Cat In The Box, Empire Damansara, Damansara Perdana

Empire Damansara is such a "hidden" gem in Damansara Perdana...
when i first heard about this place was my friend talking about a cafe there...
my first experience wasn't really good~
i lost my way up from the car park and was really a tough journey...
it's funny though~ i was cursing and swearing that i will never return to this building...
but now, i was kinda addicted to this place... 
why? here comes the story...
it was the last day of March,
a meeting with the young entrepreneur was arranged in a very nice cafe...
and we had our hearty meal for two over there~
hearty meal for two
 looking at the menu, nothing much to choose~
after some discussion, we decided to go safe...
to have the pie recommended by the lady boss and the sandwich...
simply food and beautiful environment at
- Cat In The Box -
Cat In The Box
i was once wondering whether there's cat in the cafe...
no, there's no cat in the cafe~
owner is a cat lover but she too understand there are people who scare of cat too...
first sight
pushed the door open and this came into my eyes...
very spacious and lots of natural light...
drawing board
the huge black board caught my attention...
"life is too short for bad coffee"
so true!!
seating arrangement
there are plenty of seats, in different styles~
pick your preference and have some nice moments...
by the window
a nice place to hang around during rainy day~
overlooking the busy street with lots of green in front...
i'm in love with it...
zakka area
this area is selling handmade items from various artists...
if you have stuff for sale, you can also bring it here and discuss with the owner...
svmmer is selling her hand-draw postcard here~
do support her if you drop by... ;-)
counter
beautiful counter where all drinks and food are prepared...
don't get me wrong, they do not cook there...
they cater healthy lunch box from Dah Makan~
the menu seem quite interesting...
notice board
a tiny notice board on the counter, saying that their rooftop is open for seating~
but now, the rooftop is closed for renovation until further notice...
i've yet to check out the rooftop area as it was raining on my first visit...
too hot to go up on the second time... =P
Hot Chocolate  RM 10.00 & Mocha  RM 12.00
one of the best hot chocolate that i've ever had...
i used to fancy hot chocolate a lot before i fell for coffee~
now that i have to stop my caffeine intake, chocolate has again became my best mate...
Cat In The Box uses the Belgium chocolate to make their drinks~
mocha and chocolate, both have Belgium chocolate in it...
so, yes! their mocha is one of the best in town too... =)
The Roy Cohn Sandwich  RM 15.00
we wanted food so badly and we were really lazy to go somewhere else...
walked to the counter and looked at the menu...
we finally decided to have the sandwich with turkey ham~
it looks pretty simple and normal...
but trust me, you wouldn't want to miss it if you are in this cafe...
i'm kinda addicted to it, the mustard seed sauce enhanced the taste of the whole combination...
heavenly good! 
Fancy Curried Lamb Pie  RM 15.00
my favourite lamb pie is always Shepherd's pie...
i don't mind trying out some other lamb pies, but this curried lamb pie is not my piece of pie...
not because it tasted awfully, svmmer enjoyed it very much~
is only i do not fancy the taste of cumin...
overall the pie tasted quite okay...
crispiness of the skin was just nice and the meat inside was pretty generous...
photo shooting time

like i said, this corner is a very nice photo spot...
we had a few good pictures there~
again i have to mention, best seats on a rainy day...
if you like sitting under the sun, you can also choose to sit here on a sunny day of course... =P

Cat In The Box, a cafe with an owner who is a cat lover...
but fret not, there's no cat in the cafe~
the environment is really good, is a place where i can spend my whole day there...
food wise, like i said, they cater hot food from Dah Makan...
or you can have simple sandwich or prepared food like us...
coffee, no doubt, they serve good coffee and chocolate...
many other drinks available too~
do check them out if you happen to drop by Empire Damansara...
i'm surely returning for the sandwich...
ciao~
