A cuppa nicely done caffeine boost@Whisk, One Utama

The Star Trek movie was at 11.20 pm. We were there in One Utama since 8 pm. It was the week's school holidays so the mall was packed like sardines in a can. Claustrophobic!
We walked and walked and walked until we were bored. And there was still 2 more hours to kill. Energy levels low. Eyelids closing down. Decided to get a quick fix of caffeine at Whisk to hold up until 11.20 pm.
Whisk, one of the boutique coffee joints that has gained popularity amongst the yuppies and young execs.
This time, I ordered the cappuccino. The espresso dose was Kau this time, milk thickened and foamy too. I was pretty happy with what I got.
I gotta say that the americano however, varies when it comes to the QC. My first attempt: not impressed. Too diluted and coffee was not hot. Second attempt: turned out great. Smooth down the throat and the coffee was Kau and hot. Third attempt: diluted again. Hmmmm... I should stick to the choice that involve milk in future.
Nonetheless, the layout of this place is very grunge, artsy, condusive for a laid back chill out session..and as my gf says it reminds her of Paris.
Strategically located next to Starbucks, and at for those who wants to order a cuppa for take-away, you can do so at its right corner with a label that says "For serious coffee drinkers..".
For those who walk past it and head towards Starbucks, reading this will probably cause a tiny Ouch in the heart haha.

Ex PM Channel chatters@Tong Pak Fu, Subang SS15

One of those impromptu moments where the volcano of tolerance erupted and all gather to cool down over chatters and ice.
This was my first time trying out the shaved ice from famous TPF. I gotta say... it wasnt as special in term of everything: taste, price, environment... as the ones I had from Kai's shop called Slice, in Far East Plaza, Singapore.
The best flavour was the sesame one, thickened and strong aroma. The rest were....so so.
Oh well the session was not about the ice but about the chatters. It was a great 2 hour session catching up with one another's work and life.
Where shall the next round be, guys?
