The irony of this cafe is that, it is really upstairs. It's situated next to SJMC hospital. It's a cafe for folks around to hang around with coffee and great gourmet food. This time, dinner calls and Upstairs cafe seems interesting.

Upon entering the doors to Upstairs cafe, there's a flight of stairs to climb.

The food counter is right next to the flight of stairs. It was so worth it to go upstairs (no puns intended). Orders are to be made at the counter. They have an abundant amount of food and drinks on the menu. It was so hard to choose on what to eat for dinner. Every dessert from the dessert counter looked very mouth watering. The desserts is perfect to have for tea time.

Decided to order their famous Spaghetti Bolognese and their all-day big-breakfast, with some orange juice and peach tea. The price for the meal is pretty affordable for gourmet food. The spaghetti bolognese is served with two slices of baguette. It goes really well as you have to scoop up some sauce on the bread. The portion is very filling and the flavour is different than other spaghetti bolognese, one of a kind pasta. For their all-day big breakfast, it was a little disappointing. It tasted like any other big breakfast (maybe not like McDonald's). The peach tea tastes like gummy bears in-a-cup. It's sweet yet, just nice.

Rating for Upstairs Cafe: 9/10
Price range: RM 10 - RM 49

Libby & Co., situated in the courtyard of Empire Subang. It is an individual building on it's own and it has glass windows all over to give the customers of natural sunlight or to see the stars at night while dining.

Here is a board on the exterior to inform customers of the opening hours. Also, they notify that they have an instagram account that customers could follow at @jibbynco on the board.

The picture above are meals from their breakfast menu. Their menu are pretty pricey, as they serve gourmet food with amazing view. After tasting some of their food, we could really tell that they use fresh and quality ingredients and their plating looks astonishing.

Their spaghetti bolognese with meatballs was scrumptious. It was around RM24 but it was worth every cents. The portion is pretty big so we had to share it for two persons.

 

They have several pasta dishes in their menu. For example (in the picture above), spaghetti pesto with mushrooms and seafood agile olio. Each and every pasta has their own distinctive flavours and it was a pretty unique gastronomic experience for our taste buds. We paired up the pasta with some local Teh Tarik and some Twinnings tea. All-in-all, Jibby & Co. is great place to dine for special occasions.

Rating for Jibby & Co. : 7/10

Pricing rate: RM 12 - RM 60

Eating clean is always the hardest to achieve. We are frequently tempted with all the delicious and diet-spoiler food we see in our daily lives. Worry not! Awesome Canteen is a cafe that serves Paleo food. A good choice for those who aims to eat healthy for a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet. Besides of the thought of eating a healthy meal at Awesome Canteen, they would also like to imply their customers to think of "delicious". You would also find several Japanese touches used in their dishes like the salmon sashimi which is a popular Paleo order or the Japanese curry baked rice.
Awesome Canteen also keeps it simple with old school furniture, portraying those olden days' canteen style with a laid-back and comfortable feel to it. They also have several antique equipment displayed to match with the theme of their shop.

First time in our lives, we had our first Paleo dish here, served by Awesome Canteen. We tried the chicken pasta, seafood pasta, Japanese curry rice and the Japanese fish set that came with soup, rice and fried tempura on the side. Frankly speaking, all of the dishes are good. Moreover, we were very full after finishing our plates. Besides the talks about being healthy, Awesome Canteen also serves some modern processed food like juicy gourmet burgers and sandwiches. The patties are made from freshly ground meat topped with melting Swiss cheese and french fries. Do try out their coffees from there too! Their baristas are also coffee junkies that can pull quite a decent shot of espresso or even hand-brew them. They also have several cakes displayed beside their cashier to pair perfectly
with the coffees. With a wide variety of cakes to pies and desserts too! One of us tried the flat white from them and she loved it.

Overall, there is certainly no doubt about this place. They do serve the best of both worlds. Good environment and a wide range of food choices to pick from. Ratings given to this place would be 8/10. Yay!

Not sure whether you guys have heard about Padi House before, but here's one of the branches located at SetiaWalk, Puchong. There's one day I came here with my bunch of friend and it was my first time here! There's a lake beside and when the sky turned darker, it looked somehow quite romantic with different color of small light bulbs! One day, I'm gonna come again with my love one! 

As for dinner, most of us has ordered pasta like pesto de pasta with grilled chicken and cheese baked seafood pasta which is highly recommended by the chief. Some of them also ordered Mexico beef tacos and Mongolian lamb cutlet. They said that the meat was very fresh and the doneness just fine. They are really so nice that I would recommend to friends around me! Price range is about RM 11-20 which is affordable and reasonable for everyone I guess. 

Who don't love dessert? Who don't love cakes? If you are one of the cake lovers or dessert lovers, then I would recommend you this - cheese cake after your dinner. If you do not like cheese cake, there are other options for you to try as well such as Tiramisu cake, Oreo Cheesecake and Red Velvet! Now, after dessert time, we are heading to the bar which is just opposite Padi House for the happy hour for any kinds of beer!! Cheers!!
