Checking out a couple of cafes, starting with Mont Kiara's Pipers, a nice neighborhood hangout for casual lunches & leisurely dinners.
Pipers' luscious layers: hand-picked crab meat, chopped avocados, tomatoes & roe-topped cream combine for flavorsome comfort cuisine.
Wild mushrooms with crispy noodles & mizuna leaves. Meat-free but nonetheless satisfying.
Asparagus risotto with a welcome surprise: crunchy battered spears & onion rings.
Wine & cocktails are available to accompany Pipers' well-prepared nourishment.
Note: Pipers replaced what was formerly Mont Kiara's Savory Bistro. It's also a performance arts venue, sometimes hosting classical music recitals & open-mic gigs.

Next up, La Taverna, tucked away somewhere off ... the Sprint highway? Or is it Kayu Ara? Damansara Jaya? Bandar Utama?
Tapas are among La Taverna's attractions. Asparagus & scrambled eggs with beef bacon might be something found in a workman's eatery on a Madrid backstreet.
For the carnivore: Beef, marinated in balsamic vinegar, braised in red wine.
La Taverna's lamb cheeseburger boasts a house-made 100-gram patty. Request a runny egg.
Cocktails & wine are all available at La Taverna too.
