Launching a new brunch outlet in Bangsar is riskier than it sounds; folks flock here for big breakfasts on weekends, but the few restaurants that truly thrive require the combination of (in no particular order) buzz-worthy food, a compelling concept & a dynamite setting.
It's unclear whether Luscious, which replaced Belgian establishment Brux-Ale this month, has the right stuff or the X Factor to flourish (it might not be flashy enough), though its food achieves the 'good enough' mark. Tastes competently executed; no complaints.
We went hog-wild, ignoring the beef salami & turkey & chicken ham, opting instead for pork bacon & pork ham, plus a pork sausage, all of which proved plenty juicy.
Eggs can come poached, hard/half boiled, scrambled or turned into omelets or sunny-side-ups. Perfect for people who want the decision firmly in their own hands.
Luscious also serves 'omelet pizzas' with an entirely eggy base, a potential hit among carb-avoiding patrons. Possible toppings: pepperoni, lamb sausage, capsicum, olives or blue cheese.
Bread here is partnered with Luscious' house-made organic strawberry jam.
The plate comes with either Earl Grey or English Breakfast tea, or juice. It's worth noting that service at Luscious is earnest & attentive.
Hazelnut latte (RM14.90++). Coffee's not half-bad, but we're looking forward to the time when wine will be available, likely starting later this month.
