[FOOD REVIEW] B.E Cafe @ Taman Molek, JB - Part Three

I love indulging in lazy weekend evenings with a book in the hand and sipping a cup of cappuccino for hours. One of my favourite cafes in JB has got to be B.E Cafe, not only for the coffee but also the amazing atmosphere. (You can read about my previous experience here and here) This time round, Ma Cherie girls were invited to their old branch, also at Taman Molek. Let's see what they have for us this time!

1. Atlantic Salmon Salad RM 19.90

What's for appetizer? Here we have freshly cut atlantic salmon, lightly grilled, which then carefully laid onto fresh greens. The salmon was beautifully carved with simple yet exquisite details. Topped with their homemade lemon dill dressing, it is no ordinary salad. Tasty, nutritious and filling!

2. Creamy Pumpkin Soup RM 13.90

I love pumpkin. This beautiful soup is hearty and comforting, with fresh pumpkin softened in the chicken soup, which then puréed to perfection. It was so smooth and creamy that it will make you fall in love with pumpkin, too!

3. Classic Eggs Benedict RM 20.90

I love eggs - I don't know what I would do without them! They are delicious any way you cook them. So needless to say, I love egg benedict. B.E Cafe's poached eggs were tender on the outside and creamy inside, topped with the buttery hollandaise sauce. The egg was then served on daily baked muffin and ham. 

4. Wild Mushroom Rosti RM 18.90

Not many cafes in Malaysia serve rosti, so this makes B.E Cafe stand out. A simple rosti has well-seasoned grated potato, fried until golden and crunchy on the outside and remains soft on the inside. Best to eat with the homemade sour cream at the side. As always, I love B.E Cafe's mushrooms!

5. Club Sandwich RM 15.90

Also called a clubhouse sandwich, B.E Cafe ensures the quality of their sandwich by using only daily baked and toasted bread. The delicious combination of ham, tomato, cheese, lettuce, cucumber and scrambled egg is hard to resist. Sided with fat fries to satisfy you even more!

6. Triple Royale Cake RM 9.90

A delicious dinner is great, but dessert makes it better. With the combination of chocolate cheese, creamy mascarpone cheese and soft chocolate cake, this triple royale cake is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the sweet tooth. Sweet, rich and sinful.

7. Carrot Cake RM 9.90

This carrot cake was moist and delicious - often carrot cakes are dry. The addition of coconut adds a sweet and delicate flavour that you are going to love. Cream cheese frosting elevate this carrot cake from ordinary to extraordinary. Totally to die for!

8. Granola RM 12.90

I love how B.E Cafe present granola in this small, little cup. Contains yogurt, walnuts, berries and crunchy cereal. The sourness of the yogurt goes well with the sweetness of the berries.

9. Cold Brew RM 12.90

Before ending the night, we had this cold brew. It is light, refreshing and incredibly smooth, definitely an appealing alternative to hot coffee. And the best part is it captures the essence of coffee. 

Time flies when you are having plenty of good fun. Thank you B.E Cafe for the awesome service, and Jack who invited us over and being so helpful and understanding all these while. Here's a picture of Ma Cherie girls to express our gratitude to our fellow readers. We hope to produce more good food reviews for you in the future! Hope you find my reviews helpful.

[FOOD REVIEW] B.E Cafe @Taman Molek, JB - Part Two

It's no secret that I am addicted to cafe hopping. (You can read about my previous discovering of good coffee in JB here :D) So today I am here again continuing my cafe hopping journey, to introduce some good food that B.E Cafe at Taman Molek, JB offers.

1. The Breakfast Essentials RM23.50

Start your day right with B.E Cafe's The Breakfast Essential. Just by looking at it makes one happy - look at the variety it has in one plate and it is so colourful! Comes with toast, scrambled eggs, sausages, hashbrowns, mushrooms, baked beans and salad. Totally hearty and wholesome. The scrambled eggs are moist with a nice buttery whiff. I LOVE the wild mushroom sautéed with balsamic vinegar - the main reason that I love this dish. The generous portion is plenty to feed two, especially ladies with small appetites. Perfect for brunch - the best part is it is served all day!

2. Grilled Chicken Chop with Mushroom Sauce and Rice RM15.50

No deep frying here, so yes it's healthier. Served with rice, the chicken is tender and juicy. Also it is decently portioned. Delicious!

3. Mushroom Spaghetti Aglio Olio RM16.50

I always love Aglio Olio. Italian for ''garlic and oil'', Aglio Olio is pasta coated with garlic and olive oil - simple but delightful. B.E Cafe's Aglio Olio did not disappoint me either. Expect slight hint of spiciness as chili flakes are added.

I am drooling now just by looking at this picture.

4. Classic Hawaiian Pizza RM12.90

The classic Hawaiian pizza is an all time favourite. What makes B.E Cafe's Hawaiian Pizza special is that they have ultra thin crust that makes every bite a bit of crunch - just like eating biscuits. Topped with delicious mouth-watering pineapples, the combination is just perfect!

5. Smoked Duck Panini RM17.90

I didn't know what is panini, then I wish I knew it earlier after I tried this Smoked Duck Panini. Generally, panini is a sandwich made with toasted bread, cut horizontally and filled with all kinds of ingredients. The smoked duck here is the bomb. Enough said, make sure you try this!

6. Turkey Bacon and Ham Savoury Waffle RM15.90

Who says waffles need to be sweet? Here at B.E Cafe they have savoury waffles. As usual, I enjoy looking at the warm, golden egg yolk flows like slow hot lava when cut open. Waffle is always my thing, but perhaps a sweet tooth like me still prefer a sweet waffle. For a truly different twist on waffles, you've got to try this.

7. Fried Lotus Chips RM8.90

A crunchy and delicious snack to end the day.

Seflie with my girls before ending the food review session.

Always good to have you girls around. :)

[FOOD REVIEW] B.E Cafe @ Taman Molek, JB - Part One

Who doesn't love cafe-hopping, especially with so many new cafes sprouting all over JB? In recent years, there has been a surge in the popularity of coffee. As we log on to Instagram, it is common that we see a whole string of photos of cafes that people are visiting. But do you know, or appreciate what it takes to brew that perfect cup of coffee? Ma Cherie girls were invited to the newly opened B.E Cafe branch in Taman Molek, and here we witnessed how the baristas combine their passion, skills, knowledge, and artistry to prepare not just a cup of coffee, but a work of art for every customer.

B.E Cafe - Be yourself

Taste the food, enjoy the coffee.

B.E Cafe boasts a homey, cozy atmosphere. It is the kind of cafes that I like - laid back, not overly designed, very friendly, where the focus is mainly on coffee. It was rather quiet for a Sunday but I guess that is also what makes the cafe comfy for a nice chill out place.

Selection of good magazines to relax and recharge, or to gain inspiration.

Barista of the day - Ah Sam was all focus making our coffee.

1. Rose Latte RM10.50

The very first cup of coffee immediately captured my heart. Girls love roses - so there's no doubt that this is going to be a love at first sight. Served with some rose petals on top, the rose latte tasted really good with that light rose aroma, yet the whole taste is not overpower by the caffeine. A perfect house blend of coffee beans from Columbia and Sumatra.

2. Caramel Macchiato RM10.90

The whip cream combined with the caramel sauce made this caramel macchiato sweet and incredibly rich and creamy. Satisfy my sweet tooth with minimal effort.

3. B.E Cappuccino RM8.50

One of the most popular espresso drinks, one can never go wrong with a cup of cappuccino. A cappuccino done right should be equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foamed milk. B.E cappuccino has the smooth and milky texture with a lingering coffee taste. I think they've got it right!

4. Syphon Handbrew Coffee RM15.00

Other than the standard espresso-based drinks, B.E Cafe offers hand-brewed coffee as well. This manually-brewed coffee requires skill and patience. In B.E Cafe, single origin coffee beans from Kenya were used to retain and perfect the beans' distinct characteristics. A clean, refined cup of coffee. Not my cup of coffee, but recommended to those who want to try something different!

5. Iced Latte RM11.50

When you are in the mood for iced coffee, try B.E Cafe's signature drink - iced latte. It was not as creamy and sweet as the hot one. Tasted fairly plain to me initially, but the more I drank, the more I liked it. A nice coffee aftertaste.

6. Vanilla Affogato RM9.90

Vanilla ice cream drowned in espresso - this is what makes up an affogato. The espresso melts some of the ice cream, creating a bittersweet, creamy sauce. This is a heavenly combination. So simple, yet impressive! Love this. And don't you think it looks extra elegant in that tall cocktail glass? :)

7. Citrus Chocolate RM12.50

The last two drinks I am going to introduce here are non-caffeinated drinks. Just look at this - another beautiful piece of art. I expected some fresh citrus aroma in this citrus chocolate but to my surprise, it tasted just like ordinary hot chocolate. So rich it tasted almost like a melted chocolate bar, a little bit too sweet for me. To all the chocolate lovers, I swear you would love this.

8. Baby Chino RM7.50

The moment this drink was served, all the girls went crazy - OMG LOOK AT THIS! It is so irresistibly cute! I stared at it in admiration and I really couldn't bear to drink it. Frothed milk topped with marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles, this is a cup of cuteness with the taste of heaven. Lovely!

With the opening of so many new cafes nowadays, those who want to survive in the market need to offer something special to distinguish themselves from their competitors. Beautiful drink presentation shows your customers that you strive for perfection in your operation, and I think this is really a plus point for B.E Cafe. They serve good food too, stay tuned for my updates. :D

First we applied a layer of nail lacquer on top of a coffee filter paper and next we added a drop of water. We watched as the water seep through the paper around the nail polish. We always worry that the layer of colours on our nails causing oxygen and air unable to penetrate through the nails, but with Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer, it is totally breathable!

After introducing us to the new collection, it's time for some fun! All the girls were given the new products to try and create a full look using Maybelline products.

Time to show off your true colours babe!
