Good Friends @ Subang SS15

A Good Place for the Good Buddies

A weekend catch up session with our besties is an amazing thing. Thereof, a great venue with cordial ambiance would be critical to complement the entire outing session. Good Friends restaurant & cafe, previously was operating in Ara Damansara, is now relocated to Subang SS15 (middle part, same row as the Starbucks Coffee).




Good Friends cafe is a great place where we could hangout with a bunch of good buddies. What makes us feel comfy to dine here is its homey, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere.
Very spacious, comfy environment..
Thoughtful facilities set up for the kids ;D

Good Friends serves "East meets West" food where different kinds of Asian & Western food could be found here. Besides than the ordinary brunch menu, there are sandwiches, waffles, pastas, rice, meat stuff, etc.
Nevertheless, there is afternoon tea set for 2 (RM39) available from 2pm-6pm:
scones, brownies, fruit tarts, smoked salmon sandwiches,
garden salad, and coffee/tea.


Coffee beans with smooth fragrance are used in brewing the coffees, nonetheless, they are available for sale too.


The extraordinary part of their coffee selections is that they offer different brewing & serving methods that could best satisfy our coffee preferences respectively. There are hand drip, syphon, as well as french press methods of brewing coffees. Additionally, the ice coffee without ice for girls who would always do that for their beverages. xD


Cakes and scones are displayed for sale, and they sell kuih batik too. 


What else astonished me is that they produce their house branded products for sale. For instance, the soy sauce, Sarawak white peppercorn, and homemade jam.


Good coffee like normal cafes do. 
Cappuccino (RM9)
Latte (RM9)
and... I like their ginger honey tea! ;D




Trio mushroom soup (RM8) is good enough that it is a creamy bodied real mushroom soup. 
Else, you could go for the pumpkin soup or seafood soup.
Very rich, flavourful seafood soup.


Baked eggs (RM16) is baked with mixed vegetables and sausages, seasoned with their homemade tomato sauce, and topped with great amount of cheese. It is a cheese baked egg concept instead of the cheese baked rice.

What else to order for an egg lover? I'm not pizza is another awesome plate that combines omelette with the pizza concept. It is an omelette fried with salmon (optional), cauliflowers, cheese & capsicums, zero carbs as no flour was added! ;D



Another popular plate of Good Friends is the waffle. Good Friends does not serve the ordinary kind of waffle with ice cream, they have the beef bacon & egg waffle, chocolate banana waffle, fruits waffle, and the jackfruits waffle instead. 
Here's the breakkie waffle (RM14) - fluffy waffle with fruits
(strawberries, passion fruits, peaches) topped with homemade jam & nuts.



The french toast (RM15) here is pretty good. Thick cut brioche is coated with eggs, served along with the caramelised bananas, berries, raisins, and toasted almonds. Sweetness overloads in this toast but it is awesome.



Varieties of pastas are prepared by Good Friends to fix everyone's preferences. There are white and red sauced pastas served with blue mussels, chickens, beefs, or prawns. Furthermore, it is thoughtful that they have not forgotten to specifically design some vegetarian meals (V) for the vegetarians.
The farmer's pasta (RM14) - stir fried penne with different colours of veggies.


There are other choices for the Asians such as the grilled chicken and salmon, Chinese wine chicken mee sua, and basil prawn fried rice. Otherwise, u could go for the Japanese fusion kind of miso grilled chicken (RM16) with a mix of fried soba and miso honey sauced grilled chicken. 

For the "carnivores", mixed grill would be your best pick! =P
Generous amount of flavoursome grilled salmon & chicken


Last but not least, they do provide customised catering service for special occasions.

RT Cafe @ Subang SS15

Bread + Coffee = Delicious ! =P

Since everyone is having a coffee fever nowadays, the famous RT Pastry House came out with a great idea to further satisfy their customers' needs. Months ago, they have taken over the next door to commence their coffee business.


RT Cafe is now associated with its pastry house next to the Public Bank in Subang SS15.

RT Cafe has nature-themed design with the wooden bricks wall, furniture from tree logs, and the pot culture.




It could be seen that this is an expansion of the RT business which is focusing on serving nice coffee. It is a simple yet innovative business concept to merge with its former pastry house.
Coffee/tea, soft drinks, ice blended, etc...


SereniTEA organic teas are available for the tea lovers.


The only food selling in the counter are the readymade cakes, salads and sandwiches.


Nonetheless, you could grab any food from the nextdoor pastry house to have it here (pay there and eat here =P).
Pretty looking caramel mousse from the RT Pastry House.


Apart from the pastries, RT Cafe has recently introduced the classic spaghetti in their cafe.


Coffees are mild with milkier taste.
Cappuccino for the foam lovers...


Latte for the milk lovers...

AND

Mocha for the chocolate lovers...


The special one - Nutella cappuccino:
Nutella is coated around the glass & the proper way of drinking it is..
Use the spoon to get some nutella into ur mouth,
only you sip the cappuccino.


Of course, not forgetting to take away my all time favourite green tea cake bread from the RT Pastry House
RT green tea cake bread & polo bun! Yumms..!

Address: B5-G, Jalan SS15/4D, 47500 Kampong Baru Subang, Selangor, Malaysia.

Flat White @ Subang SS15

Flat white in the Flat White..

Ever since amount of cafes has grown tremendously in Klang Valley, brunch has become an essential part of it. Flat white is one of the cafes in Subang SS15 that serves brunches apart from the cakes. It is a good place for the Taylor-ians & Inti-ians to chill since it is strategically located same row as the Starbucks Coffee (upstairs).


Walking upwards the stairs, you can see the great effort and creativity they put on designing the cafe. 



Flat White cafe has wooden, classy interior design that makes us feel comfy to stay up longer. However, during peak hours in the weekends, there is always not enough capacity to occupy too much customers where empty tables are only available at the outdoor smoking area. 




The classic design of Flat White is the periodic table of coffee drawn on the black board.
What kind of flavour are you more into?


A strong feeling of returning back to the old school times, everything is chalk written on the black board. ;D
Grab your cup of coffee by referring to the menu on board.
The special flvaours of coffee..


For tea lovers, Dilmah brand of tea packs are serving here.


Besides than the compulsory cup of coffee, Flat White serves various kinds of breakfast, pasta, and sandwich.

   They offer a promotion on brunch set too (not sure if it is still available now)
- same price but in portion of 2 and comes with 2 drinks.



As usual, cakes for the dessert lovers..




We have the Daily Express at home & Flat White has their own version of Flatwhite Daily. A great round of applause should be given for their artistic work! xP
 

Flat White has good coffee but not in the top list of my coffee preference.
Cappuccino
Flat white
Latte
Piccolo latte


For the all day breakfast, you could choose either to go for the American / European / Mediterranean / Tunisian / Canadian.
American breakfast for 2 comes with the scramble eggs,
beef bacon, chicken chipolata, sauteed button mushrooms,
 hash brown, grilled vines tomatoes, and signature toast.
Nothing different from the normal big breakfast.
Tunisian for 2 is a sizzling pan of dice tomato, onions, and red capsicums,
flooded over the chicken sausages and sunny side up eggs,
served with the signature toast.
This is uniquely nice and not as boring as having the normal kind of breakfast.
The tomato-ish gravy is superb!


Pastas are good enough but nothing much to shout about.
Aglio olio pasta
Carbonara with beef bacon 


There are plenty of cafes in Subang SS15, but for a good brunch, Flat White would be one of my preferable options. It might not be the best brunch I had, but the special kinds of breakfast would be the point for me to go for it.

Of course, a great environment with nice setting would be another point to retain my visit. ;P
