Checking out two cozy corners at Kota Kemuning, starting with Grandeur Gallery Cafe.
This first-floor hideaway works well for a casual retreat from the city, cocooned in a leafy suburb.
Striking Asian artwork lines Grandeur Gallery's walls; some are for sale.
Served 8am-6pm, Grandeur's brunch dishes ignite a gooey explosion of yolk-drenched majesty.
Pork power: bacon-wrapped egg. One lament though: Grandeur isn't open during dinnertime.
Kahlua-infused tiramisu, the sole offering here with a trace of liquor.
Coffee & hot herbal tea, perfect to sip in this cafe's soothing setting.
Less than a one-minute walk from Grandeur: Dotz Cafe, another painting-immersed outlet.
Pork's a pleasure at Dotz Cafe too, thanks to a house salad that brims with bacon.
Rum-laced tiramisu cake, satisfactory enough to give Alexis a run for its money.
Lattes, one cold & the other hot, one mint-flavored & the other tinged with banana.
Prices at both Grandeur & Dotz are fair; everything above totaled below RM100.

ReplyDeleteCquek: oooo, actually this was on a weekend afternoon :D
DeleteWuah.. you really go every corner of Selangor to hunt for food.. Kota Kemuning has a lot of hidden cafe actually..;P nice review! ;D
ReplyDeleteEunice: thanks! Ya, there seem to be a lot of worthwhile cafes in Kota kemuning, but unfortunately, i think I can't often come here since I live and work pretty far away. But it's nice to visit this neighborhood =)
DeleteHouse salad with pork sounds magical. Looks like an interesting eatery to hit Kota Kemuning!
ReplyDeleteMissyblurkit: yeah, i didn't expect dotz cafe to be a pork-loving eatery, especially since it seems to be more of a coffee hangout, but both dotz and grandeur gallery were worth the travel to kota kemuning, i think =)
DeleteI don't even know where Kota Kemuning is, but the dishes in both places look pretty good.
ReplyDeleteKelly: ooh, if you live around subang, then kota kemuning would be less than a half-hour's drive away on weekends. yeah, both these outlets are worth checking out :D
DeleteYou're in my hood, y'all... :) What were you doing ALL the way in Kota Kemuning? LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe Pupper Master: we're running out of places to visit in KL! heh, well, not really, but i've been wanting to take a look at kota kemuning for a long time now :D
DeleteGood neighbourhood to open a F & B biz I think.. less competition. Would prefer a more adventurous menu though..
ReplyDeleteTNG: oooh, actually there are tons of eateries in kota kemuning, so i think there's no lack of options for residents here. i quite liked grandeur gallery's egg-in-bread recipe. simple but not too often seen in other cafes :D
DeleteAiyo, so far for me, but I like both their deco!
ReplyDeleteNever mind I can go there while I visit my relative in Shah Alam, hehehe.
CK: heheh, yeah, if you go on a weekend, you can definitely reach this area in less than 45 minutes. and ya, the deco at both these outlets is very cool. love the paintings =)
DeleteGot good food...will travel...rite?...hehe :P
ReplyDeleteUlric: heh, traffic will test my tolerance, but ya, if there's both good food AND good booze promised, then i'd be willing to drive up to two hours there :D
DeleteOops...forgot abt the booze...hehe =)
DeleteUlric: heh, yeah, haven't heard of any good boozy restaurants so far in kota kemuning. but hopefully, someday =)

Simple Person: yeah, it adds an extra zing to the tiramisu! :D
DeleteWow, you actually went all the way there to KK?! That's my territory haha! There are a few good eateries around here, agree :-)
ReplyDeletePureglutton: ooh, nice area that you live at. great for raising kids and having pets, i think. and ya, i wouldn't mind returning to kota kemuning a couple of times a year to check out the cafes here =)
DeleteI wish I could have a slice of Rum-laced tiramisu cake and a cold latte for my tea later lor...
ReplyDeleteMelissa: i definitely wouldn't mind that combination either. the more rum, the better! :D
