A secret hideout of a cafe-store, chock-full of teak tables, mahogany cabinets & the most charming clutter that money can buy.
Real thought & effort have gone into Allison's menu, resulting in comfort food that transcends mere scrambled eggs. Thumbs up for the huevos rancheros _ piping-hot baked eggs made tangy with tomatoes, topped with super-creamy feta cheese & served with warm tortilla.
Fluffy frittata, filled with slow-cooked eggs, parmesan, potatoes, tomato salsa & sorrel. Much more flavorsome than any old omelet at high-profile outlets elsewhere.
Salmon-&-tuna akame fish cake with poached egg. Prices are encouragingly low; most items cost under RM20, so even a belly-busting meal with drinks won't exceed RM50 per person.
Pumpkin soup with cilantro pesto. A tangy Thai twist to perk up what would otherwise be a banal broth; it's like tom yam crossed with pumpkin soup, almost.
Almond-blanketed prawns with Oriental salad. The nuttiest crustaceans ever; a tasty testament to the crazy creativity of the folks here & their expert execution.
Complimentary moist dark chocolate cake. All in all, Allison's Place is a crackerjack venue for breakfast, lunch & tea.
Cranberry smoothie & cappuccino.
Mixed smoothies: apricot & oat bran, alongside banana & macadamia.
Allison's Place @ Damansara Heights,
8-1A, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur (behind Hock Lee mini-market).
Open Monday-Saturday, 8am-4pm.
This place looks eggylicious :D
ReplyDeleteUlric: enough to make me eggs-tatic =)
ReplyDeleteMy kinda place (:
ReplyDeleteHaha...good one...egg-holic :D
ReplyDeleteBtw, is the menu extensive?
They do look like the nuttiest crustaceans ever. Was the nutty professor there too? hehe :P
ReplyDeletethis place looks homely. a place that's pretty good to kick back and chill.
ReplyDeletei must say the almonds blanketed prawns is quite an attraction there. i can imagine the sweet taste of almonds with the prawns which is naturally sweet too...
This place looks absolutely charming and the food looks really good too. The huevos rancheros look like the perfect dip!
ReplyDeleteWhat brought you there? Shopping for home stuff or Xmas pressies ? :)
ReplyDeletei wonder how the oat bran and apricot smoothie tastes like... kinda forgotten how oat bran tastes like... :(
ReplyDeletethe prawns look really good. i can imagine the crunch already! kyaaaa!
Augustdiners: hope you enjoy it! :D
ReplyDeleteUlric: yeps, there's quite a nice list of starters, salads, soups & main courses. definitely more than 25 items =)
Ciki: no nutty professors, only nutty customers, heheh! :D
Missyblurkit: yeah, it's a very welcoming, laid-back place. we thought the food would be just average, but it turned out to be impressively well-prepared! :D
ReplyDeleteWendy: ya, and it actually tastes wholesome, with a home-made kinda feel! the ingredients seem fresh and there's no excess oil or salt or anything nasty. =)
Baby sumo: heheh, it's too early for christmas shopping for me, though the store already has some santa decorations for sale! :D
ReplyDeleteMichelle: there's some nice coarse roughage to give the drink more texture. the oat bran probably doesn't add much flavor, but it's a good way to boost our fiber intake =)
So weird seeing your pics after Devil showed me his version of the same last night. Macam déjà vu! :D
ReplyDeleteKenny: sniff sniff, but devil's photos are surely nicer. so it's deja vu in a deteriorating manner =)
ReplyDeletedo you know where can i have the whole turkey? dine out but no buffet... thx
ReplyDeleteI like the almond prawn and frittatta, will go back again to try their other stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd my photos not nicer lah, just took in different angle. :P
ReplyDeleteOh, and Sean wanted Devil to know they are twins from different mothers or something liddat. (I don't think so; Devil can't eat as MUCH as Sean does...)
ReplyDelete:P
Looks like a cute place for breakkie. How was the coffee?
ReplyDeletelovemandy: this restaurant in sri petaling specializes in turkey: http://eatdrinkkl.blogspot.com/2011/06/turkey-point.html
ReplyDeleteCKiong: heheh, i wanna try some of their main courses :D and your photos usually nicer lah. if mine are 5/10, yours are 7/10, heheh :D
Kenny: the older brother is usually supposed to be given the lion's share of the food after all =)
ReplyDeleteMs Tindall: ooh, i didn't try the coffee, but my friend was pleased enough with it that he ordered two cups! :D
Older brother? OLD part is right lor... :P
ReplyDeleteAnd only 7/10? I'd give Devil's pictures at least an 8.5/10 lah. Hehe.
Kenny: even though i'm sure many people would mistake me to be the younger brother :D and you cannot rate the pics, cos you're gravely biased! =)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear...will definitely pay a visit :D
ReplyDeleteBtw found their FB page here...

:D
Ulric: yups, they've set up a decent web presence for their basic details...
ReplyDeleteNow this is the kinda place I would love to spend my afternoons at, lazing and doing nothing. A perfect place to escape the craziness at the office if I wanted to...if only parking isn't horrendous here on normal work days. Guess it's weekends for me then. And the close at 4pm? Like really?
ReplyDeleteqwazymonkey: yeah, the business hours are awfully inconvenient. i guess the best time to go is on saturdays for brunch, since it's closed on sundays! you're right, it's a really nice place to escape to, with pretty friendly people there. and surprisingly, it's not crowded at all =)
ReplyDeletei always like this type of cafe where you can shop and eat at the same time. The furniture looks nice!
ReplyDeleteEiling: yeah, kill two birds with one stone, heheh :D
