Handmade and Fresh Ricotta @ Cotta Mont Kiara, KL

They serve a delectable and mouthwatering variety of dishes such as salads, pastas, and sandwiches from breakfast to brunch or lunch, made with the freshest ingredients, particularly handmade and fresh ricotta cheese, their specialty made daily and very fresh. They make their Ricotta with the highest quality local pasteurized cow's milk and locally grown zesty lemons. It has a two to three-week shelf life. This cafe is highly recommended if you want to discover the best and freshest ricotta cheese in the Klang Valley area.  

Wow! When we entered the environment, Cotta greeted us with an abundance of Christmas trees that were just around the corner. In addition, there is a vintage motorbike that has really caught my attention especially since the spacious environment is quite cozy and there are many plants surrounding us. Where it gave me a sense of calm and good vibes. Absolutely, it is an ideal spot for taking beautiful photos behind the beautiful scenery. We enjoy taking photos together!

Anyway, I did not have the opportunity to meet the founder of Cotta, Ivan Chong at that time, but I believe that many of you, including myself, would like to hear an interesting story about Cotta, and let's learn more about its history. According to his story on the Cotta website, he began to set up Cotta during the pandemic after facing a few challenges in his career and life. He put in extra effort and committed all of his time, money, and energy after learning how to make Ricotta on YouTube starting that, he gained confidence and built his creative idea towards Ricotta and turned it into a variety of delectable dishes with the most freshly Ricotta. It fulfills his dream of opening his own cafe. Within two years, his small cafe evolved from a hidden gem in Damansara Heights to a rooftop cafe in Mont Kiara. As a result, his journey has become more beautiful and sparkly, just as his life should be. Wow! What a lovely story to share! The quote like "Don't give up on your dreams, no matter how difficult the journey" 

I can't wait to see the unique and special sandwiches, The Prawn Special (RM46) that will be available for a limited time (10 for a day). I'm like, "Wow!" This is a must-try signature dish! Local Sabah prawns poached in a homemade tomalley are topped with a variety of ingredients such as secret sauce, ebiko, sous-vide egg, nori, and freshly made ricotta. The flavor is a perfect combination, especially the prawns, which are too good to bite! It is the most expensive dish on the menu, but it is also one of the most popular and signature dishes. Although the price is expensive, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that is well worth experiencing.

Chuck Mooris (RM28) is another dish that will be served. What exactly is it? This dish is recommended for those who enjoy beef. Chuck Mooris consists of smoked Australian beef, homemade chimichurri, chilli padi, sous-vide egg, fresh ricotta, and sourdough bread. This beef is slow-cooked for 6 hours and then smoked before serving. I was surprised to see that the chili padi had also been given. You can try it if you want to amp up the spiciness. The flavor is quite good, and the beef does not have a strong meat odour.
