[Food Review] Thirty Seconds @ Bandar Sri Damansara
Kuala
Lumpur, July 2015 - Last month,
I was given a golden opportunity to discover a gem in food & beverage as
invited by Food Ink. The place is
named as Thirty Seconds.
Food Review
session:
Date: 20th June 2015
(Saturday)
Time: 3.30pm to 6.00pm
Venue: Thirty Seconds
About
Thirty Seconds:
The Phua couple once has a dream of running
their own café around 15 years ago. During that time, their children were too
young and they have other business on hand. The time was just not right.
However, they have never given up their dreams
before. Finally, at the end of the year 2014, their dream has become a reality.
That is why you have Thirty Seconds
in Bandar Sri Damansara now.
Mr Phua has intended to make this a family
business. By involving the wife and the sons, from the kitchen to the bar, from
the concept to the menu, everything is done by the Phua family themselves.
It is also thanks to Mrs Phua, you can get to
enjoy a cup of coffee and some hearty breakfast as early as 8 in the morning.
She is one of the most hardworking persons that decided to open early in order
to accommodate the early crowd.
Why was the café named as Thirty Seconds? Well, it is the perfect
duration of time to brew a cup of wonderful and fragrant espresso. That’s how
they came out with the name, to serve only the best espresso for their
customers.
As for the bar, the sons are the ones in
charge. To show you how serious they are in this business, we have to let you know
that one of the sons was in a worldwide latte art competition this year. It’s
definitely not an easy task for him to compete against other 64 international contestants
in that latte art competition.
Food
Review Session:
It was a fun session to take part in the food
review session under FoodInk. I have
met many new friends who shared the same interest in food. (Well, who doesn’t
love food anyway?)
And it’s great to meet back some of my old
friends such as Bowie, Vania as well
as the famous youtuber Dankhoo
there. I seldom join blogging events past two months due to my superbly hectic
posting in Medical department. Hopefully, I can take part in more blogging
events again in the upcoming months since I have already passed that posting.
Either way, let’s jump into our main topic
today, the FOOD!
Porridge?
Nope. It’s the Sodium Oatmeal!
First off, we were served with porridge…I
mean oatmeal! Well, don’t get me wrong, the Sodium Oatmeal is really an oatmeal which tastes and looks exactly
like porridge. Oatmeal has been well-known to be a type of healthy food but it
is not always loved by many.
Mrs Phua has creatively made the oatmeal
looks like and feels like porridge in order to cater more people, the great
piping hot oatmeal which was served with savory chicken and mushrooms.
Baked
Eggs!
Next, we were served with Baked Eggs. The baked eggs in Thirty Seconds contains not just egg
but also sausage, bell pepper, mushroom & chili flakes in delicious curve
baked with mozzarella cheese. It was simply delicious!
Pasta
Time!
After the oatmeal and baked eggs, we were
given the opportunity to taste many different kind of pastas in this restaurant.
i)
Chicken Pesto Pasta
A type of spaghetti with chicken, tomatoes,
onions and savory pesto sauce.
ii)
Aroi Seafood Pasta
Squid Ink Spagetti
iii)
Creamy Curry Pasta
Linguine with chicken chunks, chilli and onions ; topped with an exotic
creamy curry finish.
My favourite among these three pastas was the
creamy curry pasta. I really loved the creamy curry taste. It was a great
delight to my taste buds!
Fatty
Rice A.K.A Nasi Lemak!
The next meal on our menu was Fatty Rice. We were wondering why it
was called the Fatty Rice at first
till we figured out it might be the direct translation from Malay words Nasi Lemak. (Mr and Mrs Phua didn’t
explain to us though but I think there wouldn’t be any Malaysians who would not
be able to recognize our favourite Malaysian food of all time, Nasi Lemak!)
The Fatty Rice in Thirty Seconds consists of a flavorful sambal and a piece of tasty
fried chicken. It was a delicious meal!
Homemade
Mushroom Soup & Garlic Bread!
Last but not least, we also tasted the
homemade mushroom soup and garlic bread!
Demo on
Latte Art! A Taste of the Signature C.O.2!
Remember that I mentioned that Mr Phua’s son
was actually one of the contestant in the international Latte Art competition?
Well, we were fortunate enough to witness his LIVE Demo on how he makes his espresso
at the bar!
And wow, I also get the chance to taste the
signature coffee C.O.2! The taste
was really unique, it was bittersweet but soothing at the same time! Something
really different from other coffee I have tasted before! You all should try it
out!
Oh yeah, by the way, Mr Phua’s son also
taught us the right way to sip the coffee! Maybe you should learn it from him
too if he’s free to teach you next time!

2. Baked Eggs – RM16
3. Chicken Pesto Pasta – RM15
4. Aroi Seafood Pasta – RM18
