A Dreamy Bmon Café
The
moment I stepped into Bmon Café, I
knew I would have a great time. It’s the aura that Bmon Café projects through its utterly dreamy and cute interior
that greets everyone comfortably. There is just so much to see at Bmon Café. It’s like walking into a
world of comical cuteness with much happiness in the air.
Located
in the less bustling area of Kota Damansara,
Bmon Café is the brainchild of brothers Roy and Travis. The café is named
after a cartoon character Bmon created by Roy. Roy is also the talented artist
that is responsible for all the paintings of Bmon in the café. Based on his favorite cartoon DoraEmon, Roy created Bmon which in chinese means 必梦. It
means that that everyone should have a dream and go after it to make it come
true. If you want to find out more about Bmon,
check out their FB here.
Bmon Café is quite discreet in location. It
is located above the rows of shoplot at The Strand Kota Damansara. As soon as
you enter the café, you will be amazed at how cheery and bright the café is.
The café is very spacious with only handful of table seating.
There
is an area for sofa and low coffee table to chill out or there is another
section where one can simply hangout on the floor seating at a very cozy room
filled with pretty cool painting of Bmon and his friends. The floor has lots of
pillow for comfort and there is even a swing chair which our kids enjoyed so
much.
There
is another section with two chairs and a wall painted with a tree hanging with
lots of Bmon framed pictures. Lots
of adorable knick knacks added charm. There is a long bar facing that room together
with a chiller for cakes and cold desserts. I also liked the brick wall behind
the bar with the Bmon logo on the wall. There is a lot of décor everywhere but
it jives beautifully. Bmon Café makes
everyone want to hang out there.
The
menu at Bmon Cafe is also fairly
simple and very affordable. There are plenty of food and drinks to keep many of
us adults and kids sufficiently happy. I like how all their hot beverages are
served in their own super cute mugs completed with coffee art. You can actually
buy their mugs and I was certainly tempted too!
Hot
beverages include coffee, tea and other beverages. We had their Ruby Mocha, Bmon Plants (RM13), Hot Chocolate (RM10), Green Tea Latte (RM11) and Honey Milk (RM9). I stole a sip of my
little one’s Hot Chocolate and boy was it yummy with a good balance of cocoa
and milk.
For
tea lovers, there are also flower teas and we all had their Purple Rose Tea (RM12 per pot). The
gentle flowery aroma was soothing in the tea mix.
Since
we were there during Christmas, we got to try their Holiday Beverages – Iced Ruby Mocha, Godfather & Lulu Berry.
I don’t have the price for these but I do appreciate the creative festive
drinks. Other cold drinks include Lemon
Ice Soda (RM8) and my Iced Macchiato
(RM8).
The
owners are really smart to offer simple housemade food. For now, there may be a
limited menu but Travis and Roy is working on to add more later. Our salad of Fruit Mayo (RM10.90) is pretty good. It
has lots of crisp greens with some vegetables, fruits, croutons and raisins all
dressed in a light sweet mayo dressing.
The
All Day Breakfast Set (RM16.90) is delicious!
For that price, it is certainly a hearty breakie of sausage, bacon, eggs, mushrooms,
baked bean, hash brown, toast and a side of greens. Everything is well prepared
and though there is nothing special about it, I would be happy with this plate
anytime. It is just good classic prepared well.
Bmon Café also has wraps and sandwiches to
cater to those who enjoy light meals. Mushroom
Wrap (RM12.90) and Tuna Wrap
(RM12.90) are a lighter version since the tortilla wraps is less heavy than
regular bread. The sautéed mushrooms is scrumptious with its soft earthy
flavours while the tuna is creamy and tasty. One can opt for croissant for
these and so we also tried their croissant sandwiches of Tuna
Sandwich (RM13.90) and Turkey Ham
Sandwich (RM14.90). I like the idea of using croissant as there is the
added bonus of buttery pastry with the fillings.
Pizza
is also available and Bmon Café’s
pizza uses tortilla as the base. Our Mushroom
Pizza (RM13.90) and Hawaiian Pizza
(RM13.90) are thin and crispy with a light tomato sauce, filling and sprinkling
of cheese. As one can see, they are pretty generous with the filling. I thought
the tortilla was a bit too thin to hold all the filling and I miss the bread
base but its not significant since the filling is very delicious.
Though
Bmon Café does offer many choices of
pasta but what they offered are classics and always everyone’s favorites.
For
less than fourteen ringgit, one gets a generous portion of hearty Chicken Mushroom Carbonara (RM13.90)
and Chicken/Beef Bolognese (RM13.90).
The pasta was cooked al dente to my liking while the sauces for both are light
and hearty. I can taste the element of homecooking here. Enjoying this pasta
won’t leave you with heaviness as the sauces are flavourful and light. The sauces
also have lots of meat so the dish is quite filling. I would order the pasta
here for its light and comforting notes.
Hippo In a Pool (RM14.90) was one of my favorite
dish that night. Serving only limited portions a day, the cutely coined dish is
actually a crumbed and deep fried potato croquette served with hard-boiled egg,
ham, crispy crab stick, corn, chicken floss, greens and a special cheese sauce.
Looking deliriously fattening, I didn’t mind this one bit and tuck in happily.
I really enjoyed the whole dish except for the egg which I felt was a bit odd
in the dish. The creamy potato croquette went very well with the cheese sauce
and I kept going back for more.
Desserts
it seems are also Bmon Café’s forte.
We had their Waffle with Ice Cream &
Fruits (RM12.90), Waffle Sensation
(RM14.90) and Chocolate Mud with Ice
Cream (RM10).
The
waffles are good! If you wish to come here just for coffee and waffles, I would
highly recommend it. The crisp waffles are eggy and aromatic. There are quite a
few toppings so pick your favorite. Ours was good with the ice cream and
fruits. The chocolate mud with ice cream is also very good and comes with a
chocolate painted Bmon!
Bmon
Café is truly one
of a kind! I like their concept and the sheer simplicity of what they serve.
Both Roy and Travis obviously made lots of effort in the décor. It’s a perfect
place for hangouts, fun parties and certainly a good place for dessert and
drinks! Plus points for Bmon Café include
10% discount for students and there is no service charge.
