nutmeg @ bangsar village 2

today was such a heavy day for me. despite having breakfast at the loaf, i could not pass at the suggestion of trying out nutmeg. i've been seeing pictures, hearing raves and reading reviews of this yet another breakfast place. so together with yen, we hit nutmeg. 

the decoir of the place is pretty cool. pretty flowers on the table. and i loved the quotes they had around the place. for instance 'eat whatever you want and if someone lectures you, eat them too. 

i've heard about the amazing different french toasts, the yummy lamb sausages that comes with the english breakfast, the eggs benedict, so i was going back and forth on what to order. so ultimately i settled with the english big breakfast. as for drinks i could not decide what to order so the waiter brought, something to surprise me. i just said hot or cold. yen ordered the cafe latte, whereas my drink surprise was the orange elderflower fizz. the drink was refreshing. yen said the cafe latte was very milky, so i guess if one prefers the milkier version of cafe latte, than this would be the thing to go for. both drinks were priced at 8 bucks. 

my english big breakfast came with 2 homemade brioche toasts which were super airy and soft but not really my thing. i would have preferred a crisped up toast. the lamb sausage was good and pack filled with herbs and spices. i absolutely loved the garlic roasted cherry tomatoes. for each and every tomato, they stuffed a garlic in its core so that the garlic taste would penetrate the entire tomato. perfection. as for the potatoes, they were meant to be hashbrowns but they turned out to be more like roasted potatoes. but i liked them. the outer layer slightly crisp and inside soft. you had a choice between the hashbrowns and deep fried mac and cheese. you also had a choice between salted beef or home made/home cured smoked salmon. i settled for the latter. and it was really good. different from the packaged ones i used to buy in uk, but good nonetheless. as for the eggs, i chose poached eggs, with hollandaise sauce. oh yes and the mushrooms, soaked in olive oil. 28 bucks, a little pricey but i would say the food is good.

yen had the southen breakfast which came with scones, fried chicken, scrambled eggs, potatoes and a side salad. the fried chicken i thought was good. the scrambled eggs are creamy and nice. well i liked it. but towards the end it might get a little too creamy. 26 bucks for the southern breakky.



i'm an absolute huge fan of english breakfasts. going to try all of them and see which one i like best. we were pretty full after lunch. then again, i went to the loaf to have breakfast not too long before lunch haha so we had no space for dessert. but their array of desserts sounded super interesting. there was an orange flourless cake which i would want to try, the milo dinosaur cake, the omg chocolate cake that yen was eye-ing, saving all these for the next time.
