Chapter 99 - Reminisce Descendant of the Sun at dal.komm coffee at Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya

A cup of coffee and a slice of cake accompanied by background music is what you need the most, marking the beginning of a short break. Celebrating the Raya Eve, bestie and I headed to dal.komm coffee at Damansara Uptown - a place where I have longed to go since the airing of Descendant of the Sun.

Like a bubbly child, I happily entered this cafe, reminiscing every single moment where Captain Yoo had with Dr Kang in this place. What makes me more excited is no other than seeing a photo shoot area where the "girlfriends" of Captain Yoo and Sergeant Seo Dae-Young are happily greeting the guests. 

I smiled. This was just perfect! Alas..How I wish I could bring the dolls back...

                      

Salute, Captain!

While I was excited with all these, bestie was at the counter, ready to order some drinks. Some of the drinks caught my attention and I opted for Bubbling Cappuccino whereas bestie ordered Chocola' deShake. We too ordered a slice of New York Cheese cake to journey the rest of the evening.

Chocola' deShake and Bubbling Cappuccino

There are two floors (referring to dal.komm coffee at Damansara Uptown). Suggested to sit on the first floor to have a better view. However, as many people flock to the first floor, the place will eventually become stuffy and hot. Like myself and bestie, although we prefer to have our coffee at the first floor, we decided to just stay at the ground floor as it is less noisier (since there was a huge crowd on that day) and it is colder.

At the first floor, if diners are bored, they can play around with a couple of iPads pre-loaded with a variety of songs. Simply put the headphones and enjoy the music tunes as you enjoy the view out there. 

Food and beverage 

                  

Chocola' deShake (RM18.90)

Looks tempting - the ice cream is good! However, we do not really fancy much once we start to drink it. This is because the ices that are used are course and rough instead of a finer ice, causing the chocolate taste to be diluted. Is this how the shake is in Korea?

Bubbling Cappuccino RM 14.90)

Nice presentation! How am I supposed to drink it with the chocolate powder on it? I took a sip of it while handling the drink with a very careful manner. Yumm...Both coffee and chocolate taste are not that strong hence, they blend pretty well here.

                  

New York Cheese Cake (RM13.50)

Delicious! Cheese taste is so strong and it truly melts in my mouth. This cake is comparatively good like the ones that I had in Royal Selangor. Suits people who love cheese.

Other than these, there are other offerings too like pastries, cakes, toasts and popular Bingsu. I have no idea why but lots of people actually ordered Bingsu - a cup of shaved ice dessert that is served in a number of ways, be it in terms of flavors or toppings. Suggest to try it with a group of friends rather than having it all by yourself. By the way, you can help yourself with a cup of warm water at pick-up counter at anytime you want.

Chapter 75 - Hokkien Mee @ Damansara Uptown

Dream came true when I got to pamper myself with the best Hokkien Mee at Damansara Uptown for 2 days consecutively.

Hokkien Mee needs no introduction as it is one of the famous dishes among the Chinese community where it is cooked with dark soy sauce. I personally have tried this dish in a number of places but sadly to say, most of the Hokkien Mee does not carry the “wok hei” taste – in fact, Hokkien Mee must be cooked over a high flame in order to bring the authentic taste. Most importantly, pork lard has to be cooked together, giving a slight oily texture as well as fragrant smell.

Suitable to be eaten during dinner or even supper, Hokkien Mee in Damansara Uptown has never failed to appease my appetite.

Fried Hokkien Mee (1pax) - RM 9.00

Fried Hokkien Mee (2pax) - RM 17.00

Fried in thick dark soy sauce gravy, the thick yellow noodles appear to be slightly wet. Nonetheless, the chef is quite generous with the ingredients especially pork lard. If you feel that the pork lard is not enough, you can opt for extra with minimal charges.

Feeling guilty for throwing so much of fatty food into our bodies, we ordered a plate of greenies as well as a bowl of pork soup. Vegetables are crunchy and the pork soup with generous amount of pork is a good complement dish to go with this Chinese food.

Cai Dan Vegetable (2 pax) - RM 15.00

Pork Soup (1pax) - RM 9.50

The following day itself, we ordered Hokkien Mee again, a plate of fried rice, fried la-la, greenies, Cantonese Fried Ying Yong as well as Hokkien Mi Hun.

I must say thumbs up to all these dishes – I couldn’t find any reason not to like their food as the dishes certainly leave us in awe. Enough wok-hei for the fried rice though we had to wait for about 10 minutes, fried la-la is spicy yet appetizing which is good for those who love spicy food and Hokkien Mi Hun is a different variation as to Hokkien Mee. Sad that I did not manage to capture an image of Hokkien Mi Hun since everyone took their portion immediately upon food’s arrival.

Fried La-la (big) - RM 28.00

Cantonese Fried Ying Yong (2 pax) - RM 17.00

Fried Rice (2 pax) - RM 17.00 

Ps: Picture was taken halfway when everyone took their share of it.

If you are looking for some Chinese food to have, this is one of the must-try places. However, do bear in mind that their menu is rather limited so, do not expect to have sweet and sour la, steam fish la, fried sotong la or etc.
