The Black Cat Cafe at Sentul, KL – A highly rated vegetarian restaurant in the area

Scoring an average of 4.7 out of 5 from over 450 reviewers, it is evident that The Black Cat Cafe enjoys considerable popularity and is highly regarded for its vegetarian offerings. I have been informed that the meatless dishes served here are notably palatable and closely resemble their meat counterparts. As I was intrigued to experience this for myself, i opted to drop by for a visit.

The color palette of the eatery is visually soothing. However, its decor is comprised of an eclectic assortment of items, including a variety of cat figures, paintings depicting Indian-themed women, travel motifs, and spiritual elements, among others. There does not appear to be a singular cohesive theme; rather, the decor presents a medley of items that collectively contribute positively to the overall ambiance of the cafe.

Moringa Lime, RM 10.90 + Lemonade, RM 9.90

Rarely have I encountered a restaurant offering a selection of Moringa beverages. Moringa is renowned for its nutritional benefits, serving as a valuable source of vitamins, contributing to the maintenance of optimal heart health, and aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels, among other advantages. While typically bitter in flavor, this establishment has successfully crafted a drink reminiscent of a blend between apple and celery juice. The acidity from the lime provided a pleasing complement to the other ingredients. Although I would normally request a ‘less sweet’ variant of a drink, the sugar syrup added in this instance was proportionate and enhanced the overall experience of the drink. It is indeed a delightful concoction.

The lemonade exhibited a thicker consistency than is typical; however, it proved to be quite refreshing. It was certainly not the customary method of simply squeezing a lemon, adding a piece of it to the drink, and serving it. This preparation was distinctly unique.

Satay Vegan, RM 15.90

I ordered this dish as an appetizer. At first glance, the price of RM 15.90 for five skewers of satay may seem somewhat excessive; however, the ‘vegetarian’ version has consistently been priced at double or even triple that of its meat counterpart. The flavors of the satay were exquisite, and I appreciated the subtle undertones of curry-like spices in every bite. However, if I am not mistaken, a mushroom base was utilized in this preparation, and I generally favor a soy-based satay due to my preference for its texture and superior ability to retain flavors. Nonetheless, the overall flavor of the satay was delightful.

Char Kuey Teow, RM 14.90

This dish was quite enjoyable. The flavors were good, and its presentation was appealing. I did not feel the absence of meat while consuming it; however, I must concede that a bullseye egg placed atop the noodles would have elevated the dish to a superior level. Lol.

Would I revisit The Black Cat Cafe? If I am in the area and favor a vegetarian meal, then yes, I will. I’ve heard good things about the Tandoori Paneer Pizza served here and I intent to try it next.

Fish & Chips brand from Singapore Fish and Chips Lad & Dad at Wisma Cosway KL Lemonade Pork Free Wisma Cosway food

Lad & Dad at Wisma Cosway, KL – Fish & Chips (pork free)

I was in the area for a meeting and once concluded, it was an opportune moment for lunch, as Wisma Cosway was conveniently situated nearby. If you have previously visited, you would be aware that a selection of food options is available there, ranging from Western and Japanese to Chinese, Mamak, desserts, and more.

After walking around and weighing my options, I decided to have lunch at Lad & Dad, a Singaporean brand serving Fish & Chips. (FYI – there is another popular fish & Chips eatery here, Boys Don’t Fry – Boys Dont Fry at Wisma Cosway KL)

Menu

Classic Perch Fish & Chips, RM 29.90

The batter that enveloped the fish sure was something. It exhibited a crunchiness; upon piercing it with a fork, it crumbles. Although its texture was not my preferred choice, it was fortunate that it was generously seasoned. This enabled me to scoop it up, dip it into the accompanying sauces, and savor each bite. Five dip options were available—four sauces and mushy peas—and one could select two. I went for the popular combination of Tartar Sauce and the unique Sambal Aioli, which offered a tartar flavor enhanced by the taste and spiciness of sambal.

The fish was delightful, both independently and when dipped into the accompanying sauces. Additionally, the dish featured a serving of fries, available in both thick and thin cuts. I chose the thick cut version and it was delicious. All in all, although the texture of the fish was not my favorite, it was an enjoyable dish.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary of the Singapore outlet, drinks were free. I got to enjoy a cup of refreshing lemonade smoothie.

Address: G 30, Ground Floor, Wisma Cosway. Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur.

Boys Don’t Fry at Wisma Cosway, Kuala Lumpur – Fish & Chips (Pork free)

We recently had the opportunity to dine at the popular establishment located in Wisma Cosway, which specializes exclusively in ONE offering: Fish & Chips. Originally named Lad & Fry, it garnered significant popularity; however, it permanently closed shortly after its initial launch. Not too long later, they reopened and renamed Boys Don’t Fry.

The restaurant is situated in a modest corner shop lot on the Ground Floor. Currently open exclusively for lunch, with plans to extend operating hours to include breakfast in the near future, one can anticipate a bustling atmosphere, particularly during weekdays. Office folks from upstairs frequently visit to enjoy the fish and chips. Fortunately, tables empty quickly, ensuring that customers do not have to wait long for seating.

Menu

Boys Don’t Fry only offers ONE dish – Fish & Chips Set.

Fish & Chips Set, RM 38

The Fish & Chips Set comprises a fillet encased in a crisp exterior woth a good portion of fish filling, served atop a bed of chips/fries. This Set is accompanied by a side of homemade tartar sauce, mashed peas, pickled radish and cucumber. Additionally, a Lemonade is included. Food was good, particularly the fish. The delicate, crispy outer layer provided a pleasurable contrast upon biting.

The downside with this Set is that it is accompanied by a fixed quantity of items. Personally, I prefer the classic serving of fish and chips, which includes fish and chips paired with tartar sauce. This portion is filling in itself. I found the sides to be too much, and I had to compel myself to finish them because I spent RM 38 for it. So, it would be great if the option to choose between including or excluding the sides were made available.

Overall, the quality of the food was good. However, I am unlikely to return for another visit. Wisma Cosway is situated at a considerable distance from my location, and I can reasonably find alternative restaurants serving similar dishes in closer proximity. Furthermore, I would prefer to forgo the side dishes, which renders the RM 38 spent excessive. Therefore, I am unlikely to revisit Boys Don’t Fry.

Address: 74, Ground Floor, Wisma Cosway, Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur.

Opening hours: Mondays to Saturdays, 11 am to 2.45 pm.

Chicken Nugget Don Kimchi Tuna Melt Lemonade Lunch set new 2022 Open Daily Pork Free Rice Bowl Sourdough

Third Mile Cafe at Rivercity, Sentul – Goood 👌

I am one who very rarely visit Sentul. The only reason I do so is to visit my favorite dim sum shop or to catch up with my friend, who lives in the area. This time, it was the latter and she picked a place to meet, Third Mile. This was how I ended up here.

In case you do not know, Rivercity is a development in the middle of Sentul that includes a condominium and a business park next to it. This business park includes several low density blocks that is home to cafes, restaurants, offices, grocer and much more. There are plenty of parking spots all around the blocks, at a rate of RM 1.50 per hour. If you are headed to Third Mile Cafe, do look out for Block G.

Menu

Chicken Nugget Don, RM 23 + Kimchi Tuna Melt, RM 23

Both of us decided to go for the set lunch option. I wanted to have rice and so, the rice bowl was a perfect choice for me. I wasn’t too excited about the chicken nugget though. I assumed that it would be the usual chicken nuggets – western style but since it was on the list of Lunch Specials, it must be good, right?

It was good. You’d get 7 pieces of boness chicken with Japanese mayo sprinkle, rice, picked vegetables and greens. The combination of all the items was delicious. I especially loved the chicken nuggets. It was flavorful and yummy to bite into.

The Kimchi Tuna Melt was what my friend went for. It sure did look good, got my tummy rumbling. Biting into it though, while my friend loved it but I did not. Why? The kimchi. It did not lick the vinegar-ish taste it exuded. It was rather peculiar. I suppose if you are a kimchi fan, you’d love it but I never liked it. My friend loved it. It was buttery sourdough, with a good portion of 4 cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, swiss and emmental) and kimchi. It is worth ordering if you are interested to try something a little different from the usual. A plus if you also like kimchi.

** The lunch sets also come with a glass of lemonade.

Would I head back here? If I find myself in this side of time, yea, I would not mind dropping by again.

Address: Lot G-17, Block G, Rivercity, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.
