Pinch, 3 Damansara

Boulders and bagels, colourful climbs and calamansi roll cakes: PJ’s new Pinch is a safe stop between rocks in a hard place, serving by the slopes of 3 Damansara’s Batuu Climbing gym. 

Pinch's coffee hits the spot in a caffeine-craving pinch, harnessing a Brazil-Yunnan blend with roasted nutty notes, nicely paired with independently baked Earl Grey roll cakes. 

Flurrē by Fluffed, Petaling Jaya

Flurrē by Fluffed is Taman Universiti’s fun, friendly new cafe for creative bingsu, a cool offshoot of Fluffed Cafe.

Try the Salmon Sashimi Don, a chilled sweet treat inspired by a hot savoury temptation - milky shaved ice instead of steamed rice, fluffy like the first snowfall, draped with mango strawberry jelly strips that evoke sashimi, encircled with mango boba ikura, cushioned with mango cubes and ice cream.

Flurre-exclusive Japanese royal milk tea with brown sugar konjac and parfait, plus bakes like Hokkaido milk cheesecakes, fill out the cheerful selection.
