In a previous post, we delved into some matcha in Lot 10: Matcha Hero.
Today, we’re going to jump not from hero to zero but from hero to eight.
Matcha Eight in Lalaport Bukit Bintang City Centre.
It is very convenient to get to Lalaport. Firstly, via public transport. Take the monorail, stop at the Hang Tuah station, and then walk down to the ground floor. Alternatively, ride the LRT on the Ampang or Sri Petaling lines and then get off at the Hang Tuah station. Then walk towards BBCC.
If you’re driving, there are multiple entrances to Lalaport’s basement parking. There’s one car park entrance along Jalan Huang Tuah and another along Jalan Pudu.
Matcha Eight is located on the ground floor of Lalaport. There is the air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned section of Lalaport. Where Matcha Eight is, is at the non-air-conditioned section: Gourmet Street.
Matcha Eight is a small outlet. Seating for dine-in is available just outside but it’s umbrella sheltered. Since it’s open air, if it rains then it can get uncomfortable and inconvenient.
It’s all things matcha.
You can choose your matcha to be in the form of beverage or dessert. Ice cream or cold brewed tea.
I was craving for some ice cream.
As of this post, there were only eight ice cream flavours to select from. Flavours are coolly called Lovesick Girl, Soul Mate, Maybe it’s Love, Matcha Me Tonight, Hocus Matcha-cus, Melodrama Queen, Hojilicious, and Ho Ho Hoji. Each flavour has different ranges of sencha, matcha, sweetness, and bitterness.
Different flavours have different prices. Prices ranged from the lowest at RM13.00 for like the Lovesick Girl, Soul Mate, and Maybe It’s Love to the highest at RM16.00 for the Hojilicious and Ho Ho Hoji.
It’s quite a complex mix of flavours but you do get to taste them, but up to 4 spoons! That says alot about the demand and curiosity for the ice creams.
Then once you’re done tasting, next is to select the base and the size. For the base, of course, the ice cream can be in a cup or cone. If you want your ice cream to be in a cone, then it’s an additional charge.
Then on to the size. If you want to eat your ice cream in a cone, then it’s a single-scoop ice cream only and no additional charges. However, if you want to eat your ice cream from a cup, then based on how many additional scoops, there’ll be additional charges on top. You can do a single, double, or triple scoop in a cup.
Finally, the last step. You can add toppings to give more texture and taste to your ice cream. For certain toppings in a cup, there’ll be additional charges.
So you’d like to bear in mind the additional charges when choosing your flavour, base, cup, and topping; as they can add on.
For me, it was so delicious, it was Hojilicious. I had a single scoop of hojilicious in a cup.

Continuing our journey for the day, our van driver chauffeured us from Restaurant Kam Wan Aneka Selera to Tong Sui Kai.
It is literally a stretch of roadside stalls under a long shack along Jalan Carrey. Eat by the road with cars driving by and looking for parking.
In a sense, it’s like a hawker centre, but it’s not like your typical hawker centre. You can only sit at the stall area where you ordered. No cross sitting allowed.
The tables are number coded to the corresponding stalls. The table that we sat at, focused on desserts and snacks.
We had ice kacang, ching poh leong, and other snacks for supper.
During our 3D2N trip in Ipoh, Tong Sui Kai was one of the 10 places we visited in 1 day. Watch YouTube below.

After dinner in Kota Damansara, why not some Kakigori and waffle for dessert? For us, after dinner at Soru Station, we headed over to MyKori Dessert Cafe Kota Damansara (Dataran Sunway).
According to their website and as of today’s post, there are 88 MyKori Dessert Cafes in Malaysia.
Anyway, back to MyKori Dessert Cafe Kota Damansara, if you’re driving and looking for parking, be prepared to go round looking for it. Like any other commercial district like SS2, Damansara Uptown – Kota Damansara is also notoriously known for lack of parking space.
Alternatively, if you’re taking the MRT, stop at the Surian MRT and walk 900 meters North from the station. It is about a 12 minutes walk from the MRT station.
The Kota Damansara branch of MyKori Dessert Cafe is on the first floor of a shop lot. As it’s not on the ground floor, you might miss it if you walk or drive by. The cafe is long, spacious, and brightly lit. So, even if you’re in a group of 8 or more people, there is enough space, comfortably for everybody.
From their Signature Kakigori selection, we had the Mango Cheesecake Kakigori, Chocolate Tiramisu Kakigori, and Cookies & Cream with OREA Kakigori. In addition to the kakigories, we also had a 3 Scoops Ice Cream Buttermilk Waffle.
MyKori’s Signature Kakigori are shaved ice desserts incorporating fresh fruits, ice cream as well as layers of flavour.
The Mango Cheesecake Kakigori (above) was made up of milk ice, cheesecake, buttercrumbs mango puree, and creme chantilly. Large was RM23, while mini was RM15.
The Chocolate Tiramisu Kakigori (above) was made up of milk ice, tiramisu cake, chocolate crispy balls cocoa powder, shredded chocolate creme chantilly, and coffee syrup. Large was RM25, while mini was RM16.
The Cookies & Cream with OREA Kakigori (above) was made up of milk ice, oreo biscuits oreo crumbs, and chocolate sauce. Large was RM21, while mini was RM13.
The 3 Scoops Ice Cream Buttermilk Waffle (above) had a base price of RM20. You can add on syrup with an additional RM2 and upgrade your gelato from RM1 to RM3 for different gelato flavours.
For the choice of syrup, there were the Honey Maple Syrup, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Sauce, and Mango Puree. We went with the Chocolate Sauce.
Then for the gelato, with RM:
We had the vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio gelato.
You can browse their online menu below.
I thought MyKori meant Malaysian-Korean dessert of some sort. However, MyKori’s history tells a different story.
During his travels overseas, MyKori’s founder discovered a unique Japanese pastry, a fish shaped snack, made of croissant with varied sweet and savoury fillings such as red bean, chocolate banana and cheese. He then made the necessary arrangements, including learning hands on how it’s made, securing the signature molds and ingredients that give the Taiyaki its unique shape and flavour and launching with authentic Japanese ranges and then further expanding them to suit local tastes.
Not content with just pastries, he then sought to make MyKori the epitome of the 21st century Japanese dessert house, expanding to include the signature toasts and shaved ice desserts (Kakigori) that incorporate fresh fruits, ice cream as well as layers of flavour. And to not leave out those that seek healthier options, there’s also the Kenko Kakigori, a guiltless option that incorporates shaved ice, yoghurt / milk, fresh fruits as well as a variety of grains.

McDonalds have their drive thrus. Touch N Go is literally touch and go at tolls. In Penang, we’ve a eat and go cendol – Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul.
The famous Teochew chendul is easily recognisable by it’s pushcart and incredibly long queue. Being located along Lebuh Keng Kwee, a small road just off Jalan Penang, there are no tables and chairs to sit and eat. You’ve to stand by the roadside and eat, or tapau (take-away).
Queues are super long, but because it is fast moving, it won’t take long to be your turn.
A timeless Malaysian dessert of shaved ice dessert with soft fresh pandan-flavoured palm flour noodles immersed in light coconut milk, sweetened by gula melaka and kidney beans thoroughly boiled in 4 hours.
A must try specialty for you to know why it’s become famous.
Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul
Especially during a hot day, it’s something to quench your thirst! Definitely will also cool you down in this hot, humid Malaysian weather.
Founded in 1936 and with more than 80 years of history, Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul has come a long way. Undeniably, it is one of the popular cendol places even with franchises throughout Klang Valley.
For the non-Penangites, you can still indulge in the famous cendol in the franchises in the Klang Valley in Selangor, Malaysia. Of course, nothing beats the original. When in Penang, why not head directly to THE Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul itself in Lebuh Keng Kwee.

Damansara Uptown is no stranger as the place to hang out, eat, and have desserts. If after a plate of Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee or a meal, and some jalan-jalan in Starling Mall; why not have dessert at Shugatori. Aptly named as SHUGATORI: THE DESSERT CAFE.
Shugatori is located along Jalan SS 21/1a in Damansara Utama. It is not hard to miss as it is facing the main road – Jalan SS21/1. If you’re turning in from the SPRINT highway, it is on your right.
Parking may be a challenge during the day and night, as the parking spots tend to be filled with cars by office workers and people who frequent there.
Due to the limited street parking, you can park at Starling Mall or at Uptown 7 (elevated parking). Then walk across to Shugatori.
Waffles, croffles, desserts, coffee, macarons, or all? Browse their menu below.
We ate their Biscoff Waffle, Peanut Butter & Jelly, and Razuberi Yoguruto. It was an experience indulging in 3 different types of pastries and desserts together: waffle, croissant, and cake.
Classic waffle with biscoff crumbs, white chocolate, topped with vanilla ice cream dizzled in biscoff sauce.
Buttery croissant served with mascarpone whipped cream, raspberry compote, chocolate chips and two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Charcoal honey castella plated with mascarpone whipped cream, mixed berries compote and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If you’re a Maxis user, there is a “RM10 OFF total bill with minimum spend of RM38 & above.”
Open the Maxis app on your smartphone and click Deals at the bottom tab (if you’re iphone user). Type Shugatori or search under Food & Beverage for “Shugatori”. Then “Download Deal” and show it to cashier upon payment.
