Chope Chope Kopitiam, Bukit Damansara

Dibs on dry curry mee: Chope Chope Kopitiam brings blasts of culinary nostalgia to Bukit Damansara, spanning classics of loh mai fan to loh shi fun, served with soul and style.

For a laksa love affair, choose the cockle-crammed Katong laksa, featuring thick rice vermicelli with optional extra super-fresh siham, sotong, prawns, shredded chicken and taufu pok in soothingly spiced curry, and fried assam laksa, tossed with sardine, prawns, mint leaves, torch ginger flower and onions.

Chope Chope’s pork-free menu hits many favourites: Chow on chee cheong fun and kai si hor fun with Ipoh-sourced silky noodles, coupled with Ipoh-inspired creme caramel and Ipoh kopi. Sip like it’s 1984 on a Michael Jackson soy milk-grass jelly thriller.

Grains prove gorgeous: Don’t skip the sticky-soft glutinous rice with shredded egg, dried shrimp, peanuts and curry gravy, and succulent-smooth poached chicken leg with ginger rice, with every condiment comfortingly crafted, a timeless testament to the talents of the Tinkermen Collective of restaurants.

Behind Loacker is a legacy that began in 1925, when Alfons Loacker handcrafted his very first wafer in a small pastry shop, 1,000 metres above sea level in Bolzano, Italy.

From those humble Alpine beginnings, Loacker has risen to global acclaim, now enjoyed in over 110 countries.

Loacker has an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. Every wafer and chocolate is made with 100% natural ingredients, with no added flavourings, colours, preservatives or hydrogenated fats. The brand’s signature taste stems from thoughtfully sourced elements: Italian hazelnuts from its own orchards, Non-GMO Alpine milk from South Tyrol, Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, and sustainably harvested cocoa from Ecuador and Côte d’Ivoire.

As Loacker celebrates its centenary, it remains forward-looking, doubling down on sustainable sourcing, recyclable packaging and ethical farming practices, ensuring indulgence can be both blissful and responsible.
