3B Drip & Dutch Coffee @ Sungai Buloh: Not-to-be-missed New Dishes!


A few months ago, I asked "How far would you go for a cup of coffee?", and my friends and I found ourselves at Sungai Buloh sipping on hand-drip coffee at 3B Drip & Dutch Coffee.

3B Drip & Dutch Coffee serves both hand-drip and dutch coffee along with a varieties of Korean delicacies.

During our first visit, they were still fine tuning a few things in their cafe, including their menu. Nevertheless, we enjoyed their food and had a great time at the cafe. 3B Drip & Dutch has recently launched a few new dishes, and we were honored to be invited to try them out at the cafe!

The Combination (RM 128). A platter of kimchi, smoked duck, mushrooms, pork belly rolls served alongside with onions, egg rolls and vegetables.

If you are going in a group, this platter would be perfect! After all, food always tastes nicer when shared with loved ones. Don't you think so?

Kimbap (RM 18.90). Colourful seaweed rice roll made with varieties of ingredients.

Jumeokbap (RM 17.90). Aren't these rice balls just too cute?!

Cube Steak (RM 33.90). Cheese lovers, don't forget to try the cube steak with Mozzarella cheese. The flavours of the steak weren't too bad but the texture was a tad tough. I supposed we took a bit too long in taking the photos.

It's so cheesy, I can't!!!!

Kare (RM 23.90). Tried Japanese curry countless times, but it was my first time had Korean curry. Not a fan of this dish as I still prefer Indian-style curry. Need those spices!!

Zhe Ge (RM 18.90). Think of it as 3B's bibimbap.

The Flower Pork (RM 148) was one of the highlight for me. Beautifully plated pork belly that were so well-marinated and tender. Due to it is made to order, the kitchen needs about 20 minutes to prepare the dish.

Korean traditional salad was served at the side to balance out the richness of the pork belly. A very refreshing touch to the dish.

Ham-Bak (RM 28). Juicy patty topped with smooth mashed tomatoes, generously drizzled with gravy. The 3B Korean hamburger is another must try at the cafe.

Just when we thought that's all at 3B, we were wowed by the desserts. Apart from decadent French pastries by Xiao by Crustz, 3B offers traditional Korean mochi too.

Mochi Platter (RM 28). I love the soft, chewy skin but not a fan of the sweetness. But then, I've never been a fan of desserts or anything that are too sweet.

Compared to the mochi platter, this Mochi Waffle (RM 18) is definitely my kind of desserts. Chewy waffles with matcha soft serve paired perfectly together!

Cappucino Dry.

Flat White.

No doubt that the coffee here are really good.

Ice Cute Latte 2.0 - Dutch Coffee (RM 15.50). The famous "Teddy Bear" coffee at 3B. All the elements were served separately and you are free to mix them together according to your liking.

Remember to work fast on that camera of yours before the bear melts away.

3B Citroen Pop Soda (RM 13.90). Cold and fizzy, an ideal refreshing drink to have.

Located at Pusat Komercial LGSB, 3B Drip & Dutch Coffee is a gem at Sungai Buloh serving not only good coffee but also delicious Korean food too. Better still, getting a parking at the area will definitely not be a problem.

3B Drip & Dutch Coffee @ Sungai Buloh


How far would you travel for a good cup of coffee?

We have recently visited a secluded coffee bar at Sungai Buloh to try out their hand drip and dutch coffee - 3B Drip & Dutch Coffee.

Own by Will Jung, the coffee bar serves both hand drip and dutch coffee along with a selection of Korean delicacies.

First thing first, let's warm ourselves up with a bowl of piping hot Samyetang (RM 45). The aroma of ginseng wafted towards us when the dish was served, and we can't wait to take a sip of the soup. In comparison to many Korean ginseng chicken soups, 3B's version is more subtle but the flavours build up nicely with every spoonful.

Ramen in Golden Pot (RM 14.90). Comfort food can be as simple as this pot of Shin Ramyun with egg.

If you are a fan of Korean drama, you'd notice the "constant appearance" of lunch boxes. So, we can't help but to order the Dosirak (RM 16.90) when we spotted it on the menu. The proper way to enjoy the dish is to give the box a nice shake, so that all the elements in the box would be well-mixed. Personally, I find it too messy, and prefer to have it as it is.

It's generally a pretty decent dish, but the meat was a tad lack of flavours.

Everything (RM 88). As the name suggested, they have EVERYTHING on the platter! From smoked duck, onions, egg roll, kimchi and salad... you can eat till you drop!

This is one dish that is PERFECT to be shared. The smoked duck was flavourful but I would prefer it to be less tough.

Gimbap (RM 15.90). Gimbap is supposedly looking like sushi maki, but due to the shortage at their kitchen, they had no choice but to serve it in the form of rice balls. I was quite skeptic over the rice balls as they look very..... simple, but I was surprised by the flavours in it. My personal favourite would be the ones coated with seaweed - just can't get enough of the umami flavours!

Our Ice Cube Latte (RM 15.50) comes with a very cute teddy bear ice cube made from coffee! You can "customize" your glass of ice latte by deciding the ratio of milk, espresso and sugar syrup.

Dutch Americano/Dutch Latte (RM 11.90). The americano has full-bodied while wasn't too acidit, and the latte has a nice ratio of espresso and milk. Perfecto! The best of all, the bottles are so convenient and you can even have your coffee on the go. Now, who says you have to sacrifice good coffee if you are in a rush or on the road?

Last but not least, some desserts to complete our meal! All the desserts at 3B are specially made by Xiao by Crustz for the coffee bar. If you are familiar with the work of Xiao by Crustz, you'd know they have always produce quality desserts that are full of surprises. The same goes to the desserts at 3B.

From left to right:

3B Premium Dark Tart. Coffee and chocolate lovers, this tart is definitely for you. The sweet chocolate tart goes perfectly well with their premium black coffee, which served in a small spray bottle for you to spray it all over the tart. The bitterness of the coffee nicely cut through the sweetness as well as richness of the chocolate tart. I'm a fan of this as well, despite me being a non-chocolate lover. A definitely must try at 3B!

Ttalgi Berry (RM 12). I was super-duper sorry that it would be very sweet, due to generous amount of whipped cream sitting on top. At first bite, it indeed tasted very sweet. However, the sweetness was soon balanced out by the tangy berry sauce/jam in it. Another satisfying dessert!

Basted Cheese (RM 15). I LOVE cheese and this dessert was the one that I look forward the most. Turn out, it was absolutely lovely. A layer of rich cheese sitting on top of crumbly crust balanced out by the acidic apricot jam. This is one dessert that has both texture and flavours!

If you are looking for unique coffee bar that serves good coffee and mouth-watering food, 3B Drip & Dutch would be an excellent choice. Though I've only been there once, I'm already a fan of the cosy environment of the coffee bar. The quiet coffee bar is a nice place for both hang out and catch up with friends as well as spending quality "me time".

On the other hand, the coffee bar didn't have any Wifi during my last visit. So, it might not be an ideal place to work (if you required internet connection). I hope they would soon have Wifi connection at the coffee bar.

Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot 小捞王

After the 1st Tasebuddies gathering organized by +Nuffnang Stickman having Kelatanese cuisine, we had our 2nd outing at a newly open restaurant in Sungai Buloh - Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot 小捞王. The restaurant was opened just a few months ago, and is own by the same group who owns Kissaten and Lammeeya. It was a challenge to find the place, but eventually we managed to get there.



Normally you would not associate steamboat with lunch, as it really takes a little bit extra time to consume the food. However, in Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot 小捞王, you could enjoy a delicious steamboat for lunch. They have a lunch menu whereby the hotpot is served with all the ingredients inside. All you need to do is to turn on the fire and wait for 10 minutes for the food to cook, and you are good to dig in after that. Talk about hassle free lunch!

Lunch hotpot
 
The pricing of the lunch hotpot range from RM20.80 (1-2 pax) to RM62.80 (6-8 pax). They really have lots of varieties - greens, toufu, mushrooms, pork and prawns. They used tripe as the base of their soup, and they have 2 varieties - original and the other added with salmon head. Our first hotpot was the original soup and it was super flavorful! Usually the soup tend to be very peppery, and you won't be able to taste anything after that. On the other hand, in Xiao Lao Wang it's the other way round.

Before we started to sink our teeth into the food, we had a demo from one of the partner - mix and match all the sauces and condiments! Did I mention that they have varieties these? You just need to pay an extra of RM0.50, and you'll be able to customise your own sauces.
 
 
 
We had 4 different type of sauces to pair with our food:
 

Version 1
 
Version 2 - added in sesame!
 
Version 3
 
Version 4
 



 
 
Finally the food are ready to eat! It cooked really fast and the soup was really flavorful.
 
 
The sotong ball was springy
 

Have you ever tried putting in lunheon meat a.k.a cold cut into a hotpot? If you've never tried that, maybe you should - it was delicious as the meat will absorb the soup, and you'll that the fragrance of fried meat and the essense of the soup in the meat.


We had a 2nd hotpot - which was boiled with deep fried salmon head. The fish head added extra flavor into the soup, and the tomatoes in it added a hint of acidity which bring the flavor to another level.



 
I got the eye!! YAY!! Looks scary huh?? LOL! They owner has also generously ordered us a lot more of food to go with the hotpot:
 
 
The one on the left is made of tendon and the one of the right is made of mushroom. They hand-made all of these ingredients back in their kitchen, and my favourite is the Mushroom Ball.
 

 Fried beancurd a.k.a "Fu Chok"
 
Scallops, Frozen Tofu, Pork and Oysters
Fried Rice Cakes
 
Apart from the hotpot, we tried their mouth-watering claypot rice with blood sausage and pork. Visually it was beautiful - green from the spring onions, yellow from the ginger, red from the pork and black from the blood sausages. Flavor wise, it was excellent too! I especially like the side where the rice was a bit burnt, but you get the texture from the crispy rice.

 
 
At the end of the meal, we added in a bowl of white rice. Why? To make porridge! Thou shall not waste, isn't it? So, instead of letting the soup go to waste, we made a bowl of aromatic porridge out of it!
 
Before we called it a day (for lunch), we had some chilled snow beer to cool ourself down.
The waiter pouring chilled Guinness (my fav!)
 
Look at that thin layer of ice!!!
 
 
Overall, it was a delicious and satisfying lunch. They are open from Monday to Sunday from 12pm-3pm and 6pm -11pm.
