Chatime vs Gong Cha

Well.....it is another hit on town....Years back it was donut....now it was bubble tea...

As fiery competition as donut between Big Apple and J.Co, this round competition saw Chatime and Gong Cha running to be the favourite bubble tea in Malaysia...

So here my verdict

Chatime....lot of variety..pearl is nice and chewy


Gong Cha....My vote go to gong cha as the tea is more fragrance and smooth. However the pearl is a bit hard and too chewy for my liking....


Well, those who like bubble tea so much....my advice is you can go ahead with drinking but not too much.....Is still consider a processed beverage where the syrup, milk powder and flavour powder is factory manufactured.....SO....just be moderate

Pastis - The Garden

Been to this place in The Garden call Pastis for tea time set twice in a week. Haha...

Nothing fancy about it but just need to post it here to introduce the tea set.



As you see from the picture, the tea set come with a tower of 3 layers of foods ranging from cakes, sandwishes, creme brulee, tiramisu, chocolate and toasted pizza. It also come with tea or coffee for 2 person. A long list of coffee and tea is available for patron to choose from. Normal tea would be earl tea, breakfast tea, chamomile, peppermint tea and the list go on....

So next time while you are waiting for your girlfriend doing her shopping or to take a rest after a long hour walking across mid valley and the garden, stop by at Pastis - Ground floor of The Garden, opposite Isetan main entrance....

Ding Tai Fung

If my memory never fail me, I had try Ding Tai Fung for 3 times and I never snap photo using my camera before....Yeah, how failure of me...

Anyway, big name no need much to mentions.....Ding Tai Fung serve famous Shanghainese food. Famous for its Xiao Long Boa and La Mien, the restaurant had expended to Malaysia with 3 outles - Pavilion, The Garden and Empire Gallery.

Xiao Long Pau - come with few choices such as normal version or with crab meat.


My favourite food of all - Stewed beandcurd with honey sauce

I order it on all the visit. Is so nice....a good appertiser or as side dishes for your La Mien...

Hot & Sour Soup La Mien - be prepare to have a hot stomach especially you dare enough to put in some hot chilli oil....Is good and sweaty experience!!!


Another food i try before is the pork chop fried rice.
Sorry as there is no photo....However the portion is so huge that it can fit 2-3 person. The fried rice is so so and nothing to shout about. But if you think Xiao Long Bao is not enough for you, a fried rice is just nice for you.
