A Chinatown shopping hot spot on the Lee Rubber Building's second floor, with a comfy corner where customers can rest their feet & replenish their energy with tasty treats.
Quiches & pies dominate Peter Hoe's display counter, but we insisted on the seafood spaghetti, a special of the day on the cafe's blackboard menu. This simple, WYSIWYG pleasure won't win major awards, but it's hearty & well-prepared.
Cherry cheesecake, topped with the sweetest, juiciest fruit. We like!
Carrot & walnut cake. Its texture was kinda mushy, but the flavor was fine.
Lemon juice. Wine is also available, but only by the bottle.
After eating, check out Peter Hoe's wares, including furniture, linen & jewelry. It's like a fantastic flea market, with everything except fleas.
Break out the piggy bank! 'Tis (still) the season to be shopping.
Peter Hoe Beyond,
Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur.
Open through 7 p.m. daily.
Lol I had to google WYSIWYG, now I know what it is. The cherry cheesecake looks good.
ReplyDeleteBaby Sumo: heheh, I guess it's more of a techie term, and I'm probably using it inaccurately here. I guess what I mean is that it tastes exactly as expected from its appearance :D
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Sean! Have a blessed 2012. I have been to this Peter Hoe place many times... mainly to shop and perhaps had a drink... never tried their food.
ReplyDeletePureglutton: here's wishing ya a great 2012 too, Chris! Incidentally, I didn't manage to really browse or buy anything here at Peter Hoe. Only had time to eat, heheh. Wish they would stay open for dinner =)
ReplyDeleteI loved all the craft and clutter. (Well, not really clutter, more like well-arranged wares to be sold, but you know what I mean.)
ReplyDeleteRemember us calling that their Rainbow Pasta? So colourful! :D
We insisted on the seafood spaghetti? I thought is you? You finished the whole plate! LOL
ReplyDeleteKenny: ooo, and speaking of clutter, we were supposed to revisit Allison's Place to check out their Chinese New Year wares. Time flies la =)
ReplyDeleteCK: i dunno why, but I really liked that spaghetti. Something simple but so satisfying. It's nearly 2 a.m. now and I wish I could be eating that spaghetti now :D
That cherry cheesecake does look good! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy 2.1.12!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know they serve food. Hehe. Silly me. The spaghetti looks heart enough while the cherry cheesecake looks like a happy dessert with a good cup of tea.
first time hearing about cherry cheesecake.
ReplyDeletelike baby sumo, i had to google up about WYSIWYG... seen this acronym a couple of times but didn't really know much about it. hehehee

Allison's Place? Let's go! Are they open today?
ReplyDeleteTNG: it was, thanks to the cherries! the cheesecake part was average only :D
ReplyDeleteMissyblurkit: yay, because it's still a public holiday today! =) hmmm, maybe it's because peter hoe has two branches, rite, and only one of them serves food, i think. not sure =)
Michelle: heh, i've never seen the acronym being used to describe food, but i hope it makes sense! :D
ReplyDeleteRad: can probably bake at home, if you have the ingredients! =)
Kenny: okie, i no longer need to answer that question :D
