Brunch @ Bistro a Table

Whipping up a welcome reason to wake up on weekends, Bistro a Table now serves brunch every Saturday and Sunday, 10:30am through 2pm.

Rise and shine with some sunny-side-up: Bistro's duck egg croque madame with Gruyere béchamel and Italian turkey ham (RM19++) is as good as a yolk-based breakfast gets.

Truffled organic scrambled eggs, beautifully creamy and aromatic, with portabello mushrooms, oven-roasted roma tomatoes and toasted sourdough toast (RM25++).

House-smoked Tasmanian King Salmon with eggs on toast with sautéed baby spinach (RM28++). Possibly PJ's tastiest rendition of this recipe, boasting a savory ooey-gooeyness that makes it real comfort food for brunch-goers.

Not everything here has egg as its marquee player (we're praying for egg yolk-flavored ice cream someday!), but this fresh croissant is well worth biting into, especially since it's partnered with rich French jams and brilliant Lescure butter (RM9.50++).

More elaborate than regular home-prepared cereals: organic Swiss Bircher muesli (RM19++), spruced up with sheep yogurt and cassis coulis for a fun fruity-milky mix.

Buttermilk scones (RM17++), prepared a la minute, with clotted cream, orange marmalade and raspberry jam. Ideal for folks preferring a denser, cake-like texture in their scones.

Organic corn fritters, served warm with avocado salsa, oven-roasted roma tomatoes, coriander salad and turkey bacon (RM24++). Recommended; wish this were available more widely in the Klang Valley.

Ricotta pancakes with Gula Melaka syrup and organic bananas (RM25++). Can't tell if this is healthy or sinful. Or whether it's possible for something to be both.

Banana bread with mascarpone cheese (RM9.50++). The menu is expected to remain more or less the same for the next few weeks, so if anything here catches your fancy, make a reservation with Bistro, pronto!

A full range of wine and bubbly remains available in the a.m.
