DARK & TWISTED CAFE @ EVOLVE CONCEPT MALL PJ

Happy Boxing Day, everyone!! Now that Christmas is over, everyone seems to be busy preparing and getting ready for Chinese New Year; buying gifts/decos, changing new hair styles etc etc. Chinese New Year is in a months' time and I still haven't got any suitable new clothes yet!! Heard that the H&M store in Evolve Concept Mall is fairly large and since we haven't been there before, we decided to pay a visit yesterday. Evolve Concept Mall is one of the newer malls located in the Ara Damansara area - had its soft launch last year. The four-storey shopping mall is still pretty much empty and quiet, especially on the top floors, but my main purpose was to visit the H&M (one of the mall's main tenant) store, so it didn't matter.

After spending some time in the H&M (finally managed to get a top, a pair of shorts and a short dress... Phew...), we thought of having a cup of coffee and put our feet up. With no mall directory in sight, we just walked towards the center of the mall to see if there's anything suitable. As it was Christmas yesterday, there was a live performance by a quartet of performers; 3 saxophonists and a trumpeter on stage at the center of the mall. The first song they played was Jingle Bells and my LO loved it! She sang along and kept telling us, "Watch? Listen to music?" So I looked around to see if there's any cafe nearby that we could sit down and watch the performance at the same time, and this Dark & Twisted cafe caught my eye. It's located on a corner lot, right next to the main entrance. The cafe has a modern yet casual feel about it.

And yes, I thought the name was cool! Hehe...

The performers performing some Christmas songs.

The waiter handed us the menu the moment we sat down. Besides the usual breakfast menu, they serve tapas too. But it was teatime, so I ordered a cup of Flat White, a slice of chocolate cake and tea for hubby.
The chocolate cake and tea arrived first.

Dark chocolate ganache cake topped with walnut and almond flakes (RM12.90).

Hubby's Japanese Sencha (RM6).

The cake was rich, moist and not too sweet - Absolutely loved it! And fine tea from Harney & Sons. Enough said. :D Oh, I loved that cute little tea bag holder/saucer too!!

Then cautiously, the waiter walked towards our table while holding my coffee in his two hands.

Flat White (RM8.50).

My first impression was, 'Hmm? Is this some failed coffee art?' He was already walking so slowly, as if to avoid any spilling... Oh well. Took a sip and it was some pretty good coffee! It had a nice aroma, a pinch of bitterness and a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.

All in all, Dark & Twisted cafe way exceeded my expectation. The cake was amazing and my coffee was great. There is definitely more to it than meets the eye. I would highly recommend to try this place out when you are shopping at the Evolve Concept Mall.
