I've been wanting to pay Dessert's Bar a visit, as i'm a dessert whore. Apparently they serve a selection of "healthier" desserts. Since JC and WL asked me to go there, i jumped at the chance.
Eye-catching red sign board and it first caught my eye while i was driving through Mont Kiara, you see... Dessert's Bar. Tempting.
Not too bad an ambience, i would say. Pretty cozy with a warm, glowing, reddish setting.
Unmistakable red theme. Red sign, red headbands on staff, red wall paper... Wall paper is pretty cool and it has these random facts scribbled all over and these girly designs.
The funky things hanging from the ceiling are just pieces of stringed paper-scrunches. Looks great, no doubt, but i can already picture the wrinkle-nosed expressions of disapproval on my parents' faces. "Can u imagine the dust these will collect, ahhh?"
Quirky menu too. The Dessert's Bar menu is like a desk calendar, to be flipped backwards. The back of each menu page has some funny cartoon drawing like this. Yes, i love you, cupcake. Nice cupcakes, i mean (not those nice-look-bad-taste concoctions that are such a freaking craze nowadays).
JC's honey poached pear with scoopa vanilla ice cream. I didn't really try this, but apparently the poached pear is kinda "difficult" to eat. I dunno what that meant. @@
My hazelnut + sesame icecream with Jing Ting's macha in the background. Not the best around, i have to say. But for its price, the double-scoop is good enough. Hazelnut ice cream was fine, but the characteristic nutty aroma just wasn't strong enough. Ministry of Food serves a better, kick-ass version. Sesame ice cream was also so so laaaa, again too bland. The movenpick kick-ass version was magical... Then again, both MOF and Movenpick would have easily cost double the price so i'm pretty content with a little lack of flavour. xD Silver lining being the wafer. V. good.
Liang's dark chocolate Fondue. I'm not really a fan of fondue as it gets too cloying at times, but it is great to be shared.
Various fruits to be skewed and fondue-ed. Rather tart fruits, except for the banana. I guess the sour tang is supposed to complement the dark chocolate? Not too sure, not a chocoholic here.
Ice cream mini scooplets. Black sesame, raspberry and chocolate raspberry. If i'm not mistaken.
Nuts. I love. And i loved this little glass of nuts and crushed pistachio. Perfect perfect when eaten together with hot melted chocolate. I ended up crunching down spoonfuls of chocolated nuts. Sigh i could practically hear the angels sing.
:D Me. Computer chair potato more like. Should send this over to zy.

After Dessert's Bar we scooted off to Piccadilly's which is near Jaya 33, if i'm not mistaken. One of the buildings there la, near Digital Mall. At the hilly, back portion of the buildings, actually, and to get there you need to use some winding Section 14 ulu roads.
Sorta Murni-style crazy-siao-all-types-of-food-also-got fusion place. Except that they had beer, and shisha. God the place was reeking of stomach-turning saccharine fruitiness. And like most places that serve a little bit of everything, everything is passable but nothing too noteworthy.
Except this, i guess. The monte cristo. Something like William's Triple H. French toast with ham / bacon and cheese inside. Ham / bacon was fantastic, with a smoky sort of aroma. Just the type i like. :)
