Well well, Antipodean is actually one of the first cafes that I've ever tried for brunch.

It left me with such a big impact, that it was the reason of starting to cafe hop everywhere I go.

The first ever that I went to was the Antipodean in Bangsar.

It was so filled with people that we had to wait 10 minutes to get our seats.

*actually it wasn't too bad la*

But I was so amazed by their service, I went back to Bangsar for it again.

Had another at Menara Tan and Tan as well.

So basically, I've been to all the Antipodeans heh.

What's so good is that they are pet friendly at Bangsar!

You can bring your pets along, they would provide water for them to drink!

Hope they would actually open one in Ipoh, or Kampar, better!

Didn't really took a lot of pictures that day, wasn't feeling too well of hearing the flood situation back in my hometown,

and it was the day that the AirAsia plane went missing.

Was feeling very bumped out that day.

First time in history, that food couldn't comfort me.

As you can see, their menu is on a big blackboard.

They don't have menus on paper for you so you can just quickly glance whatever it is on the board and decide.

There are more than 20 types of breakfast you can choose from so do choose wisely!

Everything is just so good!

*speaking from a person who just had to go to every branch they have* 

All Day Breakfast - RM 20.00

A slice of Wheat bread, Baked beans, Scramble eggs, Huge tomatoes and not forgetting Bacon.

The tomatoes are so juicy!!! Mouth-watering seriously.

Everyone gets confused with the All Day Breakfast and Big Breakfast.

Well the difference is that in All Day Breakfast, they serve tomatoes and baked beans.

As for Big Breakfast, they serve sauteed Mushrooms and hashbrown.

You can either choose bacon or sausage for both plates.

For sausages, there is chicken, beef or pork that you can choose from.

Croissant Scramble Eggs with Bacon - RM 19.00

Fresh baked croissant at the bottom, Arugula vegetables in between with Scramble eggs on top, finishing with Bacon at the peak.

This is one breakfast I'd die for.

I have never had such amazing croissant in my life.

Not trying to exaggerate but yea, it is THAT GOOD.

Big Breakfast - RM 20.00

A slice of Wheat bread, a cube of Hashbrown, Sauteed Mushrooms, Scramble eggs and with Chicken sausage.

The mushroom is really what I love most.

I usually had a phobia of mushrooms, cause of eating too much when I was little.

But this, made me wanting back for more, made me realize how much I love mushrooms when I was little.

They sauteed it in the best way that is possible.

No other cafes I have found could top off that mushroom.

Eggs Marlborough with Salmon - RM 23.00

Two slices of Wheat bread, Salmon, Poached egg with Hollandaise sauce, salad by the side.

That salmon is mmm mmmm!

Of course not forgetting the poached egg that was poached so beautifully.

Don't you just wanna poke by looking at it?

Banana Pancake with Butterscotch - RM 16.00

Fluffy pancakes with banana inside, filling it with the aromatic smell, slices of banana and fruit salad by the side.

The butterscotch sauce is amazing!

Couldn't have enough of it.

But I would still prefer the sauteed mushrooms over pancakes anytime.

Too fluffy for me.

An overview.

Face wasn't looking too good that day.

It's just horrible.

Well anyway, promising cafe as usual.

The queue is exactly the same in Bangsar.

You need to wait but I would love Bangsar's environment more than Midvalley.

If only I could bring the chef back home and cook Big Breakfast for me everyday, I would be so happy heh.

A total spending of RM 136.90 including service charge and government tax.

The yam is fried but its soft on the inside.

The sweet and sour chicken inside is crunchy and the taste of sweet and sour is well balanced.

What else can be said about vegetables?

They looked so green!

Bringing a crunch to your mouth.

马来栈鸡 / Belacan Chicken - RM 15

Not like any other ordinary fried chicken

It brings a little heat because of the belacan.

葱油豆腐 / Onion Oil Bean Curd - RM 10

Silky smooth bean curd, it doesn't taste salty because of the amount of sauce that you see,

but it tasted just nice, smooth to perfection.

泰式鱼 / Thai Style Fish - RM 36

Cut into half and lay it flat to be fried, this thai style fish is something else!

Crunchy and giving a sweet and spicy taste from the sauce, it is one of their specialty!

Looked like any other normal restaurant, but they can really cook!

One of my ex-church member from my hometown church dine here very often,

and he brought us over and the food is delightful!

Total spending of RM 120.60, including rice and tea for all.

Located in Publika, the owner's dad is actually from my hometown!

Such a small world ehh.

Their design gives me a milky kinda feeling.

An ice cream parlor and cafe, this cafe is packed with people.

Even Jinnyboy went there to have a few bites himself.

The ambiance is really cozy and relaxed.

The stripes on the wall made the whole room glow.

The light up ice cream on the wall is so cute kan?

They even have crossword of their flavours of gelato on the wall.

So cool!

MENU time!!!

You can have a try of their gelato first if you are indecisive or wanting to try which flavor that you would like.

Coconut + Gula Melaka

You can definitely taste both coconut and gula melaka at the same time.

The taste is harmonious, it doesnt fight but it blends well together.

Salted Caramel + Rum and Raisins + Waffle

Salted Caramel is delicious! Salty yet sweet at the same time.

Rum and Raisins definitely have a strong alcohol taste, therefore it is written when you wanna order it but it is definitely to try.

The waffle, my goodness, has a crispy and crunchy texture that breaks easily into your mouth.

It is definitely a cafe to try out.

The gelato and waffle is really really good!

Would definitely come back and try their Strawberry Balsamic, had a small taste and it is damn good.
