Having lunch with my awesome-pow babes~ The yummy food we ordered and sharing with each other is just right. We love to share foods with each other so that we can taste something different besides our own ordered food. Love the environment over here and the food here is delicious. The baked beans served on top and all of us grab it for a little as we loved to have some of this in a western food. Love the time we spend together.
Antipodean serves marvellous breakfast. Wanted to try out some good breakfast to start myday, i heard alot of good comments about their breakfast here so headed out to Antipodean Cafe @ Bangsar..
If you plan to come here for breakfast, do come early as the queue is long and parking spots are limited too unless you choose to park in the mall nearby. I was quite lucky as me and my friends only waited for less than five minutes including a spot for parking. The breakfast here is quite heavy and lasted me till way past lunchtime. One of my favourite drink from this cafe is their chocolate milkshake. It was rich is cocoa content and the drink was blended till very smooth as the ice melts instantly in your mouth.
If you ever come to this cafe for a meal, I would recommend you come early in the morning as the the are not many parking spots in the vicinity and apart from that, there is a large crowd here especially those coming for their breakfast. The picture above is the lemon meringue pie which I had after trying out their breakfast menu. The white section is the meringue which is fluffy and melts in your mouth. The meringue is doused with a layer of caramelized syrup which makes it very sweet if eaten alone but it goes well with the lemon tart base which is very sourish.

We were unexpectedly taken captive by this cafe on a recent evening, lured into its clutches by temptations including a chunky pumpkin-&-corn fritter _ subtly sweet but insidiously moreish, coupled with crisp, savory beef bacon.
Antipodean's food menu draws inspiration from recipes spanning Southeast Asia and Australia. Portions are filling, prices are fair and the ingredients taste fresh _ all of which apply to this beetroot, carrot & mixed nut salad with balsamic vinegar.
Latte & doppio.
Babycino & mochachino.

The Burmese shredded chicken salad is well worth trying, though its tart, almost acidic attribute might be an acquired taste. Most of the salads cost around 15 ringgit.
Salmon fishcake. Many of these items seem cooked-to-order, so the waiting time can be lengthy. But the results should pacify the fussiest of eaters, especially health-conscious ones who want less salt, oil & artificial flavoring in their meals.
Thai chicken satay. Business hours are brilliant: 8am through 10pm, ensuring that Antipodean will soon become a popular hangout for leisurely outings.
Mango juice & ristretto.

Breakfast dishes are available all day long, even till closing time. The banana & honey "porridge" is simple but satisfying _ warm comfort food underpinned by gooey oatmeal.
Desserts on the counter include this caramelized apple-&-raisin cake, as well as other treats such as flourless chocolate cakes and lemon meringue pies.
Of course, many customers will come for the coffee _ mainly Arabica blends from Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and Bali, produced by Merdeka Coffee, an Indonesian-based franchise that runs cafes in Jakarta, Sydney and Auckland.
We're not crazy for caffeine, but the invigorating brews here hit the spot. Too bad booze isn't sold for now, except for a limited selection of beer.
Long black. Enough to keep us perky after we escaped for a midnight screening of 'True Grit' (my favorite current film, one of this year's few Oscar contenders that moved me to tears).
