Pickle & Fig TTDI

Good cup of matcha but not as smooth - there’s still bits of Matcha powder that was not whisked properly. You can opt for no sugar but the barista would still give you a side sugar syrup just in case it’s too bitter for your tastebuds. 🍵

Overpriced in my opinion for a sandwich that lacked flavour and love. The bread was nice and toasty but the fillings were underwhelming (it’s said to have turkey ham, beef salami and pulled beef but it felt like I only got ham and some slivers of beef).

A frontrunner for healthy eats in the vicinity, Pickle & Fig makes a fit lunch spot with a friend after an early gym sesh. Take your pick of handcrafted paninis and gourmet sandwiches from the chalkboard menu. The crowd favourite is the Coronation Chicken (RM18) that pairs sliced chicken breast with alfalfa sprouts between ciabatta bread. It may sound a little too healthy for your taste, but the yummy "coronation sauce" and a side of potato wedges will change your mind. Alternatively, attempt a Goji Me (RM14) smoothie and let the winning combination of strawberries, goji berries, apple, pineapple and yoghurt fill you up.
Avg Price: RM30

Pickle & Fig is located in the same row as Dotty's and Purradise cat cafe. The cafe itself is okay. From a lot of menu written on a wide big greenboard behind the cashier, I picked BBQ Philly Cheesesteak with wholemeal bread. It cost me RM24 which I think is quite overpriced.

The dish comes with a wholemeal press grilled with their beef slices cooked with their own kitchen's BBQ sauce, cheddar and mozarella cheese, and fried onion ring. To me this is unique because the ususal philly cheesesteak uses sauteed onion. Unfortunately the beef was hard and the bread was too dry for me. The sauce is ok for me, even though it felt quite strong and left some heat after I finished eating. The sandwich comes with salad and potato wedges. Both were ok. The salad's vinaigrette left quite a good memory after the meal.

Conclusion, it's an average overprice philly.

Another new sandwiches and panini series from Pickle and Fig that I got to try was Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese (RM22). With my choice of foccacia bread it has smoked salmon, cream cheese mixed with lemon tarragon mayo, and mixed greens with capers.

Bad news is, the overall of this panini disappointed me. I couldn't really taste the salmon, even though it was smoked salmon which should've tasted stronger. The cream cheese got beaten with the sour lemon mayo. Yes, the potato wedges and the salad were ok. The bread was the only savior of the panini, which was perfectly grilled with outer thin crust and moist bread inside.

I hope the next time I have a chance to visit this well-known cafe again, it has come up with nicer dishes than these ones.

If you like sandwiches, this is definitely one of the good location to drop by to enjoy the delicious and healthy sandwiches. price range less than Rm30 and I think it's reasonable with the quality ingredients served. will revisit soon to try more . BBQ & Egg n Baked beans . RM22 , RM 16
