exintrio invades Damansara!

by Wan Qing - May 29, 2016

Last Thursday, Li Sze, Mun Jing and I, the exintrio (hahaha don't ask me how we came out with this name) went for a short trip to Damansara to hop some cafes and take photos. It was a really short session, had to wake up at 8+ so that we could come back right before Li Sze's tutorial starts (but her lecturer didn't turn up pfffttt). So here are some photos of that day!

First Stop- Metal Box @ Empire Damansara

The interior of the cafe is dark, not very "photography-friendly", and there was someone smoking outside so we chose to sit at the table nearest to the outdoor seating.

Specialty French Toast // RM16.90

French toast coated with nestum & pan seared till golden brown, served with mixed berries coulis, diced peach, roasted pistachios & a shot of gula Melaka.

The Red Benedict // RM21.90

2 perfectly poached eggs on a bed of freshly baked croissant served with sautéed mushrooms, edamame, choice of beef bacon or turkey ham, topped with homemade hollandaise sauce & red wine glaze.

The food was just okay in our opinion, not really "must-try" dishes.

After breakfast, we took some pictures around Empire Damansara.

头痛 #2

Surprisingly, the management does not allow photos to be taken with DSLRs. The guards literally followed us around and stopped us whenever we took out our cameras urgh. We were so fed up and left after a short while. (The architecture is really pretty we could've taken lots of nice photos sigh it was so disappointing!!)

We walked over to the Damansara Performing Arts Center which is located at one end of Empire Damansara and took some pictures at the mandatory spot. (And yea no DSLRs allowed once again but I just curi curi took some when the guard wasn't looking)

After that, we headed to Bean Brothers, a cafe that originated from Korea. It is located within the neighbourhood of Sunway Rimba Hills, along the industrial area. And of course we managed to get there thanks to Waze.

We totally fell in love with this place the moment we stepped in the cafe. After ordering, we went upstairs to have more space and privacy to ourselves, luckily there was just one girl there studying there with her earphones plugged in. She was probably peeking and judging us all the time lololol.

The entire upper floor is laid out with a round hollow in the middle where you could look down at the ground floor.

The house blend coffee is priced at RM12. Upon ordering, we were asked to choose between Black Suit (a bolder taste) and Velvet White (more of a fruity taste). We had no idea what to pick so we just ordered one each, Cappuccino in Black Suit and Mocha in Velvet White.

Other than cakes, they also do serve food although there wasn't a great variety. We ordered the sandwich, there're 3 options to choose from (and I forgot what we picked). The sandwiches are priced at RM18. The sandwich is yummy and the fries are AMAZING.
