Recently, the hubs had a pleasant dining experience at Baristart Coffee and wanted to share the culinary delight with us. Eager to explore the menu, we ventured to the café to sample their famous food offerings.
Baristart Coffee, a renowned Hokkaido-born establishment, has found its way to Malaysian shores with its first outpost in Bangsar Shopping Centre. Since opening its doors in 2022, this coffee haven has been captivating the hearts of locals and tourists alike with its delectable food and beverages infused with Hokkaido milk.
Our brunch spread consisted of an enticing assortment of dishes, each prepared with the finest ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.
- Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs: This classic combination was elevated to new heights at Baristart Coffee. The creamy avocado paired perfectly with fluffy scrambled eggs, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
- Ocean Trout with Salsa and Brown Butter: A true treat for fish lovers, this dish featured succulent ocean trout with crispy skin adorned with vibrant salsa, brussels sprout, and brown butter. The flavors danced on our taste buds, leaving us wanting more.
- Beef Sukiyaki Sando on Hokkaido Bread: A true standout, the beef sukiyaki sando was sandwiched between incredibly soft and fluffy Hokkaido bread. The tender beef, combined with the rich flavors of sukiyaki sauce, made for a delightful culinary experience.
- Mixed Tempura Bowl: A medley of perfectly fried tempura showcased the chef’s expertise in capturing the essence of Japanese cuisine. The crispness of the tempura paired flawlessly with the accompanying dipping sauce, raw cabbage, and rice, making it a satisfying choice.
- Cinnamon Rolls: These warm, fluffy rolls were generously dusted with cinnamon sugar and topped with a luscious glaze. Each bite was a burst of comforting flavors, making it a perfect companion for our coffee. The mil liked it so much that she ordered one more for takeaway for her breakfast the next day.
- Strawberry Cream Puff: A delicate choux pastry filled with velvety strawberry cream, this dessert was a refreshing and light option to satisfy our sweet cravings.
- Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream: True to their roots, Baristart Coffee showcased the creaminess and richness of Hokkaido milk in their delightful ice cream.
- Milk Cake Nutella: This unique creation resembled a tiramisu but without alcohol. The combination of Nutella and the creamy milk cake base made for a decadent treat that delighted our taste buds.
While our experience at Baristart Coffee was overwhelmingly positive, we found the bombolini to be slightly too sweet and cloying for our liking. However, this small hiccup did not overshadow the overall culinary journey we embarked on during our Sunday brunch.
Despite our delightful brunch experience, we left with an eagerness to return and explore more of Baristart Coffee’s offerings. We are particularly excited to try their range of sandos, known for their delectable fillings and usage of Hokkaido bread. Additionally, the cute Shiro Kuma bear-shaped shaved ice bowl with milk syrup has piqued our curiosity and eagerness to try it on our next visit.
