Chiefeater VK had a nostalgic Hainanese cafe experience at Khoon Pastry House on Jalan Argyll, George Town


Big Breakfast
Ara Damansara’s café architecture continues to evolve in fascinating directions, and BiJOU Cafe stands out as a visually arresting marvel. Flooded with natural morning sunlight through its high, expansive glass roofing, the space features a striking warehouse-style layout complete with vibrant loft graffiti and a sleek spiral staircase. It is an inspiring backdrop for a morning pitstop, where the environment prepares you for a thoughtful culinary session.

I settled in with their Big Brekkie, a generously portioned platter that hits the table at RM28.00. When it arrived, the scrambled eggs initially raised a minor flag—they lacked that glossy, perfectly uniform restaurant aesthetic and didn’t look particularly great.

However, the first forkful proved that appearances can be deceiving; they were seasoned well and tasted perfectly alright. The real protein highlight of the plate was the beef bacon, which carried a deep, smoky cure and avoided the brittle dryness that so often ruins café versions.

The pleasant surprises extended into the liquid refreshments. The Flat White was a technically precise pour, boasting a smooth, velvet microfoam and a well-balanced bean profile that avoided any harsh bitterness. It turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable cup, capping off a solid morning assembly where execution ultimately won over visual presentation.

Big Brekkie: RM28.00
White (Flat White): RM10.00
Total: RM38.00
Average per pax: RM38.00 (1 pax)
Score: 7.8/10
M – Meal Value
At RM38.00 net for a comprehensive breakfast platter and a premium flat white, the utility value here is strong for the Ara Damansara neighborhood. The generous portion size easily satisfies a hearty morning appetite.
Score: 8.0/10
V – Venue & Vibes
The architectural layout is a massive asset. The combination of soaring ceilings, bright daylight, industrial concrete textures, and modern street art elements creates an energetic yet completely unhurried vibe that is perfect for a solo morning session.
Score: 8.5/10
X – X-Factor
The X-factor belongs to the high-volume natural lighting. Sitting under that open glass pavilion (provided the weather is not too hot) feels incredibly open and refreshing, turning what could be a standard café breakfast into an immersive daylight experience.
Score: 7.5/10
