Stroll down Jalan Bukit Bintang and you’ll come upon Connoisseurs Café. Set within the bustling walkway that connects Pavilion KL, Starhill Gallery and Fahrenheit 88; it’s one of the best place to people- watch while enjoying your drinks. With an interior that gives off the urban metropolitan chic vibe with its high ceiling and glass panelling that beautifully captures the great view of Jalan Bukit Bintang; this is definitely a cafe that one can’t missed.
Apart from their ala-carte menu; they also have daily breakfast and lunch sets at an affordable price ranging from RM17 – RM25 inclusive of a drink. Be prepared to be surprised as the set lunch menu changes every week. We ordered some drinks to refresh ourselves whilst waiting for food to be served.
For Coffee Flat White, they’re using Moloko beans from Mexico with has a tinge of fruity notes.
Although we’re having luncheon, we decided to try their Summer Lounge Drinks as well. We ordered the Fizzy Ginger Lime Tea (non-alcoholic) and Mojito (Alcoholic). These drinks are best enjoyed sitting at the al-fresco area. To enjoy our Summer Lounge Drinks, we had Ebi Tempura and Smoked Salmon Bruschetta. Ebi Tempura’s battered is fluffy with juice fresh prawns fillings. The Smoked Salmon bruschetta with flavoursome mozzarella cheese is absolutely delicious. Both of this dishes is definitely a ‘Must Try’!
Our first main dish was Mr Benedict’s Hen served with poached egg, turkey ham, pancake and hollandaise sauce. This dish uses pancake instead of bread which added a refreshing twist to the norm. The pancake was fluffy and sweet; paired it with the turkey ham and poached egg is simply divine. An absolutely ‘Must Try’!
Next, we had the Mushroom Risotto with porchini and button mushroom which is al-dente and chewy. Topped off with the creamy herbs sauce and finished with parmesan crisp is delicious as well.
Followed by the Chicken Schnitzel of breaded chicken served together with fries, grilled tomato and lemon parsley. The breaded chicken was perfectly tender and soft. Dip it with the lemon parsley sauce and it’ll alleviate the taste of the chicken.
We also had the Beefy Burger served together with beef bacon, tomato lettuce and cheese. The beef patty is smoked with paprika spices and BBQ sauce is juicy and the overall taste was well-balanced as well.
Lastly, to end our meal we had the Peach and Banana Crumble Pie served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. This dessert is truly scrumptious and I couldn’t stop myself from taking a big scoop each time. Perfectly baked with a mix of spices that’s so sinfully delicious, an absolute ‘Must Try’!
I wished I could sit till nightfall to enjoy a glass of wine as Connoisseurs Café carries an extensive wines list from Italy and Australia. Not to mentioned, they also stock the finest Cuban cigars in town. Just envision yourself with a glass of great wine and cigar sitting in the heart of Jalan Bukit Bintang, will be an amazing experience!
