A Gorgeous Espresso Experience

Just two days ago, Espresso Lab has held a soft opening at its new Ipoh Garden branch. Yup! You heard me right! It's Espresso Lab!!! This is their first ever out of mall cafe, and they celebrated with a buy one free one promotion for only one day. We are lucky to arrive at the cafe at 9.55pm before it closed. And guess what? We ordered an espresso and flat white for only RM11! We appreciate the knowledgeable and friendly staff, and not to forget, the most beautiful espresso machine in town! As all the other outlets did, they are using the same Astoria Lever espresso machine! Expensive as hell! 

The house blend is very fruity and aromatic, and I love the way they make their thick and creamy espresso with the manual operated machine. You will notice a lack of thick crema though, as the lever machine has a different way of extraction than those semi auto machines, so, can't blame the barista :)
