Plan B @ Bangsar Village 1, Culture Café with Artisan Coffee and Creative Cooking~


If you are a regular at Bangsar Village, perhaps Plan B should be a rather familiar name as this is one of the few restaurants which gets exceptionally busy especially at the weekend (expect packed to the brim scenery during dining hour, no kidding :P). The restaurant under The BIG Group has gained many attention since its opening due to their unique décor & colour tone, and of course the nice reputations they have on their food. :)

Plan B. Menu. :)
The restaurant offers an Aussie-meets-New York deli dishes and recently a touch of Asia culinary has been nicely blended into the menu. Thanks to Nuffnang few of us from Tastebuddies@Nuffnang were invited to try out some of the tempting dishes on a wonderful Saturday lunch session. ^^

Plan B @ Bangsar Village 1. 

Other than its décor with a fusion of contemporary & vintage industrial feel, another impressive thing about Plan B would be the market positioning, despite of being another ordinary cookie-cutter coffee bars, Plan B’s idea of being a cultural café which focuses on both artisan coffee & creative cooking is brilliant as it offers a great variety of dishes to its customers.. Check out their >menu HERE<; with a wide selection of salads/soups, sandwiches/burgers, pastas, small bites, desserts etc., there’s always a plan b if you’re looking for more than just a cup of coffee. :P   

Interior & decor, nice fusion of contemporary & vintage ^^

 So here’re some of the dishes that we ordered:

Avo Quinoa b^^d
Avo Quinoa (RM23)
A nice healthy dish with avocado, corn salsa, fried quinoa & mild chilli oil on a perfectly toasted ciabatta bread. I like the smoothness of the poached eggs & mascarpone cheese topping which goes perfectly well with bread & crunchy aromatic fried quinoa. b^^d

Som Tam Crab salad 
Som Tam Crab salad (RM 29)
A Thai style salad which can be tell from the name itself. Made up by generous portion of spicy green papaya slaw with long beans, cherry tomatoes & dried shrimp topped with soft-shell crab & crunchy peanuts, this is for sure one tasty & appealing appetiser. ^^ 

Asian-Style Soft-shell crab spaghettini b^^d
Asian-Style Soft-shell crab spaghettini (RM26)
Springy spaghetti noodles in butter sauce with chilli padi, crispy curry leaves & chilli flakes, and of course a nicely plated soft-shell crab topping. One genuine Plan B signature representing a fusion of East & West. ^^   

Arugula Pesto Spaghettini with seafood b^^d
Arugula Pesto Spaghettini with seafood (RM 22)
A delightful combination of spaghetti with arugula pesto and olive oil, topped with fresh arugula prawn & squid. Love the slimy & slippery smooth texture of spaghetti with a mouthful of arugula & pesto aroma. ^^

Spicy Fish Tacos
Spicy Fish Tacos (RM26)
Crispy fish fingers, salsa & coleslaw wrap via soft tacos, served with equally crispy sweet potato fries.  

Char-Grilled kimchi Chicken Burger 
Char-Grilled kimchi Chicken Burger (RM 23)
Sesame bun with grilled kimchi-marinated chicken leg, butterhead & coleslaw, served with sweet potato fries & side salad. A perfect choice for kimchi lover.

Nasi Lemak Goreng
Nasi Lemak Goreng (RM 26)
Fragrant fried nasi lemak with prawns & long beans, served with standard nasi lemak side dishes including sambal telur, jelatah & keropok.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Buttermilk Fried Chicken (RM 25)
Buttermilk marinated, flour coated fried chicken served with coleslaw & French fries. Pretty crispy & tender fried chicken, the buttermilk flavour isn’t as significant as expected though.
