The Owls Cafe, Bukit Jalil

A dear friend of mine had been telling me there's this cute cafe near her place at Bukit Jalil and they have awesome desserts that look tempting as well. That sneaky one even sent us some photos after her visit there, and poor me only got to stare and drool at my phone as I was lazy to drive up.

Eventually, I lost to the temptations and did a trip there to have a sugar date with her (:

First look at the place and I fell in love instantly!

I would say the whole place screams CUTE and ADORABLE! ♥

And from the look of it, you know why it's called The Owls Cafe because it's literally filled with owls all over it; the walls, the decors, the fluffy pillows, they are everywhere and in the cutest designs!

Didn't really walk around to take photos as there were many people that day, and apparently business is good almost everyday. So, sometimes you gotta queue to get a spot.

Everything looks pretty yummy from the menu but there's only two of us, so it's kinda limited the portion of food we can order :(

Coffee's good there, right amount of everything to make a good dose.

This is great! Not too sweet and the aroma is drooling-ly yummy! (If there is such word, LOL)

Love this as well! I think it was called the 'Milo Dinosaur', what a cute name. Who would thought Milo can go well with marshmallows, ice-cream and a waffle? Yet again, Milo goes well with almost everything, yummy (:

And who could resist beautiful flowers? ♥

In short, I would totally give two thumbs up for this place as I love the design and concept (it's so cute I could die!), the food is awesome!, coffee is great as well and the price is affordable. Would say it's worth for the value ;) Definitely dropping by again!

Date Night : Troika Sky Dining & Heli Lounge ❤

Took this while stuck in the traffic (:

So, the boyfie was back from JB for a few days and we were going for a date night somewhere in KL.

I stumbled on a list of sky dining restaurants in KL and let him decide on one place that interests him most.

Previously we found places such as Marini's on 57 and Heli Lounge already but didn't have the time to visit them. 

Initially, he wanted to make a reservation at Marini's but the only slot we could get is at 9.30pm. That's kinda late for dinner and we'll have to eat in a rush as they close at 11pm :(

The finalized decision, we'll go to Strato (one of Troika's Sky Dining) and then hit Heli Lounge for a drink.

So, time to prep for the date night. I opt for something which is simple, comfy yet chic at the same time. As for the makeup, I plan to play it neutral using my Bobbi Brown's Bellini Lip & Eye Palette 

(you can read my review here)

My look of the night and #ootn with black, polka dots and a burst of red for some color ❤

Troika Sky Dining has 3 sections; Strato (Italian restaurant), Claret (bar) and Cantaloupe (fine dining). I never have the preference for fine dining as the portions served are really small and you'll have to eat with grace and class while the waitresses are staring at you. Stress much.

Btw, if you are going to Strato, please do not wear skater skirts or dresses as it's located at the upper section. You'll have to take the stairs and it's pretty inconvenient. You shall understand my difficulty when you see the picture at the bottom later.

I would say that the view offered wasn't much but the service and food was awesome. Ambiance wise was perfect, the whole lighting, music and all, lovely for a date night ❤

Sneaky bum took this secretly

We ordered one starter and two mains.

Starter: Scallops and beans

Pizza: Carbonara sauce, broccoli, smoked duck breast

Pasta: Gnocchi with braised chicken ragu and shaved cured foie gras

Each and every one of them was goooooooooood! As for drinks, I had their rose wine and he ordered their Sangria. The wine was okay but the Sangria is not something that I would recommend. We also ordered one of their recommended desserts, Strawberry Panna Cotta.

They would then escort you downstairs near the bar to enjoy your dessert.

The waiter near the stairs saw my skirt and reminded me to "watch my step" while going down.

Note to self: Never wear anything flare to this place the next visit.

After lingering there for a bit, we made our move to the Heli Lounge.

The parking there is very small and dodgy for me.

First thing that greets you, the bouncer and a small reception table to take your drinks' order. We were there around 10pm plus, and you can only enter if you buy a bottle. It's like the reception concept at clubs where you have to make your bottle purchase to enter the place. I'm not sure about evenings though, I think they serve dinner and there's no such rule because my friend told me that the food there is pretty good (he went there for dinner with the family).

Of course, you have to make your way to the Helipad for the view. After some stairs, you'll feel the wind once you reach the entrance and be amazed at what greets you!

 It was beautiful up there! 

Having both KL Tower and Twin Towers so close to you with their glittering lights..

You might experience some butterflies in your stomach if you are afraid of height.

KL City ❤

Too bad that it started to pour in less than half an hour while we were up there, I didn't even get to finish my first glass. Such a waste :( It would be nice to enjoy the view and wine there.

And that's our date night ❤

Hope you enjoy reading and do share with me your date night outs too!

Till then,

Much loves, xoxo ❤
