CRP45 Cafe @ Sri Petaling

CRP45's cloud eggs are dreamy, with ravishingly runny yolks swaddled in foamy-fluffy, meringue-like whites (RM18; served with sweet potato fries and mushrooms) - it certainly makes us wish that cloud eggs had made a bigger splash in KL.

Much of the menu here is a war between virtue and vice - for wholesome grazing, have the house salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, sweetly showered with crushed umeboshi, raisins and sesame seeds (RM13); for a sinful snack, savour the warm, creamy mashed potatoes mixed with salted egg yolk (RM8). Don't skip a slice of the dark chocolate ganache cake, spiked with rum, chocolate chips and coffee mousse (RM18) - it's an indulgent treat.

Beverages also showcase a tempting variety of possibilities, ranging from hand-brewed coffee made with, say, Brazilian beans (RM15 for V60 preparation; RM18 for syphon) to deep, dark German beers.

D.steakhouse @ Bratislava, Slovakia

The name may seem nondescript, but D.steakhouse's meat is not: Expect Slovak-bred Simmental beef, dry-aged for seven weeks in this restaurant, grilled in Josper charcoal ovens. Double up on the bovine bodaciousness with roasted bone marrow.

Kafe Masakan Terengganu Asli @ Bandar Kinrara

Northeastern favourites rule at this fuss-free restaurant run by a Terengganu-origin family - come early for lunchtime specialities like nasi dagang and nasi minyak, or later in the afternoon for a snack of keropok lekor, with flavours that channel a sense of pride in time-honoured culinary traditions.

Kafe Masakan Terengganu Asli

Masjid Bandar Kinrara 5, Jalan BK 5/1, Bandar Kinrara, Kuala Lumpur. Open Tues-Sun, 8am-10pm.

Fatt Kee Roast Duck & Chicken Rice Shop @ Cheras Traders Square

Thirty years after first setting up what became a chicken rice stall in Pudu, the founders of Fatt Kee now finally have a family-run shop to call their own, bringing their beloved roast meats to Cheras.

For the ideal introduction to Fatt Kee, order the special Four-in-One Combo, featuring time-honoured roast duck, roast chicken, crunchy siu yok and crisp-edged char siew with chicken rice (RM16.80). It took a generation to perfect this, and it's encouraging to believe that another generation will continue to enjoy this. Simple, fuss-free satisfaction from start to finish.

The kitchen also offers a reasonable range of soups and Hakka specialities. The pork tail soup, loaded with peanuts, is soulful and fairly priced for RM7, while the pork knuckles with black vinegar might fondly evoke home-cooked meals for many (RM15). No wonder this new restaurant remains bustling long after lunchtime on a weekday.
