Kunafa Al Basha, Bukit Jelutong

Craving kunafa? Bukit Jelutong's new Kunafa Al Basha serves in scrumptious style, spearheaded by two Syrian-origin brothers. The shredded phyllo dough is light and crisp, layered with lusciously thick cheese for potent savouriness to balance the sweetness, showered with crushed pistachios and fragrant syrup.

Sugr, Taman Melawati

Sugr is Nadayu 63’s delectable new dessert destination, hitting the sweet spot with well-crafted wonders.

Sugr's key lime pie is lavishly luscious, scrumptious from the pillowy meringue to the  bright lime curd and buttery-crumbly crust. It runs out fast, so seize it if you see it.

Sugr’s selection is sweeping and swoon-worthy: Banoffee pies to banana pudding, beignets to butter tteok, matcha strawberry tiramisu to seri kaya labu and much, much more.

Rasasa, Bangsar South

Rasasa is Bangsar South’s new stop for Malaysian fare that fuses classic flavours with contemporary flair: Vibrant kerabu-style salad of fresh pucuk paku and kacang botol tossed with tiger prawns, cherry tomatoes and crispy anchovies in sambal dressing; smoothly full-bodied chicken croquettes laced with spinach, layered with masak lemak emulsion; and hearty ulam fried rice with shrimp paste, cili padi and spiced fried chicken.

Kid.Coffee, Taman Melawati

Kid Coffee is Melawati’s family-run new spot for lovingly layered scrambled egg toast and beautifully balanced Brazilian single-origin lattes, with Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide playing on the speakers.

Kid Coffee’s name is a nod to chef-founder Akid, as well as the cafe’s child-friendly space with an art activity room for kids, set beside a scene of Bukit Tabur painted by Sarah, Akid’s sister-in-law and Kid Coffee’s co-founder. 

Lemmebe Cafe, Taman United

Lemmebe Cafe is Taman United’s new hideout by couple Han and Cassandra for cosy comfort, home bakes and heartfelt brews.

Look for lovingly personal touches like a hand-crafted clay menu and hand-painted furnishing, channelling the cheery charm and character of a compact coffee shop.

For a fruit-forward brunch, savour the oven-fresh Breeze NZ apple pie with overnight oats and strawberry banana smoothies.

Lemmebe Cafe runs as a six-seat residency up a back-lane slope, every Thursday to Sunday, warmly welcoming walk-ins in a neighbourhood off Old Klang Road.
