#30 Antipodean Cafe (Tan & Tan)

I visited Antipodean Cafe on two breakfast occasions: a merry family gathering and a date. Seasons might come and go, but one thing stays the same for this local breakfast culture pioneer - the crowd.

Perhaps this would come as a slight disadvantage for the short-sighted: the entire menu was written on the wall ala blackboard.

Occasion #1: Family gathering

We skipped coffee instead to sample a taste of the cafe's signature breakfast...

Eggs Malborough with Salmon (RM 23)

Big Breakfast (RM 20)

For a hefty price tag, the Big Breakfast plate is divided into 5 items: toast, mushrooms, scramble egg, hash brown and a meat side of your choice, such as bacon, chicken, beef or pork sausage.

The scramble egg and mushrooms were pretty good, but that's 'bout it.

All Day Breakfast (RM 20)

Similarly priced with the former dish, All Day Breakfast traded in mushrooms and has brown instead for baked beans and grilled tomatoes.

French Toast with Bacon & Maple Syrup (RM 18)

Lastly, French Toast with Bacon & Maple Syrup is definitely not worth the price considering the very basic nature of the dish itself. The portion is definitely overpriced.

While some items were irregularly priced, it's pretty safe (and a smart move too..) to stick to the popular choice here.

Occasion #2: Breakfast date

Two Big Breakfast for two famished souls. And a great chat went all the way into noon.
