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 88 - Great weekend with Descendant of The Sun

Curiosity kicked in when I came across the news about how Korean drama has brought such a huge impact to someone's life especially in China. And the Korean dramas that is being highlighted is "Descendant of The Sun". 

Photo credit: www.viki.com

On last Friday night, I thought of having a me-time after having dinner with my friend in a Korean restaurant. After I washed up, I googled for this Korean drama and thereafter, I saw myself watching the first episode. Instantly, I got hooked up with this Korean drama - It managed to drag me into this whole Korean fictional romance yet exciting story. I immersed deeply and ensured that I watched all the episodes that have been aired till today.

But seriously..Though I am a fan of Lee Min-Ho, he didn't manage to pull me into the Korean fantasy world. Unlike this drama, it did. Somehow, I have to give credit to the Korean Entertainment industry - this Korean drama is filmed with the right angle, combining with the right music that enliven the whole story line.

Few factors that I found out about this Korean drama that may have won the heart of many are:

1. The story line

Though the drama is now up to Episode 8 only, the scriptwriter has done a brilliant work. We may have watched tons of dramas or movies where featured occupations like doctors, lawyers, businessmen and etc but how often do we see the story line between a soldier and a doctor? I am not sure about the rest but I find that this story is a bit unique in a way as compared to other Korean dramas. 

2. The main actor - Song Joongki (acts as Captain Yoo Si-Jin)

I got to know him (I mean his name) when my sister told me that he was with Running Man before this. After that, he had to join the military service for 2 years which leads to my point that he is the right person to portray this character. With his experience that he had during the 2 years, it helps him to bring out the character in a better way.

3. The artistic way of filming

This time, I realized that the director is good in terms of catching the close shot rather than a broad shot as the overall. The expression of the actors and actresses' eyes are being highlighted clearly, demonstrating the emotions of theirs in that particular scenario. Words are unspoken but the conversation is issued via the eyes - what's more when it goes aligned with the songs that play perfectly with the flow.

Oh well, this is merely my perspective only - there is no right and wrong. Up till now, I have to wait patiently for every 2 episodes to be released on Friday. Now, I hope time flies...Haha!

Till then, Happy Sunday!
