Officially opening soon, A Long Table is well worth a long afternoon, offering a contemplative escape, partly influenced by Japanese teahouse traditions.

A side project of The Objects Store in REXKL UP, this evolving space balances practicality with poetry, reflecting inspirations from its founders' travels, embodying shibumi, a state of understated beauty. 

Its friendly team patiently brews a seasonal selection of green tea, most recently sourced from Kyoto's YUGEN, spanning single-origin sencha to gyokuro. Coffee is also available.

Sit by the gorgeously grained communal table, sip slowly, and watch shards of sunlight shift past the vases and lamps inside or the rains fall outdoors.

Sencha might be served in two thoughtful pours: The first at room temperature, delivering a deep umami intensity; the second steamy with a grassy, vegetal uplift. Pairings to enhance the experience could include slow-baked pear, delicately sliced.

A Long Table is now a work in progress, with more chairs and window shades to come, setting the stage perhaps for breakfast clubs and sunset socials.

Eternyl Vinyl Cafe, Sea Park

Headphones and hojicha: Eternyl Vinyl Cafe is an immersive vinyl listening cafe that looks to launch 25 July in Sea Park, harmonising lattes with lush melodies. Turntables on each table encourage a tactile experience, amid amber-lit atmospherics where the crackle of musical memory meets cinematic melancholy, wrapped on walls of sound where Jeff Buckley endures eternal.

Peu Peu is the new kitchen of The Très Hotel, featuring flavourful fare: Go green with linguine in lip-smacking, house-blended basil pesto, playful with crisp tempura-battered leeks, paired with a tropically perky pineapple juice matcha cooler.

Ground Coffee Roasters has a new base, moving from Damansara Utama to Bandar Sri Damansara.

This remains a homely roastery-cafe with leafy views of the neighbourhood, more spacious and soothing than before, cosy for caffeinated breaks, latte art throwdowns and other events.

Speciality creations include Experiment 002, a blend of cold-brewed coffee with English breakfast tea, brightened with mango and lime; the Black Mac espresso layered with macchiato foam and chocolate powder; and a Cloud series that spans frothy takes on hojicha, chocolate and more.

TTDI’s new Big Black Coffee brings a Thai perspective to the cafe experience.

Signature cold brews harness coffee from Thailand’s northern Nan and Chiang Mai provinces, the former medium-roasted with notes of rose and lychee, the latter lighter with a strawberry profile.

Fresh-fried fare features lusciously crisp, steaming-hot satisfaction: Tender sesame toasts stuffed with plump prawns, plus Thai-style crackly chicken with sticky rice.

Fun fact: Big Black Coffee’s chef-founder pays tribute in his menu to his partially Thai family heritage.
