Nabo Space, Cybersouth

Nabo Space is Cybersouth's cosy new stop for shio pan, baked by two childhood friends who've perfected their own recipe based on all the salt bread they've tried and loved.

Each batch takes three hours to craft from start to finish, made with Japanese bread flour, served each evening in limited portions. It's crisp to the bite with a light but satisfying chew; have it plain, in dark chocolate or as the ebi shio pan, topped with prawns purchased fresh from the market everyday, finished with Nabo's house-blended sriracha mayo.

1, Park Place, Cybersouth 53-1, Jalan PP 1/3, Dengkil, Selangor.
Open Tuesday-Sunday, 5pm-12am.

Thai In-Law, Taman Paramount

Thai In-Law is Taman Paramount’s new stall for Thai fare by a Thai-Malaysian couple whose latest destination is O&S Restaurant after spending years as airline crew together.

Touch down for dry tom yam noodles, starring springy sen lek with savoury-tangy seasoning, mounted with minced pork, roasted peanuts, runny egg, baby prawns and bean sprouts for a balance of Thai tastiness.

High-flying heat-seekers, target Thai In-Law’s tom yam mama zaab, indulgent with instant noodles in herb-simmered broth, topped with pork balls, lime, eggs and chillies, with six customisable spice levels.

For sweet stopovers, the sangkaya is smoothly prepared each morning, preservative-free, perfumed with pandan and potent in Thai tea flavours, paired with grilled toast or buns, while the khao niao dam is a comforting classic of warm, thick glutinous black rice with fragrantly salted coconut cream and coconut ice cream.

La Chacjo, Setia Alam

Setia Alam's new La Chacjo brings together a creative pizzeria and a caffeine counter.

Try the Pizza Flight, a box of two six-inch wood-fired pizzas, perfect for sampling, fun to fold and munch in merry mouthfuls.

Playful pizzas include the carbonara-inspired Yumbonara, crowned with creamy egg yolk, cream cheese, chicken ham, mozzarella, mushrooms and basil, and the Ayam Gepuk, loaded with crispy fried chicken, burnt cabbage and spicy sambal. Hot, hearty and flavourful.

Pair with the Matcha Cold Foam, layered over coconut water for an irresistible refreshment.

Preview: Shiobee, Petaling Jaya

Launching next month, Shiobee beautifully reimagines a six-decade-old PJ bungalow as a Malaysian interpretation of the classic Korean hanok.

Still a work in progress framed by gravel and gabion, Shiobee is shaping up to be a striking setting in Section 12 for house-baked salt bread and creative brunch fare with contemporary Korean inspirations.

Shiobee’s founders travelled to South Korea to study traditional hanok architecture firsthand. Here, they infuse principles that have shaped Korean homes for centuries: Harmony with nature, seamlessly and serenely flowing between indoors and outside beneath low-slung tiled roofs in a palette of stone, earth and timber tones.
