Tray Cafe @ Sri Hartamas, KL

Sri Hartamas has always been synonymous with devilish delights of the alcoholic drink, the natural and the heavenly delightful fiery Korean and elegant Japanese! With all the natural treats offered from the land of Hartamas, there is a petite eatery that is right for you to curb with the guilt or even the occasional cleanse for the body, mind and soul!

This cafe is primarily their mark with the skills and fairy ability in creating scrumptious and addictive cakes and it's petite yet powerful baked goods! 

Citrus Salad with Smoked Salmon (RM26)

The first savoury dish which we had from their Breakfast section of the menu is the Citrus Salad with Smoked Salmon.. We've chosen to go with the smoked salmon with this citrus filled salad but you can actually choose the protein to be a chicken for your salad.. I think this salad is perfect for a hot day or even after an intense session of the gym..

In terms of presentation, this dish is really filled with vibrant colors and all ingredients that are truly healthy and superfood category.. 

It was truly filled with citrus fruits that reflects the name of the dish..

 In terms of taste, it was really filled with varying textures of crunchy from the greens and sprinkles of passionfruit jewels that contributes to the crunch factor and also alongside the hyrdating cucumber slices and beautiful yet pristine cherry tomatoes! 

Well enough said about the families in this bowl of vibranc, it was to our surprise an amazing yet refreshing bowl of greens as the smoked salmon was an elegant touch to this salad and it was drowned by all that orange segements and the generosity of the greens that usually may overwhelmed the protein but not for the case of Smoked Salmon that lends the dish it's smoky quality with a side of meaty textures.. 

Yogurt Panna Cotta (RM21)

This is actually a dessert that is in the category of Breakfast .. 
Well talk about having a nice breakfast to start the day! For us, we are having this as our afternoon tea time treat or desserts! 
Yes we are a naughty bunch that just craves for sweets in every hour of the day.. 

But fret not as the elf's of Tray cafe truly understand our guilty pleasure but they made the desserts with a special and rather healthy twist that would make it a guilt free treat.. For dessert, we had was the Yogurt Panna Cotta which is a pleasant surprise! You would rarely find a panna cotta which is made entirely with yogurt.. 

The panna cotta is also being accompanied by freshly cut fruits that is mainly anti-oxidant fruits and also some of their home made granola.. In terms of presentation, the panna cotta is very colorful and attractive! It's like coming out from the cook book or food magazine! Tastewise, this panna cotta is light with a refreshing acidity that makes it very enjoyable on a hot summers day accompanied by the sweet berries and the crunchy granola.. 

Burnt Butter & Thyme (RM8)

The 2nd dessert that caught our eyes is this petite Burnt Butter & Thyme cake that has a shape like the financier..

This little dessert here is an extraordinary find in this quaint cafe as we haven't come across before in any other cafes or dessert cafe before.. 

So in terms of appearance, it may seem very plain and dark but I can promise you that every amazing and buttery bite of it would make up their plain and simple yet dark appearance! When you had the first bite of this block of aromatic yet tentalizing burnt butter, you are being transported to a waft of flavours and texture that would make you question their co-existence in a single bite.. 

Well that was how we felt when we had that first bite of this butter & thyme as the burnt butter gave the loaf a very nutty and creamy quality that is hard to described and the thyme was being a secondary player in this dessert flavour element was a pleasant and complementary couple.. 

The thyme wasn't over powering with it's perfume but it gave a warm sense of home in every bite!

Belgian Chocolate Truffle Torte (RM15)

The 3rd baked goods that we tried is the Belgian Chocolate Truffle Torte ! 
This is actually a perfect little treat for every chocoholic like yours truly! 
The entire ensemble of the dessert is really simple yet it was an amazing sight to behold as the truffle torte looks silky smooth and mouthwatering to not devour them instantly.. 

After much documentation of this amazing dessert, we then dive in with our forks.. And the verdict is that it is a must have and try dessert in our books! As the chocolate truffle torte was an elegant torte without being overly rich on the palate and it has a creamy and velvety texture! 

 It somehow managed to create the fine balance between sweet and bitter alongside the slight salt you can get from it.. It was truly a delight to be enjoy with a cup of warm tea!

Verdict:
Calm petite cafe with healthy dishes!
