If you are craving for dim sum at the oddest hour, maybe you can try out Yen Yen A One Dim Sum situated at Old Klang Road. 

It opens 24 hours all day long and serves a handful of dim sum with just RM 3 per basket. How cool is that!

This is the best place to visit when you are having a low budget but still wants your Siew Mai craving fix.. 

The service was fast but you might need to wait a little as they only heat up the dimsum once you ordered.

Hong Kong style Siew Mai

 I wanted to try out more dimsum but too bad there's just two of us so we ended up having 9 types of dimsum in total.
The taste was above storebought/ night market dimsum but lower than regular dim sum shop. 
Enough to satisfy your craving but not to say mind blowing. Certainly can't complained with the price we were paying.

Hong Kong style will always be my favourite!

The Royal Siew Mai was similar to hongkong style siew mai  with added green onions and chives.

Salted Egg Siew Mai had a a cube of salted egg yolk garnish wrapped in it, but the taste was not distinct.

The shrimp dumpling was alright, soaking in a herbal soup. Warming and comforting.

 Pork and ham roll was one of the dim sum with a modern twist. I would like it better without the sticky sauce.

Chee Chong Fun  was over steamed so it ended up sticky and mushy. The diced char siew was jumbled up at the center of the chee cheong fun instead of a even distribution.

Salted Egg Custard Buns

Custard-y goodness!

 This basket of Minced Meat Buns will instantly filled you up! Again, the filling was generous and the minced meat had the right portion of lean meat and fats.

The total bill was RM 30 and it was doubtlessly filling for both of us.
I wouldn't mind visiting again, especially when I was craving for some hot bits at late night.

This is one of the easiest recipe as it doesn't require skill and it tastes awesome with the sour bits of the tic-tac and chunky bits of the candy bar. 

Without further adieu, let's get things started!

Tips

1. You can choose any chocolate that you like (dark, milk, white) but I thought that white chocolate looks prettier with the popcorn.
2. I packed the popcorn in a cleam jam jar and covered the lid with a gift wrapper and wrap it with a strings. You can use ribbons or cloth or even stick on messages on the jar. 
Just use your creativity!
3. Feel free to use any candy bars or candies that your loved one prefer. I use the strawberry fields tic-tac as I thought it gave a Valentine's vibe.
4. I bought the white chocolate at my local baking supply shop while the popcorn at a magazine store.

The trees provide some shades if you prefer to sit outside.

Small yet comfy place.

You can chill here and play board games with your friends.

The coffee here was a little too acidic for my taste but was good enough. I preferred the latte over long black that they served over here. The mocha was rich in texture but lack of the chocolate-y taste that I'm looking forward to.

They offered a series of Christmas drinks selection this month including After 8 and peppermint mocha. I opted for the toffee nut latte and the combination was interesting but had an artificial after taste, probably because of the toffee nut flavoring.

Long Black  RM5.00

Toffee Nut Latte RM 8

Mocha RM 8

Latte RM7

Moving on to their dessert, I would say they served pretty good chocolate lava cake and millie crepe cake and the best of of all, the price is much cheaper as compared to other cafes. The apple pie was moist and paired well with the ice cream but I would prefer it with a little more apple fillings. Not complaining with the price I'm paying though.

Apple Pie with Ice Cream - Forgot about the price, should be within RM10

Glasshouse warmed up their pastries before they served which was a plus point! However the doughnut was disappointing as it was stale and very dry after it was warmed up.

Two Face Doughnut RM 3.50

I would say their chocolate lava cake is one of their best dessert and I ordered it every single time. The gooey flowing lava never seems to disappoint!

Chocolate Lava Cake with Ice Cream RM6.50

Look at that!

Besides that, their millie crepe cake was moist and the crepe was very thin. I really like their green tea passion as they added in a little passion fruit jam in between the cream which made the flavor pop.
Their oreo millie crepe cake was pretty good too! ( I don't have the picture of it).

Green Tea Passion Millie Crepe RM 10

Pastries- wise, what I tried was so-so. The giant curry puff had a weird curry taste as if it didn't corporate well enough with the filling. The chicken mince puff was slightly better, but a tad dry. I have yet to try their sandwiches but I can see that there's a handful of people that ordered it during our visits.

Chicken Mince Puff  RM 4.50

How it looks like inside!

Giant Curry Puff  RM 5

All in all, I would say that Glasshouse is worth the try especially their chocolate lava cake!
If you are an outsides, do go after to the guardhouse to ask for a visitor card before entry (no need to write names, you just need to get a pass and leave your driving license maybe?)
