[CLOSED] THIRDWAVE

Sous Vide Fried Chicken | Savoury Cheddar Waffle with Maple Chilli Peanut Butter | Tomato Salsa

Fried chicken leg on cheddar waffle (RM27). Best eaten on an empty stomach as the cheddar waffle, though delicious, can be quite 'jelak'.

Head to third wave after our dinner at botanica! Too bad, pandan kaya is the only flavor left.

Located on the first floor of Nexus Bangsar South, Thirdwave has always had a place in our hearts for its well thought-out brunch dishes and delicious desserts. The venue has a zen air to it, and walks the fine line between formal and casual, which makes it a perfect place to nail your next business brunch. A fan-favourite here is the Green Shakshuka (RM28) that sees baked eggs in warm spinach curry, uplifted by the aroma of kaffir lime, lemongrass and chili butter. For those who like their brunch to pack a punch, the Szechuanese-inspired Mala Chicken (RM25) hits the mark. Drizzled with a spicy peppercorn peanut sauce, the deep-fried chicken strips are set atop chestnut and walnut puree that helps soften the blow of tongue-numbing flavours. The cafe also makes their own ice cream, best enjoyed in the Dark Chocolate & Rose sandwiched between crunchy sables (RM10). For drinks, order the organic Matcha Latte (RM12). No one does it quite like them — smooth, bittersweet and served in a quaint Japanese cup.

Finally had the opportunity to try out one of the dishes from THIRDWAVE's newly revamp menu - The Green Shakshuka during the #burpplehangoutkl event today. This tomato-free version one-pot middle eastern egg dish is perfumed with warm spices; the eggs are poached in the sea of creamy green purée (mixture of spinach, zucchini and other green goodness). And of course, there's a piece of pita around to sop up all its creamy goodness!

Known for refined dishes worth spending on, Thirdwave reiterates their creative prowess with this new menu. This is a highly recommended spot to splurge with either a friend or colleague. Don't miss the picture-perfect Magic Taro Egg (RM25) — yam-coated scotch egg set on a trio of mussels, macaroni and divine truffled cream. For those who enjoy sweet-salty combos, the Duck Waffle & Ice Cream (RM35) sees a delicious duck leg confit served next to egg and bacon-infused ice cream on waffles. Be sure to end your meal with the wonderfully imagined flavours of the ice cream sandwiches (from RM10 each). From intriguing combinations like pandan kaya with burnt caramel to lavender honey with blueberry, all ice cream is housemade and sandwiched between crisp, dense sables.
