DEAR LIFE | My Brunch in Kuala Lumpur: Antipodean Cafe, Levain Boulangerie Patisserie, The Front Door




在吉隆坡的日子,虽是游荡虽是悠闲,但在人潮中穿梭来往也是一种无名的忙忙碌碌,若没细细体验地方风情,必定会错过了解这城市的美妙。在这里的数日,你无法忽视马路车辆拥挤,某些地方的卫生清洁状况,外地劳工和游客各肤色人群的居留的现象,但你会把它撇到一旁,纯粹想发掘和感受城市的魄力,比如说:在周末偷个懒睡到日上三竿,然后吃上一些美味的食物。


Still remember the time I was at Kuala Lumpur, I was quite free and I have my own time to wandering around the city. If you do not slow down your step and look at what happening around you, I'm sure that you had missed a lot of the chances to understand this wonderful city. At KL, you can ignore the busy traffic, the hygienic problem at some places and the phenomena of foreign worker that slowly become our residences. But you will put all this things aside and explore and experience this city. For example, wake up late at the weekend and time find a good restaurant or cafe to have your brunch. 




 1. Antipodean Cafe 


这是一个提供全天早餐,服务态度亲切,食物美味上桌数度快且环境舒适的用餐好地点,也让我在离开后偶尔还会想念的地方。餐馆没有特别夸张的装潢,没有令人眼花缭乱的噱头,只有整齐排列的桌椅,粉笔字写满菜单的大黑板,每桌插在杯子里的几朵鲜艳花儿。在繁忙的日子里看到如此轻松的氛围真叫人心花怒放,累意全消。

Antipodean cafe provide all day breakfast with friendly services. The time of serving is also very fast that you don't need to wait for so long to get to enjoy your food where sometime your mood will be spoiled by it. This is the place that i will definitely missed it after i leave KL. There was no over whelming decoration in their cafe. All the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, the menu was written on a big chalk board and each tables were place with a some fresh flowers. Just imagine that in a busy day where you saw such a relaxing places, all the tiredness will disappear for sure.

 2. Levain Boulangerie Patisserie 



周末放纵自己睡得久一些,醒来梳洗后便带着好心情前往 Levain Boulangerie Patisserie 吃早餐。外观是我非常喜欢的双层独立式洋房咖啡厅,装修概念是法国风,门口有绿意浓的植物,天台有红色的花朵,招牌标志是一个小女孩骑着自行车,给人一种特别悠闲自得的感觉。哪知当我步入厅里看见人潮,那一刻都不能安宁的氛围让我失去了用餐的心情,匆忙找了个仅有且不太舒适的位子(把预定的牌子放在桌子后竟然还被人强行霸占),离开时只留下一句话:找个没有人潮的时间来或许能把食物吃得美味些。

Levain Boulangerie Patisserie, the outer appearance is a double story semi-d with French design with I love it so much. The entrance was covered greenery, the balcony have loads of red flowers and their sign board which is a girl riding her bicycle. This give me a very relaxing feel. Once i enter the cafe, I was a little bit disappointed with the crowd in it. Although this is a bad things for customer like me, but this also say that they run their business well. I'm so unlucky that day where the place that i booked was forcibly occupied by some rude customer. It's give me a bad experience during my visit, but maybe it won’t happen to you guys. So, just pay a visit and may be you will like it. Who know's.

 3. The Front Door Cafe 


吉隆坡的苏丹街靠近北上巴士总站,也靠近唐人街,每次抵达,若有时间总会闲逛吃个晚餐。之前也因为大学课业(为了写份苏丹街地皮上建捷运计划的报导),得以深入了解这地方的文化与历史,因此每次流连总不忘好好看看这条老街道。虽然都市的商业味已经使得这条街变了个模样,古迹保存也不知是否抵得过发展洪流,但这条街毕竟是文化的根基——「老吉隆坡」的象征。

那天到了商务书局时看见了这间小咖啡馆(外观不引人注目,若没仔细看的话就会错过),便决定买了书后来这里吃个午餐,点了咖啡馆里的照片吐司和饮料,便开始翻阅刚才购买的书籍。餐馆的环境还是蛮舒服的,只不过位子有限,且很多旅人好奇这件小店,把这里当成一个景点进出拍照,不太适合独自前来,比较适合一群朋友来谈天说地。色香味俱全的招牌吐司彻底地惊艳了我视觉与味觉,一上桌,我只想不停地拍照,美丽得不舍得入口,但是一入口又是另一番美妙的滋味,相信这美味吐司将会成为一种大家到这必点必享用比拍摄的风尚。

Every time i visit KL, I will definitely stop by Jalan Sultan or somewhere near China town to have my dinner. Still remember I was given an assignment to write a dept report about Jalan Sultan MRT construction plan, I had a chance to understanding of the culture and history of this place. So, Jalan Sultan is a meaningful and a place that full of memories for Malaysian. Although Jalan Sultan was rapidly developed, but after all, this is still the root street culture, symbol of Old Kuala Lumpur.

When I pay a visit to a book store to buy some books, I saw this cafe where they do not have very attractive appearance and if you do not pay enough attention, you will missed it for sure. I think this were the things that attract me the most, a low profile cafe that sell good quality food and beverages. So, I decided to had my lunch here after I done shopping in book store. I had ordered The Front Door Signature Toast and a cup of drinks, then I was busy reading the book that I just bought it. The cafe have a very comfy and relaxing environment, but they just have limited seats. This is a place that suitable for a bunch of friend who want to have some good food and coffee and have a good chat. 

The Front Door Signature Toast had a stunning visual and taste. Once it was served, I just wanted to keep on taking photo because it is simply too beautiful and I was a little bit unwilling to eat it. After I done taking photo, I prepared to give it a try. It was mind blowing when I had the first taste. I highly recommend you guys to order this when you guys pay a visit to The Front Door.

后记:

吉隆坡算是一个适合暂时逃离的城市。

毕业了还不想那么快投入工作,便前往吉隆坡几次并小住几个星期。这里并没有能让我心醉的风景,也没有欧美大城市的繁华,老屋街道也没有中国名城的古色古香,可是我却对这地方留有眷恋。

大多时间都花在东走西逛,大街小巷踩着前往,看人来人往,就像看人生这辆列车在我眼前停站,上演人生百态。我不知人群会投以我怎样的眼光,但我也没必要去忍受这些目光的标签,毕竟每个人看车窗外的风景的领悟都不一样。

这里,我想记录和分享爱丽丝·门罗的《亲爱的生活》书面封套上的一句话:

「在这趟旅途中,所有的事都不会像我们希望的那样发生。但到最后,这些都不要紧。我们终将原谅这个世界,原谅我们自己。因为,我们一直以如此善意对待的生活,终将以善意回馈你我。」

其实,还有几件心愿想在这座城市实现,等那一日闲了,再去一趟。我想,漫长的一段时间内必定有人遗留忘记了什么,等着那一个曾经相识的人来捡回这份感动。
