BreadFruits – Brunch

Brunch culture is currently booming in Malaysia. We tend to have nice breakfast during the weekends after a hectic week. Ever so frequently now, a new cafe is opened which serves brunch. It’s difficult to stand out from the mushrooming numbers of cafe unless it provides something different. One cafe that surely stands out from the crowd for me is BreadFruits.

I’ve heard about BreadFruits from social media. The thing that caught my eye with this cafe is the usage of fresh and natural ingredients in their food and drinks. In Melbourne, ingredients used are fresh and of good quality as it is easily obtained. However, in Malaysia, it’s hard to find fresh produce. If it is, it would be expensive.

I’ve visited BreadFruits three times since then and it has not failed me.

Simple, relaxed interior.

Upon entering the cafe, there is an area catered to selling fruits. Fruits can be bought and cut upon request to be eaten in the cafe. So you are sure to get a balanced diet here!

Healthy, delicious brunch items.

I have tried the bacon guacamole BLT with egg, carbonara with 7-minute egg, french toast with bacon and bananas, coffee and juices from my few visits here. Coffee and juices here are good. Natural pure honey is used in most drinks as a sweetener instead of sugar.

You know that feeling when you leave a restaurant feeling thirsty because of the amount of salt or MSG in the food consumed? Well, you will not get that here! So move along and make a visit to BreadFruits.

Yakiniku Yazawa – Japanese BBQ

The First Post.

Being a big fan of Japanese food, it is only right to kick-start this blog on a right note by blogging about what I would consider, the best Japanese BBQ I have been to yet between Malaysia and Singapore. Yes, this restaurant is located in our neighbouring country, Singapore! *Singapore 1, Malaysia 0*

Prior to visiting Singapore in January earlier this year, a friend of mine who is a foodie set off a reminder to me to visit Yakiniku Yazawa.  Little did I know how much the taste of beef at this restaurant will linger with me for a long time till now.

Marbled Japanese wagyu cuts.

This restaurant only serve Japanese/ Australian wagyu beef, pork and chicken for BBQ meats. As we were there for only one reason, we ordered Japanese wagyu beef only. We tried the Superior Cut Beef Tongue (SGD28), Kalbi (SGD32), Cube Cuts (SGD38) and Outside Skirt (SGD25). Mind you, the plates you see above are portions of two each. This meal will set you back at about SGD80/ RM200 per person.

From the presentation of raw beef on our table, we were amazed at the marbling, colour and freshness of the beef served. Service is great here! Staffs were attentive to our needs. All beef cuts only require a few seconds on each side and it is ready to be eaten. Be AMAZED the moment your taste buds get into contact with the beef.

Seconds is all it needs for perfection.

One great thing about this restaurant is the exhaust vacuums at the side of the BBQ grill which works magic! We left the restaurant without smelling like we had Japanese BBQ for dinner.

So head down south to Singapore and enjoy the splendid beef offerings Yakiniku Yazawa has to offer. You will thank me for it.
