The affordable set also comes with an energising shot of orange juice. If you prefer to fuel your mornings with sweets, have Country Set C — two toasted waffles with fresh fruit, butter and honey. Small eaters can go for a frill-free Combo 2 (RM7) with eggs your way, baked beans and toast. As for drinks, fret not because all breakfasts set come with your choice of coffee or tea.

Najib (of The Serai Group) and Belle, famed baker of cakes sold across Serai Group restaurants, join forces at this casual establishment. Bring your family for a weekend brunch spree of dukkah-spiced breakfasts! The Egyptian spice is featured fantastically in a must-have Moroccan-Style Baked Eggs (RM26.50) with Dukkah sausages, chickpeas, feta cheese and Napoli sauce, and it also appears in the appetising Dukkah-Spiced Grilled Chicken Salad (RM28). Since it's the weekend, also indulge in a refreshing Watermelon Cake (RM14.80) which stacks lychee sponge cake, cream and watermelon slice. Avg Price: RM45

On hectic mornings, make a stop at Le Bread Days cafe for a quick breakfast to fuel your day — snag one of the few seats available, or else grab to go. Popular picks include the much hyped Salted Egg Yolk Croissant (RM6.90) — a crusty creature that reveals a yummy centre of salted egg yolk custard — and Le Bread Turkey Ham Croissant (RM6.25) that envelopes delicious, cheesy turkey ham within the buttery pastry. The bakery also boasts a variety of breads and pastries from quaint German Egg Tarts (RM3.50) to classic Chocolate Danish (RM4.30). You might be tempted to buy something extra home for odd hour pastry cravings! Avg Price: RM10

Wake up to the glorious smell of pancakes and incredibly cheap prices here at Tryst (which is also a shisha and supper spot by night). Get your mates down with you to tackle a Caramel Pancake (from RM5) — a large, fluffy pancake topped with sweet caramel drizzle. Otherwise, opt for the simple but delicious Pancake with Butter + Honey (from RM5), or the savoury Pancake with Chicken Gravy (RM10). Extra points for their incredibly wallet-friendly prices!

Here's an idea for your next daytime date — brunch in a cocooned, artistic cafe. Offering some quiet in the otherwise rowdy neighbourhood, the art cafe has a slew of brunchtime goodies. Don't miss the delish vegetarian Aussie Baked Eggs (RM16.90) combining potatoes, zucchini, jalapenos and almonds for both creaminess and crunch. For dessert, light up your date's eyes by ordering the messy but highly recommended Au Lait French Toast (RM15.90), which comes glazed with caramel ginger syrup. Avg Price: RM25

Enjoy a good laugh over brunch here with a few friends after class. You may get over the mischief of its name, but Bang Cock's (RM25) robust flavours will not be easy to forget. The extremely tasty pasta is a blend of tom yum and green curry, served next to two tantalising Thai-style chicken skewers. Also recommended is The Three Way (RM21) — a foolproof dish of slow-cooked oxtail and beef served with mash and pan fried mantou — perfect on rainy mornings. Avg Price: RM30

Flingstones is the place to be if you're looking for a hearty, porky Malaysian brunch. Accessibly located opposite Taylor's College, swing by with a friend (or your laptop) and order the sinful but irresistible Porky Fat Rice XL (RM20) — a better-plated version of nasi lemak with lots of grilled pork. Alternatively, get a spicy wok-fried spaghetti called "Chu Yao Char" (pork lard) Angel Hair (RM18). It's every pork lover's dream dish and we think you know why. For a cuppa to wake you from an imminent food coma, get the Dirty (RM13), a dark, aromatic coffee. Avg Price: RM30

Signature Hokkaido toasts take the spotlight here at Yesterday so come in a group to share the delightfully thick, buttered bread.

The casual food goes surprisingly well with the classy decor here. If you prefer to enjoy thick toast as a dessert, there's the lovable Yesterday's Toast (RM15.90) that comes with maple honey, vanilla ice cream and crushed nuts. Avg Price: RM30
