For Brunch With The Whole Fam This crowd-favourite in Publika is perfect for brunch with the fam and your pooch. Go for the Benedict III (RM30), where poached eggs sit on fluffy French toast and are served with kale, mushrooms, beef bacon or turkey ham. Fans of pasta will enjoy the colourful Aglio Olio (RM24) tossed with sauteed mushrooms, black olives and tomatoes. Coffee's a must-have, especially the Long Black (RM8) or the Signature Iced White Coffee (RM15) that's good for hot days. Note that only the alfresco area is pet-friendly and water is provided.

Fowl Luck This is probably the one dish I order repeatedly here whenever I’m craving for a simple roast chicken. Roasted thigh leg served with herbed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, olives, mushroom and salsa gravy. The mushroom gravy is quite addictive with a hint of truffle. RM26 per serving.

Alio Oglio When was the last time you saw alio oglio this colourful? It’s as good as it looked. Will definitely come back for this.
