Somersby Brunch Club at Antipodean @ Menara Tan & Tan, KL

No Comments

I have heard quite many bloggers rave about this cafe Antipodean, and wanted to pay a visit at their Bangsar Branch, hunting parking around the area is a pain in da ass. After rounds of hunting we gave up. Then found out that Antipodean have another outlet in downtown KL which is at Menara Tan & Tan.

It was Sunday and head for the event for Somersby Brunch Club that taking place at this cafe. To my excitement I am keen to try the food there especially on their brunch.

With Bangsar Babe, Rif and Anna along for brunch.

Love the cafe ambiance here. A typical foreign cafe area that many love to hang out especially during summer if they have outdoor area. Definitely not applicable in Malaysia.

What to order? You can view on their giant chalkboard menu on the wall.

somersby (4)

Quite a huge chunk of deserts to hunt for.

Well, since they fall into the catagory of Shortlisted for best coffee in Time Out KL, wasnt the best I have tried so far. Still above average.

In Malaysia, if you drink alcohol for breakfast or lunch, many people will stare at you like you are from another planet or alien. Its just different culture we have here. For me, it doesnt matter as long as I have great friends around, alcohol drinking will starts to kick in. This would be my first time tasting this Somersby Apple Cider that had been rated as one of the favourite drink by a few girl friends of mine.

A drink that is all rounder, easy to drink with apple taste is pretty visible, slightly gassy and perfect that you can drink it at all day long.  For a 4.5% of alcohol, you wont feel it when you have down 1 bottle. The kick will only kicks in when you down at least 4-5 bottle. Then you will be starting to float around. 😀

Its a unique brunch whereby we have 2 great host in da house with Chelsia Ng and Jeremy Teo. Entertain us with their entertained with their humor and kitchen musical.

Below is the video of their kicthen musical performance. Apologize for my shaky hand on that day . . . 🙂

somersby (9)

It was a event open to public and patrons were giving samples of Somersby and special bottle price for that day.

somersby (12)

Love this Exotic Fruit Salad with Yoghurt, Honey and Mint. A simple fruit salad that pairs very well with the dressing and some cider. I find it more cider added in it taste much better, that still did not over power the sweet taste of honey. 😀

somersby (13)

Then we got ourselves for All Day Breakfast @ RM29.

somersby (14)

Then after sharing of one plate, we decided to order another plate with extra sausage. Scramble egg and bacon were decently prepare.

somersby (15)

Grilled Chicken with Tomatoes, Green Beans and Balsamic Vinegar @ RM28. Dressing of Balsamic vinegar, definitely stood out in taste along with fresh green beans, just that, the chicken breast find it slightly dry for me. Overall still good.

somersby (16)

Eggs Marlborough with Salmon. Salmon are pretty salty to my liking and luckily it was covered well with the runny yolks. Love the bread as its crips and eat along with the yolk is just something simple and nice.  RM32

somersby (17)

Kiwi Style Lamb Burger with brie and egg

somersby (18)

Lemon Meringue Pie & Chocolate Cake

Antipodean cafe definitely a big hit to many people, and pricing of the breakfast set surely will keep me away.

No Comments

Just all the lovebirds busy purchasing items for their love ones, I can see that in the mall, many people already pre celebrate the event early as it was Valentine’s Eve. To make it more interesting, Moët actually came out with their limited edition bottle and taste which is Moët Rosé Impérial for this special Valentine with its pink bottle and you can personalize it by writing any words you want for your love ones (click here) as they start selling from 8th February till 14th February to get this limited edition bottle.

The whole center concourse had turn into pinkish area to mark their special bottle and event and I was invited for their great launch and will be my first time drinking on pinky Moët.

This is how the bottle looks like with their lovely girls. . where right in the middle you can personalise your quote.

moet (4)

The week-long celebration of love for the champagne house saw fashionistas, celebrities, and socialites sipping flutes of Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial while a few dared to declare their love for each other through personalised Moët Rosé Impérial “Tag Your Love” bottles. Reflecting Moët & Chandon’s fun and flirty style, the iconic Moët Rosé Impérial certaiinly catch many of our attention and many of them went back by purchasing a bottle including myself. 😀

moet (5)

They are price in 2 different pricing as this is with the box cost RM 313 and without the box is RM 286 with the difference of RM30 that will be more suitable if you plan to add into your alcohol collection.

moet (6)

I just love the crown of the bottle as it is for display only. If not I certainly would love to have it for my bottle too.

moet (7)

It was a free flow Moët Rosé Impérial for all night long and many of them are already turn to red, no longer pinkish. 😀

moet (8)

The taste is nice as I have tried on their classic bottle where most happen to be in wedding or special occasions and this creates a flamboyant palate fuses intensity and roundness—fleshy and juicy at first, then firm (fruit stone), with a subtle herbal (mint) finish.

moet (9)

with a great singer singing nice soft music on the background certainly match the ambiance.

moet (10)

Many of us just enjoy our drink.
