Ever since I've stepped off the plane and onto Malaysian soil I've been craving eggs benedict (and no, Malaysia Airlines will serve you 4 courses of satay, nasi lemak, fruit, and cake but not eggs benny). A quick Google search for 'best eggs benedict in Kuala Lumpur' yielded numerous praise from foodie blogs and websites alike for The Red Beanbag in Publika, of which I am the only person in K.L who hasn't yet been, so off I go...
I went with Michiekins on Thursday and we climbed half a flight of stairs (which is more than I would ever climb in K.L) up to the mezzanine where TRB is located only to be rewarded by apologetic waiters telling us there was a problem with the kitchen and we'd do better to come back next day. As I left, dejected, Michiekins decided to tell me that every time she's been to TRB she never gets a seat (it gets that busy) and has 'no luck' with TRB. So I blame her for the kitchen not working.
Unperturbed, we returned yesterday and were happily greeted by a chattering lunch crowd and at least two staff who said 'Welcome back!' and 'Back for the eggs benedict?', heck yes we are.
I can't believe I've never been to TRB before, I know I only spend two to four months a year in Kuala Lumpur but still.
The moment of truth!
Verdict?
To be honest I wolfed everything down so quickly that I didn't get a chance to properly taste it. After all it was lunch time and I woke up at midday, ravished.
But I will come back for the eggs benedict with salmon, it looked mad delicious.
Outfit of the day time.
I woke up at midday when Michiekins called me, and was so disoriented that I got dressed in whatever was lying on my bedroom floor. That would be pyjama pants, paint-splattered Charles & Keith sandals from seasons ago, Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton Neverfull, and my new houndstooth top from On A Cloudy Day.
Xiao di di Arran doing casual with his new Birkin. We're going to dress up as mermaids and sing Part Of Your World in his handbag closet. I want moooooore!
Eggs benedict round 2 at The Red Beanbag, anyone?
