I guess this is my first time writing a food review just hours after trying it out. I wrote plenty of reviews but mostly were written a few weeks later. I'd better write it while the taste and opinions are still fresh in my mind! This time, we paid a visit to the newly opened cafe spot in town, Yellow Brick Road! It's located in Damansara area, but I'm not familiar with that area so we had to rely on my trusty Simon the Waze to get there.
We watched Avengers before heading for a late lunch and teatime at YBR. There's a pancake place by YBR upstairs, but the opening date is yet to be confirmed. I asked the waiter and he said that it is expected to be opened next week.
Read on for my complete food review! Images taken by my Canon 550D with EFS 18-135mm :)
Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored/paid review.
Yellow Brick Road, located at Taman Batai. YBR adopts a clean, contemporary design.
Plenty of seats outside too if you'd prefer. It was scorching hot outside :p
Spacious interior, it's not like Antipodean where you'd be seated very close to the other table.
Truffle fries, RM 16.
Topped with cheese shavings, and served with cheese sauce. Huge portion, pretty crispy.
Verdict: Very large portion, pretty crispy.We found it a little too salty to our liking. Was it supposed to be that salty? I'd prefer it to be lightly salted of course. We had to poke few holes in the bottom of the oil paper to shake off the salt! Lol
Long black and hot mocha. Around RM 10 - RM13.
Apparently, Adrienne found out that the first Malaysian barista to compete in the World Barista Championship was present in the shop at that time! Not sure if our coffee was prepared by him thou.
Verdict: Regardless of it, I enjoyed the hot mocha. Some cafes prepare a higher ratio of chocolate than coffee in the mocha, but I feel that this one has a stronger coffee taste ♥ Haha then again, I'm only a 'social' coffee drinker, not a frequent drinker so I might not be able to tell the difference between a good coffee and excellent coffee.
How are we ever going finish it, girls?
Haha we couldn't finish it anyway, it got really salty at the end...
♥♥♥
Big breakfast, RM30.
No kidding when they said it's big breakfast. We shared it among us four, almost couldn't stomach it all too!
Verdict: Big breakfast consisted of beef/bacon ham, chicken/beef sausages, scrambled/poached/fried egg, grilled cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, hash brown and baked beans. I loved the baked beans because it wasn't those canned type, it was actual baked beans made from scratch. Scrambled eggs has the perfect consistency and softness that I like, and the taste is not too bland. No complains on this :)
Verdict: Portion isn't huge, but I guess the fillingness of heavy cream cheese makes up for the medium portion. A few bites and you'll feel full already. It tastes rather milky than the usual Mac n Cheese available in other restaurants. I love cheese, so it's fine with me. It reminded me of Chesedale milk cheddar slices :D
It was more empty and quiet by 5pm, just an hour before closing :)
Location:
Yellow Brick Road, Jalan Batai, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur.
Opening hours:
Daily 9am to 6pm (as of now, subject to changes). Follow them @yellowbrickroadcafe on Instagram.
The only thing I didn't like was the parking rates at that area! You have no choice but the enter the parking in order to go to YBR, we sat for more than 2 hours and the parking ticket costs us RM6.50. A little too pricey for outdoor parking, and besides there weren't many tenants at that shop lot yet.
Our bill came up to RM122 (including 10% service charge) with three dishes and four coffee drinks.
Overall, I love the interior design, ambience and attentive service by the staffs. They've incorporated a lot of wood in their interior and I have a weak spot for wood and earthy coloured furnitures hehe.. Would like to revisit here, probably will try their Impasta (previously named char siew pasta) and Balik Kampung (Percik chicken with turmeric rice). I would like to come again on a weekend, but this place seems to be the current hype amongst cafe hoppers, so might not be able to secure a good seat on weekends. We went on a weekday at teatime, so there were seats to choose from :)
