Cracking open this week, this shining-shimmering cafe's a splendid sight for sore eyes, a dazzling place that Bangsar's brunch-hunters can now come to know. The ideal introduction to Nutmeg is its egg-explosive, early-bird selection, offered through the afternoon. Taking us wonder by wonder, we start with this simple but satisfying fried egg, the magic carpet over a mound of sauteed potatoes, salt beef hash & red peppers (RM16+).Don't resist the 'croissant-wich' (RM26+), spilling over with house
Cracking open this week, this shining-shimmering cafe's a splendid sight for sore eyes, a dazzling place that Bangsar's brunch-hunters can now come to know.
The ideal introduction to Nutmeg is its egg-explosive, early-bird selection, offered through the afternoon. Taking us wonder by wonder, we start with this simple but satisfying fried egg, the magic carpet over a mound of sauteed potatoes, salt beef hash & red peppers (RM16+).
Don't resist the 'croissant-wich' (RM26+), spilling over with house-cured salmon & the creamiest scrambled eggs. Nutmeg's fare feels touched by homemade, honest virtues, likely since William has spent more time cooking for his family & friends than for restaurants.
Hold your breath, it gets better: Spinach frittata (RM18+) stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, onions & a stinky-special surprise unmentioned on the menu: blue cheese.
Nutmeg might be a no-pork eatery, leaving its Eggs Benedict (RM26+) bereft of bacon, but instead of banking on typical substitutes, Nutmeg's kitchen genies conjure thick, tender slices of salt beef, marinated with what might be nutmeg mace (or were we only dreaming?).
Three-egg omelet, tinged over, sideways & under with truffle-scented mushrooms (RM15+).
Baked eggs with tomato compote & brioche (RM18+). With no one to tell us no, this meal might pursue new horizons of cholesterol. We'll chase our albumin anywhere.
Bagel & Lox (RM21), Nutmeg's own-baked toasted bread with briny-slick salmon, cream cheese, capers & onions (plus a request of scrambled eggs on the side).
