Verbena cafe

来到古来,如果没试过当地著名的蛋糕店,就如没有真正到访一样。这次小弟初次到访古来,当然也不会空手而归,在食友的带路下,来到了IOI的店家。

踏入店内,零零总总的各式面包,蛋糕看到眼花缭乱,不禁惯性的拿出Iphone, 猛拍, 做日后参考。

左手边,有设定座位,可是店家却未开放,也没售卖饮料。 
面包的种类除了特别之外,也有卖一些比较欧式面包如Pretzel。 
正当在烦恼买那种面包时,食友Jiaming, 便建议我们买他本身最爱的红豆沙面包。结果,架子上的存货都给我们一扫而空了!
Jiaming 夫妇两,则选择了其他三个口味,mango cheese cake, original cheese cake, Chocolate honey mousse cake.
Mango Cheese cake, 和cheese cake, 个人觉得适合不太喜欢重cheese 味道的朋友。
味道(3.5/5)

听说这里的榴莲蛋糕是很出名的,可惜由于刚从榴莲圆吃了才来,实在无法在吃榴莲口味的。就选了一片Opera,来尝试。
Opera cake , 法式甜点,味道和Tiramisu,接近,verbena的这一片比较不合我口味,因为,我不太喜欢奶油味过重的。我个人偏向巧克力口味重点。味道(3/5)

Chocolate Honey Mousse cake 这个是当中最好吃的!巧克力入口即化,味道带有点hazelnut, 感觉像在吃Ferrero Rochelle 巧克力!赞! 味道(4/5)
买回去的面包也很令人满意,红豆面包,烘得软,而且陷多,口口满足!味道(4/5) 

价钱也很公道,值得再来!
来到蛋糕前,我又忍不住想买回新加坡,可惜碍于没有冷藏带.

Kin Wah kopitiam//锦华咖啡店

锦华咖啡,可说得上是新山区数一数二的传统咖啡店。无论是咖啡的浓度,香味。都非常符合海南咖啡的特色,配上两片新鲜,烤好的kaya roti.. 此乃人生一大享受。唯一的投诉,就是太多人了,一席难求。
Jing Hua kopitiam, could be considered as one of the few Kopitiam that serves authentic Hainanese Kopi in JB. It's coffee's aroma, and texture, eating it together with Kaya roti Toast..is simply heavenly enjoyment..My only complain about this place? its simply too crowded..and limited seating capacity.
Corner Kopitiam..its easy to spot it.

This is just crowded and small the kopitiam is

Kaya with Butter toast..yummy

Kopi ..my favourite


食物Food:4/5 推荐海南早餐三宝,kopi , roti, 鸡蛋
服务Service:2/5 收钱的老板娘不是很友善
环境Env:3/5 太多人,不过很古色古香
价钱Price:1.40 kopi 面包价钱忘了。
整体Overall:3.8/5

Maco cafe & Bakery

Maco Cafe, 这个品牌,可能很多人有点陌生,但是,一提到Sugar & flour, 马上有人联想到千层蛋糕。基本上,如果你是喜欢吃甜点的人,应该来尝试一下。因为,不是很多地方有卖这种蛋糕。
Cafe的位置,就在五福城的天之雨旁边,地方算蛮宽敞明亮,的确是个喝下午茶的好地点。唯一美中不足的部分在于没有舒适的沙发椅,只有一般的餐桌椅。食物和饮料,我点了那里人气第一的栗子蛋糕和个人最爱的cuppincino.

Menu

Cafe's Interior

Wall Decal

 主角来了,栗子蛋糕,个人没吃过马六甲的Nadeje,所以,只能以个人口味写评,口感很好,架在一层一层的栗子cream,让人不会觉得很腻。但是,如果把栗子的味道加强,然后,甜度减低点相信,味道会更上一层楼。 味道 3.8/5

咖啡,一看马上让人想起Justwant cafe, 参考这里。 喝了一口后, 马上肯定,味道一模一样。但是,拉花比较漂亮。听说,这家cafe和justwantcafe 的老板是一样的,看来消息属实。 味道 3.5/5
Biscotti , is nice.

除了,蛋糕外,他们也提供其他食品。

食物 Food:3.8/5 个人觉得比起justwant 这里蛋糕选择比较多,咖啡味道一样。所以,得分较高。
服务 Service:3.5/5 友善
价钱Price: RM 8.90 for cake, RM 7 for coffee
整体Overall: 3.8/5

Cestino Bakery, Bistro

咖啡文化洗卷JB,可说是Cafe开了一间再一间。新开的Cestino,
位于Tebrau Jusco 后面的那排店屋。
地点,虽然不算差,但是也不容易给人察觉到。
之前,有人在forum说到这家Green Tea Tiramisu 非常好吃,
所以顺道去尝尝看。

Cafe Culture is really booming in JB, with more and more new start up cafes.
Cestino is located just behind Jusco carpark, A row of shop houses.
.They take pride in their signature dessert
Green Tea Tiramisu...So here I'am having a taste of their dessert.

Rm 9.90 Green Tea Tiramisu, 没有酒精味道,也吃不出绿茶味。Mascarpone cheese
味道有点太浓,感觉有点cheesy, 吃多有点腻,没有使用手指饼,但是胜在口感软,吃起来还不错。At first bite, the Tiramisu lacks the taste of green tea as well as coffee liquor..makes one wonder why it is called Green tea in the first place, the Mascarpone cheese is a bit over, and get a bit cheesy. But overall it is worth eating. Food:3.2/5
RM5.90 Cappucino illy expresso blend 味道不苦,大众化。Illy's coffee..medium roast with low caffeine  Food 3/5
Rm 9.90 Double chocolate with ice cream 其实就是brownie.味道太甜
巧克力可以选择较苦的会更好吃。Not too goo in my opinion, too sweet..Food 2.5/5
RM 6.90 Ice blend Moccha 没喝到。No comments, cos did't manage to drink it.

Total Damage

Food 食物:2.9/5 整体,可以接受,不过还有待进步。Average taste, room for improvement.
Env 环境:3/5 简单装修,店面太明亮,椅子不够舒适。店面,对着停车场有点大杀风景。Decor is simple, and the full glass decor makes it too bright and un-cosy. Plus with a view of the carpark..not that pleasing.
Pricing 价钱:3/5 没有服务费,以cafe价钱算便宜。No service charges ! consider affordable for cafe.
Service 服务:3.5/5 服务亲切。Prompt and friendly
Overall 整体:3/5 属于比较普通的cafe。Pretty Average

Just Want Cafe

从外观来看,Just Want Cafe,就像在台湾某处的一个小咖啡馆。店面的座位不多不过麻雀虽小五脏俱全。
如果对咖啡泡制有兴趣的人,建议可以坐在吧台,顺便和老板Nelson聊一聊咖啡经。
JustWant, 可说是Jb第一家,咖啡专卖店,开始创业的是两位留学台湾的年轻人。
凭着对咖啡的热忱在JB开这类中高消费的咖啡馆需要相当大勇气。
因为,Jb 并没有很浓的咖啡文化,加上平均消费能力不高,一杯7.7rm的咖啡不是
每个人可以接受的价位。
如今,justwant, 不但开阔了新市场,也带起了Jb咖啡文化,造就更多的咖啡馆如Maco cafe, yardely
一路走来确实不易。
早期自家烤咖啡豆的justwant, 已经不再自己炒咖啡豆,而选用烤好现成的咖啡豆。其中的Espresso beans, 来自新加坡著名的
Highlander coffee.
在这里,你也可以尝到Luwak, 狸猫咖啡,全球最贵的咖啡豆。
我一如往常,点了杯最爱的Cuppicino慢慢享受着下午的慵懒。
Frontage looks contemporary,  the same cant be said for its neighbors

Small seating capacity, cosy is another word

Bar counter allows you to see 1st hand on the barista's skills

cappuccino anyone?
Selection is limited, and they dun bake their own cakes...
From the exterior of Justwant cafe, one would quickly forgotten that you are actually in JB. This small cafe is the brain child of 2 young man whom studies in Taiwan, which explains their coffee style presentation, renovation eludes a more oriental approach. They do serve ice drip coffee and Luwak, currently the most expensive coffee you could find.
As the pioneer in specialty coffee, it is risky to bring in such business model into JB as,
A) there isn't a huge coffee culture in JB
B) the affordability issues of most working class would find a 7 RM coffee expensive compare to your Kopitiam goodness 1.40 rm kopi.
After a short span of 1 year, they not only succeed in educating their customers about coffee appreciation, there was even a series of cafe's opening as a result of their efforts. Kudos.
One thing to take note, their espresso beans also carries the Singapore Highlander brand.

个人评语/ Verdict
Food食物:3/5 coffee espresso blend is acceptable, but still prefer my usual place.
Env环境:4/5
Price价钱:7rm 10%service charge
Service服务:4/5 老板非常亲切。Prompt and attentive, the boss is friendly and approachable
Overall整体:3/5 美中不足的是蛋糕选择不多。lacks selection of cakes

Min Corner

Simple frontage...
Hakka Cai Ban, 2 favours, Jiu cai and suan ( Leek)..not bad but skin not thin enough
The Beng kuih skin is too thick, but the carrot cake is surprisingly not bad

and smell
