#CHILLWITHME: MIDSUMMER NIGHT CAFE | OVERSEAS UNION GARDEN (KL)

An art teacher, an editor at an entertainment magazine, a lecturer at a local college, well-versed in food photography, had wrote a lot of movie reviews for various magazines since 1997 and knows magic. This talented guy not other than the cafe's owner, Mr. Jon Dep. (No, not the Johnny Depp you're thinking about.) 

MIDSUMMER NIGHT CAFE is an unique cafe runs with its very own style by the passionate advertising graduate. Almost hidden and opens only at night during weekdays, the cafe is located above an auto workshop on the first floor. If you're looking for that evening brew on a quiet night, this cafe may fit in to the bucket lists. 

It's truly an adventure to uncover the cafe itself. Each and every corners are packed with a "wow" factor. The cafe is fully furnished with tables and chairs made from recycled wood and MARVEL-Themed decoration for this season. Hidden inside is an Art Room, set for customers to draw or paint when patronizing here.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT CAFE menu offers simple meals such as Japanese Onsen Egg Rice, Snacks & Cakes and beverages with endearing names. The Japanese Onsen Egg rice here was created by the owner himself which he inspired from the rice bowl he had at a Yakitori bar, Maruhi Sakaba. The dish include bonito flakes, sesame seeds, seaweed, vegetarian floss made from dehydrated mung beans and minced pork. I didn't get to try the Onsen Egg rice because the whole group went for lunch at another eatery earlier on. Still very full, I have to hold the order till my next visit.

Your order will be taken at the beverage bar and once payment is made, you may return to the seat while waiting for your coffee to be served.

Besides than having a peaceful mind while sipping on that cup of coffee, MIDSUMMER NIGHT CAFE also provides interesting materials to read on. Marvel comic lovers, you'll gonna love this one - The Amazing Spider-Man, my pick. If you're lucky enough, you may have the chance to watch magic show performed by the owner. 

I am more to a milky and not plain coffee kind of person. In very rare cases you'll see me sipping that cup of Black coffee. As a person who believes in dream, the beverage "Dream" catches my attention. It's a coffee served with coffee ice cubes, ice coffee, fresh milk, gula melaka and a very delicious piece of butter cookie.

Chilling together with me that day was a best friend of mine - A guy whom prefer very very strong coffee. Not an ordinary cafe can cater to his liking, I'm serious - no joke! He drink coffee more than water, daily. 

When he first tasted the coffee, he said the coffee is not strong at all despite he requested for a STRONG one. The owner immediately returned the pot of coffee and re-brewed another. 

There's one thing that I would like to compliment the cafe's owner. He is a gentleman with lots of patience. Despite changing the brewed coffee multiple times to suit my friend's preference, he never hesitate and say NO but instead re-roast the beans and re-brew a new pot for him. 

One special brew by the boss

Very very strong coffee!

This cafe is definitely worth a visit. It's crowd-free, peaceful and creative atmosphere. MIDSUMMER NIGHT CAFE is definitely worth a visit over a quiet talk or gathering.

Till then. See you on my next blog!
