Hmm, this is my personal opinion, but I seriously don't think that this place worth all the rave on it.
My poor sister arrived early and waited for about 40 minutes for our table.
The menu has limited choices, and my sister didn't even finished her food because it doesn't suit her taste. Since everyone has different ways of defining whether the food are delicious for them or not,
I'm not going to comment further but they are definitely not my cup of tea.
Also, since I don't take beef, I guess that makes my choice of food even more limited.
*有时候，我的胃是婢女胃*
Even so, the atmosphere in there is not comfortable for me as well.
Also, it's kinda hot and really noisy in there. Imagine the loud music, we trying to talk, and other customers talking all at the same time.
Maybe because it's CNY period and that's why it was so crowded. I don't know.
We went because my cousin said that her friends have been talking about APW Bangsar so often that it makes her wanting to check this place out.
So I'm guessing that their business are busy even if it's not during weekends, holidays, and CNY.
Honestly, this was also the first time that we didn't order any dessert to share in our yearly #gnoel outings as I reviewed the pictures we took.
We always tried to meet during CNY because that's when we can have everyone in the outing and I do have high expectations on where and what we eat actually.
This is because we wanted to really enjoy ourselves and we rarely have this opportunity.
Therefore, the fact that we didn't order dessert is really surprising for me because we usually do.
I don't know why, but as I tried recalling, perhaps it was because of that uncomfortable atmosphere or because of the food that we were trying to get out of that place asap. Also maybe because my cousins were rushing home since he has a flight to catch that night itself.
This is funny, I know.
In terms of the price, it's the typical pricing for any hipster cafe nowadays. I can't complain about it.
But it could have been better if they didn't arrange the tables to be so close to each other that it was so difficult to walk around and making that place so crowded and noisy when it's full house.
Of course I understand about maximizing profit and etc., but I just hope that they might consider the level of comfort and experience of their customers as well in the future.
For me, the serendipity of a cafe is also important for me after the most important thing: the quality of the food (how delicious they are).
To be fair, their service are not bad because they do respond to our requests.
All in all, it wasn't a pleasant experience for me in that Breakfast Thieves.
However, I do agree that it's a great place to take Instagram worthy photos though,
looked at what we did while we're trying to snap some #instaworthy photos.
My sister left more than half of these.

Yup, the 6 of us with their second generations!

On the other hand, I'm still learning...
We did have fun and that, makes my trip there worthwhile.
My cousin also came to my house during the night to join us for a simple 拜天宫 since my sister-in-law is still in her confinement. While my cousin is on his way back to Melbourne.
By the way, just to warn you guys ahead, it's not easy to get parking there unless you go for the RM7 per entry across APW. Even if you've found a road side parking, don't be happy just yet, because you need to pay RM1 per hour by coins ONLY.
Yes, do prepare coins ahead if you're planning on going there.
Or, just pay that RM7.
My dad often asked and told me that since you're going to such an expensive place, why would you still care about the parking fees and it's not like you can't afford it anyway?
For me, it is also important if a cafe has convenient parking spaces and the parking rate matters as well. It just affect my impression on that place as a whole.
After all, why would I visit such a place when I have to go through so much hassles and adding to that, I have to deal with food that actually disappoints me, right?
If that's the case, why don't I just meet them in any shopping malls instead right?
However, in the end of the day, it's the people we meet that are more important than the food and place.
But if we have great accompany with great food and environment, wouldn't it makes everything better?
On the contrary, if I don't try it out for once, how would I know if that place is worth going or not?
Hence, this long post.
And I really wonder why would people wait in such a long line?
Probably because of all the good reviews online I guess?
Will they be disappointed like me?
One last thing to share, after finished watching the drama "Goblin", I really like one of the sentences from the drama.
“天气好的时候，天气不好的时候，天气刚刚好的时候。”
I really like the last part of the sentence where it say when the weather is at the moderate level or "right" level.
This is because regardless of good or bad, anytime can be the "right" time, I think.
Perhaps I was also hoping that we can meet when things are at their moderate levels rather than having an unrealistic expectations on how our gatherings should always turn out to be great.
Despite the not so great food and atmosphere, I cannot deny the fact that we still had fun actually!
IT could be the fact that because I'm with the "right" people!
