Food Foundry, and RaW Coffee

So while I was home, Sam brought me round to really nice places for food and drinks. One day, after we picked her sister up from work, we headed to this new place called 'Food Foundry' (Happy Mansion, Section 17 (Jalan 17), Petaling Jaya, Selangor)

My brownie at Food Foundry

One thing I gotta say about this place. The coffee ain't fantastic (yes, sometimes this really is all I'm looking for), but the CAKES and the FOOD are really quite worth the trip. 

It's funny though. I never would have thought that there was a cafe in the area it is situated in to begin with. We were driving round a housing estate, getting a little lost, and then we turned in to this block of apartments. The cafe at that particular block of apartments, next to some sundry shops and other food places. Turn the corner and bam! You find a nice little cafe that serves good food.

The prices are fairly reasonable. The brownie you see in the picture? It was SO DENSE! Ended up sharing it with Sam (and not being able to finish it even after that). 

Food Foundry - layout. 

The place is nice and quaint - there's one section with air-conditioning and the other without. I think they're working on that issue for now (I'm not sure, so don't take my word for it). But the seatings are nice and spaced out, and they definitely have got the deco right. It's something like what the Gardens cafe looks like (but not as extravagant) mixed with Muji.  

But one other place that I've absolutely come to love - R.A.W (Real and Wholesome) Coffee at 150 Jalan Ampang, KL. 

R.A.W. Coffee

Apparently this place has been getting a lot of reviews - something I'm oblivious to. But I'm glad to have been brought here. 

Counter on the left, seating area in the corner

It's a little awkward cafe that is situated at the lobby of this office tower. Not exactly the most cosy of places, but at least the seating area has been separated from the 'openness' of the lobby by the wide counter. The cakes and all look a little unappetising from the inside of the glass refrigerator.. But they're pleasant enough. 

THE COFFEE WAS EXCELLENT THOUGH. REMINDED ME OF LONDON! And that's a celebration in itself! I would come all the way to KL (I live in PJ) to get coffee. I'm that much of a nut!

So where Food Foundry lacks in coffee, R.A.W. makes up for it. And where R.A.W. lacks in cakes and dessert, Food Foundry takes the trophy in this little battle. 

Sam obviously gets happy whenever she manages to satisfy my fussiness. Here's her smiling. 

Win!

You don't say.
