Hey lovelies!
Time for yet another food review! This time, me and my girls tried out Pokok KL @ Mahsa University! Been wanting to try this cafe but waited until the hype died down a little. Thankfully it wasn’t packed because we went on a Friday afternoon after a heavy thunderstorm. The cafe was cold (perfect nap weather), best time to chill especially when the cafe is designed like a glasshouse.
It’s located in Mahsa University near Jaya One. Parking is easily available both in the university and outside. The cafe is right at the Mahsa University entrance.
Mains range from RM15 to RM35. Would say it’s a pretty standard cafe pricing in Klang Valley.
We were expecting it to taste like rose latte, because of all the rose petals garnish on top, but instead it tastes bland and like some powdered drink. We tried to guess what it was, our guess was beetroot due to the pinkish colour
This has gotta be the most perfect poached eggs I’ve ever seen! The dish was served with an open-faced salmon on top of sourdough toasts, topped with eggs benedict, salad (no dressing) and tater tots (potatoes). Yummmm
This dish was unfortunately a miss for us. The pesto sauce has a strong basil taste (like how it should taste) but that’s the reason why I didn’t like it lololol. I preferred my pesto sauce with a heavier garlic ratio compared to basil. The grilled chicken breast was dry as well huhuhu. On the bright side this dish is big enough for two persons.
Hohoho this dish was my favourite! And reasonably priced too! After I ate this I’ve been thinking of when to pay a visit just to get this sandwich again! I’m sucker for any dish with mushrooms tbh, and especially portobello mushrooms (love their earthy flavour). They served it with a side of truffle fries and chili mayo dipping sauce.
Tiffany H’s ratings!:
Price: $$$ – Typical cafe food pricing 😀 Prices shown on the menu is excluding service tax 6%
Food: ✦✦✦✦✧ 4/5 – Loved the smoked salmon benedict and portobello sandwich. Could improve on the beverages though. Coffee isn’t strong enough. 🙂
Atmosphere: ✦✦✦✦✦ 5/5 – Every spot is Instagram-able and a feast to the eyes. Well decorated and attention put into details on the food presentation, cutlery and furniture. Perfect for a date or brunch with friends. Staffs are friendly too! 🙂
