Fresh Juices (RM11/glass). We choose Rise N Shine (grape,carrot,orange & apple) and Citrus C (grapefruit and orange). No water and sugar added!

Started appetizer with traditional Italian platter. Cured Ham & Cheese Platter (RM25/45). A gorgeous wooden plate fulfilled by prosciutto, salami, brie, cheddar, Parmesan, Jalapeno, Anchovy, capers, beetroot carrot salad, gremolato and crispy toast.

Prosciutto (Italian dried cured ham) & salami (cured sausage consisting of fermented and air-dried meat) both thin sliced. Taste savory and smooth. Crispy yet juicy spices sausage was awesome.

Generous portion of Brie(soft cow milk cheese), Parmesan and cheddar was satisfaction.

Grapes was so sweet and crunchy. I like their refreshing herbs condiments which consists tomato, onion, coriander, capers and lime.

Every single element should put together on top of crunchy thin toast, it's definitely well match and awesomely delicious.

Everything in a bite! Yum!

Tapas. Choose any 3 appetizer/ snacks from tapas menu for RM45. Coming with salad and toast/ fries/ garlic rice.

We choose Kachin Paprika Grilled Squid with basil mint pesto, Spanish Sliced Pork Belly with pumpkin corn mash & Grilled Chorizo with guacamole.

Kachin Paprika Grilled Squid with basil mint pesto. Squid was chewy, fresh and well seasoned. Love the sauteed cherry tomatoes. The salad on base was yummy. Recommend for squid lover.

Spanish Sliced Pork Belly with pumpkin corn mash. Well seasoned and tender grilled pork belly. Pumpkin corn mash made from fresh sweet pumpkin was a wow!

Grilled Chorizo with guacamole. Springy spicy chorizo is a must order for sausage lover.

House salad was awesomeeeeeee ❤❤❤

Mushroom potato thyme soup (RM10). Coming with toast which drizzle with olive oil and herbs. Mushroom soup was rich with mushrooms fillings and we gave full score based on our liking.

Wild Honey Pork Chop (RM32). Grilled pork chop with caramelized apple pear, pumpkin corn mash, wild honey and thyme. 

Tender pork chop, sweet and sour caramelized pear and poured the sweet wild honey on top. It's definitely a whole new taste experience for us. Yummy!

Pesto Grilled Salmon with Asparagus Guacamole (RM35). Generous serving size of perfectly grilled salmon topped with basil cashew nut pesto, sauteed asparagus, rocket, avocado, tomato and herbs.

I would say everything in this plate was perfect for my liking. Especially their avocado and tomato salad! Thumb up!

Soft Shell Crab & Prawn Risotto (RM33). See the 2 deep fried large prawn and a soft shell crab on top of risotto!! Risotto is rice cooked in prawn broth, tomato purees and spices, side with rocket salad.

Risotto was flavorful with prawn broth and tomatoes, love it's creamy texture. Large prawns and soft shell crab were huge and fresh. I would say this dish is value for money.

Delicious healthy food with MSG free! Much enjoyed!

 See the wild honey glass container? It's sources from orang asli.

We love the ambiance here. It's quiet, clean, cozy and welcoming.

Will we back again? Definitely yes to try out their remaining hearty dishes on the menu.

Cafe Studio @ The Strand Kota Damansara - Part 2 Amazing Coffee Brewing Experience

With high end cafe on the rise, our coffee option has expanded. In Cafe Studio, the question is no longer what type of coffee you want but how you want your coffee made. Between Royal Balancing Siphon, Vacuum Coffee, Irish Coffee, French Press & Dripping Coffee, getting a cup of coffee has become more interesting.

Coffee Maker Equipment Lab

You can choose in what way you want your coffee made and try it yourselves! Or asking for staff assistance.

1. Royal Balancing Siphon

Fashionable goldsmith balancing siphon, origin from Europe since early 1840's.


The coffee from a balancing siphon can best be described as “crystal clear”, with great purity of flavor and aroma and no bitterness added by the brewing process.


 

Two chambers arranged side by side on a balance-like device, with a counterweight attached to the heated chamber. When the vapor has forced the hot boiling water out, the counterweight activates a spring-loaded which smothers the flame and allows the initial chamber to cool down thus lowering pressure and causing the brewed coffee to seep in.

 Boiling water is pushed through the metal pipet.

The beauty of Balancing Siphon is the coffee is brewed by extended contact with water at exactly right brewing temperature and the the coffee is immediately separated from the ground.

2. Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is a cocktail consisting hot coffee, Irish whiskey and brown sugar. Stirred and topped with whipped cream. The coffee is drunk through the cream.


Cafe studio's version of Irish Coffee excluding Irish whiskey because HALAL

Irish coffee maker

I am quite addicted to this. It's aromatic and sweet, credit to whipped cream. I wondering if it's taste similar to Harry Potter's Butter Beer?? LOL

The video of barista showing us how Irish Coffee is made.

3. Vacuum Coffee

A vacuum coffee maker brews coffee using 2 chambers where vapor pressure and vacuum produce coffee.

Heating water until expansion forces contents through a narrow tube into upper vessel containing coffee grounds with principle of vacuum.
 

When the coffee has finished brewing, the heat is removed. The pressure in the bottom vessel drops and the force of gravity and atmospheric pressure push the water down into the lower vessel, ending brewing.

Just witnessing the process for the first time is hard to describe. Like how cool it is the little experiments in science lab during secondary school time.

  Vacuum coffee process by their barista.

4. Drip Brewing

The last coffee making we tried out is Drip Brewing. We moved to a specialist dripping coffee designed round table.

 Pouring hot water over ground coffee contained in a filter.

 

Hot water seeps through the ground coffee, absorbing it's oil and essences, then passed through the bottom of the filter.

Take note for the volume of hot water you pouring to avoid bland or lacking in flavor.

Finally, it's my time to brew coffee!

Irish coffee matching with sinfully delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter mille crepes is heaven! =)))

Choose your preference coffee bean and each type of coffee brewing cost RM16.50

It's a totally new experience and knowledge for us about coffee brewing. Thanks to their barista who's patient enough to explain and show us the proper way of different type coffee making! =)

Brewing coffee @ Cafe Studio, a cozy yet artful space is totally enjoyable. Cafe Studio is a perfect place for coffee lover i would say.
