Ziffy Cafe @ Sunway Nexis Mall, Kota Damansara

Takeaway: Ziffy pairs a pun-packed menu with dishes of varying levels of promise, all plated quite prettily. It’s another in the long line of Klang Valley’s ongoing cafe offerings and may well merit a visit if you’re in the area. We didn’t have anything spectacular during our visit but we do hope they continue working … Read more

Quartet @ Nusentral (Consider the Kiosk)

quartet nusentral nu sentral

The moderately enormous, pungent (from commuter secretions), and not-quite marketed NuSentral mall draws crowds in the region of a hundred thousand each day. That number is likely inaccurate, and irrelevant to the point at hand – the point being that NuSentral is a transportation crossroads and not just a standalone generic mall. It features a … Read more

Battery Acid Club

battery acid club

We went to Battery Acid Club. We had fried sweet potato fritters, miso espresso chicken, coffee and an affogato. We wrote about it. First of all though, it’s probably pertinent to mention that Battery Acid Club has evolved quite a bit since their debut late-2014. Their lofty initial goals remain largely unchanged (to foster a … Read more

J&D Espresso @ Pavilion Elite

Takeaway: J&D Espresso sits quietly at the top of Pavilion Elite and provides a decent post-shopping fuelling station with a generally alright menu – and one delightful pork burger. What’s so elite about Pavilion Elite? Sure, you have COS (probably the best spot for basics at a relatively affordable price point though it’s just that slightly … Read more

Littlepeople and Big Dreams @ Avantas Residences

Takeaway: Littlepeople serves handmade pasta and rice bowls in the serene setting of the corner lot at Avantas Residences along Old Klang Road. It’s worth a trip to. By the time you read this, Littlepeople will have changed substantially – even as we write these words, they’ve revamped their interiors and their menu. Which I suppose says something … Read more

Chocha @ Chinatown – Bar, food, tea, (former) brothel

chocha

Takeaway: As at 22 Oct 2017, Chocha Foodstore is a mixed bag of a cafe. Some dishes were good the last time we tried them (especially the cincalok fried chicken and the cold brewed tea) but others lacked seasoning and spark…and the eye-watering prices added insult to the injury. There’s a neat little bar on … Read more

PULP cafe by Papa Palheta

pulp cafe 3

Takeaway: The first resident of APW before APW became the weekend hotspot it now is. The coffee doesn’t match Chye Seng Huat Hardware but it’s still a pleasant little cafe to spend time at – if you can get a seat, that is! 22 Oct 2017 update: In its current form, Pulp drops down to … Read more
