Cafe Vienna opened its second outlet on Saturday at KLCC!! Yayy I don't have to go so far for my Chocolate Lava Cake anymore. Woohoo!! Like Lot 10 is very far. Lol!! It's great that there's yet another alternative place to eat in KLCC. Review for Choc Lava Cake here.

The decor is pretty much the same as their outlet at Lot 10

Keeping to the classic Austrian style cafe

Look Up!

The ceiling is a lil different here, instead of mirrors it has flying cupids/angels painted on it.. I likey!

I decided to go there for tea today. I ordered the Vienesse Iced Coffee which is one of my all time faves and a piece of cake, Opera.

I was disappointed with the Opera though. It was rather dry and lack the fine smooth taste like the Opera I had at Mandarin Oriental *droolzz~*. Then again, why am I comparing to the one at MO. Read my review for Opera at MO here.

Still, I'm excited that it's finally opened! You might bump into me there. :)

3rd Floor, KLCC

Isetan Side, TGV Floor

I realised I'm coming down with a cold when I found it difficult to wake up this morning. Now that's a bit crappy especially since it's a Saturday. But I dragged myself out of bed coz I had errands to run.

My difficult decision of the day: Should I let my bangs down? Its been 2 weeks since I said yes to bangs. Regretting it now. Looking at it and hoping it grows out abnormally fast has been irritatingly painful. I came to the conclusion that I can't rock bangs! Ignoring the choppiness of it, I tied up my hair and decided to pretend it wasn't there for the rest of the day. *Missing my usual fringe.. sob*

After getting everything sorted, I decided to go for an early lunch. Hmm.. felt like having something good. Settled on Cafe Vienna at Lot 10. Needless to say greed got the better of me. (Read my review for other Cafe Vienna dishes here.)

Seafood Paella - RM38

Mixed seafood sautéd with onion, garlic, capsicum, tomato, green peas, saffron, paprika, chicken wings, fish stock, and Spanish rice.

This was a lovely dish. The Spanish rice was perfectly cooked and they were generous with the ingredients. The only minor fault would be that it was a tad bit under seasoned.

Chocolate Cake - RM13.80

Chocolate molten cake served with vanilla ice cream.

Pretty presentation! And the cake.. ooh the cake.. baked to perfection! So light. As the spoon split the middle of the cake, the chocolate came oozing out. Such a beautiful sight. *it looked 100 times better than my bangs.. lol!* The raspberry sauce, sprinkling of ground almonds and icing sugar made for a wonderful compliment. Try this!!

Help.. Can't move!! Okie I eventually moved . As I walked through Isetan I spotted those Lancôme girls waiting by the escalator handing out something. It turned out to be lil black flowers and their Valentine's Day promotion for Lancôme Trésor In Love. Plus they are also having a Valentines Day contest. You guys like that don't you. *lol*

Valentines Day Promotion: Lancôme Trésor In Love EDP 30ml set for RM175 (NP:217)

You have to purchase any  Lancôme fragarance to be able to enter the contest.

Check out their facebook, details should be up soon.

Well that was the end of my Saturday afternoon. I got myself home and crawled back into bed. Crossing my fingers I don't get worse tomorrow and my bangs grow that bit longer..

A new place in town! That corner lot on the second floor right outside Isetan Lot 10 finally opened on Friday last week. So excited coz this meant that I'd be able to try out new desserts. *grinss*

As I walked in I was rather impressed with the decor. It had a wonderful European aura about it. Only later did I find out from Florence, one of Cafe Vienna's managers that all the furniture, fittings, prints as well as the wall paper were imported all the way from Austria by the owner! He wanted it to have an original Austrian feel from the food right down to the decor. Despite the feeling of classic simplicity, it's rather cozy and a great place to just chill out.

I'm liking the mirror effect up above

Noticed that each clock stops at a different times

Cafe Vienna serves quite a variety of dishes. Most of which are traditionally Austrian, from Schnitzel, Veal Bratwust to Kaiserschmavn and strudel. The cakes are freshly made and are kept no longer than 2 days to ensure freshness.

First stop, cake display. I had already decided that it would be a dessert outing. :P And then it got Wild..

Salzburger Nockerl - RM14

Soufflé that assembles the 3 mountain of Salzburg served with hot cream, apricot jam, raspberry and chocolate sauce.

Lovely!

Notice how high the Soufflé rose

A typical Austrian dessert from the region of Salzburg.

It left a trail of delicious aroma as the waiter placed it on my table which nearly floored me. It looked impressive in the soufflé dish. My first thought when I had the first bite - lovely!  Smooth, light and practically melted in my mouth. It wasn't too sweet, which made it go so well with the hot cream and raspberry sauce.

I  ♥ the Salzburger Nockerl!

Chocolate Caramel Banana - RM12.50

Chocolate dessert for chocolate lovers.

Chocolate sponge topped with mashed banana covered with chocolate caramel mousse  and chocolate icing. Dusted with chocolate bits to finish. (Wow, that's a mouthful of chocolate!)

Flavours that go really well together. The chocolate mousse was smooth and light, not too sweet. The dark chocolate icing, rich. But I found the sponge a tad bit dry. Otherwise I quite liked it. :)

Sacher - RM12.50

(aka Sachertorte aka Chocolate Cake)

Served with whipped cream (traditionally served this way) and best enjoyed with a shot of espresso.

The most classic of Viennese desserts. The last time I had a yummy Sachertorte was on my trip to Vienna.. ;)

More cream please..

The chocolate icing is so camera friendly :P

Look at how the apricot jam spills out by the sides

With a dollop of cream

A dense chocolate sponge with a layer of apricot jam in between, topped with a generous layer of dark chocolate icing. The chocolate was rich but not sweet. This made me enjoy the chocolate experience even more. And to have it served with whipped cream just added to the richness of the Sachertorte. But I found the chocolate sponge to be a tad bit dry. Still, this is a must try for chocolate lovers!

I was told by Florence that some people prefer it to be served without the cream. Seriously.. they don't know what they're missing out on. What is Sachertorte without the cream. ;)

Raspberry Vanilla Cream - RM12.50

A favourite among Viennese women and best enjoyed with Darjeeling Tea.

Enticing thick layer of cream

I just had to.. Lol!

Truthfully it was the red lips sitting pretty on top that attracted me to it. Lol! It is a vanilla sponge with swirls of raspberry coated in a thick layer of smooth rich cream. Raspberry and cream always goes so well together. The sponge cake was also a tad bit dry. Otherwise this is perfect for a light afternoon tea.

Will I go back?

I'll be back for sure! I'd lurv to try out their other desserts and maybe some food too, if I ever make it past the dessert section.
