Malaysia - Sugar On Top [CLOSED]


-Revisit-


Sugar On Top (SOT), a new cafe in Taman Pelangi which is known by many for their famous chilli crab pasta and charcoal waffle. First visit was with my lil sis on a Sat late afternoon and boy we ordered up a storm as we haven't had our lunch yet..hahaha! We ordered their signature chilli crab pasta and mentaiko burger for our mains, and also wedges for our sides. The chilli crab pasta was quite yummy but the portion is quite small imo, and I wish it can be more spicy. Nonetheless, the pasta was done perfectly al-dente and I love their idea to have the egg yolk on top of the pasta. The mentaiko ebi burger came quite a while after we finished our pasta and wedges. The burger was not bad but it tends to get a bit jelak after awhile, we couldn't finish the rice though..haha! On a side note, I wish the staff could have told us that the mentaiko ebi burger comes with wedges when he was taking our order, we would definitely try other sides on the menu if we know :( 

Anyway, the reason I went there was because of the charcoal waffle! I could hardly find any decent waffle in town so I was really expecting this as I heard quite a lot of good reviews. SOT was still at the "soft launch" stage when we visited, that explained why there's only 2 ice cream flavours to choose from. We chose the vanilla truffle to go with the waffle and I quite like the taste! It might sounds weird to have truffle in your ice cream but I thought it actually works..haha! The texture of the ice cream was on a more watery side which I don't really fancy but the taste make up for it. Waffle was quite decent with crispy exterior and soft texture inside. 

Revisit SOT with my bestie to try the other items on the menu. We ordered the lap cheong carbonara pasta and waffles to share. For the pasta, the usual bacon is replaced by the chinese sausage which add a twist to the carbonara and provides a fusion of western + asian! I'm not a carbonara fan but I really enjoyed the lap cheong pasta a lot, love the sauce and surprisingly it didn't get jelak at all, we polished off the plate effortlessly. I actually love this more than the chilli crab pasta..hehe! Tried their waffle for the 2nd time with bubblegum ice cream because that's the only flavour available T.T I want to try their green tea or earl grey ice cream so badly..sigh maybe next time~

Overall a cozy cafe with good ambiance and decent food, definitely worth a try if you are in town! And they open till late everyday, a good hangout place with your friends at night hehe! Oh I forgot to mention that their tagline is quite cute: WeAreNotCrazyJustSOT!

#24 What I Really Wish I Could Tell You

I wish I could tell you I am guarded because the one before you broke down all my walls and left me to deal with the ruins and I had to slowly rebuild it brick by brick. It is so hard for me to break them down again even though I really want to.  
I wish I could tell you about how he wasted my time and made me feel worthless, about the days he wasn’t there and the nights he disappeared, I wish I could tell you how weak I was with him. After that, I vowed never to feel like that again.
