Matcha and mixology bloom together at Ari x Gato Tea & Dining, Damansara Perdana’s new garden-fringed, Japanese-inspired cafe by day, cocktail bar by night.
In the morning, snack on crisp ebi katsu sando, layered with house-made lemon jam, garlic tonkatsu sauce and honey mustard mayo.
Match with the Matcha Journey, a tasting flight of three serving styles: The Mini Hot Matcha Latte, velvety-creamy with a grounded earthiness, Coconut Matcha Cloud, two-textured with matcha cloud over coconut water, and Yuzupine Matcha Tonic, an iced pick-me-up that blends matcha, pineapple and yuzu.
Lunch and dinner are for soulful sustenance of soba, somen, udon and chazuke. Sunset sees the rise of cocktails like wasabi vodka with torched tiger prawns, sake-spiked lattes, rum-laced hojicha and more.
Find Ari x Gato Tea & Dining at The Club @ Empire Residence, framed by glass walls beside a reflective pool to exude calm elegance, lovely even on cloudy days.
