Sept, Seventeen Mall

Sept is Seventeen Mall’s new cafe-bistro for Japanese comfort fare, by the team behind N.I.C.E. Bistronome, THB Bistronome and Mala Bistronome.

By day, sandos and stir-fried udon bring simple cheer to this bright, buoyant space. Soon after, sushi rolls and rice bowls ease us into the evening’s rhythm.

Savour the thick, tenderly meaty beef hamburg with onsen egg and the flavourful depth of beef jus for a gentle French flourish, plus satiny-custardy unagi chawanmushi for hot, heartwarming satisfaction.

Changkat Putrajaya, Putrajaya

Changkat Putrajaya is one of the new eateries found along Putrajaya’s famous Putra Bridge, offering a plethora of desserts and drinks that make it a perfect pit stop on a scorching day. 

Their current speciality is the Apple Pudding; green apple bits, cookie crumbs, cream and cinnamon come together to create a soft and lush dessert where every bit has a plethora of textures that feel sour, smoky, with a hint of sweetness.

Day For It, Cyberjaya

Cyberjaya’s new Day For It distils a Dublin dream into a fresh dawn for a Malaysian husband-and-wife team, returning home after years of working in Ireland.

For a limited time, espressos here harness the El Salvador La Ilusión roasted by Ireland’s 3fe Coffee, bringing punchy-silky notes of red apples and dates to lattes, bridging the past and present of Day For It’s Malik, who previously worked at 3fe. Also currently available is 3fe’s Nicaragua El Limoncillo, recommended for long blacks.

Day For It’s house single-origin is a Brazil Norte Pioneiro by Subang’s Simple Matter Coffee Co, boldly nutty with caramelised chocolatiness.

Also munch on madeleines, home-baked with Malik and Intan’s secret batter recipe, sweetly feathery-fluffy and fragrant.

Enzo Italian Cucina, Petaling Jaya

Enzo Italian Cuisine is Section 13's new kitchen by Naples-origin chef Enzo Dente, a decades-long familiar face for PJ fans of Italian cuisine, ranging from Buonasera to Verona Trattoria. 

Try the house-made, hearty ravioli and gnocchi with plenty of pork, the former loaded with luscious pork belly, spinach, olives and roast capsicum, the latter with pork bacon in robust Gorgonzola-tomato sauce.
