Sending my warm wishes to everyone to have a good day with a complete set meal for a day. Let's me begin to introduce the recent popular cafe in Malaysia. This is Botanica + Co. Restaurant & Bar with the modern exterior but a greenhouse themed where natural lighting shinning in to the restaurant. Be amaze for the interior when you stepped in because the environment are just like being in the beautiful gardens. Imagine the dining experience of outdoor amidst lush greenery where what the owner want to expressed. 

Menu seem to be variety of selection but hardly to make up the mind to made order. Yet, we go for the simple meal of Eggs Benedict and Truffle Angus Beef of Japanese Rice. Both dishes are normal however the Truffle Yakiniku Don was too salty when we keep on eating. However, we are please with the Churros Donut Stacks dessert which I order as a belated birthday cake for my friend. Luckily the whole meal was brighten up by this dessert. The crispy of churros donuts with chocolate ice-cream melt into the mouth have turn into a different level. Overall service are acceptable and a good place for friends hang out.

What's next when it time for lunch hour? Drop to Chocha Foodstore which located in KL - Penang Street. The oldest street where almost the history begun and the Chinatown located. This have been one of the tourist attractions, therefore many refurbishment and turns into hipster cafe along the street. Not forgotten to maintain the current building situation of Malaysia feels therefore, Chocha are situated in the hotel block with former condition but colourful wall tiles to brighten up the whole cafe.  

A group of creative that interested in food, culinary art and design to provide a casual fun eatery with asian twist in an old shoplots. They brings freshness of daily life foods to become a seasonal dishes. Foremost, it's all about pure and simple taste to share with friends. Not to missed, their tea are what to be sound out loud.  

Just a brief introduce of what special dish I had in Chocha. Eventually feel like the ulam word are a little stranger to us but we still decided to order this for a try. Ulam is a salad vegetable after google search and the foods arrive. Out of 3 dishes, we prefer the Biang Biang Inspired Noodle although super oily in SzeChuan sauces. The appetizer of Mango Kerabu Salad was the right order for us as well to balance the both (Homemade Noodle - oily and spicy; Barley Rice - salted and weird taste). But with an advised is the Ulam barley rice are best eat with salted egg squid together rather just to eat the rice directly and slowly you are adapting the taste. I found myself eating it non-stop after that.
