brunch @ Haikara Style Cafe & bakery

A quick foodie post...

this cute and quaint cafe/bakery is just a 3 minutes walk from my house...and yet i haven't tried it...until today..

Haikara Style Cafe & Bakery
E-Tiara Service Apartments
GF Jalan SS16/1Subang Jaya
Tel :03-5630 0743
(Pork free. Open from 9.30 to 6pm daily except Mondays. Parking is available in front or at the visitors carpark at E-Tiara apartments.)

this cafe is run by a japanese couple...and when i was dining there several japanese customers came to buy some bread from the bakery, must be pretty good and authentic. and it was rather amusing to hear them speak japanese. kawaii~

the place is cozy and filled with cute japanese deco..koi kites, fans, the lucky cat etc. its just so different...

the bakery counter and the dessert/pastry counter. filled with goodies like eclairs (chocolate, mocha, and caramel), banana roll, cake rolls with mochi, chestnut cake & cream puffs. the bread is freshly made everyday. yummy.

coffee, served with cream (in a mini jug...so adorable) and sugar to add to your own taste. coffee was quite good...
most meals come with soup, salad and a butter roll. the clear soup is piping hot and has herbs and ground pepper floating in it. looks kinda weird but it its very good. nice, soothing and comforting....with some shredded carrots and small cubes of potatoes.

my dad went for the seafood aglio olio (RM25 for a set with soup, coffee and butter roll) which was quite tasty and had generous amount of seafood (prawns and squid). Would have preferred it to be spicier though. Hehehe:P

I had the Chicken Korokke set (RM12) which came with 3 pieces of croquettes lightly drizzled with sauce, a side salad and 2 soft bread rolls. it was also served with soup (Since it had good reviews :D)
this is a wonderful and filling (believe me!!) dish. the croquettes were fried to perfection. outside was crispy and inside was hot, creamy and absolutely satisfying! its not oily and the combination of potatoes and chicken was just right! an ultimate comfort food!

a nice golden brown butter roll. their bread rocks!! its really good. its warm, fresh and soft.

had a difficult time choosing ONE dessert (due to limited tummy space) went for the banana roll (rm5) at last cos it seems the "most worth it"
good choice :D outside is like a swiss roll and inside is custard and cream with a banana in the centre. nice combination and a sweet ending :D
this is a nice place to dine but prices are quite steep! definitely worth a second visit :D
plus the service was good, the people are super nice and polite!!
