Fine desserts from Madhatter desserts @ Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya

MadHatter is a fine dessert cafe located in Damansara Uptown. The owner is the runner up of Masterchef Asia, Marcus Low. They offer creative and high quality desserts at the standard of some Michelin rated restaurants that I tried in overseas. They have a few signature cakes such as raspberry rose and lychee, chocolate calamansi and pistachio, passion fruit and green tea cake. They serves premium desserts at 7.00pm onwards. So if you craving for their fine desserts, do drop by after your dinner. Most of the desserts here are inspired from our many Malaysian fruits, traditional desserts and ingredients.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I like their watermelon with assam boi tart, chocolate calamansi and the bubur cha cha dessert. Good taste combination. Their breads are good as well especially the preserved olive leaf sour dough and brioche. I have been coming here for few times to try their different desserts and so far they are good at maintaining the quality and taste. The best part is the owner is always around and passionate on the desserts that he created. The service here is good as well).
Price:3/10(Expensive. Although the price of the desserts here are high, but the those desserts are high quality and taste great. Cakes price between MYR13 to MYR17 and premium dessert between MYR25 to MYR40. This shop however only accepts cash as payment. I do hope that they accept cards in the future as their desserts and bread are not cheap).

Fascinating Isetan The Japan Store @ Lot 10, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur

Its quite exciting to see Isetan opening a real Japanese concept store in Malaysia. All the products and environment in this Isetan store does imported from Japan and make you feel like visiting a Japanese department store. Malaysian do like Japanese products very much. Although the exchange rate is not favourable to us, we still like to buy Japanese products. This can be seen when people flocking to The Isetan store in Lot 10 and the newly opened FamilyMart. I do admit that I attracted to the products over here. I spend almost half a day exploring this mall and tried the food at their food court. Here you can have authentic Japanese food. If you like soba noodles, they even have a Japanese chef making the soba noodles here. Fresh on the spot. If you like Japanese drinks, the selection is abundant from beer, wines, sake and Japanese non-alcoholic drinks. Isetan The Japan Store currently has five floors operating, with each floor has its own dedicated theme: The Market, The Museum, The Studio, The Room, and The Cube. The store does great for window shopping but not so friendly to your wallet. A broom imported from Japan, cost MYR500, Doob technology figure at MYR950 to MYR3200 and clothes mostly above MYR1000.
