Antipodean Café in Telawi
If we’re talking about breakfast in Bangsar, Australian-inspired Antipodean has to be on the list. With a striking red and black theme, the chic eatery is almost always filled to the brim.
Family and pet-friendly, the café serves up a mean big breakfast (RM18) with toast, a choice of bacon, sausage, sautéed mushrooms, hash browns, and scrambled eggs. Topped up with some seriously great coffees and you have everything you could ever need for world domination- oh, we meant work.
Shun the heavy breakfast for something lighter? Their display of muffins, cakes, and cookies will have you drooling all over their counter. Don’t worry, we totally would too.
Kedai Kopi dan Makanan Chun Heong in Lucky Garden
Join the morning rush at crowded old-school kopitiam, Chun Heong.
And when in a Kopitiam, there’s nothing better to have than the classic kaya and butter toast (RM1.50), a simple breakfast that Chun Heong does fantastically.
With a generous slather of butter with sweet kaya on crispy yet fluffy toasted bread, we wouldn’t mind having this all day, every day.
That’s not all, with hawker stalls packed together like sardines in a can, there’s a whole variety of local favorites to choose from. From dim sum and pan mee to chicken rice and curry mee, you wouldn’t know where to start!
Restoran Berjaya in Telawi
Delicious halal Chinese food finds a comfortable home in Restoran Berjaya with excellent pork-free renditions of well-loved Chinese fare like wan tan mee (RM6.50) and curry mee (RM6.50). The latter had a spicy broth that was rich and thick, the mee hoon soaking up all the creamy soup.
Thin and springy, the wanton mee was coated in a savory soy sauce that wasn’t too salty. Shredded chicken meat and a couple of fried prawn wantons complemented the noodles perfectly. The wan tan mee stall also means dry curry noodles.
Those who prefer caffeine in the form of tea will love their teh tarik (RM2).
Frothy and creamy, we came very close to shaking our coffee addiction with this delicious cup of tea.
Pulp by Papa Palheta on Jalan Riong
Pulp takes its coffee very seriously. Boasting a selection of beans sourced from prime locations all over the world, the coffee here can be brewed in any way imaginable.
Their long black is thick, smooth, and strong; the perfect wake-up call (it was more of a kick though). If hot coffee doesn’t do it for you, there’s the cold brew, pleasant with fruity notes.
There’s also a selection of sweet cakes and savory pies to go with their excellent coffee. We liked their Brit Bonkers, a hearty beefy filling encased in a thin doughy crust, a filling morning snack to last till lunchtime.
Grand Imperial in Bangsar Shopping Centre
Dim sum is one of the many things that make a great start to the day, although, at Grand Imperial, it’s a late one as they open at 11.30 am (on Sundays, it’s 10 am). But we’re not complaining, we’d have a dim sum for every meal if we could.
Aside from the usual steamed siu mai and fish balls, Grand Imperial offers interesting creations like the lotus root with fish paste. The crunchy lotus root was contrasted by the smooth and bouncy fish paste, a delicious combo.
A must-have is their century egg and pork porridge, so good that even congee haters will love it. Don’t believe us? Only one way to find out! (Psst, it means we want you to try it out for yourself.)
Nutmeg in Bangsar Village II
One of the newer cafés around, cozy little Nutmeg’s breakfast and brunch menu might rival even Antipodean’s (there, we said it!) For something a little different but no less breakfast, there’s the gravlax ‘croissant-wich’ (RM26). A flaky croissant topped with smoked salmon with a hint of paprika, they got the scrambled eggs just right. Creamy, thick, and ever slightly so runny, it was just as it should be.
Alternatively, you can get a Dash of Nutmeg (ha, geddit?) in Bangsar Village, just by the connecting bridge. Nutmeg’s first outpost, is perfect for a quick pitstop for delectable to-go options.
Tedboy Bakery in Telawi
Named after the son of the loving parents who run this cozy bakery café, Tedboy Bakery serves fresh, healthy, and wholesome bread and pastries, the perfect breakfast foods.
An even healthier option comes in the form of their Waldorf salad (RM14.90) with lettuce, fresh apples, celery, and walnuts in a mayo dressing (it even sounds super refreshing!)
For something a little heavier, the gooey and crunchy tuna melt cheese sourdough (RM17.90) was delicious.
Whether you’re in a hurry to work or have time for a quiet breakfast, Tedboy Bakery is perfect for taking away or dining in.
Wondermama in Bangsar Village
If you can’t decide between local favorites or Western fare, Wondermama is here to solve your problems. Recognizable vintage fittings are given a contemporary makeover, stylishly blending Eastern and Western influences.
This crossover is also reflected in their menu with items such as the kaya-tobiko (RM4.50), sweet kaya complementing salty tobiko, a pairing that worked surprisingly well.
Straight-up fuss-free local fare is available too like the Nyonya laksa (RM13.90) which comes with fresh prawns, cockles, and fishcake, with bihun swimming in a fragrant laksa sauce.
Cakes, kuihs, and local desserts are also available.
Devi’s Corner in Telawi
In the early mornings (or the dead of the night), you really can’t go wrong with a Mamak. In Bangsar, that mamak has got to be Devi’s Corner.
While their amazing banana leaf rice is only available for lunch, that doesn’t mean everything else is any less delicious. We recommend their garlic cheese naan (RM5), with fine carrot shavings for a delightful crunch.
For noodles, the Maggi goreng (RM4) is fantastic, not too greasy with enough ‘wok hei’. If all else fails, a simple roti canai and the Tarik will have breakfast settled.
Marmalade Café in Bangsar Village II
Family-friendly Marmalade Café is another guaranteed best bet for breakfast. While their breakfast menu (available 10 am to 3 pm daily), serves the usual fry-ups, we suggest going with their healthier salads.
The soba salad (RM22) with tofu, pumpkin, carrots, and cucumbers with poached prawns was tossed in a light sesame dressing making for a filling and wholesome meal.
It might be blasphemous to skip the coffee but on those sluggish days, a healthier juice might be a more tempting option.
The detox helper (RM11) was a refreshing and cleansing mix of celery, apple, pineapple, ginger, and lemon. Zero Thirst (RM11), with watermelon, apple, and pineapple, really did live up to its name, proving that healthy doesn’t always mean nasty.
