[Food] Tino's pizza @Midvalley Megamall

Freshly baked hand-tossed Napoletana pizza

What's so special about their pizza? It is the cooking method where the pizza dough is putting into a 500'C high temp oven for a few minutes. And then, it is ready to serve. Huh, such a fast meal! 

But the way of cooking is good for preserving the softness of the hand-tossed dough while creating a crunchy taste at the surface. The toppings are including the choices of quality fresh food such as beef bacon, roast duck, spinach, basil leaves, cherry tomatoes, which give us a satisfactions of savory meal.

[Food] KitaKami @Sri Petaling (Update: It has moved/closed)

Kita.Kami is located at one of the glasshouses next to Guardian in Sri Petaling. It mainly serves cakes and drinks. A very good place for a leisure chitchat with friends or beloved one. 

The name is special, "kita" and "kami" in Malay represent all forms of "We", perhaps indicates that it could be a place for any type of "we".

The seats and bar counter are made of wood and painted in calming tone - white, blue, green and some parts reserve the brown wood colors. There are very harmony and match with each other.

A beautiful black chandelier is hanging in the middle of the shop.

A corner with the vintage-style plant pots.

Another corner with other vintage artifact collections such as used telephone, some paintings, and decorations.

Book corner

Vintage-style flower pots are hanging on the glass wall.

Food:
Fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream (RM 9.90). My favourite here, rich of good quality chocolate taste, plus not too sweet. It could be more perfect if the texture of the cake is more smooth and moist.

Tiramisu (RM 9.90), best-seller of the shop. You have to be very lucky to have it as they are fast-selling. 

Lemon cheese cake (RM 8.90). Simple yet mouth-watering, I like it! 

Other choices of desserts.

[Food] Chocolate Passion @ Gurney Paragon, Penang

Penang is such a heavenly-like place, not to mention their all-year-long nature gifts of blue sky, sea-view, breezy wind, and of course the abundant of nice foods! The newly opened Chocolate Passion is one of the best dessert shop that could be found in Penang only. 

Currently, Chocolate Passion has 3 outlets in Penang, except Gurney Paragon, the other two located at Strait Quay and Autocity, Juru. Its branch at Gurney Paragon is the 2nd outlet in Penang, located at 6th floor which is next to Penang On 6. 

The place is very comfortable. One corner of the shop is facing the sea, there is some outdoor seats which allow you to enjoy the breezy sea-view while having the chocolate desserts.

We have to make order at the counter. Right besides the counter, they sell a wide range of handmade chocolates. However, I did not buy any this time.

This special one is so-called "Chocolate Boom".

Chocolate Boom - RM 18.50

Look how it melts....

.....so tempting right?

The Chocolate Boom is a very good match of ice cream with hot chocolate and the side dishes (kiwi, strawberry, and the digestive biscuits).

Besides that, we have ordered the famous Churros with dark chocolate. Churros is a spanish dessert that tastes similar to doughnut, dipping the chocolate. 

Churros with dark chocoalte - RM 14.50

The chocolate is definitely a good quality one, it is neither too sweet nor too heavily burden of chocolate taste. It avoids us from feeling cloyed to the desserts. There is everything just fine to me!

Free lemon water is available. As a dessert lover I would deeply appreciate the kind consideration.

If you love CHOCOLATE, you should come here, the chocolate is awesome!
