Laze & Munch, Taman Abadi Indah

Come for distinctive desserts and drinks, stay for Kuri the cat: Laze & Munch is a lovely new hideout near Taman Desa for luscious layers of flavour.

Founder Regina runs a one-woman cafe for creative concoctions like the Chocolate Chestnut Tiramisu; After Kiss, a duet of mabroom dates with bold-cut butter, peanut butter and sea salt; and Shinano fresh lime cream with miso, nori and crackers.

Sip the Early Autumn hojicha with slow-stewed osmanthus apple and coconut foam while Fiona Apple sings on the speakers and Kuri (Japanese for chestnut) lazes on the sofa.
