The French connection: With Edith Piaf playing on the speakers, and croissants, madeleines and mini spinach quiches in the showcase, the new Le Gouter seems like a secret slice of Saint-Etienne in KL.
This casually charming bakery-cafe is helmed by three Malaysians - Lyndssey, Justine and Wei Yen - who are married to Frenchmen and whose children study at the nearby French School of Kuala Lumpur. Tucked calmly in a condominium, it could become a hotbed of happiness for fans of baked European fare from the neighbourhood and beyond, with everything from rustic loaves to chocolate cakes and peach tarts represented.
G-11, Sutramas Condominium, Jalan Dutamas Melati, Segambut, Kuala Lumpur.
