Best French Toasts in KL

Written by Updated ago

Contrary to it’s misleading name, the French Toast did not originate from France. In fact, this breakfast staple was not introduced until April, 2011, when the a famous internet meme was seen flying through the night sky with a piece of buttered toast on it’s back, singing ‘Nyan nyan nyan’ up to 100 times a minute. A hungry toast-lover in KL saw the video and craved for the buttered toast, but with only stale bread at hand, he dismayed. However, the ingenious man, Mr. French, persevered. He soaked the stale bread in milk and egg before cooking it, covering the stale bread taste and thusly created the French Toast.

    Tabletalk RestaurantPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    TableTalk provides a more modernized environment compared to the rest of the cafes we look at here. The orange chairs and round tabletops (with flowers on top) make it a comfortable place to hang around and chat with friends. Even more so considering the late closing hours! The French toast is not available throughout the day though, and will only be available until 5 p.m. French toast cut into cubes and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and punctuated with warm chocolate sauce. Mmmm…

    VCR's take on the french toast is definitely a step above the rest, with its luxurious choice of ingredients and decor. The toast is done perfectly, with enough egg and butter to feed a family of four in Africa, paired with berries compote, mocha sauce, a scoop of espresso ice cream, biscuit 'sand' and pumpkin seed. Just from the ingredients itself you'll know that it will taste absolutely amazing. A good balance of flavour, with the richness from the toast, sweetness from the ice cream, acidity from the compote and a slight bitter after-taste from the pumpkin seeds. Not forgetting the play of textures as well. Beautiful!

    The nice play on words for this Brunch outlet hints on what it serves. S. Wine, together, reads swine, meaning pig or well, ‘non-halal’. The eatery is decorated with pork décor and a drool-worthy aroma of sweet, sweet bacon. The French Toast with Grilled Bananas only sound healthy and will convince yourself that you’re keeping with your diet. However, this deliciously sinful dish is served with a combination of peanut butter and egg French toast doused with maple syrup and wrapped around a caramelize banana. To top it off, are several slices of crispy applewood smoked bacon that will no doubt leave you craving for seconds.

    The Red BeanbagPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    The interior of The Red Beanbag transports you to Australia, with the simple décor and a small opening where you can spy the chefs at work. There aren’t any bean bags though, so don’t be too excited about that. The quirkily named food items consist of breakfast food all day long. The classic French toast is served with almonds, seasonal fruits and maple syrup. The delicious toast is soft and served perfectly. However, the small (one piece bread) serving will no doubt leave you hungry for more.
    Tips

    Podgy & The Banker do not suffer from lack of space, as illustrated by the comfortably spaced seats. Large windows lets streams of sunlight into the café, leaving it brightly lit and comforting. Chocolate lovers will swoon at it’s take on the classic French toast. It’s sweet serving of Nutella & banana French Toast will blow you away with the reasonable price of RM10. The soft served French toast is smeared with a good helping of Nutella and topped with several slices of banana, something you could try and replicate at home yourselves (but don’t tell them we told you this!)!

    Bread and fruits sounds like a lovely and healthy combination that also yummy enough to convince even the unhealthiest of us to drop by and have a look. It serves, you guessed it, fruit juices, fresh fruits, salads and good breakfast and lunch food that is of course, inclusive of a good French toast. The Roasted Banana Bacon French Toast with Passion Wild Honey is priced at RM18.80 and looks, frankly, not very appetizing. Your opinion is bound to change following the first taste of this concoction. The cinnamon dusted caramelized banana, served with honey and passion fruit contrasts beautifully with the French toast and smoky bacon.

    For those of you who though there would be real living owls in Owls Cafe, you’ll be madly disappointed. However, they do have plenty of owl figurines and design to compensate that part of the sector. Beautifully designed in many ways and the attention to detail was truly remarkable. Aside from design their cafe, the dishes itself too were beautifully plated and decorated. Unlike the standard french toast which normally looks extremely boring, Owls Cafe’s version was spiced up a little. With additional ice cream, cream, pomegranate and oranges. Packed with flavour, texture and of course, it looks amazing!
