Well, you guessed it, I took the opportunity to have breakfast with Puan Anita again this morning. We again went to La Bodega, but this time, rather than the outlet at Telawi, we went to Bangsar Shopping Center.
The offer a similar menu, but the ambiance was completely different. The Telawi outlet were smack in the middle of a row of shoplot, giving it a more claustrophobic feeling. But the area was more opened and assessable as people would just park be the street and enter the restaurant.
Nice opened space
My rather too dry for comfort Egg BenedictThe BSC outlet was more of a proper cafe. The had two parts, an indoor shop - smaller - or the open space, where the smoking area was. More spacious, complete with sofas. I prefer these opened spaces, although I could do without people puffing about.
Personally, the service here at the BSC was a lot faster, but comparing the two outlet, the meals - or at least the breakfast - was tastier at Telawi. My egg Benedict was moist and the toast better prepared there. Coffee was similar. But that was nitpicking really. For sheer convenience, the BSC was probably better since there was ample car parking space as well as you were shielded from the elements. It would save some time as well, as usually we could do some groceries as well as visiting Anita's favourite food outlet, O'Gourmet.
At the end, it was down to personal preferences. There were really not much difference between the two outlet foodwise. I would choose depending on whether I had business to carry out near the two restaurants. But it was raining outside, I would definitely head for BSC for obvious reason.
La Bodega at BSC was located on the Ground Floor by the main entrance next to Chinoz.
