Breakfast at the Red Beanbag, Publika, Solaris Dutamas
The Red Beanbag |
Searching online for the best breakfasts in Kuala Lumpur,
Red Beanbag popped up more than once. Other bloggers wrote of dreamy eggs and
scrumptious coffee, luscious French toast and a chic Melbournesque ambience. I
found my
own blog post written back when they had first opened and fondly remembered
a skillfully made flat white. The cyber stars were all navigating towards the
Red Beanbag so we followed.
weekend, 10am, we were met with a decent crowd sprouted throughout both the
indoor and outdoor seating. With weekend opening hours starting from 9:30am,
the breakfast brigade had already begun their day.
Red Beanbag Interior |
Things have changed since my last visit. The Red Beanbag is
a bit greener with mobile terraces of pot plants refreshing the air and tables
spilling out onto the first floor balcony. Perched above The Square of Publika,
the café affords a leafy canopy runway for viewing the happenings of the mall’s
artistic centre. The menu has expanded too. A host of mains and some alcoholic
beverages are new additions we look forward to sampling in the future. This
day, however, was all about breakfast.
freshly squeezed juices in bottles. An
assortment of uncommon blends of fruits decelerated our tempo in making a
decision on what to order. After much deliberation, the Red Apple plus Dragonfruit
and, the Guava plus Lychee were our final picks. Priced at RM5.50 a glass, we
thought the cost reasonable considering the freshness of the drink and obvious
quality of the fruit.

Taking suggestions from the staff we ordered the three most
popular dishes. (apart from the French toast which I had tried on my first
visit). Eggs Atlantic v2.0 came out first. Poached eggs with a smooth hollandaise
sauce, snappy asparagus, mushrooms and smoked salmon topped two thick
mattresses of fluffy French-toasted bread RM17.90. Lucky for me the portion
furnished two pieces so I was able to claim my share before hubby swiped it all
off the plate. We’re both fans of eggs benedict so this twist on the original
easily won the approval of our taste buds.
breathing in the aroma of the recently toasted cheese that this dish would fill
our calorie banks with a surplus supply. Eggs are cracked into a baking dish of lamb,
beef and chicken bratwurst mixed with sundried tomatoes, aubergine and potatoes
and, smothered with a cheese blanket before being baked to perfection and served
on a wooden chopping board with crusty bread. (RM17.90) Sinfully delicious, thoughts
of getting a healthy start to the day were put aside as we stuck the first fork
into the pot lifting up the gooey strings of cheese and piercing the egg yolks
to reveal a mush of sausage and potato chunks bathing in a savoury goo of
tomatoes and eggplant. We can see why this is a favourite amongst regulars.
Flat White |
Finally the Skyscraper came out as a sweet ending to our
salted beginnings. A tower of six fluffy
pancakes stood tall beside a bowl of strawberries and caramelized bananas with
a jug of maple syrup just waiting to be poured in a sticky mellifluous torrent
over the stack. (RM14.90). After complete consumption of the two preceding
dishes, the clean plate finale, is testimony in itself that the pancakes were a
hit.
Rubra in Perth. The resulting bold coffee is much to my liking and we ended our
meal cheerily with a skinny Cappuccino and Flat White. RM8
weekdays until 3pm.
excellent coffee, Aussie inspired café ambience
I stay rather near publika, very convenient indeed. I'd love to drop by these days, the baked eggs sound good. Me and boyfriend adore pancakes. 🙂
These pancakes are very good. They don't try to do anything fancy, just keep the basic recipe and do it well.
We were there for brunch last sunday, my favourie is the almond french toast. 😀
Oh yes, I like that dish too. 🙂
the breakfast is really yummmy..
if I do not know what to eat for breakfast I will come to you blog..
I'm on a breakfast roll this week! 🙂
Super love! 🙂
Oooo…pancakes! But aren't theirs a bit too thick? The Eggs Atlantic certainly looks super yummy!!! Drool!
Maybe it's the close up shot. These pancakes were perfectly fluffy. Just the right size.
gosh, the breakfast brigade wakes up much earlier than i usually do on weekends! it's gonna be noon at the earliest by the time i park at publika! 😀
I thought we were early but there are obviously many out there who actually get out and start their day with the sun. 🙂
The egg atlantic looks yummy…ken
This was a favourite.
The breakfast menu is all day long! Yippee!
My feeling exactly! Yippee! 🙂
I am not such a breakfast man but the first dish is something I would try.
Greetings,

Oh you're missing out. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day!
Their pancakes looks delicious and sinful! =)
I think the best thing they do here is not mess with an already good recipe. They go traditional pancake stack and do them well. 🙂
Been there once & I love their breakfast menu!
Favourite dish?
It's closed on Mondays! I came on the Malaysia Day long weekend with high expectations of a yummy breakfast, but had to leave disappointed. The blog did not mention that they don't open Mondays. Nevermind, will come again another time.
