A coffee lovers heaven. Coffee Hut (opens from 7pm onwards till late) serves a variety of coffee and tea.

Prices are mid range. A cup of local coffee will set you back RM 3 while a cup of international coffee would cost RM 5.

Besides the execellent coffee and tea selection, one can also order food from the next door eatery, Rasta. Two worth mentions are Azim's burger shack and the Satay Kajang.

Get to Taman Tun. Drive as if going towards One U. At the traffic lights, instead of turning left to One U, turn right. You would be on Jalan Burhaniddin Helmi. Go straight past the traffic lights. You would be passing Esso and Mobil on your right. Rasta & the Coffee Hut is in between the two gas stations.

At the second traffic lights, make a u-turn into Esso and find parking. Get out of car. Walk to Rasta. Coffee Hut is the not so brightly lighted venue.

CRABS OF THE SEASON AT THE EMPEROR

This month, Chef de Cuisine of The Emperor, Louie Hoi, has conjured up 7 creative methods to prepare his crustacean friends. When you order Australian Mud Crabs, Snow Crabs, Flower Crabs or Soft Shell Crabs, you may now have them prepared in a variety of methods. For instance, request for your crab to be wok-fried with Lemongrass. Or substitute the lemongrass with Salted Egg Yolks. For something with a flavourful twist, have the Chef wok-fry the crab with Spicy Butter Cream Sauce. Alternatively, have your crab prepared in a different method – home fried with Spicy Sauce and Bun.

The Steamed Crab with Chrysanthemum is served with an unmistakably sweet, floral fragrance. In keeping with today’s increasingly health-conscious society, Chef Louie has also been inspired to create two unique crab dishes. One of them is Wok-fried crab with Cinnamon and Chinese Herbs. “Chinese herbal medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC”, explained Chef Louie, when asked why he chose to incorporate Chinese herbs in his cooking method.

Prices start from RM80++ onwards.

Available from 10 October onwards, get your dosage of Hairy Crabs at The Emperor. Look out for Steamed Hairy Crab that is served with Ginger Tea and Home-made Vinegar Sauce. In conjunction with the ‘crab season’, a special ‘Stylishly Hairy Crab’ menu is available for the sampling. A combination of Soup, Steamed Eggs, Hairy Crab and Noodles, this set menu is stylishly presented at your table and priced at RM120++ for lunch and dinner.

Whilst enjoying the luscious crabs, why not complement them with a sip of Chinese Rice Wine? Known for their nutritious values such as boosting immunity levels, the ‘Hua Tao Chew’, ‘Nu Er Hong’, ‘Chen Sao Chiew’, ‘Mao Tai’ and ‘Wu Liang Ye’ are bound to make your crabs taste even more delicious. Emperor’s Chinese Rice Wine is available at RM89++ per bottle.

For reservations, please call 03 5031 6060 extn 1954.
