One of our favourite place to hang around for a relaxing family outing and great breakfast, although it a bit pricey but we enjoy it once in a while. Total paid for Breakfast at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, RM56.40

Cheesecake
It is prepared with consistency on the art of confections, a little pinch of sourness from the cheesecake is there and the texture of the dessert is perfect. You need to focus on this cake as the mixture and the balance of the sweetness is greatly accomplished. 
Blueberry Muffin
Angelene's favourite muffin, not too dry, sweet and filling
Curry Puff
A bit of chewy texture from the puff and nicely flavor curry

Eggs Ben Breakfast Set
 I went for the Eggs Ben, basically eggs benedict on rosemary focaccia, with salad and a cup of English Breakfast Tea. It was good, the flavor of the turkey ham and the hollandaise sauce mixes well.
Egg Club Sandwich
Sandwiches are served with a small side salad, the Ham, Egg & Melted Cheese Sandwich is simply made of awesome. The ham is not heavily flavored to give way to the natural flavors of the meat. To seal the deal, the melted cheddar cheese is successful in giving character on the sandwich.

Two of Taiwan’s top chefs will be showcasing their country’s best fare at the new Xian Ding Wei, a Taiwanese tea room-style outlet, opening on July 18

WHEN he was nine years old, Chef Yu Kok Chyuan used to help out at his family-run stall selling street food such as Taiwanese beef noodle, almond milk and also crullers (char koay). Yu went on to become a chef honing his skills in China, Hongkong and Japan.
.
In 2002, he took part in the World Gourmet Summit in Singapore and was voted best in the Chinese cuisine category. Three years later, he took part in a competition organised by the Taiwanese government in which he represented his country in a cook-off against other Chinese chefs from Malaysia, Singapore, China, Korea, Japan and the US ... and won. With 30 years of experience under his belt, Yu is one of the most respected chefs in his country. Today, he and another Taiwanese award-winning chef Lin Chui Feng are the corporate chefs for SW Food & Bar Concepts Sdn Bhd. The two were in Kuala Lumpur to handle the opening of SW’s latest outlet – the Xian Ding Wei, a non-halal, Taiwanese tea room-style outlet – on June 18 at Sunway Pyramid New Wing. Yu is helping Lin to coordinate Xian Ding Wei’s kitchen and menu before he goes off to open a fine-dining Taiwanese place for SW at Mont’ Kiara. SW director Tommy Lim says the food at Xian Ding Wei will be different from other Taiwanese food outlets. "The dishes are all made from scratch. It takes hours of work. Stocks can take up to two days to prepare." Yu adds: "We will bring the original, authentic flavours of Taiwan over." Key ingredients such as spices, sauces and even the potato flour they use have to be imported as they can’t find anything of similar quality here.
Xian Ding Wei offers set meals, Taiwanese snacks, desserts and also Taiwan’s popular ice-blended drinks. There are also one-dish meals of noodles and rice. The restaurant also serves the popular Taiwanese hot-pot which is similar to the steamboat here. The stock ranges from original, herbal or spicy. Yu explains that instead of enhancers, they use ingredients such as sugar cane to give the stock a natural sweetness.

The set meals are the Taiwanese supreme chicken with three variety of sauces; Taiwan-style sweet and sour pork; beef/fish with tomato and egg sauce; stewed pork and fish with cabbage; Taiwan style deep-fried prawn roll; teppanyaki Hunan beancurd; deep-fried pork chop marinated with wine’s grain; and sweet braised squid. All these sets come with rice, three side dishes and a soup. The rice here is served topped with braised pork, just the way they serve it on the streets of Taiwan. Xian Ding Wei is located on the lower ground floor of Sunway Pyramid New Wing opposite Starbucks. It can seat 190 people in total. You can opt for the indoor dining room or the al fresco dining area outside where you get a view of the Sunway Theme Park. Xian Ding Wei is open from 10am to 10pm from Sundays to Thursdays, and from 10am to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. For reservations, call 03-5631 3322.
