Happy Lunar New Year! It's coming to an end though. My friends were quite busy at the start of the new year, so we waited until 12th day to meet up. This time around, we choose a cafe named Gardenage in Kota Kemuning, it's the first for me, while my friends went there before. All mentioned the place environment was very good.
As per the restaurant name, it is so green. The front part of the restaurant was filled with plants, there's a hanging wisteria like plant (albeit it is green), I couldn't resist the urge to touch it to know whether it's a fake plant or not, well, it feels like true leaves. The plants are so beautiful.
The environment inside the restaurant is very cozy too. We had our lunch besides an aquarium. So calming.

I ordered salted egg pasta, my friend got spaghetti and risotto. All tasted good. I saw kombucha in the menu too, I ordered kombucha pink guava.

Below is the salted egg pasta with karaage. I like karaage, although it's difficult to get fried chicken that is not tasty in Malaysia, karaage type still one of my favourites.

I have wanted to try kombucha for a long time. However, not many restaurants carried this and when it's available, normally it's for dinner. I would have sleepless night if I drink tea at night. Kombucha is still tea after all, although it's fermented. Well, I couldn't taste the tea though, not a bad drink, but not so like tea as I had imagined.

Well, I could sleep after this kombucha drink at noon, ok, I think the caffeine is fermented away? Maybe, I don't know. Only one of us had caffeine drink. Not so young anymore, cannot drink caffeinated drinks like we are in our 20s.

My and my friends had a very nice chats, although we stayed near to each other. With own commitments, it's difficult to meet up. I really appreciate all the meet ups.
