#BuroEats: 7 New cafes in KL to visit for January 2019

1. Transparent Coffee

 

If you know Coley Cocktail Bar, you’ll know where to find Transparent Coffee which takes over the space by day. And boy, it’s a gorgeous space with a greenery-adorned entrance. But of course, the highlight is the beans that are sourced directly from the producers. Owned by Joey Mah of Three Little Birds, you can be sure of an extraordinary cuppa. On the side, you can order freshly-baked sourdough served as toast with French butter and other types of spread; as tartines or as traditional sandwiches. 

Address: 6-G, Jalan Abdullah, Bangsar, 59000 Kuala Lumpur

Opening hours: 8am – 5pm, daily

Telephone: 014 333 4521

2. Lucky Tora

 

A modern Japanese diner and bar, Lucky Tora has no difficulty attracting the locals’ attention with its Instagrammable corners and a menu that will have everyone spoilt for choice. From sharing platters to donburis to yakitori to okonomiyaki to sushi rolls, it’s going to be tough to pick just one, two or three things. Our advice: Go in a big group.

Opening hours: 

Mon – Fri: 12pm – 3pm | 5pm – 1am

3. Muse Eatery

 

Happy Mansion has a new, gorgeous tenant! And not only does she house a pretty space—complete with an abundance of green shades and touches of pastel to match—but she also has a menu of cakes, drinks and plenty of comfort food.

4. Soylab

 

How many ways can you drink soymilk? Well, it turns out it’s enough to open a cafe dedicated to it. Soylab serves soymilk, black soymilk, shaved soy ice with toppings, pearl soymilk and our favourite, tau fu fah-style with soymilk and a choice of two toppings.

5. Namelaka Patisserie

 

Tucked away on the first floor of a shop lot on Jalan Telawi is a cafe that offers handcrafted desserts that look like real fruits. But it’s really a crispy chocolate shell encasing a variety of textures within—and that includes real fruits.

6. Chubbeecloud Damansara Uptown

 

Chubbeecloud first started as an online marshmallow customisation service but it has since grown to open a brick-and-mortar store slash cafe. And let’s just say, the cafe is perfect for those who love rainbow colours and anything unicorn-inspired. Beginning January, they’re even serving Grilled Rainbow Happy Toast (yes, like the one that Ipoh has with the stretchy rainbow-coloured cheese) made with natural food colouring.

Address: 85-G, Jalan SS 21/1a, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya

Opening hours:

Tues – Thurs: 12pm – 11pm

7. Super Ramen by rudifook

 

Remember Ru Di Fook Noodle Bar and their menu of local flavours? Well, they’ve ramen-ted (lamented) and switched gears, location and a whole new name. Besides a variety of unique ramen options, they’ve also included a bar offering some pretty good cocktails.

Address: 65 G, Jalan Radin Bagus, Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur

Opening hours: 11am – 2.30pm | 6pm – 1am

Telephone: 03 9548 0876
