Maple's diary: Yellow Apron : Of a great environment @Seksyen 13

It is my first time visited here. You wouldn't expect this restaurant (Yes, it is not a cafe judging by it's size too) would look so spacious with minimalist and warm interior which is something that I like so much!

ENVIRONMENT

5/5 rating for the environment here. Let's see.....

The first sight when you come in from the main entrance. Yellow hanging pendant light to shine upon the food and the space, you will feel cozy and comfortable and all the stress suddenly vanish and relax.

Going further from the dessert and counter, patron can choose a seat of four or eight. As you can see here, the seating here can easily accomodate 16 people too.

You might want to sit on soft cushioned couch instead of cold hard metal chair for a cup of tea. There is it. The ample space between each table ensure that you can gossip easily without need to worry the people next table might hear you.

Love the natural light shine through the glass panel and occasionally surround by lush plant.

Aiming for larger space for 20-people party/celebration? I just had a farewell dinner with my collegues in the private room upstairs. In my opinion, it can fit around 20 people here.

FOOD

Took only 3 cake photos, but I reckon it should be displayed here. Something eye candy and lustful for sweet tooth. Never had I came across Matcha Cream with Buttercream. The cakes here are from The Humble Pie, which is also under the food management of Yellow Apron.

Fresh Fruit Juice RM 12.50

Green Apple | Left

Passion Fruit and Carrot | Middle

Passion Fruit |Right

My colleague ordered Green Apple + Pineapple which is way much better than Green Apple alone! Hence, would advise you order mix fruit juice rather than single. Whether it is mixed or single fruit juice, it still cost the same.

I personally like the fruit juice here very much. It is just an ordinary cup of fruit juice without any secret recipe. It is merely fruit without any sugar. You would instantly know it if you used to blend fruit juice at home.

An aesthetic view before going upstairs into the private room. A view that is so simple and hard to ignore.

Mademoiselle Melca's Chicken Adobo RM 20.50

Mademoiselle Melca's Chicken Adobo (Small) RM 17.50

The small portion has 2 pieces of chicekn instead of 4, also lesser rice.

Adobo refers to Marinade in Spanish term, but it's a indigenous Filipino dish. 4 pieces of chicken cooked in ginger, garlic, vinegar and soy sauce balanced with pumpkin, brinjal and long beans in a creamy coconut sauce, served with chill sauce.

The marinate render the chicken fuse with balance flavour of salty, mild spicy and the fragrance from garlic. Whereas the vege soaked in coconut sauce was a full and satisfying experience for the cream lover. Overall, it is a flavourful dish. Some might not like it for it's dense flavour.

Shepherd's Pie RM 24.50

Shredded slow roasted lamb shoulder, carrot, sweet potatoes and celery, encased in mashed potato, breadcrumbs and lamb fat, cheddar and parmesan, served with rich lamb gravy and garlic bread.

No comment given on this dish as I went here in a group, which I didn't try every single dishes ordered.

What's Your Beef Lasagne RM 22.50

What's Your Beef Lasagne (Smaller) RM 17.50

Half portion of the lasagne, less side

Choice of sides

Garden Salad | Potato Wedges

Minced beef in rich tomato sauce, layered with bechamel, basil and premium Bellaluca lasagne.

I like it so much! Wish to go for the vegetarian Lasagne next time. The cheesy filling, tomato sauce with the minced beef just like a perfect combination for a fulfilling gourmet experience in any occasion. Rate 8/10 for the dish and the big portion of it!

The Lip-Smacking Salted Egg Seafood Spaghetti Carbonara RM 28.50

The Lip-Smacking Salted Egg Seafood Spaghetti Carbonara (Small) RM 24.50

2 Tiger prawns, two green mussels, fried anchovies, salted egg yolk,egg curry leaves, asparagus, sprinkled parmesan cheese , chilli flakes and black pepper.

The above seafood carbonara was a small portion one. I was amazed by the fusion of asian taste into this exotic dish. It smelled heavily with anchovies when it served. Would definitely come here for this exotic fusion carbonara!

The Smoky Spicy Mushroom Olio Spaghetti (Chicken Sausage)

A mushroom medley chunked with lots of vege and even lemon zest! The name of the various ingredients hint it would be delicious. The taste has resemblance to 'Char Kuey Tiow'. So perhaps to my high expectation, it doesnt really taste nice. But a promising fulfilling dish.

The Smoky Spicy Mushroom Olio Spaghetti (Beef Sausage)

The Smoky Spicy Mushroom Olio Spaghetti

Vegetarian | RM 20.50

Chicken Sausage | RM 25.50

Beef Sausage | RM 26.50

Lamb Sausage | RM 27.50

Smaller portion reduced by RM 4.

VERDICT

As I am writing now, I realise the name of all the dishes here are so special. And this is not a western cafe but with westernise concept. Looking into the list of the food here, it actually cater vegetarian too. So you can ask your vegetarian friends to have a cup of tea here.

The food here really vary. Some are really delicious and their portion is so generous which I would say... certain dishes here worth the price.

Will come here again to try on the cake too! Imma sweet tooth!
