Nostalgic Hainanese Experience at Khoon Pastry House

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


Western, Pork-Free
Timothy is another restaurant opened by the team that opened Mingle KL. Timothy operates from a pre-war building in the middle of Jalan Tun HS Lee (formerly known as High Street – even I can’t remember that name. I remember it being called Jalan Bandar, though). Their decor I won’t dwell on as it’s already an IG darling.

We were down in KL early on a weekend and Timothy is one of several cafes that is thankfully open for breakfast at 8 am. The two of us shared a Big Breakfast (RM38++). The Big Breakfast came with a choice of Beef or Chicken Sausage, 2 Fried Eggs, Sautéed Mushrooms with half a Tomato, half an Avocado, Baked Beans and a slice of Toasted Sourdough with butter.
I liked the beef sausage. Personally I don’t think avocados add any flavour to my breakfast. Other than it being touted as a super food, I have yet to find enjoyment in an avocado when its not served as the integral part of a good guacamole. The baked beans had a nice spicy flavour and a firm bite to it.
I noticed that they serve handmade pasta, so Timothy warrants a second discovery visit for that alone.
PSA – parking around this area is very expensive. It is best to take a train to get down here (provided the train is working) It was that expensive parking that led me to make full use of my 2 hours there and I became a tourist in old KL city taking pictures of the river and the buildings around it.
