Not a caffeine addict? No fear, CCC is still well worth visiting, thanks to its inexpensive snacks and wonderfully warm service.
Chicken-&-mushroom pie. Banish all memories of other pitiable pies with dry, stale pastry and bland, stringy meat (Delifrance, cough, cough). This made-to-order version is the exact opposite. Devastatingly delicious.
Roasted pumpkin & capsicum soup. OK, so pumpkin soup has turned into a cliche. But this creamy, deliriously aromatic broth ranks among the Klang Valley's best, packed with melt-in-the-mouth chunks of nectarous pumpkin.
Vegetarian frittata (oven-baked omelet with salsa). A luscious bargain for RM4.90 (less than what a Big Mac costs!), featuring a rich, runny egg yolk hidden within.
The cakes are OK, but unmemorable. Plus point: not too sweet.
Graffeo specialty coffees (iced mocha & roasted almond latte). The coffee chemists here seem to have found a magic formula in their laboratory, creating explosively flavorful, full-bodied beverages that might put hair on your chest.
Coffee Chemistry Cafe,
Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara.
OMG! that's cheap! and got WIFI!
ReplyDeleteAhahah.. im gonna spend more time in tis area!
My cook book then this! yaya
gonna drop by this cafe with a bunch of friends on Sunday. I can't wait! :)
ReplyDeleteTng: My Cookbook's menu is wider and more adventurous, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of Coffee Chemistry's food. Best chicken pie, one of the best pumpkin soups ... The chef put in real effort! :D
ReplyDeleteHenry: hope u enjoy it! I hear they've introduced a great beef burger and salmon tortilla on the menu this week =)
but hows the coffee?? it all seems to fancy to me. wheres the good old latte?
ReplyDeleteReal pumpkin soup and made-to-order pies? You got me there! :D
ReplyDelete...I want to try the coffee but I don't want hair sprouting out of my chest! lol.
ReplyDelete(The chicken pie sounds really good - definitely wanna try it soon)
LFB, mari kiter berombongan pergi. They've been there for a while haven't they? Just not faymes lah...guess not until now. :P
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a specialist coffee shop. Will a coffee revolution take place in kl where everyone will know what a ristretto is?
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Now to overcome the fear of going to Kota Damansara (jam!!).......
ReplyDeletehey sean, really thanks for ur beautiful review and glad u enjoy the food & coffee. don't mind i share ur blog link in my facebook fanpage?
ReplyDeletejessica was there last night also ...
GGREAAAT! going here soon! :D
ReplyDeletelol! bro vialentino is the MAN!!! Now that Sean approved your place (his palate can be hard to please)... I only have to find a free slot to visit the cafe!
ReplyDeleteya man, to get sean's stamp of approval, ....!!! am already thinking of heading here for lunch tomorrow.
ReplyDeletewe can vouch that the coffee there is good!! and the foam was expertly prepared. i get really anal about foams that are over-beaten. CCC definitely have no such problems :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Vialentino. Well done.
caroline: see u soon....
ReplyDeleteleo: hahaha...yeah, i remember Sean now from his blog profile pic ... he came with a friend ... sure, just fb me and will arrange for u.
fbb: sure sure....me tmrw lunch not around lah bro....weekend?
augustdiners: thanks thanks for the compliment and wishes...appreciate ur great feedback and hope to c u another round!
joe: heheh, there's a pageful of coffees on the menu, but i'm not much of a coffee drinker, so i haven't delved too deeply...
ReplyDeletelfb: my only gripe: no booze sold here! i assume they'd allow us to bring our own, though i think they wouldn't encourage it...
j: ya, we were hesitant to order the pie, since it sounds like something generic, but it was listed as the specialty on their menu, so we caved in. phew! :D
qwazymonkey: ooh i think this one opened last week. but yeah, it's impossible to keep track of all the outlets in sunway giza, since there are just too many now! =)
michelle: yikes! i must confess, i have heard of 'ristretto' enough times to know it's linked to coffee, but i don't actually know what it means, heheh
lemongrass: yeah, if only the jam leading to kota damansara were less daunting (like ttdi or hartamas instead), i'd probably hang out here a lot more often! :D
vialentino: sure, go ahead, thanks. hmmm, i didn't notice her that night, i guess we were there at different times. keep up the great work :D
caroline: hope u like it! =)
leo: aiya, my palate is very easy to please lah. but still, the food here exceeded my expectations. hopefully they'll expand their menu a bit further soon :D
fbb: yikes, but it seems kinda far from bangsar to kota damansara. the drive back and forth could take an hour in average lunchtime traffic!
augustdiners: phew, glad to hear u say that. coffee is definitely not my area of expertise, since i so rarely drink it. but we loved what we ordered here :D
You bring your own aura of booze witchu wherever you go lah, bro...
ReplyDeleteP.S. Speaking of pumpkin soup, just had some at Grappa, Avenue K (company luncheon and January baby birthday celebration, ahem) - a tad salty for my liking. :P
sean, yeah...she was there last night...hahaha. anyway about the booze, BYO ... no corkage charge ... some customer brought own wine and liquor to dine ... :)
ReplyDeletecoming with new menu and own recipe...WIP. c u around.
lfb: aura of booze? are u calling me sleazy :P
ReplyDeletep.s. ooh, i've only been to grappa once. didn't quite love it. am actually surprised that it's still around, heheh!
vialentino: ohh ok, then it was a different night, since my visit was last week. thanks for the info on the booze. it's good to know! :D
Wow...what a nice review about the cafe. I'm very much looking forward to meeting some awesome bloggers there too this Sunday! Hopefully, we'll have a pleasant and memorable experience too~ Wee!(^_^)v
ReplyDeleteErika: hope u guys have a good gathering! :D
ReplyDeleteNot sleazy, boozy. :P
ReplyDeleteP.S. Well, the tenacity of some places may surprise you. Fortunately I think for next month's company luncheon, we're doing something Middle-Eastern instead. Yay!
Yup. Good coffee, pleasant company and good spicy carbonara too.
ReplyDeletePumpkin soup was hearty, and everything sooo affordable. Nothing more than RM20 I remember. Not even RM15 ...
that's good. we really need more good coffee outlets in malaysia.
ReplyDeletelfb: it's a thin line between the two :D
ReplyDeletep.s. but middle eastern usually means no alcohol! boooooo!
j2kfm: ya, the prices are really impressive. i bet the vegetarian frittata would cost double at many other outlets =)
eiling: heheh, i'm not much of a coffee drinker, yet. i'll stick to booze for my liquid needs for now :D
I should drop by tomorrow since I'll be in Sunway Giza for an assignment. Chicken pie..here I come! :D
ReplyDeletebangsar-babe: oh yeah, that'd be a great order for lunch. light and satisfying. the vegetarian frittata takes the longest to prepare though, if i recall right...
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone of ur support n comment. All items is made upon order. noting ready made to frezz up. Same as the Frittata n chicken pie. we have a faster way of doing our frittata n chicken pie. and the quality is much better then the 1st day. Pls do come by.
ReplyDeletecheers,Chef Willy
wye lok: looking forward to returning to try the burger sometime! :D
ReplyDeleteyeah.... sure. burger will be start wen our new menu comes up.will update wena new menu is out. ;)
ReplyDeleteoh i had the best chicken mushroom pie so far in CCC... The coffee might look fancy but the price you pay and the taste u get is worth every single penny! I had a good gathering with some bloggers there. Do check out the photos in their fanpage: www.facebook.com/coffeechemistrycafe
