Little Stories 253 - I Went on Food Hunts with My Brother

Joining my brother's pastry hunt - I'm new in cafe hunting or anything food related. I just wanted a good walk in the city, food inspiration and a nice silent breakfast treat every now and then, so I invited myself to go to these little food hunts with my brother. Ever since there is an MRT near our house, KL feels much reachable. Last month we went to Flaaah in Chinatown area and this month we went to Croisserie in Damansara Heights.

Flaaah is located not so far from MRT Pasar Seni (Gate A), you just had to walk a bit. There are so many cafes just along the path towards Flaaah, so you'll have more options to choose from. I think I might go there alone someday to draw and read.

Here is the food from Flaaah, the best thing would be just plain croissant (+my brother brought along a box of camembert cheese so that was divine as well). Both peanut butter + chocolate croissants were a bit too sugary for my old-lady tongue. Price-wise, the pastries were as expensive as Kenny Hills food.

Next, this month he brought me to Croisserie in Damansara Heights. We had to take MRT to Semantan and Grab to the place. There are more nice cafes near MRT Semantan, but let's keep those for after September when I work in the area. 

I tried the smoked salmon pain viennois, plain croissant and almond milk uji matcha latte. I even took my lactase pill, but I still felt nauseous afterward (not sure from what, perhaps the migraine). The cream cheese was from him (he brought along cream cheese and coffee from home). The matcha latte was rich, thick, and frothy:

Price-wise, it is much more affordable.

The headache came and went on a hot day, a tiny symptom before my pms migraine. Later on for lunch, we went to Kagura in Bukit Bintang and ate a nice spicy white ramen to wrap up the day. And, it was also a delicious meal - I don't normally eat that much soup in one sitting, but this time it was hard not to. The soup was creamy and slightly spicy. Very nice indeed. 

I'm enjoying this little monthly trip very much.

It feels like a little adventure: walks, books, and nice beautiful foods that I can draw later on. I've been in an art block since last year, and I think trying out new things is good for me.
