Breakfast in JB: Discovering Belly Good

It was an early morning in the Tebrau area, and we decided to try our luck at Belly Good Cafe. After finally getting the chance to visit, I was quite curious about what this eatery had to offer.

Initially, I thought Belly Good Cafe leaned more towards Vietnamese cuisine, given its menu offerings. To my surprise, it turned out to be quite different from what I had imagined, with traditional Chinese breakfast options taking centre stage. Well, first impressions can certainly be misleading! Time to see what was on the breakfast menu.

The interior was pleasant, spacious and comfortably furnished, with plenty of seating options. The combination of yellow metal chairs and darker seating gave the cafe a casual dining atmosphere. It was a comfortable setting for a relaxed breakfast.

We went for the Belly Good Trio Set, which came with Butter Kaya Toast, two Half-Boiled Kampung Eggs and a cup of Nanyang Kopi for RM 8.50. Interestingly, the kopi was served with a few little biscuits on the saucer, a nice little touch.

The Kampung Eggs were creamy and fresh, with a noticeably different taste and texture compared to the regular eggs we usually have back home.

The Butter Kaya Toast was generally good, with crispy bites and a familiar kaya-butter combination.

A simple and comforting bowl of Century Egg Minced Pork Congee. The smooth, silky congee was topped with beautifully arranged slices of century egg, chopped spring onions and crispy fried shallots. Simple in flavour, yet a comforting choice for a warm and satisfying meal.

A comforting local-style combination that reminds us of the familiar flavours we enjoy back in Singapore. The handmade yam cake was soft and savoury, while the Chee Cheong Fun came generously coated in sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Paired with a side of chilli sauce, it made a simple yet satisfying meal. Sometimes, it's these familiar local flavours that hit the spot!
