Podgy and The Banker @ Sri Hartamas

It was a chilly Sunday morning & we decided to check out another newly opened cafe in town, located in the neighbourhood of Sri Hartamas. Podgy & The Banker is a full-fledged hangout spot which offers decent coffee kick. So if you are a coffee-lover, coffee-addict or having coffee-fever, you might wanna check this out as they serves up a pretty decent cuppa.


The ambiance of the cafe is very laid-back & simple, with workshop-like interiors and rustic decoration. It was 11-ish in the morning & boys are busy preparing the servings for hungry wolfs customers.

My cup of Macchiato is a great kick! Some might not like it as it is quite bitter in taste. However, I love my serving well. Boyfie had his favorite - Flat White & commented he still prefer Artisan's Roast. By the way, heard from some sources saying they are using Sumatran Mandheling "Kuda Mas" coffee beans. Would like to try out more in next visit.

Brunch Hour & he ordered omelette while I had Chicken Avocado Sandwich (coz I'm a huge lover for Avocado). I was in doubt at first & hope it is not made of Gardenia bread or a deoxidised avocado spread. And voila, my sandwich turned out to be awesome! Crunchy toasted bread, well-poached chicken with fresh sliced avocado, soft melty cheese and some mayo all came together became oh-so-delicious! Well, eat them fresh when it is served hot! Boyfie's Omelette with bacon (if not mistaken) was just fine, nothing to shout about. Perhaps we are too hungry or the serving size is not filling enough, we ordered desserts!

Spotted some freshly baked brownies over the counter & we just gotta try them out. I felt like I'm in heaven munching down each bites of the brownies. It is rich, full of chocolate flavor, fudgy & moist (without being overly dense). 

Also spotted is FAT BABY's ice cream. Am not a big fan of ice cream but would like to try it out if it is that good. I am actually attracted by it's packaging so I picked Salted Caramel. Overall, the ice cream itself was good & not too sweet but the caramel was too sweet for me. 



So if you are looking for a quiet & cosy place to do your work or purely chillax, this could be your choice.

Hearty Breakfast @ Plan b. , Bangsar Village 1

I've been missing of having English breakfast for a long time! The last was at Cameron Highland's Smokehouse, albeit a tad pricey but not too bad having them at the cooling high peak *wink wink*

Finally, managed to have it on a fine Sunday with the bestie. Since we've not been to Plan b. by thebiggroup, decided to give it a try. It's always full house whenever I passed by, wonder if it's that good? Read on!

Attended by the friendly waiter and leaded us to our table but I dislike the smoking area as it's hot sitting at the alfresco area. Changed our table indoor right after some people left. Hard to get a table even it's 11am, lot's of people do early grocery shop. 
We were served with plain water while waiting our dishes. Indeed a good concept that they used a lab-like bottle to fill in water and serve the customers. Bestie said she encountered the same during her recent Paris trip. Am a big time freak of hospitals or anything related with medical, luckily this is not freaking me out. :)

The big T2-fan -> Me. English Breakfast RM7

The oh-so-lovely Cappuccino! RM6

Eggs Benedict RM13 : Delicately poached eggs & grilled turkey bacon, heaped on a toasted English muffin, topped with Hollandaise.

Eggs Royale RM16 : Delicately poached eggs with smoked salmon, served on a toasted English muffin with Hollandaise. Love how my salmon was cooked, just the way I like it. 

Oh what's Hollandaise? (Look at the yellow creamy thingy together with the egg). It's a sauce made of egg yolk and butter seasoned with lemon juice. A rich and buttery flavor with mild tang added by lemon juice, not too strong as to overpower mildly-flavored foods. 


Isn't this too lovely to drink it up?
