Papagi, Taman Melawati

Fresh pasta handmade by three friendly brothers: Papagi rises as Melawati’s new neighbourhood stop for Italian inspirations.

Signatures span fettuccine, crafted with a blend of semolina and double-zero flour, blue-hued with bunga telang, tossed in your choice of sauce, such as Gorgonzola cream. The rotation of pastas also includes pappardelle, garganelli and farfalle.

Pho Lab, Petaling Jaya

Section 17’s new pho shop, Pho Lab is a 10-seat modern noodle bar in Happy Mansion.

The signature pho is blanketed with supple Australian beef slices and chunky slow-cooked beef back rib in a 16-hour beef broth that balances clarity with depth.

Kampung chicken pho is available, plus scallion noodles, herbal duck noodles and beef or chicken ramen.

Pho Lab by DeJane is founded by the folks who run the neighbourhood’s Jane’s Nem and 7AM Cafe.

Crispista, Solaris Dutamas

Solaris Dutamas’ new bakehouse, Crispista crackles with almond croissants and beef kimchi pastries paired with matcha Mont Blanc coolers.

MonoGround Coffee, Alam Impian

MonoGround Coffee is Alam Impian's new cafe for bakes and brews, grounded in easygoing, everyday enjoyment.

Beans currently come from two respected roasters, KIS for black coffee and Curate for milk-based, while croissants are powered by PJ's Contour. 

The Mont Blanc is the citrus-charged choice of espresso with orange juice and orange cold foam; a fuller food menu is planned once the kitchen is ready.
