#jommakanathilton @doubletreekl.

For those who followed me on social media, especially Facebook, you’d probably know that I am somewhat a Japanese anime addict. My all time favourites are Dragonball, Sailormoon, Naruto, Gundam SEED, just to name a few. I’m also very much into cooking anime and Mukbang (live social eating program), and I have always been impressed with Japanese method of cooking and delicacies, and so, when I heard about Bakery Cafe Hachi, a well-known Japanese bakery in Malaysia that serves plenty of authentic Japanese pastries, I knew that I had to check it out, going against my diet of non-carbs these days.

Here’s yours truly with the chef at Bakery Cafe Hachi in their outlet in 1 Mont Kiara. While most Japanese bakeries in Malaysia used local ingredients,Bakery Cafe Hachi does not spare the materials and used only only the finest ingredients imported flour from Japan to ensure the authenticity of their pastries’ taste and texture.

Check it out. Bakery Cafe Hachi offers more than 40 types of Japanese pastries. The best part? They are baked fresh daily and you can practically smell the waffling fragrance of goods being baked at the cafe.

My first impression is that since the ingredients came from Japan, the price will probably point to the ceiling. But I was wrong. Despite the quality, the price are pretty much affordable, and rivaled any other bakeries around.

Bakery Cafe Hachi offers both sweet and savoury types of pastries

Here’s yours truly getting her hands on some of the pastries

Here are some of the highlights from their offerings that I think is worth your calories at Bakery Cafe Hachi; clockwise from top: Salty Butter (RM3.20), Hachi Toast Bread (RM7.40), Anpan Koshi (RM3.20), Melon Bun (RM3.40), Yakisoba Bun (RM6.20) and Croquette Sandwich (RM5.90).

Anpan Koshi (RM3.20) is a soft, buttery bun filled generously with fine red bean paste. The filling is not cloyingly sweet and just nice to my liking.

Melon Bun (RM3.40) is something I usually spot in my favourite anime and to be able to have a bite on em is a real pleasure. The bun is coated with cookie crumbs and is delightfully sweet.

Salty Butter (RM3.20) may look simple, but highly satisfying. Made with high grade butter and perfectly flavoured with sea salt, this is highly recommended,especially for those who prefers buns with buttery taste.

Yakisoba Bun (RM6.20). Need a quick meal but don’t really have time to really sit and eat but need to kill the hunger pang? Grab the Yakisoba bun. Filled neatly with perectly fried Yakisoba noodles, this ‘noodle meal in a bun’ is not convenient to eat, but delicious as well.

Croquette Sandwich (RM5.90). Filled with fat, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside potato croquette, this sandwich is great for those who want a quick comfort meal.

Hachi Toast Bread (RM7.40). The Hachi Toast bread is a must try for all bread lovers. The thickly sliced bread loaf is really soft, milky and buttery. Great on it’s own, but I personally would recommend you to simply pair it with fruit preserves and cheese as the Hachi Toast Bread will make give you an entire different experience, trust me.

Apart from the regular Japanese pastries, Hachi Bakery Cafe also offers a decent selection of all-day brunch menu.

I would recommend their wonderful selection of burgers and sandwiches for those who would like a well-balanced meal. Here’s having their Prawn Salad, Croque Madame, Foccacia Sandwich with Avacado and Salmon and Teriyaki Burger during my most recent visit. The portion is pretty huge and makes quite a decent sharing meal, I must say. They are also offering fruit juices alongside with a selection of hot drinks like coffee and tea.

Prawn Salad (Rm16.00). The prawn salad is great for those who wants loads of greens in their meal. Not compromising on protein, the prawn salad is is topped generously with fat and juicy fresh prawns. A good bet if you want something healthy.

Croque Madame (Rm13.00). A croque madame (French for “madam crunch”) is a variant of ham sanwich topped with a fried egg. The name is based on the French word, croquer (“to bite, to crunch”) and the word madame (“lady”). This classic ham sandwich from France is drizzled with bechamel sauce and topped with fried eggs and served with a healthy portion of salad on the side. Love this to bits. Deliciously comforting on the palate.

Foccacia Sandwich with Avacado and Salmon (RM16.00). For those who are working out or on a diet, you will like this foccacia sandwich with avacado and salmon. The foccacia is filled with thick smoke salmon and avacado, both ingredients that provides good source of protein and healthy fat.

Teriyaki Beef Burger (RM16.00) comes with thick beef patty and drizzled generously with sweet Teriyaki sauce. If you love your burgers sweet, then this is a must order, otherwise, just play safe and get their Classic Burger instead.

Matcha Latte (Rm12.00) and Cafe Mocha (Rm12.00) makes a great “pick me up drink”, so if you’re feeling lethargic or simply want something to perk up a little, just order these.

One for the album. Yours truly with family and friends at Cafe Bakery Hachi. Overall, dining at Cafe Bakery Hachi is really pleasant. Great ambiance, wide selection of pastries and warm meal that is perfect for sharing. And a bonus? The price won’t burn your pockets too. What else can we ask for besides great companionship here? I have nothing more to ask for.

Anyway, Cafe Bakery Hachi will be having their 1 year anniversary party at the 1 Mont Kiara outlet and they are offering 20% off on all items sold+FREE cash vouchers.

What’s the worst thing that could happen to a writer? Well, personally speaking, what’s worst that could happen to me as a writer is being hit by the writer’s block and feeling terribly burned out an uninspired. Writer’s block usually hit me when I feel awfully stressed up with my workload. March was one of those crazily hectic month where I feel pretty much dead inside and out and I was in a serious need of de-stress. As much as I want to go for an eco-escapade again to escape reality for a little while and just get lost in the jungle somewhere, I just couldn’t do so. There’s too much work commitments for me, so getting out of Kuala Lumpur is simply out of the question, so instead of my usual camping and hiking trip whenever I feel overwhelmed, I decided to have a relaxing staycation instead at RED by Sirocco.

RED by Sirocco is a beautiful hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Easily recognizeable by this beautiful mural. This alone is beautifully inspirational, I must say. This mural was painted by a renowned Malaysian graffiti artist by the name of Kenji Chai and it beautifully graces the entire length of one side of the external hotel building’s wall. It took him 10 hours to paint the mural daily and it was completed it in 21 days. The title of this mural is the ‘Courage to Dream’ but it’s better known around as The Sleeping Dayak Girl. You may look up all about this mural on social media by using the hashtag #sleepingdayakgirl. The Sleeping Dayak girl is currently the tallest mural in Malaysia, endorsed by The Malaysia Book of Records.

RED by Sirocco is one of the latest four-star boutique hotels to open in town and it is conveniently located along Jalan Kamunting in the Chow Kit area of Kuala Lumpur. It can easily be reachable via Dang Wangi LRT and Bukit Nanas Monorail. Located just beside the well known banana leaf restaurant; BaRnana Leaf and spa; The RUB Bar, this hotel seems small from the outside. But once you step in, the hotel tells an entirely different story from the inside.The interior of the hotel screams nothing but classy and chic with a hint of minimalism. As per it’s namesake, everything is decorated in red theme.

RED by Sirocco’s lobby is chic and welcoming. The staff here are also very warm and helpful.

The lobby is decorated in an artistically contemporary manner. Artworks can be spotted hanging around on the wall at the lobby and waiting area. If you are a fan of all things artsy, you’ll like the deco cuz you’ll feel as if you’ve ventured into an art gallery’s exhibition hall.

Business centre at the lobby offers complimentary usage of the desktops.

Here’s my room. It’s an Executive room that comes with beautiful view overlooking KL Tower at the balcony. Another note worthy thing about the rooms in RED by Sirocco is that they are not only equipped with air conditioner but comes with a ceiling fan as well. That’s really environmental friendly and praise-worthy in my opinion.

Comfy King sized bed is definitely a cure for insomnia.

My room came with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and a huge 49” LCD TV.

Bathroom was really spacious. I guess it’s designed for couples.

Shower booth comes with complimentary toiletries that you can bring back.

Vanity table with plenty of light. This is simply love at first sight for little vainpots like me.

Towelling robe and iron can be found in the wardrobe.

The Executive room is also equipped with a spacious study area, making it a perfect room for those who are here not only for leisure but for business as well.

Sparkling night view from the balcony of my room.

The mini bar is interesting; instead of the regular instant coffee and tea satchet, guests gets to brew their own capsule espresso and traditional Chinese tea.

Cafes Richard Coffee Machine. Cafes Richard is a world famous French cafe that serves delicious food and coffers and so far there is only one of it in Malaysia; in SkyAvenue at Resorts World Genting.I’ve been to Cafes Richard in SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting and their cold drip coffees are to die for. And the one that’s brewed by this capsule machine is equally good. A must try if you’re staying at RED by Sirocco.

Traditional teapot for you to brew Chinese tea. I can’t read Chinese, so I’m not sure what tea are these. I suppose they must be from the famous variant, from the look of the packaging.

I’m not much a coffee drinker but I couldn’t resist a cuppa first thing in the morning during my stay. It serves as a wonderful pick me up drink to perk me up for the rest of the day.

I was at RED by Sirocco for a rest&relax weekend, but I’m not the sort of person who likes to slack off when it comes to working out. After all, I kinda feel like I’ve been out of shape these days due to all my foodie adventures. So I decided to check out The Fitness Centre at RED by Sirocco and I’m glad that I did. It’s complimentary to be used by in-house guests and it’s decently equipped with weights and cardio equipments. Not forgetting that it’s sufficiently mirrored, making it a perfect place for my cardio dance routine. Here’s yours truly working out, first thing in the morning before breakfast.

I had my breakfast at The Rogue Club. The Rouge Club is actually a cool sky club that doubles as a cafe in the morning during breakfast time.

The inifinity pool overlooking beautiful city view at The Rouge Club. I wanted to take short morning swim at the pool after my workout, but it was drizzling that morning. Swimming while raining is a no no, so I had to shelve that idea and just enjoy my breakfast instead.

The Rouge Club may look all serene and calm, located on the 25th floor of RED by Sirocco, but at night, it’s a perfect place for a night out with friends. The place served a variety of cocktails, with DJs and live bands playing music on weekends or special occasions.

The Rouge Club offers plenty of delicious things for breakfast ranging from local delights like Nasi Lemak, Noodles and Porridges to Western Style Breakfast, but I like my breakfast light instead of heavy and so I assembled my own sandwich from the pastry and cheese section and paired it with a cup of fruit yogurt.

Decicing to make the most out of my staycation, I visited The RUB Bar for more R&R ‘ME’ time before I leave.

The RUB Bar (a word play on ‘raba’ which translates to ‘to rub’ in English) was recently opened to both Malaysians and tourists at RED by Sirocco Kuala Lumpur. The spa offers premium quality services and products at a really reasonable prices.

The RUB Bar has its own natural wellness products such as aromatherapy oils for detoxification, lotions for muscle relief and relaxing as well as body scrubs.

Checking out the Fun Soap section. These are among their bestsellers and customers’ all time favourite.

Wanderbath soaps and bath bombs spotted over here too.

You may also customise your own ‘The RUB Bar Body Scrub’ or lotion to your own liking.

But what I’m here for is their massage. With more than 10 treatment areas for guests to enjoy some private “ME” time, The RUB Bar is a sanctuary for those who wants to rejuvenate their bodies.

I went for the foot Reflexology and Body Massage package and here’s my therapist giving me a footbath before proceeding with the massage.

Getting massaged. It feels so good but here’s trying my best not to laugh out loud when the therapist was massaging my feet cuz I’m awfully ticklish there.

Once the foot reflexology session is up, I was ushered upstairs to the curtained treatment are.

Sorry guys, no pictures of me here. I was in nothing but my panties and a towel as my therapist massaged my body. I was told that it was just a basic traditional Malaysian massage, but it feels pretty much like magic to me. I feel so relaxed that I fell asleep during the treatment.

A picture of me after the treatment. I felt so rejuvenated and relaxed that I thought that it’ll be really nice if I can just go back to the room and sleep. But alas, the clock already stroke 12 and I needed to check out and return to the realm of reality. Such a shame.

My staycation at RED by Sirocco is short, but really relaxing and rejuvenating. I usually prefer eco-escapades to staycations like this, but I have to say that it recharged me much more than my camping or trekking trips. A perfect remedy for a tired mind and body. I guess I’ll be back here again soon for more R&R treats when I feel all stressed out again.

Love banana leaf rice? As a true blue Malaysian inside out, I sure do love to indulge in banana leaf rice whenever I have terrible cravings for carbs. Just the thought of a plate loaded up with piping hot rice flooded by spicy curries and surrounded with a variety of fresh vegetable dishes and addictive papadoms is enough to salivate me.

There are plenty of restaurants serving banana leaf rice in Kuala Lumpur, but here’s one in Kuala Lumpur that’s pretty impressive; the BaRnana Leaf. The quaint restaurant is located next to BaRkery at Red Hotel by Sirocco with an open bar space outside the establishment.

What’s usually highlighted here is the basic banana leaf set that comes with rice and three types of vegetables and a curry, but if you are looking for more to tease your palate, visit BaRnana Leaf restaurant on Sunday and ask for their Briyani Rice.

Here’s yours truly deciding to try some Briyani Rice during her visit. They are offering briyani rice in three varieties; Vegetarian Briyani, Chicken Briyani and Mutton Briyani. Visiting with family and friends, we decided to order all three and share em among ourselves.

What’s interesting is that the large portion of fragrant Briyani Rice are served in a special clay pot wear.

Vegetarian Briyani (RM12.00). As the name suggested, this briyani rice is cooked only with vegetables and is topped with boiled egg(you may opt to omit the eggs if you’re a strict vegetarian). It may look like nothing much, but among all of the briyani rice that are offered here at the restaurant, the Vegetarian Briyani is my favourite. The spices are not overwhelming and is pretty light on the palate.

Chicken Briyani (RM18.00). The chicken was tender and the briyani rice was practically bursting with flavours. Those who likes strong tasting food will definitely love the chicken briyani.

Mutton Briyani (RM24.00). A fan of meaty food? Go for the mutton briyani. It’s pretty promising. The rice was really fragrant with herbs and spices. No worries about the usual gamey smell that comes from the mutton. There was absolutely none in this one, I assure you. The mutton absorbed the spices really well and complemented the rice perfectly.

After all the lovely briyani rice, you may choose to wash down the briyani rice meals with a cup of tea or coffee, but do note that this is a fusion of a bar and a restaurant, so if you feel like getting a sip of those adult drinks, don’t be shy, simply ask for a glass of cocktail or two.

The claypot briyani is only available on Sundays from 12pm-4pm.
