Love a Loaf Bakery

This is a bakery cum cafe which is always packed. They have very good breads and pastries. If you like buying the healthy series kind of bread *with lots of nuts* *with wheat germ* *grains* etc etc, this could possibly be your choice. Pretty good buns as well. The taste and choices of the breads and buns seem more 'homemade'. 

However, if you're more to the pastry/ cake kinda person instead of bread, do try as well. I'd always pop in after lunch whenever I have the chance so I can have a bite of something sweet OR maybe after dinner for a slice of cake and a pot of tea. 

The cakes are not too sweet. If you flavour more on thick cheese, buttery or really thick cream, then you might disagree with me that this is a good place for cakes. 

They have rather limited tables but doesn't seem to be an issue for the day as most people just do the take out. Some of the nights, having a table can be competitive ;) 

p/s: Operating hours 10am-10pm




Suffolk House Restaurant

This place not only provides you fine dining but it also gives you a posh feel. The restaurant in located in a heritage mansion which is believed to be owned previously by Sir Francis Light. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor view was great as it overlooked the big piece of garden. You definitely wont feel that this place is located alongside the main road of Ayer Itam. Worth to note that this is an award-wining restaurant ;)

We ordered the Aussie beef and salmon *sorry for not noting the names down*

The beef looks a tad dry in this picture but if you choose to believe me, it's not as dry as it looks like. It is tender and juicy. Even so, I prefer the salmon. I've tasted different types of fish at different places. This IS DEFINITELY one of the top! Most places overcooked the salmon which cause a very strong salmon-characteristic flavour and smell. Some may love it but I prefer the smell and taste to be lighter. This piece of salmon *as picture below* was cooked to perfect moisture and taste!

I am a fish lover- Once, when I was travelling with my friends. She asked me, "why do you always order fish whenever we have dinner? and even when we're here in the UK, you're ordering fish again.". So, I guess my comments on the salmon is valid. 

We wanted to order desserts but the two choices we made were unavailable. It's okay, I will be back.
