Filipo, The MET Corporate Towers

Filipo is The MET Corporate Towers’ new restaurant that fuses Italian and Japanese finesse.

Start with the crudo sampler of aged raw fish, possibly including red snapper, amberjack and mackerel, before relishing risotto with miso baby scallops, lemon butter and corn sofrito.

Ten KL, Glo Damansara

Midtown Manhattan flavours in TTDI: Ten KL has a psychedelic-hued new home in Glo Damansara, with highlights like NYC Rice, channelling halal street-cart heartiness in a bowl of turmeric-spiced buttered rice, blanketed generously with grilled chicken, tomatoes, lettuce and, of course, creamy lashings of garlic white mayo and hot sauce.

Sip N Step, Ampang

Two friendly architects and interior designers are welcoming customers to their office for a new coffee bar experience, Sip N Step in Ampang. 

Espresso-based and filter choices promise a pleasant caffeine fix; a coworking space by Prototype Design will also be integrated here soon. Stop to say happy birthday to the frisky resident pug, Fries, who turns one this month.

Dodici, PARC Subang Jaya

With a Milan-born show-runner, Dodici is PARC Subang’s new spot for pizzas in the park, firing up every Friday to Sunday until late October.

Dodici plans to debut a full-fledged Italian kitchen for pizzas and pastas in PARC before the end of 2025. For now, patrons can preview pizzas every weekend, with beauties like the briny-bright marinara, richly slicked with anchovies, olive oil and tomato sauce.

Offset Cafe, Segambut

Founded by three Sabah-born sisters and their brother, Segambut’s new Offset Cafe is a wonderfully welcoming space, warmly weaving together the siblings’ passions. 

Step inside for music and memories, from a vinyl listening corner that spins vintage charm to a Pokémon card showcase that stirs playful curiosity, framed by leafy, wood-grained cosiness that echoes the family’s nature-filled upbringing in Pekan Beaufort. 

Offset’s bakes feel heartfelt and personal: Savour the shortcrust pot pies reshaped into rolls, cradling a variety of gravy-steeped fillings, and cempedak muffins with a gorgeously fragrant crumb, gently fruity in sweetness.
