Roti Bean Cafe

Now Closed

I had Egg Benedict with Smoked Turkey Ham. Despite I have no complaints for the Egg, but the extra Yogurt and Lemon Juice appeared to be over-powering. I thought the use of Roti Bengali was somehow inappropriate either, I prefer Sour-dough. continue reading

it was a public holiday Tuesday and unfortunately, I had to go to lab, you know the OTs before flying away (to Shanghai!). so to make working on a public holiday sounded pleasant, I ajak-ed Chuah for a brekkie (breakfast in my lingo) date, before heading to lab together.they don’t have a signage in front of the shop, but you know it’s the right café when you see colorful bikes parking neatly in front. Roti Bean is a quaint café manned by Andy and friends who are all berry friendly and chatty blokes!I was quite taken aback how small and cozy Roti Bean is. their main seating is located at 1st floor. there’s only like 5 tables, if I’m not mistaken.it didn’t took us long to decide what to order as their menu is pretty limited. not muchy variant available.one feature that I didn’t like in the café is, the steep stairs. not elderly-friendly at all. I was wearing socks that day, so it’s kinda slippery and I had to hold the side wall for support, in order not to 仆街 wtf. oh girls in mini skirt might have to be extra careful too ya.quirky bikes for rent! they have couple bikes, trio bikes and even a pseudo trishaw which you can place the baby at the yellow compartment LOL.Soya Milk | RM 3; Signature Soya Milk | RM 4 {recommended}soya milk is the only beverage you’ll find on Roti Bean’s menu, no coffee no chocolate no milo whatsoever. this can be a disadvantage since many needs their coffee fix every morning.anyway,soya milk is made house daily. certified fresh! I like Signature Soya Milk more, addition of Horlick makes it thicker and more fragrant. the sweetness is just right, to my liking! I cannot tolerate cloying beverage/dessert.Egg Benedict with Smoked Salmon | RM 11 {recommended}halved toasted bun topped with smoked salmon, poached egg, drizzled with Hollandaise sauce and sprinkled with dried herbs.the salmon is nicely smoldered, according to Chuah! I had a bite and seconded the statement. Hollandaise sauce is a lil’ too sourish which I didn’t expect. okay it’s my first time tasted this yellowish sauce *facepalm*. I know I know how could I huh? told you, brekkie place in Penang is meagre!and then I excitedly commanded Chuah to slice across the yolk, I was all ready to get yolk-gasm.. manatau..YOLK Y U NO RUNNYkinda disappointed with the overcooked yolk .Egg Benedict with Smoked Turkey Bacon | RM 10 {recommended}mine! similar to Chuah, I had an open-sandwich. lettuce, two pieces of smoked turkey bacon, poached egg layered on one another on a white bread slathered with butter. it was okay-ish. i wish they serve some sides though as the portion is kinda small. no runny yolk as well, but overall I enjoyed it.it has been awhile since I had a proper brekkie liddis! usually I’ll just have a, cuppa oat before heading to lab. so yeah, I enjoyed the food and the company. oh also, the hospitable staffs. I loved how Andy greeted us GOOD MORNING! cheerfully upon entering the premise. that woke me up instantly!and so we left with satisfying smiles on our faces.Roti Bean serves decent brekkie at proper breakfast hours. do take note that although Roti Bean opens from time 0900 – 1700, the kitchen closes after 1400. so be early ya! continue reading
