The Street Cafe, SS15 Subang Jaya

Fresh from the Eid celebration, Aliya and I had a peculiar Korean food craving. Since we've only been to The Street Cafe in Sunway Pyramid, we decided to give this outlet a try. We rang Sofia and Fitra to join us, and we were there in a jiffy.

We were a bit confused on the location of the restaurant, at first. After a good 40 mins of wandering around, we finally spotted the treasure. :) It is situated on the row of shops facing Metropolitan College. We thought it would be near to Starbucks and McD and kept circling that viccinity. Actually, you have to come from the Pappa Rich side since it is a one-way street.

We were impressed by the layout of the restaurant. Definitely better than the outlet in Sunway Pyramid. Since we wanted privacy, we head up to the 2nd floor. They had sections where you can sit on ur butt a'la Japanese, ordinary table and chair, or you can opt for the open air section.

Our eyes were immediately drawn to the thousands of post-its on the wall. I've seen this view in restaurants and cafes in Seoul. Glad that they're bringing a bit of that decor here.


The hungry rascals waiting to devour their food.

Pardon my fugly hangeul and even worse spelling. Haha!


They have a stack of games, wigs, and toys for us to fool around. They even have Twister. (warning: Play before you eat, or you'll be throwing up on each other.)


Our lunch spread. Feast for your eyes je la. Dtg sini sendiri kalau nak rasa. haha!


My lunchbox of spicy chicken teriyaki. Mashiketta!


Aliya's dolsot bibimbap. Divine.


Sofia's ramyun. Savoury.


The infamous On Fire Fried Chicken. You might want to order an extra glass of iced water to douse the "fire".


You couldn't tell the difference with a brawl scene. Haha!

After the HUGE lunch, we turned our attention to the game racks. We chose Uno Stacko. A piece of advice, please lower your volume eventhough the game is full of suspense, or else who-can-laugh-louder competition would ensue with four girls from the last partition. (Nak senyap2, sila masuk laut. Terima kasih.)


Fitra's measly attempt to keep the Stacko upright.


The wrecker's shame.


Kenyang perut, suka hati. I think there's something in the kimchi. (padahal x sentuh pon) ;)

While waiting for Azraa and Nuu..

One fine day, Azraa texted me at 16:43. The text reads "kt0wam da grak..". "What language is that?", you might ask. It's Azraa's Tongue. Only she and she alone can pull off that language. In English it simply means, "Azraa and Nuur is on their way to meet me at Dang Wangi LRT station, so that we could go to KGPA together for buka puasa."

I was still at my office and was in the midst of reading Allkpop when I received the aforementioned text. Their office is just 1 station away so they could arrive in 5 mins time. I hurriedly closed my Explorer browser, shut down my PC, accidentally poured too much food that could feed an entire ocean into my fish bowl and dashed to the lift. From the 10th floor, all the way down to ground floor I prayed hard that Azraa and Nuur is not waiting for at my car, under the hot sun.

It took me 5 mins to get to my car and my prayers were answered. They were not there. (yet?)

"Maybe there's a lot of people in the station", was what I thought. I got behind the wheel, turned on the engine and switched on the A/C, full blast. I kept looking at my rearview mirror, hoping to see them emerging from the LRT station behind me. After the 15th glance, I gave up. "Checking their reflection in the rearview mirror won't make them arrive any sooner".

Suddenly, I remembered that I brought my digicam. Aha! *imagine light bulb on top of my head*

This is all your fault, Azraa n Nuur. Both of you are the reason for my vanity.

They arrived at 17.12pm.

p/s: Yes. motive post ni adalah untuk tunjuk gmbr vain saya. Sekian, terima kasih.
