My husband is a gourmand in every sense of the word. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t just eat to live; he lives to eat. While some people splurge on clothes, cars or dream of globetrotting adventures, my husband’s heart and wallet are devoted to one thing – food. He’s incredibly generous when it comes to indulging in exquisite culinary experiences, and together, we embark on food hunts that are nothing short of delightful.
Our most recent culinary escapade led us to a charming new café along Old Klang Road in Kuala Lumpur, a hidden gem called SunSan Bake. Nestled in a hidden slope off Old Klang Road, SunSan Bake is housed in a cozy refurbished bungalow. This café is a haven for brunch enthusiasts and coffee connoisseurs alike.
SunSan Bake is a bakery café by day and casual dining restaurant by night.
Outside the bungalow is a pristine, green lawn and a smattering of trees and wild reeds that create a green environment. There’s a zen garden path with gravel and pebbles. Once inside, there’s plenty of natural light, thanks to plenty of French windows. What I like about a café that’s brightly lit up with natural light is that my photos will turn out beautifully, without needing much editing.
SunSan is renowned for its Western fusion cuisine and specialty coffee. What sets it apart is the dedication of its baristas, who are true artisans in the craft of hand-brewed coffee. Every cup is expertly crafted to perfection, ensuring a memorable coffee experience for patrons. For filter brews, they offer two options: “competition” beans as well as seasonal filter coffees.
Our visit to SunSan began with the tantalizing display of pastries next to the entrance, each arranged like a work of art in a gallery. The attention to detail was undeniable, and it was clear that this place aims to be a gallery of edible works of art.
For our breakfast, my husband opted for the Sunshine Breakfast set, a delightful spread that came at RM36. The plate featured a harmonious blend of flavors, including eggs, sausage, ham, grilled portobello mushroom, a handful of raw greens and a slice of toasted artisanal bread. It was a hearty breakfast that left him thoroughly satisfied. To accompany his meal, he chose a Flat White coffee (RM15).
To satisfy our sweet tooth, we couldn’t resist trying the cempedak pandan cake, priced at RM20. The cake was a revelation, with the tropical flavors of cempedak and the aromatic essence of pandan creating a harmonious and unforgettable dessert.
As for me, I had already eaten breakfast at home and wasn’t particularly hungry, but I couldn’t resist trying the cake and hubby’s breakfast set.
SunSan Bake proved to be a delightful discovery, and we left with the promise to return and explore more of their menu. We were charmed not only by the delectable food but also by the café’s commitment to creating a welcoming space where food truly becomes art.
