Sunset @ Olie’s Cafe

On a sunny Saturday I decided to take a short road trip to another district, BELAIT just to kick off my weekend. I have decided to give a try to one of the current trending place especially for KETO meals. I was told that hidden amidst the sleepy Seria town lies a charming culinary gem with an invitingly cozy and warm atmosphere called Olie’s cafe. To be honest, I am not that familiar with neither Seria nor Belait.

With Waze application assisting my trip to KB, I stayed closely to the instruction given by the lady in the app (๑>ᴗ<๑).

As we reached Seria Town, with the unfamiliar road, it was nerve wrecking.

At first I lost my way with the address given in their instagram as I don't know which building is which

୧| ͡ᵔ ﹏ ͡ᵔ |୨

I approached a stranger asking for direction to Olie’s Cafe, unfortunately she is also unsure. However, another kind and friendly stranger overheard us asking for direction. He then approached us to make sure that he heard it right. He then told us its just just across the road.

Located in a clean looking alley of Seria Town, Olie’s Cafe is situated on the 1st floor. As you walk passed, you will see a number of cafe at the ground floor. Olie’s Cafe is labelled with a simple hanging sign and chalk board listing some of their menu on one side and their opening hours on the other side.

The moment I stepped inside, I was instantly captivated by the modern and calming shades of blue interior that takes its cue from the night sky and the aroma of freshly made espresso permeating the air. In contrast, opposite the calming blue shade of the feature wall as entering the cafe, the wall is coloured in a natural calm white with frames filled in with images of black an white coffee, enhancing the calm and balance of the atmosphere.

In my opinion, this is a place to hang out whilst enjoying the ambience and at the same time indulge myself in some guilt free food and dessert ٩(●ᴗ●)۶

Olie’s Cafe offered their Hearty Packed Meals of Pick N’ Mix where you can customized your meal according to your preference of main dish, base, sauce and sides. The price for this varies from BND8.00 - BND12.00. However, if you are to choose low carb/keto base such as caulirice (cauliflower rice) or caulimash (mashed cauliflower) there will be additional BND1.00 to your meal.

If you decided to make it as a set meal that comes with healthy drinks or keto cake, there will be a discounted price on them.

I have decided to order 2 Hearty Pick N’ Mix meal

Meal 1:

Main Dish: Salmon with Cream Cheese & Spinach

Fresh Steamed Salmon topped with tasty cream cheese and spinach slightly break the creamy texture adding a chewy texture on the topping. The tender salmon meat that melted in your mouth mixed well with the cream cheese and spinach.

Base: Caulimash

‘What is mashed potatoes?’

‘Did I just eat cauliflower?’

That thought just passed by my head. Hardly taste the cauliflower. Is there even cauliflower in this? It more like a little watery mixture of mash (but no potatoes) and the strong taste of the herb making it savoury but you can enjoy it as much as you want without feeling guilty. For the very first time I enjoy eating CAULIFLOWER. Kids will love cauliflower like they never did before if its cook in this way. I never like to eat Cauliflower as a kid (و ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

Sides: Grilled Vegetables of the Day

The vegetables of the day were slices of eggplant and capsicum. The vegetables is carefully grilled with the taste of the herbs and healthy seasoning fully absorbed in it. From the taste, you can tell that they carefully control the grilling temperature so that they did not burn the vegetables which can leave a bruising burnt taste in the vegetables.

Toppings: Homemade Cheese Sauce

One word: TASTY.

The homemade cheese taste as creamy as I could imagine but it did not leave any greasy after taste.

Set Meal: Keto Booster Vanilla with Collagen

Indescribable taste of vanilla, foamy and creamy texture. The non-existence of the feeling of guilty is a nice surprise ٩(θ‿θ)۶

Meal 2:

Main Dish: Low Carb “Buttermilk” Chicken

The buttermilk sauce: Creamy but light texture as compared to the typical buttermilk sauce. However the satisfaction you get from this low carb buttermilk sauce is not less than the typical ordinary buttermilk sauce complete with the taste of curry leaves aroma and the spiciness

Chicken: the chicken breast is super tender and they did not use flour for the crispy chicken in the normal buttermilk chicken. However, the essence of creamy sauce can nicely tasted as you take a bite.

Base: Caulirice

Initially I was quite nervous in tasting the caulirice as the phobia of the healthy taste of cauliflower. But I braved myself to try it and to my surprise, the non existence of cauliflower after taste makes me want to take another spoonful of the caulirice. All I can taste is just merely garlic and herbal taste with a hint of olive oil and seasoning, but it did not have greasy after taste

Sides: Grilled Vegetables of the Day

Topping: Homemade Cheese Sauce

Set Meal: Keto Sesame Charcoal Cheesecake

Super Moist

Topped with dark chocolate and healthy cream which has the taste of sesame. The part that I am most curious is the base of the cake. I’m pretty sure they used olive butter to bind the crust, but I’m not quite sure of the substitute of the digestive cookies that is usually used as cheese cake base. And because of this I might come back for further investigation.

In addition to the above, I also tried one of the most popular cakes among customers is the Keto Burnt Cheesecake — a refreshing compliment after a hearty meal.

The best I ever tasted.

Knowing it’s a keto cheesecake, I did not have a high expectation on this cake. In spite of being a keto cheese cake, this classic keto burnt cheesecake has taken the first place in my burnt cheese cake list 🥳🥳. It can not be denied that the satisfaction you get is as much as or equivalent to the normal burnt cheese cake. But most importantly GUILT-FREE.

Another additional order of mine which I was so curious at the same time excited is: Keto C8 Bulletproof Tea Tarik. (Yes, the tea tarik sound scary as M16 Rifle).

However, it is not scary as it sound, because it is an extra foamy tea tarik I ever drink compared to the Mamak’s tea tarik. Not as creamy as the Mamak’s though. It has a very light texture as you drink it but it is not as creamy nevertheless you can still taste the milk in the tea. It is more like a fine and fancy tea tarik. As you take a slurp, you will tend to find the thick and mily texture of tea tarik to make sure its tea tarik. But you can’t disqualified this as tea tarik as it fulfilled the specification of tea tarik: Tea ✅ Milk ✅ Foam ✅ Tarik ✅ Hence, it is legit tea tarik.

In order to keep their food and beverages healthy and sugar-free as possible, Olie’s Cafe sweetened their drinks using Xylitol / Erythritol / Monkfruit / Stevia extract unless stated otherwise. But you can request if you preferred them to be sweetened by sugar.

The food are really filling and I enjoyed each and every bites of them that I came out of the cafe, the skies was already dark. It was a nice dinner; complete with a relaxing ambience to end my Saturday and ready to chill on my Sunday.

Olie’s Cafe is located at the first floor of Unit 2, Lot 10, Jalan Sultan Omar Ali, Seria.

Opening Hours:

Mon-Sun (Except Fri): 10am-10pm Fri 10am-12pm, 2pm-8pm Last hot meal orders 1hour before closing

Much Love,

The Hidden Gems in Belait District (⌬̀⌄⌬́)

Hello our dearest reader,

First and foremost I would like to apologize for our long absence in updating our page due to my hectic student life as active student (ᗒᗨᗕ)

Hence for this round we decided to do a road trip to the largest as well as the westernmost district in Brunei Darussalam, BELAIT.

Belait district and Seria specifically is known as is known as home of the oil and gas industry. Belait district has a large expatriate community, including Dutch. This is because Royal Dutch Shell has a major presence in the region.

The upcoming blog posts will feature the two of the hidden gems of Belait District. A MUST GO... ┗(＾∀＾)┛

Our first location has a very relaxing and calm ambience suitable for a chill hangout place with friends and family located somewhere in an alley in Seria Town.

Another hangout spot is located somewhere in Kuala Belait, where the CARROT CAKE was highly recommended.

Find our more in our upcoming post (◕‿‿◕｡)

LOVE,

TheSignature
