The ambiance was laidback, barnlike decor, creating a comfy space for us to catch up.
I would never put up with the crowds and queue at The Red Beanbag when it’s business as usual, especially when there are so many other decent places to eat at Publika. These are strange times, so now the worst things about this place are no longer an issue. I am fully aware that immediately getting a table at the height of lunchtime is a rare, temporary state for this restaurant. This stroke of luck will never happen again as more people become aware this place is open for business and fear of the outbreak dissipates. For now, this hectic brunch spot is now a peaceful cafe.
Order the The Atlantic (RM27), in-house cured salmon served with two poached eggs, ikura, wilted Australian baby spinach, sauteed mushrooms and fluffy brioche toast, drizzled with Hollandaise sauce. The presentation and flavours were absolutely spot on. And that brioche toast is so good!
The Kraken - MYR 30++ (10% service charge, 6% SST = MYR 34.80 nett). Squid ink pasta with one whole grilled tender squid in creamy curry sauce. My friend ate everything except the deep fried curry leaves so I believe this dish is tasty. A glass bottle of plain drinking water is provided foc.
Overall, it was a super duper delicious lunch for us. Good service, delicious food and lovely environment. I have no complaints about their food as everything is great for me. Second Visit? A BIG YES for me.
Love this place to bits especially the coffees and food are at a consistent level, never drop it's standard whenever I revisit them. Food and beverages over here are simply affordable. The service provided by the staff are fast in pace, friendly and helpful as well.
It consist of spaghetti served with a generous amount of sautéed mushrooms, semi dried tomatoes, black olives, asparagus and chili flakes. The spaghetti itself was spongy and the sauce was not too oily, just perfect! *recommended*
