#BUROEats: 7 New cafes and restaurants to order takeaway/delivery in June 2021
Stay safe, support local
As Malaysia enters another full lockdown to flatten the curve of Covid-19, the food and beverage industry has to brace itself yet again for another heavy blow. With most establishments relying primarily on dine-ins for their turnovers, having the option of takeaway, pick-up and/or delivery is often the least these businesses can do to cover overheads.
While we miss the good ol’ days of café hopping and visiting a new eatery, there’s no reason we can’t still #SupportLocal and order in from one of the numerous spots that have cropped up around the Klang Valley. To give our fellow Malaysian foodpreneurs a hand, check out our list of new cafes and restaurants to satisfy your cravings this month.
1. Sucrose Desserts, Imbi
Barely a week old, Sucrose is the new dessert kitchen and counter located on the doorstep of Imbi’s Curee Café. The humble space is founded by pastry chef CK, who returned to KL after cutting his teeth at various hotels in Maldives and Macau. He has even won Gold in the Plated Dessert category at the 11th Edition of the Hotel Asia Exhibition & International Culinary Challenge 2015. The menu currently consists of four desserts: Eva (a chocolate Paris Brest), Audrey (chilled cheese mousse), Liu Ying (cinnamon apple tatin with panna cotta), and Josephine (peanut mousse).
Available for: Takeaway and delivery
Opening hours: 12pm to 8pm (closed on Wednesdays)

A micro-bakery, brunch kitchen and social space in one, bröom is the new kid on the block in Paramount Garden. It is helmed by head baker Ryan Wong, who honed his craft in London and Melbourne before returning to home ground. The cosy establishment offers an assortment of baked goods spanning sourdough, croissants and cookies, as well as lunch boxes and bowls with Malaysian and Japanese influences.

Order here3. Neutrals, TTDI
This sun-washed space in TTDI is brought to you by a collaboration between PJ’s The Roast Things coffee roasters and Bangsar South’s Sunbather Coffee café. The former is responsible for sourcing and roasting the beans that go into Neutrals’ coffee menu, whereas the latter is behind the kitchen that now offers Japanese-style sandwiches and scones. Though the café is not yet ready to cater to delivery, folks in the neighbourhood will be lucky to get a glimpse of the bright, verdant café while getting take-outs here.

Occupying the corner lot behind VCR and next to Bar Pahit, the double-storey residence-turned-café serves up cakes, bakes and brunch accompanied by a decent selection of coffee and tea. There’s also a Happy Meal Menu curated especially for the FMCO, featuring comfort food options such as pastas and sandwiches.

On the menu are breakfast sets featuring its signature croffles, alongside cakes, tarts, and a variety of coffee and tea beverages. The tagline says it all: come for the coffee, stay for the cats.

Expect teddy soft toys for company on the chesterfield sofas or sitting on the wall-mounted chairs perched above tables at the al-fresco dining area. As for the menu, take your pick from the extensive selection of pizzas, burgers, pastas, udons, and rice bowls that reflect a fusion culinary approach. For those concerned, it’s worth noting that the kitchen only uses ingredients sourced from 100 per cent halal-certified suppliers.

Chef-founder Jia Yuan now brings his fan-favourite Chicken Waffle to a humble third-floor corner lot (above PotboyMart) in the bustling locality, best enjoyed with a cuppa Joe, matcha (by Niko Neko) or cold brew.
