Been looking for a place at Chipotle like in the States? Now you can get something really similar at Mid Valley on the new Mezzanine Floor at South Court!
A choice of burritos, burrito bowls, soft and hard tacos, nachos, and a lot more! Also a choice of protein filling that you like from beef and chicken meat. Their Ramadhan Special is the beef rendang that tasted quite delicious too!
I had the burrito bowl and they are very willing to cater to your demands if you'd like to customise your bowl. I really love the blend of taste and how appetising everything was.
Next, the burrito is with the Ramadhan special, Beef Rendang. Although not very authentic but it was delicious. The beef rendang could do a little more spice. However, it was definitely a very filling wrap! 😅 The difference between a burrito bowl and the burrito is the latter is wrapped in soft tortilla wraps the former is not (gluten free). Usual mix of a burrito are rice, cheese, choice of protein, beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, and sour cream.
Of course you can omit things that you don't want or have some things on the side as you wish. Like I did with the burrito bowl, I omitted rice and sour cream because I don't like sour cream in nature, had pico de gallo and guacamole on the side.
Definitely lesser choices and variety than Chipotle, USA. But it's fairly close. Checkout their Instagram for their menu!
Choice of brown rice, wholewheat tortilla, and an add on of guacamole to make your food healthier and tastier.
Extra points for delicious pico de gallo and guacamole with the texture of a smooth ice cream! 😝 Food: 7/10 Price: 7/10 (RM 16.90 for both burrito and burrito bowl; extra charges - RM 3.90 for guacamole, RM 1.20 for whole wheat tortilla, RM 1.60 for brown rice)
It somehow reminds me of my mum's home cooked food. Definitely going back for more! #meibyfatspoon #comfortfood #burpple
Who wouldn't want a gorgeous cup of ice cream in this heat, right? Located within the hustle and bustle of Damansara Uptown, Softsrve specialises in soft-serve ice cream with various toppings. To keep your ice-cream cool while you slowly indulge in it, the cup is placed above a bigger cup filled with dried ice. Burpple Tastemaker Michelle Cheah enjoyed the Breakfast soft-serve from their five Cereal Milk options, which came with caramelised cereal and a macaron shell (RM12). If you've got space for more than one cup of ice cream, give their churros a try!
Run solely by Auntie Jeannie, this cafe offers a comforting environment for anyone who misses home. Located just off the busy Federal Highway, Houshuen was initially meant to be a tea house but soon became both a place for coffee and tea due to consumer demands. Despite being a tea lover, Auntie Jeannie makes thirst-quenching iced Americanos with Columbian beans, and also offers a variety of tea in pots. For now, enjoy Auntie Jeannie's own version of fried noodles with a peculiar yet scrumptious combination of pork lard, bean sprouts and petai. Expect new dishes on the menu after Chinese New Year!
Located just a stone's throw away from Awesome Canteen, Shokudo is a humble restaurant that aims to satisfy the cravings of every Japanese curry rice-lover. Indulge in their pork tonkatsu curry rice set, which only calls for an additional RM3 for a soup and salad. This hearty portion will keep you full all day! Green tea is self-service and free flow, just like how most cafes serve free water. Shokudo is a great place for groups considering its long tables and spaciousness!
This place is suited for small groups of friends who feel like catching up over a fine dinner. For small yet flavorful bites, Chef Nizam recommends the chicken bomb, smoked duck, rock lobster and the beef gyoza, all of which are the primary types of meat people usually go for. Unlike its first branch in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, this Torii branch has a bar upstairs -- the perfect way to wind down after a long day at work!
Satisfy your cravings at Go Thai, where you can get one-dish meals or a bowl of noodles that will instantly take you back to Thailand -- for just under RM10! Go for their moo ping, pork steaks which are beautifully saturated in its sweet and savory marinade, then grilled to perfection. Sink your teeth into these tender steaks and feel its juiciness claim all corners of your tastebuds. For a sweet, cooling dessert, their tub tim grob is very decent for its price of RM6, especially considering the generous amount of red and green rubies and jackfruit slices included!
Mad love with their sashimi bonito & mentai rice! #happytummy #burpple
This fairly new lunch-only outlet serves reasonably-priced seafood in the form of sashimi and grilled fish. In this unpretentious eatery, you can expect really fresh seafood, including sashimi favourites like ocean trout and bincho maguro. For something new, try their bonito sashimi (RM26), a fish not commonly seen in most Japanese restaurants. If an easy, satisfying meal is what you're after, get the teriyaki cod fish and make it a set. Tastemaker Sher Reen says, "well worth a visit if you're in Hartamas - prices are reasonable too (the ocean trout belly salmon in the middle cost us RM25)"!
Step into The Bread Shop and you'll be greeted by an array of baked goods, ranging from individual quiches to custard almond buns. As the first bakery in Malaysia to offer the Kouign Amann, they've done it just right. Buttery, flaky and crispy with a caramelised exterior, it's a pastry that you really want to treat yourself to. Make sure to get it when it's fresh out of the oven! Other popular items include the Banana Scotch, a pastry filled with banana and topped with caramel, and the Cinnamon Swirl.
Helmed by pastry chef Mei Wan Tan and restauranteur Marcus Low, The Kitchen Table boasts Mod American cuisine. It's the perfect marriage; operating as a bakery in the day and serving up sharing plates in the evening. The Raspberry Coconut Crack Slices are a zestier, lighter take on Momofuku Milk Bar's crack pie - they're supposed to be as good as crack. Their Fudgy Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies are particularly good as well! If you're not in a rush, enjoy a slice of a tin cake with coffee or tea in this bright, clean, airy space. It's almost as if everything is good here - even their rustic sourdough.
The Grumpy Cyclist is a bicycle-themed cafe in TTDI. From its decor to the magazines on display, this is a favourable stop for cyclists passing through the neighbourhood (they have showers for free!). They serve not only coffee, but also a variety of breakfast and lunch dishes to choose from - pancakes, big breakfast, pastas and more. Go for the Crespella (chocolate chip pancakes), or the Italian Mystery (banana pancakes with peanut butter); you won't regret it!
