Esther's Coffee Hop | Bookmark Coffee, Cheras

Good coffee always inspires me. What fascinates me more is their artistic, captivating latte art and Bookmark Coffee possibly has the combination of both criteria.

Due to the influence of social media such as Instagram, we came across some random customized latte arts and their checked-in location is none other than Bookmark Coffee.

Situated nearby the UCSI University, the same row as Starbucks Coffee, this cosy cafe has one major highlight to attract their customers. Patrons can customize their very own latte art/design on the coffee they wish to purchase. 

Step 1: Add the cafe's contact into your what's app/wechat friend list

Step 2: Send the design you wanted to be featured in your coffee art later 

Step 3: Sit back and get your camera ready because it will be "Instagramable" :) 

TADA..my coffee is here! Absolutely jaw-dropping!

This is the design I wish to be personalised into my coffee, the adorable rabbit-pig from a famous Korean drama~

Boyfie's design is the Dutch windmill at Keukenhof~ 

Such a talented barista. *Applause*

Our coffee completed with our meals.

Esther's Food Search | Buffet at Contango, The Majestic Hotel

I'm always in love with the month of July. It has always been a special month for my family as we have two family members celebrating birthdays in the same month. Yes, both me and my mum are July babies~ Our birthdays are just 5 days apart from each other~ Every year, we will get to choose where we want to celebrate and this year is no exception. We decided to go for lunch buffet at Contango in The Majestic Hotel. Kuala Lumpur.

The Majestic Hotel is under YTL and was built in the year of 1932. It is documented as one of the national heritage sites in Malaysia and located facing the Kuala Lumpur railway station.
