Tell Me by Picasso Media: Part One

Grain & Leaf, Shah Alam

Grain & Leaf is Shah Alam's family-run place for pizzas and pastas by three sisters and their mother, crafting their own pizza dough and pasta sauces.

For fans of robust pastas, have 'em creamy with chilli flakes, dill and lemon or punchy with salted egg, garlic and chilli oil, topped with smoked salmon and smoked duck respectively.

103 Coffee, Tun Razak Exchange

103 Coffee is soft-launching its sixth space, a sleek but soulful two-level location in TRX with a welcoming sense of heritage and homecoming.

Sip on coolers exclusive to this new timber-framed branch in KL’s urban core: 103’s top-tier team infuses Malaysian and Asian inflections into cold-brew craft from a linear counter that channels coffee-bar theatre.

J Cloud is a soothing pour of Ethiopian anaerobic cold brew with jackfruit and oat milk, capped with foam of clarified jasmine tea. Spark is an expressive refresher of Ethiopian Alo Bacha cold brew, fruit-bright with sparkling cascara, pineapple, yuzu, strawberry and bunga kantan.

Explore 103 Coffee TRX at 13, Jalan Barat today, 7:30am to 6:30pm, then every day beginning this Tuesday. The upper floor will likely be unveiled later next month.

Cafe Conti, Petaling Jaya

Cafe Conti is Section 17’s new weekend brunch room, inspired by hotel continental breakfasts.

Mix and match simple staples for a morning tray: Pancakes with maple syrup, chicken-ham-and-cheese eggy toast, nutty cereals, oatmeal with evoo, crumpets, sunny-side-up eggs, sausages, thick hash browns, mushrooms, soft-boiled eggs, Edam cheese, butter and jam, batch-brew coffee, camomile or orange juice.

Cafe Conti is the daytime doppelgänger of Manisan Dessert Club, for those of us who prefer to indulge while the sun is shining.
