Motormouth From Ipoh – Asian Food & Travel Blog

Tell me your story about a favourite spot for breakfast in KL. Do you prefer time-honoured kopitiams or do you like modern cafes?

Is your heart moved by the sight of two runny half-boiled eggs on buttered toast; paired with an aromatic brew of coffee? Or have you an aversion to a breakfast of champions; the BIG Western platter with every possible artery-clogging materials known to men?

Come what may; thunderstorms & an everlasting congestion this monstrosity of a Monday; let me share with you this quaint spot ambitiously named Wondermama in Bangsar.

A post dedicated to TallGal for an obvious reason she would understand. 😉

The interior of the restaurant/bakery/cafe

It was my virginal visit to Bangsar Village, and after hearing so much about Alexis from various floggers, was tempted to try their famed Tiramisu. However, as luck would have it, me and MB were searching every nook and corner but could not locate the bistro. Sigh …

But hey, as luck would have it, my eyes sparkled once I passed this cozy little restaurant-cum-cafe-cum-bakery, Suchan. I still remember The Star did an interview with the owner few weeks/months back. With my worsening memory, how did I manage to remember? Haha, let’s just say the name really rang a bell. Right, Tall Gal? LOL … Anyhow, the place was empty, but understandable considering the vast choices of eateries around the same area, and it was a working day after all.

The sinful tiramisu (RM9.90)

We skipped the mains as our ‘petite’ stomachs could not sustain the onslaught of food after a substantial breakfast. Headed straight to the cakes section, and contemplating on which ones to order. They do have quite a variety for choosing, and reasonably priced at around RM9.90 per piece. I chose their famous Tiramisu, while MB chose the Banoffee Pie, recommended by the waitress at the counter. Oh, one funny thing is, most, if not all, of the employees on the floor are Vietnamese (I think). Fortunately most of them have fair diction of the English language.

Banoffie Pie (RM9.90)

The Tiramisu was superb. Really, really good stuff. The sponge is soaked with coffee syrup (and I suspect a liberal addition of rum, hehe), sandwiched with cheese and bitter chocolate chips, topped with almond pralines. The crunchy bits on top was addictive. Not too sweet, nor too bitter from the coffee powder commonly used in tiramisu, the cake was served with tangy strawberry sauce, which not only complemented the cake well, but offset the feeling of fullness which often results from desserts.

The Banoffie Pie was quite a disappointment though. The coffee cream with banana slices and toffee layer was a good combination, but fell short of the oomph factor. We could not put our fingers on what it lacked, but probably the Tiramisu was just too good, over-shadowing the humble pie. Nevertheless, the portion was sufficient and they do not skimp on the ingredients.

Hmm, the cakes gotta be good enough to attract the BIG shots, right?

Aside from their cakes and pastries section, Suchan serves a commendable variety of mains, and set meals, whereby they assist you in choosing your meal by combining various mains, desserts and drinks and categorized them according to your mood.
