Kaffe Cafe, TTDI

The deal: All-day big breakfast set at Kaffe Cafe 

What we got:

All day breakfast (RM20)

When I chanced upon the Kaffe Cafe deal, I thought it was a pretty good one--two all-day big breakfast sets at Kaffe Cafe, TTDI for just RM25. After all, some of the cafes in Bangsar/Publika serve up 'big breakfast's for about 20 bucks per person sans drinks, so at RM12.50/pax, the deal seemed reasonable enough. As you can see above, the plate had scrambled eggs, 3 cocktail sausages, 2 slices of ham, 6 coins of pepperoni, 2 mini hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms, toast and half a tomato on a bed of lettuce--value at first glance, I'd say.

While the cafe's environment was decent (cosy and inviting), unfortunately we couldn't say the same for the food. The first thing I reached out for turned out to be the worst--the scrambled eggs. It was so salty that I could taste the egg only after I'd tasted the salt. It was practically egg-flavoured salt! To say it was a chore to finish the eggs would not be an exaggeration; my partner decided he could not finish it because it was too salt-laden to bear. Truly the worst eggs prepared any style I've ever had.

The mushrooms didn't fare much better. They were wet--not in a good way--and tasted like they'd not been cleaned/had the juice squeezed out of them properly, if you know what I mean. Thankfully the rest of the breakfast tasted all right; the sausages, ham, pepperoni, hash browns and baked beans were fine, while the grilled half-tomato and toast were average. 

Cappuccino and flat white (RM9 each)

For drinks, we got the cappuccino and the flat white. Nothing to complain about here.

All in all, it was a rather disappointing breakfast. Whatever was good on the breakfast platter was marred by how bad the scrambled eggs were; we went searching for more drinks after just to get rid of the salty aftertaste in our mouths. Based on this first impression, we doubt we'll be revisiting anytime soon.

Tax: Service charge of 10%

How much we paid: RM25
