Friend suggested this place for a Sunday breakfast as the review from a blog was pretty positive. When we arrived at 9+ in the morning, the place was already pack, though not to the extent of having need to queue to get our seats though.

I ordered a Full Monty aka Hobbs' Choice ($20) which came with three fried eggs, sausage, bacon, grilled tomato, mushroom, baked beans and buttered toast, as well as a choice of coffee and tea and an orange juice. My friend ordered the scrambled eggs ($6), with additional bacon ($2.50) and mushroom ($1.50) and an orange juice ($5). There's no GST and service charge is $3.50 (hmm...on the receipt is shown as a flat rate of $3.50 instead of a percentage). Total bill came up to $38.50.

For a start, I felt the orange juice at $5 was a little expensive if you ordered separate. The full monty at $20 seems more value money as it come with both coffee/tea and orange juice, which probably cost $8 - 10. Food wise, I found it to be pretty good, though there's nothing special given what we ordered. The bacon were crispy and not tough, and the toast was well done as well. Portion wise is also decent as well.

Overall, a nice cosy place for a sunday breakfast or brunch and worth a 3.5 star.

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine

    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut Teh 梁记(巴生) 肉骨茶 @ Geylang
    CyberTron commented..
    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
