Food In PJs

Smoked Chicken Breast ($5.90)

Italian Trio ($6.90)

Turkey Ham ($5.90)

The price of a regular 6" sub ranges from $4.90 to $6.90 and an additional $3.50 for a 12" footlong. The types of bread available are Crunchy, Honey Oats, Premium and Oregano Parmesan. 

We tried the Smoked Chicken Breast ($5.90) and Italian Trio ($6.90) with the Crunchy and Turkey Ham ($5.90) with the Oregano Parmesan. All came with quite a generous amount of ingredients and tasted pretty good but our favourite among the three would probably have to be the Italian Trio, which consists of beef salami, pepperoni and bacon. 

We have tried Subway® in Malaysia and after trying Toasties, we can safely say that the subs served at both are relatively comparable except that Subway® is much more generous with their meat serving.

For an additional $2.50 (+$1.00 to upsize), you can complete your meal with a choice of either cheesy nachos or cheesy sausage and a cup of soft drink (+$1.00 refill). 

Despite being a double storey cafe, it is a pretty small space with limited seating (both indoor and outdoor seating available). We had to wait quite some time before getting assigned a table but it was understandable since it was a Friday night. 

For drinks, we highly recommend getting a jug ($5), which can be shared among 3 to 4 pax, instead of individual glasses ($2) to save on cost.

Calamari Rings ($8.00)

Beef Steak ($25.90)

Seafood Aglio Olio ($15.90)

Grilled Dory ($14.90)

The food here is not bad but it isn't great but if you're looking for a convenient eatery serving affordable dishes with pretty generous portions you might want to give Vintage Delicafe a shot. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming but we were let down by their lack of efficiency. We waited for quite some time before getting our orders taken and had to wait even longer for our food to be served. The ambiance was substandard. The lighting was too dim and it was a little too noisy.

Conveniently located only a stone's throw away from Bukit Merah Bus Interchange lies a small yet cosy Halal eatery, ButterScotch Café. Only six months into its opening, business seems to be going relatively well attracting especially the Muslim community. The huge variety of sumptuous and aesthetically appealing home made desserts and speciality coffee served here never fail to leave diners wanting more.

Truffle Fries ($9)

 Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict ($16)

 Butterscotch Soufflé ($14)

** The soufflé was high and mighty when served but gradually collapsed after some time

The butterscotch soufflé is one of their specialities here so we were quite excited about it. A soufflé is a lightly baked cake made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients and should appear puffed up and fluffy. 

The soufflé was previously served with their signature butterscotch ice cream and chocolate sauce but we were informed that they've replaced it with vanilla ice cream due to their incapability of coping with the overwhelming demand. The soufflé by itself was already very flavourful, we felt that additional accompaniments weren't necessary. It tasted a little bit like roasted marshmallows at first bite. We like how it just melts in the mouth and how the taste of eggs wasn't overpowering. The lightness of the vanilla ice cream was a great accompaniment to the soufflé because it helped to subdue the richness of the soufflé. The portion served was quite generous and could definitely be shared among 2-3 people. The soufflé was a well executed and delightful dish. We'd rate this a 4.5/5

Ice cream, cakes and other sweet treats are also available.

The full product range includes Liege waffles (RM11-19), gelato (RM7/scoop), coffee (RM6-14) and milkshakes (RM16). Ranging from natural gelato, Belgian chocolate fudge, freshly whipped cream, fresh fruits and many more, the toppings offered are wide and of quality. To bring out its rich flavour, their authentic Italian style gelato is made with natural ingredients. 



We were really spoilt for choices so we decided to go for two of the three best sellers recommended by the staff. We had the Strawberry Heaven (original Liège waffle with freshly whipped cream, a drizzle of Belgian chocolate fudge and strawberries) and Go Bananas (original Liège waffle with whipped cream, banana slices, a drizzle of Belgian chocolate fudge and mixed nuts) with a scoop of Stracciatella and Panna Cookies gelato respectively. You can choose to have them just as they are or add on gelato like we did at RM7 per scoop. Also you have a choice of the finest Belgium dark, milk or white chocolate to be drizzled over your waffles. They offer both take-away and seating options but we decided to sit and enjoy our waffles over some chit chat. 

Strawberry Heaven (RM24)

The waffle was done just how we like it to be; crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It was also served warm so we knew it was freshly made. The waffle is already sweet by itself and with a scoop of Stracciatella gelato and milk chocolate drizzle you'd think its sweetness would be overwhelming but no, the generous amount of whipped cream balances it out with its almost tasteless with a light milky flavour to it. The slightly sour strawberries also helps. Stracciatella gelato is similar to the American chocolate chip ice cream. The only difference is instead of chunks of chocolate, Stracciatella has fine chocolate shavings throughout which results in a very smooth texture with the slightest crunch in every bite. Also, it has a very rich vanilla flavour and isn't overly sweet. We were very pleased with it and would rate it a 4.5/5

Go Bananas (RM24)

Go Bananas is very similar to Strawberry Heaven except for the choice of fruit topping and gelato flavour. Like the Strawberry Heaven, the whipped cream and bananas balances out the sweetness from the combination of the already sweet waffle and gelato. The Panna Cookies gelato tasted like regular cookies and cream ice cream, which is vanilla based with chunks of cookies (usually oreos) throughout, nothing special. We regretted going for something so familiar instead of venturing gelato flavours we've never had before but nonetheless, we still enjoyed what we had. We would rate Go Bananas a satisfying 4.5/5

Overall, we were very satisfied with their splendid food and swift service. Let's not delude ourselves, waffles are always good but the ones here are exceptional. It is a little punishingly priced but this indulgence is definitely worth the splurge and the calories. We would definitely go back for more the next time we're in KL. 

Iced Cappuccino ($5.50++)

We felt that it tasted quite flat and was a little too diluted for our liking. Also, it's supposedly an iced cappuccino but wasn't served with ice and it turned warm by the time our food arrived. We've had better quality coffee at a similar or even lower price. We would rate this a 2.5/5

Amelie Mocktail ($6.50++)

The base of this mocktail is just regular lemonade but the freshly diced orange and kiwi, and selasih seeds adds an interesting twist to the flavour. It was a little too sour at first but tasted better after awhile especially between mouths of food. It'd be great if they could remove the orange seeds. Apart from that, it was pleasant and thirst quenching and we would rate this a 4/5

Overall, the food was not very pleasing. We might consider going back to try their desserts but definitely not going back for a second round of their main dishes. We were also quite disappointed with the service rendered. Their staff were quite friendly but were not very efficient. Also, there was a slight mix up in our orders. The cafe is well decorated and maintained but we felt that it was a little crammed and noisy. Free wifi and powerpoint plugs are available for those who like to work on-the-go.
