TEATIME @ WEST 57TH STREET CAFE, PARKSON PAVILION, KUALA LUMPUR


the chairs here get all dressed up in the label


Last weekend, we did a little retail therapy - a little hard to resist
especially when every shop you walk into was having those magic words - "sale"
that seems to make you reach deep into your wallet. After a long day zipping
through town from Kampung Baru, KLCC, Pudu and finally Pavilion, we settled for
a teatime snack at this cafe nestled within the department store.


even the glasses that fill a tangy fruit tea punch (One for RM6+) are "labeled"

Unlike the other outlet in Sungai Wang Plaza, this place was nice and bright -
all white with chairs dressed up in grey outfits with the Zang Toi label. Opened
by the ever famous Malaysian designer - the only one who has made it big
overseas, the cafe serves pretty good food. From what we spied at the next
table, their set meals are definitely good deals (the sandwich looked enormous).
Unfortunately since we were quite full, we opted for drinks and a snack instead.



pandan flavoured sponge cake with cream, chocolate sauce and bananas (RM8 per
slice)

Since we needed a cool drink, it was their tangy fruit punch we ordered - a
delicious concoction made from tea and loads of diced fruits to give it extra
flavour. Really refreshing stuff that I could have drank more.


decadent chocolate banana cake (RM8 per slice)


A must-have is the chocolate banana cake - rich layers of chocolate cake with
sliced bananas. What I loved about the cake is it is rich and chocolatey plus
the bananas are just ripe. You can opt to eat it with ice cream but this time
round, we decided to eat it a la mode. Another version they have of this cake is
made with pandan sponge cake - very delicate flavour drizzled with a cream sauce
and also filled with banana cakes. Unlike the rich chocolately taste of the
other cake, this one was more subtle and will suit someone who prefer a lighter
taste.

For fans of the label, they also sell decorative flowers, mirrors and leather
items to keep stationery, photos and etc. around the cafe.
