Demitasse, Wisma Cosway

Demitasse @ Wisma Cosway, KL

Today i had lunch with one of my coleages at this little cafe called Demitasse, which is located on the first floor of the Wisma Cosway in KL. This place has been in operation for years, and has consistently been a fave place of mine to eat, due to two very good reasons. Firstly, the foods are great, and there're enough items on the menu to sate your appetite. Secondly, the prices are so affordable. Oh, did i mention the serving is quite huge too?

If you enter Wisma Cosway from tha main entrance, head straight for the escalator. Upon reaching the first floor, turn left and walk straight to the other end of the level to find this little cafe tucked right at the corner on the left.

The menu include other standard local treats such as pasta dishes, pies, mee hoon, chicken with coleslaw, toasts, nasi lemak, etc etc. It's a good idea to come early to avoid the lunch hour rush, as the place is always packed from 12pm onwards. This is a good place to come have a a good lunch with your friends anytime.
Wisma Cosway is located at Jalan Raja Chulan, 50200, KL.

Posh Eatings @ the apartment downtown/klcc

Recently my colleagues and I went for a lunch treat at the apartment downturn klcc, where we get to sample some of the finest offerings this suitably posh restaurant has to offer.




The restaurant is strategically located along the row of coffee shops and other eateries that faces the park and lake area ofSuria KLCC. Spread over two floors, the apartment has the ambience of a nice, comfy, clean home setting with a good view of the lake. The main color theme is white, from the tables to the drapes that adorned
windows.







THE MAIN COURSES:



Andrew's Pasta - a nice loking pasta dish served with potatos, asparagus, basil and fettuccine. It tastes a bit bland, but otherwise a perfect choice for the health-conscious diners.


Butterflied Lemon Chicken - a new offering on the menu - which is chicken breast drenched with lemon and yoghurt. This is not bad at all. I love the tabbouleh style and the lemon flavour. My only complaint is that size of the serving is a bit too small for me. But then again, maybe that's because i have a bigger stomach capacity than most people.


Roast Duck, serve with peach, mash potato, walnut and watercress salad - mouth-watering and satisfying, a must-try



Sheppard's Pie - another new item on the menu. A simple yet delicious beef minced pie served with carrots and mashed potatoes.


Lamb Shank - served with mixed vegetables including aubergine and tomatoes. SO good, you wanna eat the bones after you're done with the meat. It will satisfy the more carnivorous of you lots.


THE DESSERTS:



Apple and Pear Crumbles - I've never tasted anything so crunchy and sweet. If you like sweet stuff, and are not diabetic, this is the dessert for you. Take one mouthful of the vanilla ice cream, then take one scoop of the crumbles, and just savour (or cringe) the overwhelming sweetness of this treat.


Baked Chocolate Pudding - the creme de la creme - a yumy-licious serving of chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream. So rich and satisfying.... You simply must try this if you ever set food in this restaurant. As one of my colleagues aptly summed it up "This is sinful"...

Eton Mess - a mess it may look like, but what a delicious mess! It's a broken crisp meringue served with whipped cream and strawberry. Once you start eating, you won't be able to stop. Another must-try for dessert lovers out there.


All in all, my dining experience at the apartment downturn has been an eye-opening and pleasant one. Great ambiance, great-tasting foods (they look nice too), good service (ok they were a bit late with the drink orders, but other than that, everything's fine) and let's not forget the desserts ok.

My first blog

Hello y'all!! Come one, come all....
Welcome to my blog - GoodEatings. My name is Calvin Foon, and this is my site dedicated to providing fun, unbiased and easy-to-read reviews on all types of foods, covering a plethora of restaurants, fast food outlets, snack bars, food stalls, and what-have-yous around KL and Seremban.
I was motivated to create this blog by a colleague of mine who, just like me, happened to be an ardent fan of foods. People say eat to live, while I say live to eat, and Good Eatings are what this site will be all about...
I will be posting my very first food review soon....and hopefully, more to come later on. SO, sit back, relax, and enjoy reading my blog. But most importantly, have a Good Eating whenever you can.

Chomp-chomp,
