Blue&White Stripes



Have always dreamt of sipping English tea, eating freshly baked brownies and scones over a little chatter while sheltered from the sun's furnace by a big umbrella of blue and white stripes, allowing only fragments of its warmth seeping through. 

Places like these are a rare sight in hustling-bustling, skyscraper-cluttered Kuala Lumpur. 

One fine day, rumours began to spread that such a place did exist in the midst of Klang Valley! That was the day I fell in love with what I saw with my very own eyes - its beautiful offerings of desserts, cuppas and sandwiches, all in.......

..... Facebook.

Given its location in some unexplored metropolis called Sri Hartamas and mere dormancy of mine,  I had to suppress the longing  of discovering this hidden jewel for months and months.... till I found the occasion worth travelling  and getting lost for! 

Yea. Have to make a few U-turns before reaching the destination... 

Conclusion: Always have a Garmin at hand, not Google Map.


So there it is, located in the midst of Sri Hartamas Shopping Centre, lies the treasure trove!!!! 


Haute Food Co. 



 











 A dainty cafe hidden all the way in Sri Hartamas!
Doesn;t the menu give you a sudden sense of warmth?? So inviting! 






Various versions of heaven at your feet







Beef with caramelized onions.





Club sandwich

apparently "divine" according to the friend





Gavin's Choc Chip Cookie!

that really was its name!
and i kept thinking about Kronk with his apron =)














These were. the. best. scones. I've tried till date!


Wanted to order only a piece given the amount of food gorged, but the Mrs.Teapot lookalike owner told us that she would profit more that way, as selling a set of two would be of more value for us customers. ( 1 piece for RM4.90, 2 for RM6.90)

Wah... such honesty. We need more sales people like her! 

There were still so many types of desserts arranged before my eyes, and they all seemed to be crying out to me... but the tummy was crying out too in agony. I'll return once more, next time, just for desserts!

And I did get to seat under a Big umbrella with Blue and White stripes under the warm sunlight...

Ahhhh... simply divine.
