Kaffe Cafe @ TTDI, Kuala Lumpur

Finished a meeting at 4.30 pm today in the city center and it made no sense for me to head back to office and then back home in the traffic jam. Instead I went over to Taman Tun Dr Ismail in search of a good cafe where I could have my late lunch or early dinner, however it is called and at the same time have a conducive environment for me to respond to some emails and settle some unfinished work. Driving around my favourite locality in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, I discovered this Cafe called Kaffe Cafe. To those who are familiar with this area, it is located at the row of shops facing the houses and just next door to the pet shop.

Kaffe Cafe @ TTDI, Kuala Lumpur

Lighted Sign on the wall
I got into the shop and it seemed reasonably crowded, mostly regulars there I guess.

Decor at the entrance

The Smoking Area
The Cafe is split into two areas, an open smoking area as well as the air conditioned area. I would strongly recommend you to sit in the open area as it is pretty warm inside.

The Counter

Cakes, Pastries and Sandwiches
Once inside, I observed that this place was manned by just two people but I guess that was quite enough. Orders are self service just like other bakeries. They only have a single dish of Spaghetti as the main course and all other items were pretty much the above cakes, pastries and sandwiches. The cakes surely looked good but I was not in the mood for cakes today. Having placed and paid for my orders, I took a seat inside which I later regretted as it was extremely warm.The dishes are then sent to your table.

Triangle Egg Sandwich @ RM 5.50
Well, for this price and the concept of this cafe, I deem this to be very cheap. It was served in a classy manner with additional Potato Chips similar to hotels. The taste was pretty good too. As for the bread, they had two varieties, white and whole meal. I would rate this 8/10 . Value for money.

Chicken Pie @ RM 5.00
Well, firstly this was pretty small, similar to those that we pay RM 3.50 for. It should have been made slightly bigger. The taste was also quite average. I did not like this that much and of course, this may vary person to person. I would only rate this 3/10 .

Green Tea Latte @ RM 10.00

This drink is highly recommended. It was done very well and I would rate it 9/10 as it deserves it. Only setback is that it was a little too sweet for me. Perhaps they should let the guests sweeten it to their taste. Definitely a no go for diabetics.

Triangle Tuna Sandwich @ RM 5.50
As I went on working there till around 8.30 pm, I bought back two items home for the rest and that is why you see a different counter top surface along with the plastic wrapping. This was pretty good, just like the sandwich I had had earlier. Of course, when you take away you do not get those additional Potato Chips and this is practiced everywhere. Price for this is also pretty decent. I would rate this 8/10 .

Egg & Cheese Sandwich @ RM 9.50

Egg & Cheese Sandwich @ RM 9.50
This was another item that I bought back. This was really huge and worth every cent spent. The Egg and Cheese spread was much more lavish here and the bread absolutely delicious. I would rate this 9/10 . Definitely a recommended sandwich here.

On the whole, this place is pretty cool weather you are chilling with friends or even working alone like me. It is also a good place to grab a cuppa and a sandwich while reading a book. Pretty quiet and very conducive for reading. I definitely loved the environment. Price is surely not too expensive and they have good Wifi too. On the whole, the bill including Service Tax came to RM 39.05 .

  3. The egg and cheese sandwich you brought home was a definite winner for that cafe, I think!

  5. 敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。

    Mr Lim Sok Chia敬啟
