We got wind of a rather "young" book cafe in the royal town of Klang, which got me interested. But Klang is erm, considered far from where we normally hang out.
I got the impression that they were Japan-inspired as their name had Japanese characters. Was not sure what I was expecting from the decor and menu but I left feeling unsure of which aspects of the place was Japanese. Not that I am an expert on Japan but...
It was a weekend when we visited and it was when the government had just relaxed the SOPs on the MCO. Therefore, there was a queue when we arrived because there were fewer seats compared to before to adhere to physical distancing requirement.
Immediately after we placed our orders, I started to look for the "book cafe" aspect of the place. I found shelves against a whole wall. But that was it. Not sure what I was expecting to find but perhaps it did not help that it was a weekend after the MCO and therefore, many people were out to catch up with people they have not seen for 2.5 months, so books would not be top on their priority list.
Not sure if I was expecting more books but perhaps, I was let down by how no one in the cafe (at the time I was there) was reading a book. People were either talking to each other or fiddling with their electronic devices.
Otherwise, I thought it felt rather cosy (note to self: do not visit on a weekend in future).
Okay, now to the noms.
Not sure what transpired at the time but we decided to order chocolate instead of coffee. Rare, right? I know.
Very satisfying, I tell you. We tried their finest Belgian chocolate (RM12) because we think that not many cafes choose to use Belgian chocolate - had one Milk 34% and one Dark 54%. Two thumbs up!
Jenny had coffee, which came in a bigger copper mug. So fancy.
Jenny also ordered a Big Breakfast (RM23), which consisted two gourmet sausages, two sunny-side up eggs, sourdough bread, grilled tomato, baked sweet potato and fruit salad:
Just before we left, we tried their popular Salted Egg Yolk Croissant (RM7.50):
Verdict: They would do well with a branch on this side of the state, so that we do not need to cross districts 😉
Note: Always check their social media sites for updates on opening hours due to the ever-changing (x)MCOs.
