I'm comparing this to other western breakfast restaurants in Klang Valley such as Red Bean Bag, The Good Batch, Nutmeg, etc.

Antipodean still wins them all purely on two points:-
- Portion: Most generous in their class.
- Price: Cheapest in their class.

I didn't really care for taste because honestly, how badly could you mess up ham and eggs?

Have always been meaning to try this place and finally did last week. Its located in Bangsar where there are many cafes and competition is stiff. This place stands out and is always crowded which is the only downside but a good one for them I guess. Service was good and attentive which is different from what the others are stating below. Maybe I was just lucky.
The main draw obviously is the food. We had the 2 highly recommended items which were the Big Breakfast and Banana Pancakes. The breakfast was just so so but the pancakes were to die for. Especially the butterscotch sauce. Make sure to ask for double servings of those. The coffee is also top draw. Smooth and creamy. Will definitely return to try more of their dishes. They have some unique choices.
This is a very nice place for breakfast and brunch. The interior is cosy and great for couples or friends to just hang out and chat. Not that large a place though hence the crowd. Definitely recommended

We reached to here quite fast, unfortunately we spent some time to find parking, 30minutes perhaps? >< Cuz it was really fully parked by others. With no choice, we parked it in Bangsar Village mall. At there, we were finding parking because there were lots of cars waiting for the slots too. Seriously headache at that moment, but no choice as we’ve been craving for it for a long time.
Then, we walked to the restaurant at Jalan Telawi 2.
It is located near to Yeast Restaurant.
There were lots of people when we went in. Fortunately we were able to find a place.

The services at there were good too. One of the staff came and asked us whether we are satisfied with the food or not. Good services. *thumbs up*

This is the MUST-TRY dish whenever you dine-in to here. It is big in portion where it can be shared by 2 people. I personally love the egg cooked with cheese and mushrooms. And BACON too!! *recommended*

The egg Benedict is served with bacon, salad and bread. To be honest, I’m not impressed by it. The egg just tasted like normal egg where you can cook by yourself.
However, thumbs up for the bacon. The bacon tasted very delicious!!

Ever since I saw my friend's facebook post on Antipodean which seemed like a foreign name, I wanted to go there and check out what is so great about it. I was even more curious when I got there together with my friend last September 2013 and saw a long queue in the morning of a weekend.

Ever since I saw my friend's facebook post on Antipodean which seemed like a foreign name, I wanted to go there and check out what is so great about it. I was even more curious when I got there together with my friend last September 2013 and saw a long queue in the morning of a weekend. So after waiting for about almost 25 minutes in the queue, we eventually went to La Crepe which is an awesome cafe opened by a French lady for just two weeks when I first got there.

Today, I am so glad and delighted that I finally got here and a table INSIDE THE ANTIPODEAN! I guess perhaps coming here at night is the wisest thing to do, probably because Malaysians prefer to do the breakfast thing in the morning or brunch time and not dinner time. I guess it is best to do things the opposite way some times.

I came here with an Nigerian friend and a Malaysian militarian major whom I have just met. This is definitely a fabulous place to meet up and chit chat, that is if we pick the meet up time at night instead of in the busy morning where the place is very crowded and probably too noisy to chit chat.

My Nigerian friend ordered the famous Big Breakfast which consisted of milky scrambled eggs, grilled button mushrooms, hashbrowns (or scottish patty, as it looked to me), toasted multigrain bread and chicken/pork sausage and also bacon. I kind of like the mushrooms but my friend did not seem to favour it.

My other friend ordered Grilled Chicken breast. The chicken was quite tender and was served atop of 4 quarters of tomatoes that were very juicy. Under the tomatoes were french beans with some sort of sweet sauce.

I ordered the New Zealand imported lamb burger with a lot of salad, which the pretty boss, who looks very much like my Kiwi friend, recommended. The lamb was very succulent and tender.

One of the popular fruit juices here is the Tolago boy Sunrise which consisted of banana, strawberry and orange. This was amazing and was very fresh and sweet. The next time I visit this place I would definitely try the other blended juices.

antipodean cafe.

defined by:

o1. its motto - coffee . cafe . culture
o2. it being shortlisted for time out kl food awards' best coffee 2011 and 2012 and in 2011 for best new restaurant.

perhaps that's the reason behind the hype for this cafe.

my stumble upon this cafe was not intentional - sorta. the original plan to try a french patisserie in the area fell through when it declared its own public holiday last monday. plus, the crowd at antipodean cafe lured us closer, filling in as a substitute for our much anticipated brunch.

with the huge parties waiting ahead of us, i assumed it might be a rather long wait but surprisingly about 5 minutes after we put our names on the waiting list, we were seated in the petite cafe that was a borderline fire hazard as a result of it being overcrowded. proof: there were barely room to sit comfortably between tables. the decor was simple with the coffee bar lined with silver bags of fresh coffee beans against the bright hues of red and orange.

sunlight streamed in the wall lined with windows, highlighting the opposite wall painted as a blackboard where the menu was handwritten. loved the wall menu idea but it sorta irked me that they didn't have printed menus and instead had to strain our necks to read the cafe's one and only menu.

it was off to a bad start when one of the staff stood by the table instantly after we were seated and asked if we were ready. it's good to be enthusiastic but seriously, how can i be ready the minute i walk in and haven't even had the chance to glance at the rather extensive menu selections. i responded with a "i'm not ready yet" and off she went to attend to another diner. less than 2 minutes later, another wait staff paused at our table with a notepad and pencil out and before he could utter the words, i impatiently repeated "we're not ready to order yet". less than 2 minutes later, i gave up when another came to get our order and i ordered something even though it felt so rushed. it put a slight damper to the rest of the meal but i brushed it off.

appreciating the beautiful coffee foam art, i took a sip and was greeted by a good amount of bitterness from the espresso (although lacking that tart note in the end) mellowed by the creaminess of the milk that shone with a crown of foam.warm and satisfying. but if i had to compare to my favorite-st cuppa joe, it was missing the same smoothness and richness. however, overall a yummy mug of caffeine goodness.

a huge portion of omelet served with a side salad of greens and sweet cherry tomatoes tossed lightly with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. when i picked out this dish, i expected the smoked salmon to be semi raw but was slightly disappointed when i noticed the salmon pieces were cooked completely after my first bite. the smoked salmon sprinkled saltiness in between each bite of the soft fluffy eggs which was otherwise slightly monotonous in flavor and lacked textural difference. the dish's saving grace was the crunchiness of the salad with occasional flavor injections of sweetness and tartness from the lovely tomatoes.

{hr} selected the chicken sausage from the list of proteins and also found out that any extras of mushrooms or hashbrown, to name a few, resulted to an additional rm 9 to the price tag. while {hr} was happy with the huge serving portion, he concluded that the food itself was lackluster. i had a bite of the 'grilled' tomatoes - if you can even call it that. the open-faced thick sliced tomatoes lacked grilled marks and caramelization that i was hoping from being grilled. it literally tasted like they seared one side of the tomatoes for 30 second.

a quick glance at the offerings of food on the adjacent table, i was appalled by the doneness of the bacon - it looked like the bacon could have spent more time in the pan to get it crispier >.<

i began to understand the reason behind the quick turnover of diners. as soon as we took the last bite of our food, they cleared the plates off the table. some might construe that as effective and efficient but it got out of hand that they wiped the table before we even asked for the bill - almost like they were hinting for us to leave.

oh, my suspicions were confirmed when the wait staff came by to ask (i suppose it was done politely) if he could bring us our bill so that they can accommodate the patrons on the waiting list. without even asking if we wanted more food or desserts.

i paused and thought. "wow. i think i was just 'kicked out' of the cafe" i don't think i've been ever asked at any restaurants or cafes to pay the bill and leave just minutes after i finish my meal, no matter how busy or popular the place is.



was the cafe worthy of all the hype?

my response: honestly, its popularity boggles my mind.

the food, in general, was mediocre at best. however, the combination of the overly effective service that annoyed rather than impressed me as well as my first time ever being "kicked out" from a cafe/restaurant (even though it was done in a polite manner) have left a bitter taste in my dining experience at antipodean cafe.

as i described my experience to {mw}, she captured it rather accurately - it sounds more like a stressful, brisk morning brunch. definitely opposite from how i'd imagine myself spending my free mornings.

Iced Mochacino (RM10)
The weather was so hot, so we painfully skipped the hot bevarage with pretty latte art and picked a glass of iced mochacino. We were happy that our iced mochacino was beautifully served too, tasted soothingly thick and rich. Just a little more chocolaty we would mistakenly think that it was iced chocolate.

Apple Pie. To end our heavy meal, we ordered apple pie as our dessert. The pastry was the soft and not crispy as compared to other cafe's apple pie. I think they should improve on the pastry. The fillings of apple pie was mashed up and it was not too sweet. I managed to taste strong apple flavour. I enjoyed the fillings of this dessert but not the pastry. Overall, it was fine.
