It was the day of my last birthday. VK brought me to Changkat Bukit Bintang for breakfast to start off our day. We wanted to go for Engka Portobello, a nice restaurant which serves really good breakfast with an affordable price, but was surprise to find out that they are no longer there. As Magnificient Fish & Chips Bar is the only one restaurant that serves breakfast there, we decided to try them.
For some reason, Magnificient Fish & Chips Bar does not have a “proper” menu. We had to walked into the restaurant in order to read the menu which was written on the chalkboard. THis is so inconvenient and to some extent even caused discomfort to other customers dining here as we had to look “through” them just to read the menu.
Their breakfast menu is quite extensive. I ordered the Chirpy Big Breakfast (for RM28) and just like it’s name, the portion of the big breakfast is huge. I have 4 large pieces of sliced-into-half bread, 2 sunny side up eggs, sausage, ham, kidney beans and mushrooms. It tastes quite alright, no complains. If you and your partner do not have big appetite, this portion is good enough for two person. The only down-side is that this big breakfast do not come with coffee or tea.
Based on it’s name, VK ordered their Magnificient Fish and Chips (for RM36) hoping that his meal would be magnificient. However, his fish and chips did not turn out to be magnificient at all. Taste wise, the fish was fresh but had some muddy smell. Presentation wise, I think that it is quite annoying to know that they used a piece of newspaper to hold up the fish and chips. Only a thin piece of paper was used to separate the fish and chips with the newspaper. Isn’t it improper to place a non-edible thing on your customer’s plate?
There should be more places which serves good and affordable breakfast here as there are many tourists around this area. If I were to put myself into their position, I would be happy to know that there are many other choices to choose from for breakfast.
Sad to say, our breakfast didn’t turn out magnificient like we expected it to be. I don’t think we would be revisiting here anytime soon as the price is too high and with very limited choices of restaurant to choose from.
