Flaon is the latest addition to Chinatown’s burgeoning F&B scene, beckoning dessert lovers and social media shutterbugs alike for a visit. The dessert parlour is named after flan, which is unsurprisingly featured on the menu, along with an assortment of mini cakes that look almost too pretty to eat. Passersby can get a glimpse of its minimal interiors through the organically-shaped glass window, mirroring the curvy furniture and seating arrangement within. Meanwhile, the upper floor—occupied by a wine bar called Coupe de Vin—offers a semi-outdoor space with cosy nooks and tall tables overlooking the bustling street below.

When it comes to the best burnt cheesecakes in KL, The Tokyo Restaurant often comes top of mind. If you agree, you’ll want to stop by Bask in APW Bangsar. Brought to you by the same kitchen behind said Japanese restaurant, this new cake shop specialises in Basque burnt cheesecakes with that signature burnt exterior and creamy, melt-in-your-mouth middle. Pair your indulgent treat with coffee sourced from Curate Coffee Roasters and relax in the rustic space, characterised by a forest green palette and dark wooden furnishings.
