Matcha Eight at Lalaport
In a previous post, we delved into some matcha in Lot 10: Matcha Hero.ย
Today, weโre going to jump not from hero to zero but from hero to eight.
Matcha Eight in Lalaport Bukit Bintang City Centre.
How to get to Matcha Eight
It is very convenient to get to Lalaport. Firstly, via public transport. Take the monorail, stop at the Hang Tuah station, and then walk down to the ground floor. Alternatively, ride the LRT on the Ampang or Sri Petaling lines and then get off at the Hang Tuah station. Then walk towards BBCC.
If youโre driving, there are multiple entrances to Lalaport’s basement parking. Thereโs one car park entrance along Jalan Huang Tuah and another along Jalan Pudu.
Matcha Eight
Matcha Eight is located on the ground floor of Lalaport. There is the air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned section of Lalaport. Where Matcha Eight is, is at the non-air-conditioned section: Gourmet Street.
Matcha Eight is a small outlet. Seating for dine-in is available just outside but itโs umbrella sheltered. Since itโs open air, if it rains then it can get uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Matcha Menu
It’s all things matcha.
You can choose your matcha to be in the form of beverage or dessert. Ice cream or cold brewed tea.
I was craving for some ice cream.
As of this post, there were only eight ice cream flavours to select from. Flavours are coolly called Lovesick Girl, Soul Mate, Maybe itโs Love, Matcha Me Tonight, Hocus Matcha-cus, Melodrama Queen, Hojilicious, and Ho Ho Hoji. Each flavour has different ranges of sencha, matcha, sweetness, and bitterness.
Different flavours have different prices. Prices ranged from the lowest at RM13.00 for like the Lovesick Girl, Soul Mate, and Maybe It’s Love to the highest at RM16.00 for the Hojilicious and Ho Ho Hoji.
It’s quite a complex mix of flavours but you do get to taste them, but up to 4 spoons! That says alot about the demand and curiosity for the ice creams.ย
Then once you’re done tasting, next is to select the base and the size. For the base, of course, the ice cream can be in a cup or cone. If you want your ice cream to be in a cone, then it’s an additional charge.
Then on to the size. If you want to eat your ice cream in a cone, then it’s a single-scoop ice cream only and no additional charges. However, if you want to eat your ice cream from a cup, then based on how many additional scoops, there’ll be additional charges on top. You can do a single, double, or triple scoop in a cup.
Finally, the last step. You can add toppings to give more texture and taste to your ice cream. For certain toppings in a cup, there’ll be additional charges.
So you’d like to bear in mind the additional charges when choosing your flavour, base, cup, and topping; as they can add on.
For me, it was so delicious, it was Hojilicious. I had a single scoop of hojilicious in a cup.

Top Big Breakfast Spots in Kuala Lumpur
Whenever we go for our family vacations outstation, I always look forward to the breakfast; before departing on our journey to wherever weโre headed to, like Malacca, Ipoh, or Penang. It was a family tradition to go to McDonalds for breakfast. And that meant the McDonaldโs Big Breakfast!
It is a hearty morning combo of scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, a freshly toasted English muffin and golden Hash Browns.
Then, when we eat at cafes and browse the menu, my eyes would skip the coffee, the tea, the pastas, and the sandwiches, and venture straight to one of the most expensive items on the menu: Big Breakfast.
I guess looking at the McDonaldโs big breakfast model, a typical big breakfast in a cafe would consist a combo of at least 1 meat, 1 egg dish, 1 vegetable, and 1 carbo dish.
But whatโs a big breakfast and in it?
A big breakfast typically consists of a hearty spread of foods such as eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes or waffles, along with sides like hash browns, fruit, and yogurt, providing a substantial and satisfying start to the day. According to ChatGPT.
Then a big breakfast typically cost around RM25 to RM30+.
So, today, weโll be exploring my top big breakfast spots in Kuala Lumpur and then travel down to Petaling Jaya. If youโre planning a big breakfast food trip, you can follow in this order.
Each cafe’s big breakfast prices are subject to change by the individual cafes and prices mentioned are as of this writing.
Bean Brothers
Click here to see Bean Brothers in Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.
Termed the Flexitarian, Bean Brotherโs big breakfast is on a whole other level. The Flexitarian priced at RM36, consists of a round bread, lettuce, grilled cherry tomatoes, bite-size sautรฉed mushrooms, fillet chicken in strips, scrambled egg, avocado, cheese slices, ham slices, and a small bowl of baked beans.
Why do I say itโs on a whole other level? It comes with an avocado, which is not a typical food in a big breakfast.
Bean Brotherโs big breakfast (Flexitarian) is priced at RM36.
Bray Bakery
Click here to see Bray Bakery in Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.
Bray Bakeryโs big breakfast is known as The Bakerโs Breakfast. Priced at RM29, it consists of eggs of your choice, mushrooms, cultiveat tomatoes, truffle miso arugula, pesto, and sourdough toast.
For this Bakerโs Breakfast, I had scrambled eggs. Despite the lack of the typical sausages, ham, and/or hashbrowns in a big breakfast; the Bakerโs Breakfast also felt filling.
Watermark Restaurant
Click here to see Watermark Restaurant in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.
Watermark Restaurantโs Big Breakfast, priced at RM26, consists of egg, chicken sausage, beef bacon, baked beans, grilled tomato, and hash brown.
While you can also have your choice of egg, you have an additional option in the choosing. You can choose from poached, scrambled, or fried egg. Here, I went with the (safe) scrambled egg. As you can see, it is quite a sizeable portion of scrambled egg, filling up about a quarter of the plate.
Then whatโs more unique is the sizes of the chicken sausage, beef bacon, and hash brown. Itโs not the usual big and long sausage, big slice of bacon or ham, and 1 piece of hash brown. In Watermarkโs Big Breakfast, they are in small and bite-size.
Bakery Cafe Hachi
Click here to see Bakery Cafe Hachi in 1 Mont Kiara in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.
Hachi Bakery Cafeโs big breakfast is an English Breakfast. It consists of baguette, baked beans, salad, tomato, sautรฉed mushrooms, scrambled egg, bacon, and chicken sausage. Years ago, it was priced at RM24.80.
While there was no hash brown, it was made up with the bacon.
The Daily Grind
Click here to see The Daily Grind in Bangsar Village in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur on Google Map.
The Daily Grindโs big breakfast is called TDG Big Breakfast (RM37). It consists of premium chicken sausages, beef bacon, eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and buttered toast.
Here, you canโt see the spinach and beef bacon, because itโs hidden under all the other food. Anyway, instead of hash browns and salad, thereโs beef bacon and spinach to go with. Then instead of scrambled eggs, itโs sunny side up egg; itโs still egg.
Touche Pastries & More
Click here to see Touche Pastries in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
Touche Pastries is The Big Bad Boy! At RM28.90, it consists of beef bacon, turkey ham, artisanal sausage, scrambled eggs, and toast.
Here, the toast is hidden under the scrambled egg.
Cafe Tujoh
Click here to see Cafe Tujoh in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
Cafe Tujohโs big breakfast or also known as Full Aussie, consists of scrambled eggs, smoked duck, mushroom, charred tomato, chicken chorizo, and toasted bread.
In a bit more detail, the vegetable is lettuce, the smoked duck is strips of smoke duck, the mushrooms are sautรฉed mushrooms, and the charred tomato has a melted cheese on it. What I like about Cafe Tujohโs Full Aussie, is that it has smoked duck, in addition to the chicken chorizo. Then, if I recall, the Full Aussie was priced at RM28.
Dough! Bakery & Cafe
Click here to see Dough in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
Doughโs big breakfast, termed as Doughโs Breakfast and priced at RM28, consists of 2 pieces of sunny side up, chicken bratwurst, roasted tomato, sautรฉed mushrooms, potato gratin, mixed salad, and classic sourdough bread.
Whatโs unique about Doughโs big breakfast is that instead of serving hashbrown, it is replaced with potato gratin.
Potato gratin, also known as gratin dauphinois, is a classic French dish made with thinly sliced potatoes layered in a baking dish, typically with cream, butter, garlic, and sometimes cheese. The dish is baked until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and crispy. It’s a rich and indulgent side dish often served alongside roasts or as part of a holiday meal.
Strangers at 47
Click here to see Strangers at 47 in Section 17, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
Strangers at 47โs big breakfast is Big Breakfast Crepe BBC and itโs priced at RM30. It consists of wholemeal crepe, herb chicken sausage, chicken ham, sautรฉed mushrooms and spinach, hash brown, baked beans, caramelised onions, eggs your way (sunny or scrambled).
Hereโs a different big breakfast, instead of serving the typical (sourdough) bread and (maybe) lettuce. Strangerโs at 47โs big breakfast changes things up with wholemeal crepe and sautรฉed spinach.
If youโre looking for a not so heavy big breakfast because of the sourdough bread, you can consider the wholemeal crepe in Strangers at 47โs Big Breakfast Crepe BBC.
Asa Cafe
Click here to see Asa Cafe in Taman Paramount, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
As per Asa Paramountโs menu, their big breakfast, priced at RM35, consists of real chicken sausage, sautรฉed mushroom, sourdough, tomato, greens, scrambled egg, and hashbrown.
I must reiterate that they served a nicely cut up sourdough bread. Unlike some cafes, a sourdough or 2 is served as a whole slice. The mushrooms are not small but fat, long, and juicy. The tomato was a grilled, half-tomato. The yellow protein was a flat piece of scrambled egg. If you canโt see and find the โreal chicken sausageโ, itโs hidden under the sautรฉed mushrooms. Unlike some cafeโs sausages where the sausage tend to be fat, thick, and long, Asaโs sausage is of a decent size.
My Gracious Kitchen
Click here to see My Gracious in SS2, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
My Gracious Kitchenโs big breakfast is Mama Breakfast. Priced at RM25.90, it consists of herb sausage, baked beans, hash brown, egg, toast, chicken pepperoni, baked tomatoes, and vegetables.
Itโs little bit simpler, yet with a touch distinction as well. Instead of sourdough, it is toast bread. The egg is the default sunny side up. Youโre not given the choice of choosing your egg. Here, youโre not given 1 hash brown only, but 2 hash browns. Then, instead of ham or bacon, it is chicken pepperoni.
Annie Day Coffee
Click here to see Annie Day Coffee in SS2, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
Annie Dayโs big breakfast is a Supreme Breakfast. At RM28, it consists of chicken sausage, beef bacon, chicken ham, hashbrown, two eggs, baked beans, side salad, sourdough bread, and butter and jam.
While the Supreme Breakfast has all the trappings of big breakfast, it goes a little out of the way to include butter and jam, so that you can enjoy your sourdough bread with some sweetness.
Milligram – Coffee & Eatery
Click here to see Milligram in SS26 Taman Mayang Jaya, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
Milligramโs big breakfast is Kilogram Brekkie. At RM29, it consists of button mushrooms, pork sausage, pork bacons, scrambled eggs, milk bread, baked beans, hash-brown, and salad.
Here, instead of sourdough bread, weโve milk bread for a change. The hash-brown is a small round piece of hash-brown. Everything else is standard as you would expect in a big breakfast.
Kheng Wah Restaurant
Kheng Wahโs big breakfast is USA Breakfast. At RM18.90, it consists of luncheon meat, Taiwan sausage, French toast, french fries, fried eggs, baked beans, and assorted beans.
Kheng Wahโs big breakfast is a fusion kinda big breakfast. The meat is unique and different, in that itโs Taiwan sausage and luncheon meat. Itโs not the typical ham, bacon, or chicken sausage. The bread is French toast and not sourdough bread or baguette and not even normal toast bread. The vegetables is frozen vegetables with some cherry tomatoes. Lastly, whatโs cool is that it has french fries!
Twenty Fourty Six
Click here to see Twenty Forty Six cafe in SS23 Taman SEA, Petaling Jaya on Google Map.
2046โs big breakfast (literally termed Big Breakfast on the menu) priced at RM32, consists of chicken ham, scrambled egg, lettuce, grilled tomato, mixed mushroom, hashbrown, potatoes, and sourdough bread.

Grand Imperial Dim Sum in Bangsar Shopping Centre
A few of my friends and I wanted to experience the “grander” side of (an imperial) Chinese restaurant (cue the Star Wars’ emperor marching music in the background), so we had lunch at Grand Imperial Restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Centre, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. It was not only a fine experience but also a different one, as it was dim sum for lunch, not breakfast.
How to get there
๐ T5, Bangsar Shopping Centre, 285, Jalan Maarof, 59000 Kuala Lumpur
If youโre taking the train and riding on the MRT – stop at Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT. Then walk 650 meters up Jalan Maarof to Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC).

Then in the mall, take the lift or escalator up to the 3rd floor on the newer section of BSC.

The restaurant itself is very spacious, so you do not feel congested or in a very closed up environment.
Dim Sum for Lunch
From the dim sum menu, we had deep-fried prawn dumplings, deep-fried beancurd roll with prawns, deep-fried yam puff, radish cake, cheong fun with BBQ meat, baked egg tart, siew mai, mango pudding, and a few more dim sums.

Beggar’s Chicken at New Heong Kee Restaurant in Ampang Jaya
Instead of the usual, popular restaurants for dinner in town; why not something different and out of town?
From Petaling Jaya, we travelled out to Ampang Jaya. There, we had Beggarโs Chicken for dinner at New Heong Kee Restaurant.
How to get there
Driving along Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2 (main road), itโs just after the Petronas petrol station.
The restaurant is not in a shop lot but in a housing lot along the main road. There are 2 gates. The first gate is the entrance to more space at the back to park your car. The 2nd gate is the the main entrance to the parking space in front and to the restaurant. Nevertheless, both gates are on common ground and lead to the restaurant.
However, take note that parking is very limited with space for approximately less than 15 cars.
New Heong Kee Restaurant
You need to call, make advance booking, and pre-order your food.
Back to the restaurant, it has open-air seating. Mind you, it’s a non-airconditioned restaurant.
You can see how the Beggarโs Chicken is being cooked. Under a shack at the backyard, you can see the chicken cooked the traditional way.
Beggarโs Chicken. The chicken has to be ordered as it takes several hours to cook. The meat was soft, tender, succulent and moist at the same time.
Below are some other dishes we ordered to go with the Beggar’s Chicken for dinner.
Beggarโs Duck. The duck was drenched in soy sauce, thereby giving it the additional flavour. As for the meat, it was soft and very tender. You don’t need a knife to even slice and cut the meat.
Beggarโs Pork Trotter. There was a good layer of chewy fat and good meat.
Boneless Fish, Country Fish, or as someone called it – Zombie Fish. Even though it’s fish, but it tasted like and had the texture of fish cake.
Vegetables.
