VCR (Galloway)

It's been years since my last visit to @vcrlovesyou Bangsar where I fell in love with their 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 🧀 and 𝘾𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚 ☕, and this time upon my return to KL, I decided to indulge in the 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙡𝙖𝙭 🐣 for brunch at the Galloway branch!

I was surprised at how delicious the house made 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙡𝙖𝙭 🐟🍃 was, delightfully plump and tender, but not overly salty like the usual processed ones that you'd get at the supermarket.

Paired with creamy 𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙜𝙜𝙨 🐣 on crispy 𝙎𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙏𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩 🍞, the portion of 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 𝙊𝙞𝙡 could have been more generous as it was pretty faint, but what blew me away was the combination of mildly sharp 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙤-𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙤 🧀 shavings and 𝙎𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙥 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 🦐🌶️ which gave the dish that little kick of spice and flavour.

Washed down with a cup of nutty and well rounded 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 ☕ and well taken care of by the friendly staff with their exceptional service, it's not hard to see why VCR is one of the leading cafes in the area. 🥰♥️♥️♥️

VCR is an oasis of calm in the heart of busy KL, with good coffee and decent food. Great texture on the thick and fluffy brioche french toast, and the flavour as well as textural combination of the espresso no churn ice cream, sour raspberry compote and coffee-esque mocha sauce worked well. However the chocolate soil and crumble was too fine and irritated the throat slightly.

Taste: 3.5/5

Housemade rye toast served with Ni-Tamago, house-cured gravadilax, pickled Kuri, prawn Skagen and some salad. RM28 per serving.

Definitely still prefer the Jalan Galloway outlet than the Bangsar due to the brighter and spacious area. Waffle was great as usual, love the generous serving of mushrooms on the waffle.

The unagi had a floss-like texture, different from the Japanese unagi. The whole plate of crispy croissant, pickle kyuri, ni-tamogo and salad was so good.

This would make the perfect warm meal on a chilly day. Rich tomato sauce, chickpeas, 63 degrees eggs, sausages and greek yogurt. Served with 2 slices of sourdough.
