recently redirected, fear not, however, as Waze is still pretty much reliable in finding your way to Twenty One Grams Café according to the owner ;)

Kin No Uma Japanese Restaurant @ Palace of the Golden Horses


Reside quietly in the Palace of the Golden Horses—a world-class award winning luxury hotel which tagged as "Asia’s Most Extraordinary Hotel", Kin No Uma Japanese Restaurant is definitely one must go place for Japanese food lovers. Though might be a bit off the beaten track, the tranquil restaurant surrounded via warm contemporary Japanese setting together with its private tatami rooms and kimono-clad waitress promises a truly wonderful gourmet experience, one that can be hard to come by in the often quite busy city life ;)

the forever stunning Palace of the Golden Horses ^^

Offering only the freshest and most premium of ingredients which some even flown all the way from the land of the rising sun (once every Thursday according to chef.. so now you know which day to visit if you wish to savor wish to savor the freshest sashimi) and dishes prepared upon order by the masterful chefs each with at least 5 years of culinary experiences in Japan, authenticity and perfection is what Kin No Uma Japanese Restaurant take pride in ;)

to the warm contemporary Japanese atmosphere within the restaurant b^^d
 Kin No Uma Japanese Restaurant with a seating capacity of 78, including two private rooms and a sushi bar counter :)
lovely table setting
quick glance of the menu, an array of sushi and tsukuri
Salt-boiled Edamame
Kaiso Salada: assorted seaweed salad which comprises of five different varieties, 3 choice of dressing are available,
namely the ponzu, thousand island and honey mustard if my memory serves me correctly :P
 (RM 24) 
Kin No Uma Roll: deep-fried king prawn with lettuce, cucumber, avocado, mayonnaise, cheese wrapped with seaweed,
sushi rice and fish roe. The house maki roll with perfect balance of flavours, fresh, tasty and no doubt this is
o
ne exquisite dish with an equally outstanding presentation  b^^d (RM 58)
Maruyama Tempura: Deep-fried assorted fresh seafood and vegetables in light and crunchy batter. Wonderful demonstration of healthy fried food which taste delectable with a dip or two into the light Tentsuyu (tempura dipping sauce) b^^d (RM 42) 
Wakadori Teriyaki: tender grilled chicken with the always-seems-so-tasty teriyaki sauce,
perhaps only Unagi Kabayaki can pull me away from this ^^
(RM 37)
Miso Shiru: Soya bean paste soup. I'm not really a fan of miso because most restaurant tend to serve them either tasteless or too salty, this on the other hand taste just nice, one thumbs up for it b^^d (RM 15)
Gindara: hot plate cod fish with aromatic lemon and garlic butter sauce ^^ (RM 45)
green tea ice cream, seems like this has been my recent favourite 
in ending a Japanese meal ;)
