Of course, the real highlight remains to be its wide array of breakfast offerings, which ranges anywhere from light salads to meaty burgers and more. They also offer a big breakfast meal, which is essentially a messy plate of eggs, bacon strips, sausages, toast and veggies.
Pro tip:
If you want to cut back on carbs but want tons of protein, we recommend getting their panko soft-boiled egg and smoked salmon salad. The salmon is super tender and the overall salad is flavoured by their delicious homemade yuzu vinaigrette.

Souka Bakeshop is one of the best bakery shops in Subang Jaya mainly because of its wide selection of enticing cakes. If you’ve ever seen those cartoons where the character starts to levitate after smelling something delicious, that encapsulates our experience here.
What’s great about their selection is that they offer different versions per flavour. For instance, you won’t simply get a chocolate cake, as they offer variations like chocolate muddy cake, Nutella cake, hazelnut torte, chocolate fudge cake, etc.
However, a slice of cake isn’t typically a healthy breakfast, so we recommend it as a dessert after enjoying one of their hot meals. Their meals range anywhere from Western classics like chicken chop to local staples like kampung-style fried rice.
Pro tip:
If you’re not into chocolate, don’t fret! They also offer other flavours like Oreo cookies and cream, peanut butter and our personal favourite: Lotus Biscoff.

Pro tip:
If you’re too late for breakfast, you can get a good deal if you visit between 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM by ordering their lunch set! You can either get their pasta or sandwich but regardless of which, you’re guaranteed to get a free peach or lemon iced tea!

What we love about this specific dim sum spot is that it’s unafraid to experiment. One of the perfect examples of this is their bacon-wrapped dim sum, which is exactly what it sounds like and we must admit, it’s delicious even though we feel like we’re committing a cardinal sin.
They also offer some baos that are filled with so much flavour like their drunken chicken bao. If you’re looking to try something more traditional, however, we recommend getting their chee cheong fun!

Benjy Cafe is another reliable spot to get the best Western food for breakfast. Personally, their steak sandwich stands among the rest but you can easily order anything from their menu and you won’t be disappointed.
If you’re looking for carbs, then a plate of one of their signature pasta should do the trick! One of their best offerings from this menu is their smoked duck carbonara, which is equal parts creamy and savoury.
Before leaving, however, make sure to order their molten lava cake to end your meal on a sweet note! Once you see the dark chocolate sauce pouring outside this cake, consider your diet gone!
Pro tip:
After getting your morning fix of coffee and breakfast, you can order some more desserts by crossing the street and heading to Souka Bake Shop!

One of the things we love about this place is that it puts you in the wheel in just about every aspect of the noodle soup. From the type of the noodle itself down to the sides and toppings, you can personalise your dish as much as you want!
Speaking of sides, there are a handful of them in their menu that’s worth highlighting. One of our favourite things to order here is their deep-fried pork and chicken mushroom soup—both of which are perfect for pairing with the piping hot broth.
