"Have you had your cup of Joe?"
At Caffeinated, it's not just about your average cup of coffee namely latte, cappuccino or americano. You can expect to find interesting fusion of alcohol and other barista's creation to satisfy not only the tastebuds, but also providing a fresh and unique experience to coffee lovers.
Simple interior perfect to chill after a long day of work, or relaxing during weekend with friends and family.
Avid coffee drinkers will definitely appreciate the house blend medium roast
which comprises of
Sumatra, Mexico,
Brazil and
Columbia blend of coffee beans.
Espresso Martini (RM18)
Containing espresso, Kahlua & Vodka, this cocktail coffee might be tad
strong at the first sip. But the interesting combo could be quite addictive and
enjoyable especially for those who loves this type of combination.
Affogato (RM14)
The key to a good affogato is not just only the espresso, but also the
quality of ice-cream used. Here at Caffeinated, this creamy and satisfying dessert
coffee is a success thanks to Kapiti brand being used - Ponulukawa Honey
flavour to be specific. The mild honey flavour went very well with the
espresso, making it a satisfying treat indeed.
Lemongrass Heineken (RM11)
Who would have thought this special combination could work so well together.
First sip and I was sold as the after flavour was really surprisingly
refreshing. It’s similar to Shandy minus all the extra gas haha. Well I don’t
mind having a glass of this after a long day at work to unwind.
Bailey’s Tiramisu (RM17)
Dessert in a drink? No problem. Sipping in a smooth concoction made of
espresso, milk, mascarpone cheese and Bailey’s Irish Cream makes a good
alternative to the usual tiramisu cake version. Everything just blends well
together.
MOFO Deluxe Chocolate (RM15)
Made from 100% Belgium Chocolate, I thought that this could be more rich and
thick in flavour. I would say it’s a lighter version of hot chocolate. Dark
Chocolate Float (RM15) still wins my heart over this, not to mention the Kapiti
ice cream used here. Also a type of dessert coffee, this tastes more creamy and
bolder in chocolate flavour.
Orange & Black (RM10)
Simply a mix of coffee & orange juice – It’s either you love it or you
don’t.
Big Breakfast (RM22)
A hearty platter consisting wild
mushroom, scrambled eggs, German sausage, turkey ham, smoked chicken ham, salad
with sesame dressing & cocktail tomatoes.
Mushroom Pizza (RM20)
Neatly arranged toppings on a non-oily, thin and crispy pizza base. Could hardly
go wrong with this combination. What makes this pizza special was the BBQ sauce
instead of usual tomato puree on pizza base. A little tangy yet savoury from
the cheese, guilt free pizza is on your way.
German Sausage Baguette (RM18)
A good quick lunch option for office
people nearby. Whole wheat baguette is used making it a healthier option. Again
the sausage was tad dry.
Carbonara with Mushroom (RM15)
Creamy and fairly large portion for a reasonable price, yet loaded with
fresh button, shiitake & shimeiji mushrooms. Just the right creaminess
coating on al dente pasta, easily becoming one of the most popular dishes among
the patrons.
Coffee Pomodoro with Smoked Duck
(RM16)
Living up to its name of ‘Caffeinated’,
the pasta is infused with coffee and fried with minced chicken, served with
smoked duck slices. It’s an acquired taste as the bitter flavour might be tad
overpowering for some folks. I would have preferred if it has more sour kick from tomato pomodoro sauce. The smoked duck slices were pretty addictive as it
was well executed.
Mushroom with White Sauce (RM15)
I’m feeling that this is a mushroom feast, but I don’t mind as Caffeinated
did pretty well in their dishes so far. This is a type of comfort food at its
best. This essentially contains shiitake, shimeiji, white button in heavy cream
sauce, served with Muesli toast. While the cream sauce was a little sweet, it
had the right consistency and fragrant flavour, complimenting well with the
crunchy and healthy Muesli toast. I love the toast a lot as the sweet flavour
from the raisins gave extra flavours overall.
Sharing platter – Under the Sea
(RM80 nett) for 2-3 pax
It’s rare that a café serves sharing
platter like this. Combo of prawns, squids, Dory fish, Foot-Long, German and
Spicy French sausage, corn, nacho chips, fries, salad with sesame dressing and
aglio-olio spaghetti, served with lemon butter sauce, mayo and wasabi mayo.
While I find the seafood fresh, but the flavours from the butter sauce were
pretty bland and sausages were little dry. Could do with a little more tweaking
in flavours though.
A slice of Tiramisu mille crepe
(RM11) & latte (RM9) to end the meal. The cake was pretty good in my books-
each layer is just nicely stacked together and tasted not too cloying. While
the latte was ‘a basic done right’- strong body, right acidity, smooth with
right temperature.
