Shan Mu Cafe PJ marks the latest chapter for Shan Mu, soft-launching in Ara Damansara two years after its maiden cafe in Taman Connaught. Suffused with woodcraft and wonder, it’s a welcoming sanctuary for comforting Japanese-inflected fare - succulent curried salmon belly rice with potatoes and crispy nanban chicken sourdough sandwiches, paired with elegant possibilities like Ethiopian single-origins, a Suke Kuto heirloom roasted in Copenhagen, a Mewa Pyramid in Petaling Jaya.
