Breakfast in and around Kuala Lumpur

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You know you would have a great day if you've had a wonderful breakfast.

What is a real breakfast then? Everyone has his or her own ideals and expectations but see if you too agree with this definition from Denny's Restaurant in the US.

Having read that and if you are on a visit to Malaysia, you would no doubt be able to experience all the things stated on Denny's definition of breakfast.

Now, with the many restaurants and cafes in big towns and cities in Malaysia offering affordable breakfast sets in a homey environment, there is no excuse (for visitors and locals alike) to skip that most important meal of the day.

The bigger establishments even offer free wi-fi connection, so on a lazy Sunday morning, you could bring your laptop along and log on while enjoying breakfast, just like you would in the comfort of your own home.

At McDonald’s, for example, they offer free refills of coffee and tea which is included in the breakfast meal set.

For only RM4, enjoy a Sausage McMuffin, which is grilled chicken sausage with cheese in a lightly toasted English muffin and McDonald’s Premium Roast Coffee, made with Arabica beans. How blissful is that?

And if you arrive into KL via KL Sentral, Swiss Oven at KL Sentral serves freshly brewed tea and Arabica bean coffee while the croissants are freshly baked every day. You've got to try their to-die-for scrambled eggs. Set 2 on their breakfast menu is a popular choice among foreign customers. It consists of croissant with scrambled eggs and for only RM4.90.

For most people, breakfast is normally a meal to be had at home.

For the rest, especially those rushing to get to work in the morning, it can be eaten on the go (a sandwich while on the way to work, for example) or in coffee shops and other food outlets, and there are many out there here in Malaysia.
