It was our first visit to 163 Retail Park, but not the hubs. He's been there a couple of times. The hubs traverses everywhere in the course of his work and stops at every nook and corner to try out new eateries. His job and his life revolve around food and good food is what makes him truly happy 😁 When a particular establishment is worth visiting a second time, he'll bring us there whenever he has the time. So that's how we are brought to try new eateries almost every week. Blessings 🙏💓
163 Retail Park is a refreshing premier F&B and retail mall in Mont Kiara. Within the mall, there are beautiful nature elements of the great outdoors, to enhance patrons' indoor dining and shopping experience.
Waterways that flow through the mall. Soothing lush greenery. There's also a cascading waterfall from a wall inside the mall.
Our sumptuous lunch was at Rakuzen, without Alycia as she had her own outing with her friends at Sunway Pyramid to shop for a dress for their school concert. Years ago, our Sunday lunches were always the whole family together. Now that the girls are teenagers, they have their own outings and activities but the hubs' house rule to the girls is to not arrange any lunch appointment with friends on Sundays. Sunday lunches are to be spent with him, unless the girls have something important to do.
Sea urchin (uni) sushi anyone? (bottom left). Hubs loves it but not me. In fact, I've stopped eating raw fish and have gotten over my obsession with raw salmon and butterfish/white tuna as I have some health concerns over raw fish after reading articles on them. Read here.
The food at Rakuzen never disappoints us. Only the price does but the foodie hubs is always willing to dig a little deeper into his pocket to experience a satisfying meal experience.
After lunch was dessert time, a sine qua non for the hubs after lunch on Sundays. He works extremely hard for the dough 6 days a week and eats like a king on Sundays😬 On some days when he doesn't even have the time to drive out to eat, his lunches will only be cheap food at the roadside mamak stall opposite his shop.
The hubs chose Belgische Chocolatier, a chocolate dessert cafe that he's been eyeing on for quite some time. KL's first Belgische Chocolatier opened its door early this year and relies on Belgian chocolates to thrill cacao lovers. At Belgische, chocolate lovers are certain to enjoy the best of unadulterated Belgian dark, milk and white chocolate. This café serves chocolate shots, guaranteed to satisfy the taste of the most demanding chocoholic. The shots are served neat and ready to be downed at one go. The café serves an array of offerings. The chef prepares a base comprising pancakes, crepes or crisp waffles to be dipped or drowned in chocolate, in accordance with customers' taste.
Street waffle coated in luscious thick dark milk chocolate.
Lazy Biscuit with roasted walnuts.
Designer chocolate crepe ~ the design and shape of this piece remind me of the creepy looking gigantic moth that Cass and I are terrified of 😱 Just a few days earlier, Cass was 'chased' by a gigantic moth with flappy wings when we were walking at the lobby of our condo, which sent her screaming and running like a headless chicken 😆
Prices are pretty reasonable and for chocolate lovers like our family, we will return to this chocolate cafe the next time we are at this mall.
