The Redbean Bag was established by two siblings, they were inspired by Melbourne's coffee scene during their study trip. Hence, the establishment of the coffee joint in Publika where the coffee scene resembles those in Melbourne.
The RedBean Bag is located on the same row as Coffee Stain and Coffee Societe in Publika, but it is located on the first floor instead of ground floor. Its interior is mainly wooden based, cushion and sacks hanging on the wall. Very rustic feeling.
On weekends, anytime after 10am, the place is crowded with the family crowd and youngsters dying to get their breakfast fix. If you don't want to join the crowd, its best if you reached earlier than 10am.

Both the latte and mocha was as good as it looks. Rich, aromatic and the proportions of milk and coffee is at its best. The long black was average with a lack of crema.

Baconia indicates pancakes with bacons and fruit compote. Simple but satisfying. The pancake wasn't great, but satisfying enough with the addition of bacon. The fruit compote was good without being excessively sweet.

| Scramble Eggs with Toast |
I can never comprehend why people would order toast and scramble eggs outside when you could whip up your own scramble eggs. However, I didn't fancy RedBean Bag's scrambled eggs, it wasn't as well season or as fluffy as the ones served in Antipodean.

| French Toast with Almonds and Fruit Compote |
To date, The RedBean Bag whips up a mouthwatering French Toast as compared to many other coffee joints. The bread was coated with almond sliver and eggs. Instead of the typical soft French Toast, you get a crispy exterior and soft bread internally. It was really good. The bread itself was thickly sliced instead of thin which caused most French Toast to be soggy.

| Epitome of a Good Poached Eggs |
I would recommend this poached eggs with portobello as a good breakfast choice. It is filling nonetheless, I could barely finished the toast. The highlight of the whole dish was the balsamic reduction. The balsamic reduction leaves a tingling sensation in your mouth, when consumed together the portobello, eggs and arugula, it is a wonderful combination. The juiciness of the mushroom, the richness of the eggs and blandness of arugula, the balsamic hypes up the taste by a notch.
The RedBean Bag is definitely one of those good place for a hearty breakfast. Their food is nonetheless a typical Melbourne inspired dish, but there is something different in it. Something that makes it less common compared to the other coffee joint.
They served pretty decent lunch and dinner meals too. Although they have limited variety for lunch and dinner, it is worth a try. But perhaps I will cover that in another blog post.
