Macallum Connoisseurs

After hearing so much about the newest and biggest cafe in the town - Macallum Connoisseurs, I  finally had the chance to call by! Its alluring and dark outer look added the mysteriousness and classiness to it. The only downside was the really limited parking space. Entering the cafe, it felt really spacious and is definitely an ideal place to chit chat. They are very thoughtful to leave just enough spaces between tables so that we can have some private room to ourselves. The grey theme going on really complimented with the wooden furniture.

Table Number!

AKA not my table number. My actual table number is actually 33, but the bottle did not have sprouts in it. Basically - bald. For the courtesy of taking a nice photo, I grabbed the table number bottle thingy from the table next to mine and.. that was the story of how 33 became 37 .__.

Iced Mocha (RM12) . Aussie Strong Latte (RM11)

The attender recommended us to order Aussie Strong Latte if we would like to have coffee with a stronger aroma. When I took the first sip, it was really bitter. I ended up waving towards the attender and asked for packets of sugar. The iced mocha on the other hand was luscious. The sweetness was just adequate.

Good Ol' Bagels with Orange Marmalade (RM7) 

You can actually choose other jams or cream cheese to spread in between the bagel if you prefer other toppings over Orange Marmalade. If you tend to get really ravenous in the morning, you can add RM1 and get yourself Breakfast Bagel at a total of RM8. Breakfast Bagel would be bagel served with scrambled eggs.

Aglio Olio with mushroom (RM16) 

The sprinkled cheese and herbs mixed with the aroma really makes this plate of Aglio Olio ultra tempting. The cheese powder entangled in the spaghetti melt instantly when scooped into my mouth, bringing out the finest taste of Aglio Olio. 

Grilled Chicken (RM20) 

I don't think that this was one of their signature dishes but it was printed on the notice placed in front of the counter, so we reckon it would taste superb and ordered it. It was not as bad as disappointment but also not as good as expectation. The plate decoration gives additional marks to this dish though.

Every time I try to act cool, I always end up sniggering. Can be quite annoying at times.

If you are wondering about the huge flower on my wrist, a clown at some expo asked me if I would like anything and the first thing that came to my mind was -flower. I hadn't expected it to be so freaggin gorgeous though. Props for the chatty clown! ^^

Snapback kind of Saturday.

If you have a closer look on their napkins, a meaningful quote is printed on them - Great meals end with a paper napkin; Great ideas begin on one. I'm still trying to figure out the deep-seeded meaning of this quote to be honest. But alas, a quote is a quote and I have always loved quotes, especially the more uplifting and inspirational ones. And this is not just about to become an exceptional. 

The ambient is really nice and it is definitely an ideal place for a gathering with friends or even to spend an idle afternoon there with your family. The price of the food however is not that economical but also not shockingly expensive. Other than that, it is definitely a great place to hang out :)
