BEAN BROTHERS @ SUNWAY DAMANSARA
October 13, 2016Met up with my Bestie last Saturday - a catch up of what we have been up to over the past few weeks, and the location this time was at Bean Brothers. Bean Brothers is a Korean-operated coffee bar tugged deep on a secluded street in Sunway Damansara. Operating in a huge two-level factory lot, this raw and rustic-style cafe with plenty of natural light during the day makes it a big hit for people who enjoy taking photos for social media. Got to this place with the help of Waze/GPS Navigation app (Made a wrong turning - one turning earlier than the right one.. Oops!). No idea why Bean Brothers Malaysia chose such a hidden industrial area instead of in shopping malls, but I guess good things are worth searching for?

 |
| The cafe is filled with intricate photogenic corners, so it's time to put your creativity to the test :P |
 |
| The upper floor is constructed with a hollowed center, overlooking the counter downstairs. |
 |
| Seats go around the 360° hollowed area, allowing patrons to have a bird-eye view of the baristas at work. |
 |
| Can't imagine this is what the outside looks like, right? Haha. |
Coffee is taken seriously here, with beans roasted in Bean Brothers' home nation. The House-blend: Black Suit (nutty flavored) and Velvet White (fruity tea-like), covers for both black and white. Each serving of coffee costs RM12, whether it's black or white. Foodwise, they serve the cafe's own-baked cakes/tarts/cookies and a limited selection of brunch dishes. Please do take note that the kitchen closes at 4.30pm! As we were wondering what to order, one of the friendly barristas recommended us the Asbaragus and the Earl Grey tart. Since Bestie had already eaten, she took the tart and I went with the Asbaragus, besides a Black Suit flat white and a Velvet White flat white. Collected our drinks and tart when the buzzer vibrated and were told that they would send my brunch over when it's ready.
I love Earl Grey. I have had innumerable cups of Earl Grey tea, which, it seems, I just can’t get enough of. I love drinking it without milk and sugar, simply enjoying the lemon aroma, delicate smoky and fragrant taste of this black tea. But for this tart, the outcome wasn't what I expected. I felt the tea was overwhelmed by the dark chocolate taste. The texture of the dark chocolate ganache filling was smooth, but the flavor of the tea did not shine as I had hoped.

| The two flat whites (Top: Black Suit and bottom: Velvet White) + tart. |
 |
| I preferred the Velvet White. It's slightly sweeter and smoother. |
 |
| The Earl Grey tart (RM13). |
 |
| Seemed more like a chocolate tart with finely chopped tea leaves, added directly to the cream topping. |
 |
| Asbaragus (RM30). |
 |
| Bacon wrapped asparagus, served with a slice of toast bread, poached egg and salad. |
Overall, service was friendly (There were a couple of good looking staffs too. Hehe) and coffee was good. Try their Velvet White, loved it! So, if you like to go somewhere hidden to chill, enjoy some good coffee and take lotsa photos, try Bean Brothers!
