Drinks @ RATA, SS15 Subang Jaya

RATA has been making its round around social media - or at least among my circle. I've been seeing countless posts of its cocktails and pizza around social media and have always been curious to try this place out. 

And I've finally had the chance to do so on an uneventful Saturday night. A night where my body just screams "I need a drink!".

Rata is located at SS15 Suabng Jaya - at the row of shops with many Japanese restaurants (if you're a Subang-ite you will get this :p), along the road facing Subang Darby Medical Center. Parking there can be quite an issue, even during CMCO. There were many parking jockeys it seems, not sure if they are hired by specific restaurants, or they are illegal parking touts, or it is a combination of both. 

Menu

I'll only be showing the drinks (ie: Cocktails) menu here since that was what I was there for. RATA has a selection of classic cocktails and the not-so-classic cocktails.

Prices were pretty decent, I thought. 

The Drinks

Round 1: (From front) Pineapple Prada (RM26) and Green Gravati (RM28)

Pineapple Prada RM26

Sarawak pineapple, coconut sugar, pineapple dark rum, pineapple liqueur

I might be a little bias since Sarawak pineapple is used in this drink (Sarawak honestly have the best pineapple!) But this was my favourite drink for the night! Always love a tropical twist in my drinks! Love that it has a strong enough kick too! 

The Green Gravati (Kiwi, Tarragon, Coconut Rum & Vodka) is their monthly special - my friend claimed that it tasted a little diluted. I stole a few sips but because the Pineapple Prada was stronger in taste, I couldn't really taste much of anything ;P

Round 2 (From front) - Guava Goyard (RM26) & Bailey's Balenciaga (RM28)

Guava Goyard RM25

Freshly pressed guava, oak whiskey, egg white, Limoncello

This drink was recommended by the waiter and also is their signature drink. However, this drink didn't quite hit the spot for me - personal preferences I guess. The whiskey taste was evident, and I think I honestly prefer whiskey on its own rather than having it mixed. This made me reflect on my past experiences having whiskey-based cocktails - they usually don't hit the spot for me. Again, personal preferences! 

The Bailey's Balenciaga features Irish cream, orange liqueur, hazelnut liqueur, and chocolate. If you love Irish coffee, you'd definitely like this! 

Verdict: Great drinks, prices were decent too. Would like to try out their dessert and mains one day! Their pizza looks absolutely amazing (and I was told by friends that the portion is huge too!)

Reservation is recommended during CMCO, as dining spaces are extremely limited! 

P.S. delivery is available! Drinks are available for takeaway too.

Cafe 5.1, Sri Petaling

How do you relate 5.1 and a cafe? Well, 5.1 is the optimum acidity of a coffee served in a cafe, according to Mr Koh, the owner of 5.1 Cafe Gallery at Sri Petaling

Cafe 5.1 is located just right next to the private car park building at Sri Petaling , on the 1st floor above Restaurant Tanjong Sepat of Jalan Radin Bagus 5.

I love how the cafe's interior was creatively designed, with a touch of wooden finish & vintage props decorating the cafe. Vintage fans, do take some time to appreciate the vintage photos & decorations around this cafe.

 Cappuccino RM9.90

 Mocha RM10.90

Rose Latte
Like any other cafe, Cafe 5.1 offers a wide variety of flavoured coffee other than your regular white & black coffee.

5.1 Tortilla Pizza RM15.90
Tortilla base, Bacon, Mushroom, Cherry Tomato, Cheese & Tomato Sauce
An addictive crunchy & thin crust pizza, loaded with generous amount of cheese. A must-try for thin crust pizza fans.Portion might be a little too small for those with ravenous appetite though.

Sausage Tortilla Pizza RM12.90
Tortilla Base, Chicken Ham, Mushroom, Cheese, Tomato Sauce, BBQ Sauce & Sesame Sauce.

Sensational Bite RM12.90
Toasted bread, topped with premium Sausage, Chicken Ham, Crab Roll, Cheese and drizzled with generous amount of BBQ Sauce & Tomato.

A childhood comfort food. Digging into this dish gives me a sense of nostalgia as it features all my childhood favourite on a dish! 

Tortilla Chicken RM15.90
Deep Fried Chicken wrapped served with fresh greens, tortilla and homemade black pepper sauce.
You'll be surprised at the size of the juicy fried chicken! A satisfying and filling dish that will definitely satisfy your taste buds.

Our Cereal RM12,90
Tortilla Base spread with Raspberry Jam, topped with Cornflake, Ice-Cream, Strawberry and Chocolate Chips.

A crunchy & sweet dessert bite. Personally felt that it was tad dry to my liking though.

Tweety Bird RM13.90
Crispy crepe filled with cream, mango cube and drizzled with chocolate sauce.

A new addition to Cafe 5.1. If you crave for something crispy and creamy, this is for you! I personally find this a little too creamy to my liking, but it is really all up to preference.

Crispy Crunch Banana RM12.90
Thin & crunchy Tortilla Base topped with Banana, Peanut, Almond, Chocolate Syrup, Strawberry & Ice-Cream

A crunchy sweet delight! Any fans of chocolate & banana should do themselves a favor and try this out! The thin & crunchy tortilla base goes so well with the chocolate banana combo with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, creating a perfect medley of flavours& texture.

Verdict: A cosy & humble place for coffee or a quick bite. Personal recommendation would be the Chicken Tortilla and Crispy Crunch Banana.
