Marmalade, Bangsar Village II
From the enchanting, mysterious darkness of Chynna, we move on to illumination. This is Marmalade at Bangsar Village II. A cheerful brightness greeted us as we entered Marmalade for our Sunday brunch after doing my weekly grocery shopping at The Village Grocer. A whole side of the cafe is panelled from floor to ceiling with glass windows allowing Malaysia's pride, sunny skies, to show off its hues of blue, white and yellow. The walls, floors and furnishings are bathed in warm sunlight. This is the place to go for a lift of spirits.
The Bald Eagle and I opted for the brunch menu. He wanted a hearty breakfast, as all real men do so that they can show off their eating abilities and flex their muscles at the same time. How do they flex their muscles, you ask? Have you seen how they slice their sausage (no pun intended), sleeves rolled up, with biceps and triceps bulging? Or how the squareness of their jaws move as they chew their bacon slowly with a "come hither" look?
Hehehe.
Anyway, this is his Brekkie set. Hearty and satisfying.
I, on the other hand, have a liking for corn bread, so I ordered the Corn bread set. The meal came in the form of a sandwich with slices of bacon (beef bacon?) in between the bread and an egg on top. The bread, served hot, was rich in taste and fluffy in texture, with whole corn kernels visible in the bread, and I must say that this is the best corn bread I have ever tasted. I didn't care much for the baked beans (which seems to be the norm, and which I find quite unimaginative, whenever one asks for an english breakfast), but what I absolutely loved was the avocado salad on the side. The diced avocado had been tossed in freshly squeezed ginger juice, butter and a sprinkling of ground pepper to create a sweet, tangy flavour that was just so refreshing.
Brunch sets, which come with coffee, tea or juice, are priced at approximately RM20.

yummmmmm yummy!!!! like da food at this place... feel so healthy! :D
Finally, somewhere on your site I've been to before! :D But not for breakfast! I love how bright and breezy their cafe looks. Very cheery and a loungey sort of place. I didn't know they did corn cakes! Must try *adds to every-growing list*
We had lunch here on Easter Sunday (saw lots of bunnies at BVillage) and it was so good. Now I regret not taking any pixs! Somehow the food looks so much better here compared to the Mt Kiara outlet. Portions are really substantial. We ordered a salad to share and it was so big we had to tapau it home.
I like your plate of cornbread, especially avocado salad. Am big fan of avocado, i used to just cut it into half, pour some mayo and soya sauce in the middle and scoop with teaspoon. Fattening isn't it? Yum yum...i will visit Marmalade this weekend!!! MUST MUST MUST!!
Breakfast? For me, it will do as brunch!
meiyen: I love the food here too. Next on my list is the carrot cake.
pink elle: lol. yeah, the decor is just so cheerful and I understand why parents like to bring their kids here.
boo: can't finish ur salad? tsk tsk.
precious pea: this dish converted me into an avocado fan. hehe. Enjoy your meal there!
tummythoz: yeah, the meal is quite substantial. I was eyeing the carrot cake and telling The Bald Eagle that I just HAVE to eat it. Unfortunately, I didn't have enuf space in my tummy wor. Sigh.
So cheap! By S'pore and US std, for sure! Both sets look hearty and delicious, and healthy too :D

Once again, I'm more in awe of your photos than the food. Good job!

wmw: we could be twins man.
sc: ya lor...the cakes look soooo yummy. But no place in stomach wor. Next time next time.
meiyen: next time I call u lor. What's ur number ar? (See, I'm serious)
tankiasu: once again, dunno if that's a compliment. :-P Wei, I didn't do any camera tricks la. That's real food man. And damn delicious. Go and try and u will thank me.
Hey ... didn't I just read a review on Marmalade somewhere just now. Oh .. it's in Masak-masak. Why.. u all visited the place together-gather issit ?
Anyway, I must praise you for your effort on the shots. Good stuff you got there. Is it because there's competition ..?? hehe.
tim ar, this Marmalade is in Bangsar Village II, that Marmalade is in Singapore lar. And by saying competition, were u referring to yourself? hehehe. U're way better than me lar (after all, I beginner wat), so I gracefully concede defeat. :-)
Hey, I'm an avocado fans too! The set looks simple but I'm sure it's satisfying. Speaking about baked beans, I like them with some BBQ sauce.
HOLY BREAKFAST!!!! :) I wan me some corn bread and avocado!! Nice plates too. Will definitely try this place out.
jason: cool! do try this and tell me what you think. that is, when u come to KL la. Baked beans with BBQ sauce is nice.
honey star: actually, I want to eat it again too. yeah, the plates are very pretty. so's the decor.
how come i didnt c that corn bread there b4??...now must go again..i luv their salads..the stew is also very homey..the burger experience was so so..any preference over the hartamas outlet over the bangsar 1?
Uhh....aren't we???? LOL...
wow.... looks good!
SWICC: haven't been to the Kiara outlet, but from what i hear, the Bangsar one seems to be a li'l better. Look for the corn bread set under the Brunch menu.
wmw: yup, we are. I'm the fairer one. heehee.
kay: go try! tastes as good as it looks.
*growwllll* stomach growling for a hearty breakfast. Only managed to savour such huge serving of brekkie during vacation, u noe the complimentary breakkie in hotel.
xiu long bao: wah, u're so controlled one ah? You will love the brunch menu at Marmalade.
Ahem... I will try it *determined*
