Sunday Brunch - Breadfruits Cafe, Desa Sri Hartamas

What is the weekend without a hearty brunch filled with good food and good company? Brunches are my absolute favourite meal of the week. How can it not? It's Breakfast + Lunch which means you can over-order and over-eat and ain't nobody's gonna judge cause you've not eaten either meals! HEHE 

One thing that I love about KL, is the vast variety of new cafes to try every weekend! I mean, there's always something new to try (well, everything's nearly new to me anyway. I say nearly cause I've lived here for 6 months, coming 7 so really, I'm getting better... haha)

Last Sunday, Swan and I decided to check out BreadFruits! Since I was in the 1Utama Area and she was coming from Bukit Jalil, she thought it would be great to sort of meet in the middle.. which we did! 

First thing to note was there was a waiting list. BreadFruits is not a very big cafe, actually, to be completely honest, it is a little tiny. Thankfully Swan reached before I did and so she popped her name down first (SOO.. haha!) and we still had to wait for about 20 minutes (could be more, could be less) outside.

We also sat outside, which we didn't mind cause there were ceiling (?!) fans above us, which meant it wasn't a sweat-fest. Hehe The inside of the cafe looked a little crowded, IMO and I also overheard one of the waiters telling some girls that if they wanted to sit inside, they'll have to share tables, which I guess for some would be okay, but personally, I like a little more privacy IE having our own table.

Menu wise, I would say there is a lot of choices. Brunch, Salads, Sandwiches, Pasta.. it took me a while to sort of decide what I wanted to eat as well! :) 

Here's how our table looked like once all the food was served.

Here's Swan with her Gourmet Antipasto Breakfast Platter, which I thought was a real deal. She paid about RM26++ if I am not mistaken, and it comes with a small juice of the day as well as coffee or tea!

Her platter came with some delicious looking salad, 7 minute eggs, bread, two types of cheeses, chorizo, salami and ham! Man, I think I might order this too if I ever go again. Except maybe I'll ask if I can get some fried or scrambled eggs instead cause I can't do gooey eggs like this. 

I was feeling extra carby yesterday so I opted for pasta (I LOVE PASTA- WHOS WITH ME WOOHOO). Pan fried Salmon linguine pasta with rocket, capers and onions (RM19++). I also had a detox juice as well (RM10). They have an extensive list of juices, so juice lovers won't be disappointed!

I enjoyed my pasta very much. I liked that there were a lot of greens in it, as well as a truckful of capers! The salmon was cooked lovely as well, well seasoned and with a crispy exterior. If I had to pick on anything, it was just a little tooooo oily for my liking, but still a good pasta dish nevertheless.

It was a delighful meal and I wouldn't mind going back sometime again to maybe try their French Toasts, or one of their sandwiches (I am seriously looking for a good sandwich here in KL, the ones I've tried has failed me so badly. I miss a good british sandwich!)

If you're looking to try somewhere new this weekend, here's a suggestion:

Wrecking Ball

Just a sneaky little selca.
I haven't posted a picture of my face in the longest time on my blog!

As you can probably tell from my title of this post, I am obsessed with Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball. The lyrics are great. And if you know me, then you'll know how much I love lyrics. He he he

"Don't you ever say I just walked away. I will always want you."

Ugh, so relevant to my life right now.

Anyway, besides relating my life to all the emo songs ever. I've had a pretty good weekend (and week-- for that matter). Last Sunday, I attended a wedding of a cousin and it was lovely. A lot of fun. I am always and forever up for an occasion where I get to put on a dress and pile on the makeup! haha

Got to hang out with Allisan yesterday! Been looking forward to the moment where I am reunited with the great Allisan again and I did!!! So happy. I have missed her so much, it was nice to spend time eating, shopping and talking. Reminiscing about our good times abroad was really fun too :) You know, how people always say, there are friends, and then there are friends you know are for life. Well, I think Alli is someone I think I could and will be friends for life. (LOL saja saja only la. I say, I don't know how she feels about this................ lololol super syiok sendiri here please. Sorry)

Also, Alli brought me to play this game called The Secret Room, with Anthony and two of her college friends, and basically it is a mystery room! There are 6 themes all together, but we got the Slaughter Room yesterday and it was loads of fun after you get used to the darkness and freakiness of the room :P

All in all, I had a fruitful and satisfying Saturday which makes me real happy :)

Our winner dinner

With Super Alli! *hearts

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

State of Grace

#np: Taylor Swift - State of Grace 

Hello everyone (haha, don't actually know if anyone checks in here anymore) but I thought I'd do a little update here. 

So, fortunately, I'm no longer unemployed :D That, and I've moved to Kuala Lumpur for a job. It has been quite a hectic two weeks now..(I came over last last Monday with my mom who stayed over for a week and left last Monday) but I gotta say, I'm enjoying it! More than I thought I would actually. Obviously, it's always a pain in the ass trying to get to know your new surroundings and it doesn't help that everywhere you go, people are telling you to be careful and to hold on to your handbag properly etc. But it has still been good. 

I take the public transport to work every morning and it has been quite an experience going through rush hour bad squeezing into trains like a pack of sardines. Not my favourite way of travelling but hey! What to do. Can't drive here yet since I am totally unfamiliar with the roads and the way of driving here. But I'm coping. Thank god for people who are willing to pick me up and send me to places where public trains are inaccessible :) I am blessed with the people I meet and I am thoroughly thankful for that. 

It's a Saturday today, so no work today. Therefore explaining why I am able to blog :) I will hopefully update this space once a week over the weekend if I find the time but for the mean time, let me upload some pictures of when my mom was here :) we went to Melaka for a day trip one of those days as well!

All for now, hope everyone is well.
