Not for Me

Recently, I have been visiting all-day-breakfast places such as Wild Honey and Ra-Ft so when I read of another highly recommended breakfast and coffee eatery, I went there to try out the food with my 3 friends at 8 in the morning.

Since this place does not serve pork, I did not order its Full Breakfast aka Big Breakfast. Instead I ordered the Turkish Breakfast (MYR39.60 nett) which was given many good reviews. The description on the menu says: "Phyllo (filo) -wrapped soft-boiled organic egg, crispy feta, fresh cucumber and tomatoes, olives, hummus and pita bread". Honey was also provided.

Now you can see the egg and two small balls of feta cheese (too salty). I find the pita (underneath the greens) too hard for my teeth.

As we share all the food, my friend ate this soft boiled egg with its runny yolk.

As I love to eat the brioche french toast at Ra-Ft, I was very eager to try the Fluffy brioche French Toast (MYR29.70 nett) here as online reviews say that it is one of the best french toast in the Klang valley. It is served with vanilla ice cream, berries compote and maple syrup.

Although it is soft and could be considered fluffy, as it was deep fried, I don't quite like the smell of oil on it. Its taste reminded me of those soft and fluffy deep fried doughnut.

I also tried the filtered coffee which was served in a bottle (MYR16.50 nett) with its name card (Ardi Sidama, Ethiopia) around its neck. Plain drinking water was provided foc for all.

This card describes the taste of the filtered coffee: fruit tones with floral and dark chocolate notes. Unfortunately as I am not a coffee drinker, I am lost here.

From 8 to 9.30 am there is a bakery promotion (mentioned on FB) - for MYR12+ (MYR13.20 nett), one can have a pastry with a coffee. The price for a pastry is about MYR8 and for a Flat White (coffee) is about MYR12 so this promotion is worth having. We ordered a cinnamon pastry that my friend doesn't want to eat because it is too buttery. To me, the cinnamon taste is stronger than the butter taste.

and a cup of Flat White. Do ask for this promotional price if you are dining there from 8 to 9.30 am.

Total bill for 4 pax is MYR98.99 nett (MYR99). I don't think I will eat here again as the food does not suit me and they were playing R&B songs and classic soul songs such as September by Earth, Wind and Fire (I think STP would know this song) so early in the morning at 8 when my ears are not fully awake yet.

  1. LoL at 'my ears are not fully awake yet'. At 8am, every part of my body is not awake yet. Haha.

    I don't think I'll enjoy dining here neither. The only thing that caught my attention is the soft boiled egg. That one maybe I'll like :D

    5. Ah, I wonder what kind of places would play classic soul music in public places.

  3. Oh yes! I do know September! Earth, Wind and Fire, from way back in my good ol' disco days...Boogie Wonderland!!! :D

    Buttery and your friend did not like it. Oh dear!!! I would love anything that's buttery. I sure would love to try everything here, so different, so very interesting. Now I'm wondering what their Big Breakfast looks like.

    P.S.:
    Merryn, I was out and about by 7 last Sunday morning. You'll find out why in an upcoming post in my blog. LOL!!!

  5. This post is interesting and got me into very deep thinking over some issues. I always loved to eat good pastry like this but we seldom see much pastries being sold at bakeries as they would easily turn soft.

    I heard coffee? Bring on for me!

    I often felt bad & sympathize with you when any food was too hard for your teeth. I had no idea on this until I saw a lady friend chewing some chicken and her tooth fell off from her gums painlessly! I was sad to hear how weak her gums had become till all her teeth were shaky & she is just 40. My wife said I was crazy to enjoy eating the toughest guava fruits and those caramel peanut squares that threatened to break my teeth. Silly me. I will watch my teeth and go for softer food.

    1. if you have good strong teeth then should be ok to eat crunchy food. please go try the special filter coffee and see if you can taste the floral, fruits and chocolate taste. This pastry is not soft but is crispy and crunchy.

  6. I will probably go for the cinnamon pastry and coffee to wake me up in the morning. Lol!
