Roast & Grind @ Section 16

Not long after going through the albums on the iPad; I stumbled upon photos from my recent visit to Roast and Grind. The cafe is actually around my office area, and I had no idea they such cafe around there.

Food escapade time! But this time with both my sister and her husband. I know right, third-wheeling. Blugh.

The place is surrounded with several gastropubs, restaurants and cafes, but as we thought of making another turn around the area, we found this place. 

I don't think you would bound to find this place easily without the help from Waze, because the cafe is hidden right behind a building. Most probably a flats, or maybe an apartment. I am not too sure, as I went there at night and didn't really get a good sight of it.

Well, there is something called GPS, nowadays and you guys can waze it! It'll be easier than me trying to guide you, which would probably make you land in another state, instead. Heh.

 After reading an article I found on the net about the cafe, I now know that the cafe is owned by two siblings, Shah & Hidayah, whereas their family has been in the caffeine business since the 50s. That's pretty long, bruh. And to be exact, they were nice, leh. Super friendly and cosy.

Speaking of cosiness, lads, they have an xbox/ps system for ya'll to play. Girls, if you want to bring your boyfriends to this place, beware he might game before he eats, hahaha. Anyway, I didn't manage to get hold of a secure picture of the menu, but I did take some shots of the food.

My favorite dish? THE MEATBALLS. If you like IKEA meatballs like nobody's business (like me) TRY ROAST AND GRIND'S MEATBALLS. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. POOF.

The interior is absolutely out of the box, as I would like to put it in my own words, of course. It is not an environment where you have been to before and can be seen anywhere, it is more to like a home-based cafe where you hang out as if you are literally relaxing at home. There's a couch, and also a television set where you get to play the games on the PS3 that is provided for the customers. Like stated on the above. Girls....

Besides that, the service is absolutely friendly and will give you a good recommendation on what to order during your first visit. 

VOILA FOOD

Sourdough bread with chips

Lasagna

Moroccan Meatballs

Mocha

Cappuccino

The prices here are reasonable as it is between RM25 to RM30 which is basically normal around the PJ area. Well, if the food is good and the environment is cosy, what else could you ask for?

SO, if you are around the area, don't forget to stop by and remember do not leave without trying their Moroccan Meatballs because IT'S THE BOMB!!! I REPEAT THE BOMB!!!

FIQ's Gastronomy @ Subang Jaya

After busting my butt for nine hours at the office, my colleague and I were starved to death that we just had to stuff ourselves with food. As much as we were dying to get our hands on something, we clearly had no idea where to go. 

As usual, after driving around and browsing through google, she came up with a place and it was exactly where we were at: Subang Jaya. Can you imagine, we drove around town from Damansara to Subang Jaya just because we plainly had no clue in the head on where on earth we should fill our stomachs at. 

However, once we were in the restaurant, we were just dying to get our hands on the menu.

The ambience was something unexpected and I can't really say that it is a hipster cafe, but it looks more like a classy restaurant. I mean, of course with the wooden table to be persay, adds in the hipster vibe a little, and the lanterns but however, once you're in there; all you want to be is poised. HAHAHAH.

Why I added a HAHAHA at the end there? Nah I wasn't laughing because the place was a joke, but instead it was meant for Nabilah and I, as we are kids at heart. Trust me, when there's us two; there's no keeping us nestled down.


But, something different can be also good at times, right? 

I guess I am blessed with good food in my life. (hand preaching emoji) hehe. 

Okay, what about the lighting prospects to capture good photos? Hmm, it's hard to deliberate on that, but with good editing apps, you'll be able to find a way to brighten up your pictures just the way you want it to. To my opinion, the lights aren't doing you much justice at night, so if you want to get the perfect shot, come at night? Again though, it's all up to the individual, and it is just my personal opinion. 

Hence, the pictures below.

This is the lunch set promotion.

Let's get to the food part, shall we? 

We ordered FIQ's Fish and Chips (RM23) and Pasta with Black Mussels (RM25). As for the drinks, we had the Vanilla shakes along with one of the mojitos (orange + walnut something) and I am telling you, it was heavenly delicious. 

For deserts, we tried their famous Dominique Ansel's Cookies Cup and Milk (RM14), basically it is just milk served in a cookie but never thought it would taste so good. You can ask them for a refill of the milk from the waiters, though. And service is alright while the staff are quite friendly, too.

Lastly, who wouldn't leave without a selfie?

Do stop by, and check FIQ's out alright!

REMINDER: The restaurant would sometimes suffer from failed online system for credit/debit cards, so just in case, make sure you prepare some cash on the side. And before entering as well, they would place a notice on the door, so keep your eyes open. Why? It has happened to us, and it's better to be prepared at all times.
