Asador Alexander, 1 Utama

Build your own steak with fries and other beefed-up ensembles at 1 Utama’s new Asador Alexander, matching your choice of seared cut with side and sauce.

Back to basics: The wet-aged Angus striploin is skilfully flame-grilled, its confident crust concealing smooth succulence, going great with fresh, fragrant truffle fries, hot and crisp, and beef jus with savoury depth.

Toh Soon Cafe, Bandar Sunway

Penang’s popular Toh Soon Cafe has launched its first Klang Valley offshoot, hoping to bring the rustic charm of Lebuh Campbell and Bishop Street to Bandar Sunway.

The breakfast classics endure: Hainanese toast with salted butter and house-whisked kaya, plus nasi lemak bungkus coupled with kopi-o.

For a contemporary cafe twist, shio pan is baked in-house. Dunk the salt bread into soft-boiled yolks for buttery-eggy enjoyment

Full meals like wok-fired hor fun, beef fried rice and more are available in this soft-launched space.

Bella and Georgy, Damai Road

Looking to launch this weekend, Bella and Georgy is Damai Road’s new bungalow restaurant, likely serving hand-shaped pasta and flame-grilled seafood and meat, a fresh foray into KL’s city centre by The Staple Group that spearheads Staple Dough, Bella Pasta & Wine and Pepe.

Omurise House, Taman Desa

Omurise House is Taman Desa's latest stop for fresh-baked bread and cakes, plus honest staples like kitchen-blended almond butter.

Build your own Sunrise Plate with choices like luscious omu egg, Omurise’s own wholemeal walnut sourdough toast, smoked duck, sautéed mushrooms and thickly creamy almond spread, then linger over velvety-melty burnt cheesecake and lively lemonade.

Omurise House typically opens starting lunchtime, Tuesday to Sunday. Reservations are recommended, particularly on weekends; a friendly two-man team runs the show, serving limited tables at 202, Jalan Desa.
