Review: Anya Kitchen at Southgate and The Grizzly Bear at Paramount Garden

Visiting two no-frills, no-fuss venues for protein-packed meals, starting with Anya Kitchen at the Southgate commercial centre.

1. Anya Kitchen

Burgers

Rosemary-tinged marinated chicken burger with thigh meat, fried egg, cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers (RM12.90). The bun’s a bit too mass-market, but this works well enough to satisfy a simple (read: non-hipster) burger craving.

Noodles

Roast pork with noodles and egg (RM10.90). Soul food that might hit the spot for certain customers on stress-filled afternoons.

Pizza

Egg emerges again for the final course, conspiring with pork bacon, basil and capsicum to create a satisfactory pizza for RM15.

2. The Grizzly Bear

Next up, The Grizzly Bear at Taman Paramount, which serves a mean range of meaty specialities spanning lamb chops to chicken chops.

Breakfast

The big breakfast is basic but it isn’t bad; there’s a plump sausage, plus a substantial omelette (more egg! it’s all about the albumin for this entry) stuffed with cheese and more sausage meat, partnered with baked beans, fries, toast and a salad. RM18.

Could this feed a hungry bear? It sure left us feeling ready to head into hibernation.

Juices

Mixed juices are among the highlights here. Combine, say, lime with celery. RM8.
