Good gourmet foods are hard to find in KL. If you can find them, it will be expensive and hard to get a table. With the collaboration by Asian Age Holdings Sdn Bhd (The company that owns Food Foundry), Bangsarbabe and JayaOne they reveal to us some greatenthusiastic foodies to established kitchens to celebrate gourmet food the street style. As a creative space for food lovers (JayaOne), this is a place for the chefs, bakers and baristas to share their culinary in dishing out their specialties without need to have a high start up cost and yet taking care the customers wallet by charging them a reasonable price.

Often with a twist, their tarts fuse unexpected flavors for a delightful experience. Awaken your taste buds with a combination of the sweet with the savory or the spicy with the salty.
Next to TARTART, would be the POTONG.
What can be better than to bite on a popsicle on a hot sunny day. The tent with 1 fan doesnt help to cool us off here. The only thing is from the POTONG shop or the ice coffee sold down the alley. Founders of POTONG Ivan, TeeReei and Victor are captivated by the simplistic idea of developing unique flavor concoctions. The trio only use the freshest, seasonal, natural ingredients that literally melt in your mouth. On this special occasion, these trendy artisan pop makers are bringing out the crowd hits to keep you cool. There are red bean, gula melaka, teh tarik, water melon fizz, Pina Colada, Strawberry Pepper and Choco-Nut. Not to forget there are wine and beer flavor as well. The wine flavor were awesome.

Moving on after the coffee would be checking out the quiche by A QUICHE TO REMEMBER
Home made quiche
The owner started off cooking hearty food for her children where every parents believe in home cook is the best. ! Foods th at are fresh and using most fresh ingredients are the best and that is what drives her passion to create all the awesome range of quiche that tackles the heart of the guest here. They were the fastest stall to sold out in this event. They sold out around 2 hours after the opening. This is how good they are. I was there early and got a glimpse of all their great foods.
The ladies behind all the great quiche.
Done with the main course, we move on for more desserts.
Ultra fudge brownies with Baileys Irish Cream & Walnuts RM9
Perfect for high tea.
Dont judge by its size. A piece of this were extremely filling. It is so pack with ingredients and solid.
Having lived in London with a delightful landlady who sold chocolate treats for a living, Lexy adapted her recipe to create her own decadent alcohol-infused treats. What started off as little therapy sessions exploded into a mission to deliver some damn good brownies to the world. The brownies were awesome but however if only they can heat it up before serving them would taste even better.
If you find brownies is too filling for you, try go for cup cakes which is lighter.
Cupcakes at Food Bites are brought to you by THE FAT BLOSSOM.
There are Earl Gray Cupcakes too which I find it interesting. But I cant stuff in any more after the brownies. I have to take a break and save some space for the only Pork gourmet served here.
The cupcakes were prepared by Yun Ann which she got her aspiration from Melbourne, Australia.
Next to the cupcakes table were FRONTERA SOL OF MEXICO. They were the tenant from JAYAONE where they are they Mexican Food specialist here. They are famous for the Icy cold Horny Magaritas and true taste of Mexico.
Mexican Tacos fillings
Ive tried their food before and you can search for some past article in my blog.
The finale of the whole event where they serve the food latest is The TRANSPARENT APRON.
They were Ryonn and Nick who have a unique concept on their foods.
They call themself supper club which they serve a min of 4 up to 6 pax at any one time. There will be 4 course dinners serve right from their home. You dont dine in restaurant environment but their home where they stay. For getting them to participate in Food Bites give us an opportunity to sample their cooking skills before heading to the supper club.
BRB RM5 Be Right Back . No no no .. It is Deep Fried Breaded Balls of Bacon Bits & risotto rice served with Napolitana sauce
Pork-Dog RM10
Fresh pork sausage on a bun topped withchilicon carne and fresh white onion served with a side of chips
Pork-gy RM15
This is the last dish which I waited for long 3 hours for it to arrive. I put a high expectation for this and it does notdisappoint.
This is a dark alecinnamon slow braised pork with root vegetable mash where it has a texture close to bak kut teh. The proportion of its lean and fat are just nice for me where if too much fat. Too much fats will make us lose appetite after a few bites.
The lean meat can be peeled just light that. It is so tender and tasty. After trying out the foods served by the TRANSPARENT APRON, I will be making a reservation with them real soon.
