I’ve heard a lot about Plan B that just opened a few months ago in Bangsar Village I. It always seems like it’s crowded and on this fine weekend, we decided that we’d stop by at tea time to give it a try.
Drink prices are reasonable for this type of establishment and considering it’s just located across from Starbucks, I suppose it had to be at least competitive.
The interior of the place is rather cramped and almost up market “warung” like.
This is the hot latte. We actually order 2 of them one with skim milk and one with regular (for me) but they got the order wrong and they both came as skim. So I swapped for the cappuccino which was supposed to be skim but came with regular milk. A sign of things to come?
The hot cappuccino was actually quite good. Comes with a sliver of biscotti.
The sugar container. Nothing to do with the food, I just liked the lighting on this photo.
We ordered a Raisin Scone which cost RM4. It was served with some creamed butter and jam. The scone was light and fluffy.
We also ordered the Almond Croissant at RM6 which had a lot of almond slices. It was served just plain but was very tasty.
As we sat there having our food, we could not help but feel that the service really sucked. It was like “warung” service in a cafe. We couldn’t help but feel that the waiters were just really off the mark. For example, we were served with food that was supposed to go to another table. Not once, but twice. We also got some change with the bill that was for another table (which we returned of course). Service was completely horrible. There was also a feeling of not being welcome in the place. Actually when we first arrived at the place and were looking for a place to sit, one of the waiters was showing his frustration in trying to find seats for the patrons like he’d had enough of having to seat new patrons coming in. This is the crappy service that we seem to be getting in establishments in KL these days. The fellow below is the main culprit for the bad service (don’t mind the blur photo but I had to show his face).
Overall, I would have to say that Plan B had good food, reasonable decor and horrible service. I’m definitely not coming back.
