The Red Beanbag @ Solaris Dutamas


Price Range : Mid-range
Cuisine : Western
Recommended For : A weekend brunch
Catphobia-Friendly? : Yes! =)

It’s always great to wake up only to be greeted by a plateful of goodness! There’s just nothing better than spending an off day sitting in a sunny cafe, tucking into piping hot eggs and toast, discussing about nothing and everything over cup(s) of coffee. It’s also so much better when that cup of latte actually comes with a bar of Tim Tam! Yeps, in keeping with the Aussie vibe that The Red Beanbag emanates, you can choose to Tim Tam Slam the coffee beverage of your choice! The coffee here is superbly rich, and the best way to have it really is without any sugar, as bites of Tim Tam in between gives such an interesting, chocolatey dimension to every satisfying sip.


Here’s our Latte with Tim Tam (RM8 for latte, additional RM2 for the Tim Tam)

Having only been here for the first time, we skimmed through their eco-chic cardboard menu, trying to decide on dishes that would tend to our hankering for some good breakfast foods. 


We eventually decided on the Eggs Benedict (RM15.90) and The Red Beanbag’s Signature Big Breakfast (RM19.90). The Eggs Benedict are pretty good: runny poached eggs served on a bed of sautéed mushrooms, crunchy asparagus, strips of beef bacon and toast.  


The Big Breakfast comes with eggs (choice between poached, over-easy, sunny side up or scrambled), sausage, baked beans, hash browns, sautéed mushrooms and toast. Might sound like a lot of food, but we do have to say the portion is hardly big. Would be great to have more than 1 piece of the sausage though, it’s really juicy and loved each peppery bite!


Cute promo running soon!

  1. OMG! I see a Tim Tam in your first pic!!! Is it a real one from Australia or the version they have to make here for the hot weather that just don't taste the same?
