The Grumpy Cyclist @ TTDI


LATTE - RM 10

Last Saturday morning, I wanted to try out nasi lemak at Santai, TTDI. 

Heard that the nasi lemak was good and the breakfast crowd enjoys the nasi lemak with lauk sotong.

Unfortunately, when we drove by Santai, it was closed for the day :(

Oh well. 

So we went driving around TTDI to find a breakfast spot. 

That's when I spotted The Grumpy Cyclist and told hubby, "Ok there!"


Truth be told, we had to make another HUGE turn around the block since it was a one-way street, aih! 

Luckily for us, when we were about to reach the cafe, a car pulled out of the parking spot so hubby manoeuvred our car into the vacant lot. 

That's when I noticed "Oooh, there's an Indian Cuisine restaurant, owh there's a Chinese Muslim restaurant, aha there's a local Malay restaurant!"

Suddenly, there were tons of choices available for us! 

No no, we should focus and head on in to The Grumpy Cyclist since I've read about this cafe somewhere. 

At that time, all the tables inside the cafe were filled with patrons so we placed our order at the counter, paid for it and headed outside to wait for our food to arrive. 

I felt a bit uncomfortable outside since we were with our toddler and all three of us were huddled on one long bench with an ashtray placed neatly at the end of the same bench. 

I moved the ashtray elsewhere and noticed that the fan wasn't really helping with the heat that was starting to warm up pretty fast. 



I prayed to myself, please please please Lord, have a table available for us soon.

When a couple emerged from the cafe, hubby quickly dashed in to check for an empty table. 

We managed to secure one table (thank you Lord!) and hubby brought in the latte and tea which were already served to us. 







There was a consistent stream of patrons, to the extent that some of the patrons left the place since there were no tables available. 

Frisky Goat has a much better control of managing the crowd as people would be lining up outside the cafe and the servers would usher the crowd in once a table becomes available. 

BIG BREAKFAST (THE GRAN FRONDO) - RM 18

Hearty breakfast meal :)

My latte had that heavy caramel sweetness aftertaste which I didn't fancy but hubby seemed to like it so it's a matter of preference. 

CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES - RM 12

Yummy fluffy pancakes, true to it's description as written on their menu board. 

The portion was huge and our lil' tot managed to finish off 2 slices whereas hubby and I shared a slice each. 













Shower, anyone? :D Yes, you're more than welcome to shower here too! 










I told hubby. 

I'm probably growing old already. 

I've outgrown this cafe hopping business. 

But for bicycle enthusiasts, you'd be welcome here. :)
