Namoo | publika

Welcome to Namoo! A korean dessert cafe & bistro.
Here you'll find very asian flavours like rice cakes and things with sweet potato.
ヾ(○⌒∇⌒○)ﾉ *

Namoo is this new Korean cafe that just opened in Publika, right above MPH.
I actually saw Namoo on someone's instagram in the morning ( I love instagram!) and had gone to check it out for tea the very same day. (⌒o⌒)

It's right in front of the park! Which is great for families with kids, who can alternate between eating and playing with their kids in the park.
Kinda like a picnic, with proper tables. ヾ(*´∀｀*）ノ
Also, for people with no kids, because it's scenic.....and you can creepily stare at families who...uhm alternate between eating...and playing with their kids in the park..(yeaaa)

It's nice, a cosy place to get work done/study.
Just like alot of restaurants now, it has the woody-cement floor-rustic-ish vibe.
I wonder if it's owned by PlanB/Journal/Bens, they have the exact same chairs, lighting fixtures, colour scheme and even windows hmm.
Oh right, about the food....

Here I am looking very pleased with my cake.
I think it was the wooden board they served it on #easilyexcited

Pumpkin Cake + Ice cream and a Sweet Potato Latte.

I love cake! and always feel bad digging into 2 (sometimes 3 *blush*) helpings of moist chocolatey cake with drippy sauce melting over it, oozing onto the plate ..ahem.
Maybe psychological la (because there's the word "pumpkin" in it) but the Pumpkin cake makes me feel less guilty heh, like I'm enjoying a cake and it's healthy.

It's pumpkin-sweet, not too sweet. Like pumpkin pie with a kinda creamy texture, minus the crusty bits.With yummy crushed nuts on the top.

The sweet potato latte,
I was thinking "wow, how do they manage to make coffee and sweet potato go together?! "
There wasn't any coffee inside. #feelsabitcheated
It's more of a sweet potato puree, or rather that chinese peanut tong sui thing but with sweet potato.
But also pretty good!**

Btw, they also serve salads, soups and rice burgers.So not just dessert!

Here! I found you a place to get work done/ study! :)

// I just googled and saw pics of their Sticky Green Tea Waffle.
Looks s'goood. Will save that for my next visit.

* I added asian keyboard expressions for emphasis! ☆d(o⌒∇⌒o)b
ps. I actually googled these. I tried making my own but they were pretty pathetic #failasian.

** I don't reccommend eating them together, too creamy and mushy together.

I just felt like eating something crunchy and savoury after that.. Like Uncle bob's/XXL Chicken.

Kennedy's @ Kota Damansara

I've been wanting to go to Kennedy's ever since I saw it online, maybe beginning of the year?
But every single time without fail, IT WILL BE CLOSED!

Went there one afternoon, closed! thought, hmm probably only opens at night. Went there one night and found out it closes every Monday night. *fliptable!*

I actually had gone all the way to Kota Damansara at least 3 or 4 times just to try Kennedy's out! (always closed) Now finally...finally..finally...finally, half a year later, here it is:

If you're wondering why you haven't seen it eventhough you frequent Kota Damansara, it's probably because it's on the "unhappening" side of KD, where there's no bubble tea(s)...or snowflake. In fact, it's pretty hard to find, and if you go there at night, it's probably the only shop in the row that's open.

I love it there! It's got this very American-Captain America vibe to it! Alot like Betty's!

Prices aren't so bad, only thing is Betty's probably wins in variety. Everything in their menu was BBQ sauceyfied. So good news for BBQ sauce lovers..but I'm not that big a fan. :(

One thing,
I'm always paranoid that restaurants with little customers keep their food for forever and everything won't be fresh, and my burger will be overcooked, topped off with a dry bun and my coleslaw will be warm!! (worst thing ever : warm coleslaw!)

But it was good! We ordered pork chop with beer marinade which was not hard nor dry lol. That had an evident beer taste, and was yummy! Also their BBQ burger which was succulent, and no dry bun! #paranoidnomore

As I ate I thought, " WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE COME HERE!" ....oh ya, probably because they think it's closed -.-

Overall,
I really like it here! And everyone should try it too!
So here, I even added the opening times , because I'm so nice.
