So, what’s inside the red bean bag?
The Red Beanbag is a modern contemporary Australian-inspired café, located in a bright and beautiful corner overlooking the Piazza at Publika, Solaris Dutamas at the front, and with a spectacular view of the Royal Palace at the back. With so much to catch your attention, you could just sit and relax here all day with a Cuppa or an Iced Chocolate prepared by our passionate baristas
It is said that the cafe is run by four young Malaysians who received their educations in Australia wanting to bring in Australia cafe culture into our country.
For those who had been to Aussie, do make a guess on what’s their wifi password. Answer to be reveal at the end of the post.
* Oh-la-di Oh-la-da – Rm10
Soda with fresh cucumber juice & a touch of mint. A very refreshing thirst quencher. For maximum effect, consume it during a very hot day.
* Soup for the soul. Thick creamy soup of the day served with toasted bread. Their price for soup varies daily, depending on the soup itself and the soup for that day is onion soup. I was actually hoping for some pumpkin or asparagus soup. Onion soup is obviously NOT thick and creamy.
* RBB’s Specialty Baked Eggs – Rm17.90.
Baked eggs, oh how I miss. This is the dish that initially attracted me to The Red Beanbag and also the dish that reminds me of Melbourne.
Eggs cracked into a baking dish of lamb bratwurst, sundried tomatoes, potatoes, and cheese, baked to perfection and served with crusty bread.
This dish is fine, tasted good enough for you to take another bite.
However, good enough does not equals to great and sad to say that the baked eggs is not up to my expectation. It could be that my expectation is a tad too high after I’ve tried BirdMan Eating’s signature baked eggs in Melbourne. Their baked eggs are just…….
Maybe I shall do a post about it up next.
Don’t get me wrong, this dish is not bad. It’s just not as good.
* Beef me up Scotty – Rm19.90
Can be improve and not too worth the price. The taste of this is as normal as what I just wrote.
* Tenderly grilled beef fillet on toasted Ciabatta served with caramelized onions, rocket, and olive oil.
Nothing fancy.
* A rather relaxing cafe to catch up with some friends.
I guess I have been expecting too much lately whenever fatty and I decided to try something new.
And what I’ve tried so far did not surprise me, except for one which I will not reveal for the moment.
All these breakfast with poached eggs, baked eggs, hearty soups, sandwiches and just about anything you can name disappoint me somehow.
Not just Red Beanbag in particular, but most of the cafes I went to.
Red Beanbag’s food is indeed better than a lot of cafes out there but there are still so much room for improvement.
There’s two things you can come here for. Their coffee and their environment, especially on a Sunday noon.
That’ll be a perfect lazy Sunday.
Total bill for our lunch is about Rm70++.
Let’s just hope that Red Beanbag can improve in the near future and surprise me.
Oh! And the wifi password is Hookturn.
Some weird turn that’s available in Melbourne but not in Malaysia.
I cant explain further cause I’m a dummy in all these ……what do I called it?
