Cafe | Garage 51

My first experienced at Garage 51 was horrible but this morning I gave it another try since I found out they changed the entire menu selection (and a few lousy staffs. LOL!) so I was really curious to try their new breakfast menu.

I went on their Instagram account (@Garage51MY) a few days before I decided to give this cafe another try just to see their latest promotions and customer reviews. That was when I found out they were having promotions for their 2nd Anniversary. ALL THE FOOD ARE 50% FROM 9AM - 11AM! Who can say no to that right?? I called my friend and informed her about it and she immediately said that we really should go for it.

My gorgeous Cappuccino. I always get all excited every time I see a beautiful latte art on my drink.

They have changed the entire menu selection from before so all the food that I had last year, were all gone including the delicious Maria Parloa. /tsk tsk/ so sad..

This year they upgraded the service. Friendlier staffs, a bottle of drinking water for each table and the air-conditioning was actually working unlike the last time.

THE SON (RM18.90)

Ayu ordered one of their latest menu from the Messed Up Family series because when I told her about G51 is having a promotion, she checked out their Instagram page and keep telling me how much she wanted to try one of the Messed Up shakes and she got it. The Son was made out of Chocolate, Marshmallow, Cornflakes, Caramel Popcorn and salty Pretzels. It's really sweet with a hint of saltiness from the pretzels, exactly my kind of favourite. I love sweet and salty desserts.

CHICKEN FINGERS (RM10)

We ordered Chicken Fingers because we thought we would probably want to have something savoury after all that sweet pancakes and drinks. It was really good but we got really full after the pancakes so we couldn't finish the chicken fingers. I didn't know a stack of pancake could make me feel so full. There's probably something in it because usually I can stuff more food after a few pancakes.

PANCAKE WITH BACON (RM8.50) 

Full price at RM17, this is the main dish that brought me here in the early morning. I'm not a morning person but I will be when it comes to my favourite food. When I heard all the pancakes is going to be half price for that day, I know I gotta go for it. Stack of 3 pancakes with bacons in the first tier and fresh strawberry on the second tier, topped with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup in a syringe. One word: PERFECTION. I had no idea what was that pink and green thingy and I forgot what it taste like, but all I tasted was sweet so maybe it's something sweet that was colorised to match their aesthetic.

I must say, they didn't stated in the menu if the bacon is beef and I just realized that after I finished eating them plus the bacon was really really chewy. I never ate a chewy bacon before so a lot of thought came into my mind, negative ones. Normally in KL when they wrote 'bacon' and not 'beef bacon', that bacon is actually pork bacon like the one in Antipodean cafe but 'wallahua'lam' I hope I'm wrong.

PANCAKE WITH NUTELLA (RM9)

Full price at RM18. My friend loves her pancakes with sweet condiments while I'm always go for savoury pancakes. So she ordered the Nutella pancakes. Full stack topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle with the Nutella inside the syringe. Perfect for those who like sweets.

After an hour and a half, I finally got my coffee because they forgot about it. It taste so good and bitter. There are times when I just love bitter coffee and would hate it at random times. The last time I was here, I got my coffee in a freaking plastic cup, like the one you used to drink beer at parties but small one. See that African-American guy in apron? Yes, he worked there and his name is Christopher and I must say, he is sooooo nice and his customer service is super excellent. He does almost everything the whole noon all by himself. I remembered last year that I used to called the waitress for my bill like, a 23461946th times but they never showed up. All the waitresses were busy watching videos on their laptop and chatted away like there's no tomorrow. I really hate that kind of attitude when it comes to business.

As soon as I got home and wanted to throw away the receipt was when I realised something. They forgot to include my Cappuccino in the bill so I felt really bad about that. Not sure if they purposely left it out because the coffee was really late, or they genuinely forgot to include it. I mean the cafe was really busy so it was understandable. Both Pancakes were half priced but not the Chicken Fingers, not sure why though. Everything about Garage 51 is all better now. I don't have any problem with it anymore. Maybe they took customer reviews seriously and improved it in so many ways. Will I come back? Yes, for the coffee.
