This is a little cafe full of natural light pouring in and an attention to simple food. Stuff your Face encourages you to do exactly so albeit a little healthier and your 'mini me's' even have their own menu
On the third floor of Bangsar Shopping Complex, tucked away between Jungle gym, Kiddie art class and a roller-skating rink, is a pretty little café called ‘Stuff Your Face’. I call it pretty because this is exactly what Stuff Your Face is, white washed walls and wooden counter top with an assortment of cookies and cakes on display, big glass doors leading out to a large patio area with white-washed wooden chairs and tables, adorned with pretty little white daisies.
The café is cosy and unpretentious and because it is situated on the newly renovated “Kid’s Floor”, it is one of the few café’s left that is kid friendly, with children’s books and toys strewn merrily on the floor and coloured-in pictures tacked below the counter, a testament to the creativity of little children that often goes beyond the colouring lines.
The menu here is fun and cheeky, with suggestions to ‘stuff your face’ with or to ‘munch on’, simple fare with a little bit of fusion thrown in for good measure. We chose the recommended Hainanese Chicken Chop, the Japanese-Italian inspired Soba Aglio Olio with Prawns and the Cheddar Fish. Other items on the menu include the interestingly named ‘Not Fried Rice’ and their own mini slider burgers. They also have a breakfast menu and special tea-time menu after 3pm.
The Chicken chop was authentic coffee-shop flavor, doused in delicious gravy with fried potatoes, grilled tomatoes and peas. The chicken chop was big enough but we would have liked a bit more potatoes to go along with it. The Soba Aglio Olio was surprisingly satisfying, with a nice flavor which made it quite different from its spaghetti counter-part. The Cheddar Fish was pieces of Dory fillet fried with cheddar till crispy, served with a dollop of mash potato and a scoop of mushy peas. The fish was nicely crisp and the mash was delicious. Overall the portions are quite small, but tasty.
"An Elvis sandwich with banana split, cosmic fantastic!"
We decided to give dessert a go, and we must admit the dessert menu is quite inspiring. We were too scared to try the Fried Mars Bar (yes, you read that right!) so we opted for the Elvis peanut butter and banana sandwich and the classic banana split to share instead. We also ordered some of their signature coffee, served in a traditional moka-pot, enough for two.
My friend commented on how she had forgotten how satisfying a good ol’ banana split can be, and here they serve it just right. 3 scoops of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice-cream, whipped cream, a lil bit of chocolate sauce and a cherry; this was a great end to our meal. The Elvis sandwich was also extremely yummy, toasted bread with banana and peanut butter stuffed in between. We dipped it into our ice-cream and the result was quite cosmic! The coffee too did not disappoint, thick black and full of flavor, and we loved the novel moka pot.
The owner says the café has been open since November, and so far business is okay, but now as the school holidays are over, it's been slow. As the café is tucked away on the children’s floor, it must be quite hard for them to get walk-in customers that are not there specifically with kids, so the location might not be ideal. Still, Stuff your place has a lot of potential and tasty meals, so the next time you are in BSC, it's worth checking this place out.

We've forgotten how good a banana split can be
I think for a true Elvis sandwich, you actually have to fry the bread once you put the spreads in as well. And he used to scoff something like 4 sandwiches or something at a go.
