Coffee Chemistry Cafe @ Sunway Giza, PJ

Positioned itself as serving world's finest coffee, and being the 1st that brings in 'Graffeo' coffee to Malaysia, Coffee Chemistry Cafe, or better known as CCC, does set itself apart from other cafe. And I find it quite an interesting combination, that this cafe shares the same space with HTC and Digi..So those who come for HTC and Digi, may possibly be CCC's customer, and vice versa.

The eateries at Sunway Giza has bloomed of late (unlike earlier days where it was relatively quiet), and to find this place, one should look out for MOVIDA (
CCC is located inside Cubic Platform, above MOVIDA), next to Full House.

Graffeo was founded in 1935 on the streets of San Francisco's Italian culinary capital, North Beach. Graffeo is one of North America's oldest artisan coffee roasters serving rich, dark, fresh roasted beans.
Malaysians are surely blessed by entrepreneur that brings in products that is different from what's already in the market.

As you enter, you will see lots of HTC products on display.

After we ordered, we have some time to kill, so took some shots, here and there.

Love the classy signage of Graffeo

There is also a HTC training room, with meeting in progress

Me, sis, and her daughters

My nieces, posing with their food... yumms yumms...

I took the set lunch that came with option of either black coffee or ice lemon tea, with choices of main. The coffee was a strong thick coffee, with good coffee aroma. I will surely come back again for its coffee, that comes with coffee art, as I've seen many impressive 'designs' on CCC's Facebook page..

Black coffee

This was the spaghetti that came as part of my set lunch choice. This mushroom spaghetti is surely a winner. Not only it came with lots of mushroom, and big chunks of garlic, this plate of spaghetti really has this super intense strong aroma - garlicky, and tasty to the max. Good choice !

Mushroom Spaghetti.

We also ordered the Ham, Tomato & Cheese (stands for 'HTC') wrap. Every bite out of this tortilla wrap was filled with lots of goodies. A healthy choice, yet yummy.

The homemade mushroom soup was delicious too... Right thickness, with lots of finely cut mushroom.

Took the cafe specialty, of their homemade chicken mushroom puff pie. This pie version was rather different.


It came with creamy mushroom sauce, and chicken, and mushroom. We just didn't like the slight sourish taste inside, despite the crunchy flaky crust.

After filling our stomach, we felt more relaxed, and walked around the cafe, a bit.

Very cute bear, branded with HTC branding

Also, soft toy of the very popular Angry Bird, and other characters

Being located at upper floor, it wasn't too convenient, for sis to have carried the stroller up the stairs...and thanks to a gentleman which is HTC's staff, for offering himself, to carry the stroller down, after we finished :)

Oriental Cravings @ One Utama, PJ

This was one of the restaurant that I frequented, when I was working at Tropicana, about 6 years ago. Wanting to touch base as to, if the food here still taste as good, suggested to Eug to have dinner here. He gladly complied, even though he was here during lunch time. Wah! So nice of him. Maybe that's the beauty of meeting up old friends once a while.. Hehe!

Oriental Cravings. Never fail to have good crowd.

I wanted to try their cendol. And surprisingly, my first scoop of this shaved ice into my mouth, I immediately voiced out 'soooo nice, wor!'.. It has the really thick gula melaka, sufficient coconut milk, soft cendol, and I liked the ice that has this slightly 'harder' texture. Overall, PASS!

Cendol. Price-RM4.90

We also really liked this lotus root with petai, with chunks of garlic, stir fried to perfection. The lotus root retained its crunchiness, and the minced pork that went with it, added extra aroma to this dish. Yummy! I will order this again the next I'm here.

Lotus Root Petai. Price-RM16.90

The golden beancurd was as perfect as I last had it years ago. The ultra soft texture beancurd, wrapped around by this thin layer of crispy beancurd skin, topped with the extremely topping, made-up of dried prawn, minced meat, and radish. It was seriously, aromatic, to the max!

Golden Beancurd. Price-RM11.90

As for meat, we opted for chicken with rice wine, the soupy version. This claypot of tender chicken, came with fried egg, black fungus, and cooked with light rice wine, was just the right order we made. Hot and soupy, it went just so well with the overall dish and rice we were having. Well, guess I just love rice wine.

Rice Wine Chicken. Price-RM26.90

Eug & I . Lucky Eug still can smile, despite having to solve his many issues (which comes as a package of being in advertising industry) over the phone.

I can't wait to be back again, to Oriental Cravings. I also remember that their oatmeal prawn was absolutely delicious too.. Will have this the next time I'm here.
