Champs Elysees and Eiffel Tower

From Louvre to Champs Elysees quite a distance, but still reachable by foot. Plus you won't be feeling tired as the whole junction fulled with branded store where you can shop like crazy.

First you will saw The Grand Palace (Le Grand Palais) and opposite of it Opera House (Petit Palais)

Very obvious this the largest LV store in Paris and is just next to Arc de Triomphe.

You can climb up the Arc but not free of course. You need to pay 9.50 euro to suffer.

Next, just take a Metro to Bir-Hakeim and you'll see Eiffel Tower from far away.

For Eiffel Tower, it is advisable to book the ticket online. Else you will just turn your back and gone home when you see the queue. Too bad too sad, even if you have the online ticket, you still need to queue as the elevator can only fill up 15-20 people at a time.

Louvre Museum, Paris

As you might know, Louvre, one of the most visited museum in Paris. The queue always pack and scary. If you have Paris Pass, it will help you to skip all the queue and direct access into the museum. However, the Paris Pass is very expensive and only worth it if you visit more museum. For me, I only visit Louvre during my stay in Paris. Hence, Paris Pass totally a waste.

No worries! By accessing to Louvre underground passage using Metro to Louvre Rivoli station. You still be able to eliminate most of the queue, but not all. There are a lot of automatic ticket machines and usually the queue is shorter and faster.

Louvre Entrance Ticket
Louvre Ticket from the machines. Cost 11 euro for each ticket.

Once done, remember to grab a map and you are ready to explore!

Coffee Club

This is the first time went to Coffee Club, the impression was quite bad as their air-con was having problem and it's freaking hot outside. Fortunately there's a seat that near to the cooling fan, so for a second thought I had to sit down and tried their coffee.

The choices are a lot and is very hard to pick one of it. Hence I have my eye close and randomly choose one.

Banana Butterscotch Latte was the one that picked.

The layering was so beautifully blended. Really wish to drink it as it is as I do not wish to stir it even.
Putting that aside, I feel it too sweet for me. The taste of the banana sweet overlap the taste of coffee. 

Basically this is just a cup of Banana flavored milk. Nothing else.

Skybar @ KL

Been stayed near to KL for almost 7years and this is the 1st time I ever sit down relaxing and enjoying to the extraordinary night view of KLCC.

I kinda love the environment here. Great scenery view, pool side, open space concept. It's really a good place for gathering.

What's important is that the entrance is free. No such thing as cover charge here :)

A Morning Breakie @ Levain

Normally if we have time, we will choose to spend more time rolling on the bed. But today, out of sudden we wake up earlier just to catch up a fresh baked bread at Levain :)

Alot of yummylicious cake and dessert in the cold storage. So hard to resist~ but we just keep that for tea time later on perhaps.

We are just here for their bakery and main breakfast menu.

The best thing is that you can get your choosen bread from the tray and let them heat up for you.

A cup of coffee a day, keep you awake whole day. Nicely brewed and taste refreshing :)

Espressamente illy @ Pavilion KL

Ever since I returned from my Melbourne trip, I thought I would never had a chance to taste a great cup of coffee again.

Espressamente illy Menu
But today I'm glad I'm stopped by at Espressamente illy, their coffee brings back the taste and flavour which I had once long forgotten :D

Espressamente illy
The skillful barista who carefully blend out the perfection.

Cappuccino Viennese
Cappucino Viennese. A scent of sweetness and flavourful, yet with a taste of slightly bitterness cup of quality and fine coffee. 100% Perfecto!

However this tiny cup of coffee, cost me for about RM13 that I can actually finish it in a single gulp. But of course this is not the correct way of enjoying coffee right. So, some people might find it expensive. But as for me, considered the quality and taste, this shot totally worth the price.

I guess I will visit them more often whenever I have a chance :)

They do have an official website: http://www.espressamenteilly.com.my
