Everyone needs an all-day breakfast eating seat on their inventory of go-to eateries; consider The Metal Box a rigid contender. Chef Ryan has made purpose of his creative license, reworking the traditional Western breakfast dishes amongst touches of Japanese flair, too surprising additions of alcohol.
We sampled 3 breakfast entrees, a hot chocolate (RM10.90), too cappuccino (RM9.90) to start with. Both the ‘cuppas’ were done right, the quondam non also sweet, amongst a rich too slightly bitter chocolate taste, too the latter jibe for whatsoever connoisseur.

The Hemingway (RM18.90) was a prissy delivery on ii poached eggs over a freshly based (in-house) croissant amongst smoked salmon too babe spinach. Japanese-inspired twists included okaka shavings too aonoriko flakes, amongst a generous helping of hollandaise sauce over the works. As 1 of my favorite breakfast combinations of eggs, salmon, too spinach, coupled amongst the subtle hint of seaweed, this dish worked well.

Next nosotros tasted Metal Box’s Baked Egg (RM 18.90). Served inward a bowl amongst ii slices of fresh whole-wheat toast on the side, I enjoyed the inclusion of cannellini beans, eggplant too potatoes amongst the eggs, all swimming inward a creamy pureed tomato plant sauce, topped amongst cheese. Comfort food, indeed, whether eaten at 10:00 inward the morn or 10:00 at night.

We progressed from savory to sugariness amongst the Guinness Pancakes (RM 15.90). Traditional lite too fluffy, medium-sized pancakes, served amongst a mix of fresh berries on transcend too a “shot” of Gula Melaka amongst Guinness on the side, this was a successful dish amongst a twist. We suggested that Chef Ryan bottle the sweet, molasses-like sauce, every bit it was the highlight of the dish.

Moving beyond breakfast, our little grouping gave a unanimous thumbs-up to the Beef Ragout Pasta (RM 21.90). Unassuming penne pasta tossed amongst strip loin beef from Australia, mushrooms, too grated parmesan cheese, at that spot was a surprisingly rich too savory gravy flavour to this entrée that hitting the spot.

To complement the pasta, nosotros enjoyed a uncomplicated Tomato Salad (RM 14.90) amongst mesclun greens, fresh too juicy tomato plant slices, mozzarella cheese, too 10-year aged balsamic vinegar amongst olive oil. Coming from the the world of New Jersey, USA, where flavorful summertime tomatoes are difficult to beat, too believing that a uncomplicated salad amongst fresh ingredients is the best type of salad, I was a fan of this salad too encourage it amongst whatsoever entrée on the menu.

However, nosotros seemed to salve the best for last, every bit our concluding dish of the even out was the newly offered C-Bass (RM 26.90). Served amongst a Japanese soy glaze too pan-fried amongst roasted potatoes, mushrooms, too broccoli rabe greens, the fish was cooked to perfection, soft too flakey off the fork. This repast was a truthful testimony to Chef Ryan’s wishing to exercise uncomplicated entrees amongst a focus on quality. Fresh too tasty.
