1. The Bread Shop
In a world of inexorable changes, The Bread Shop, now seven years old, remains comfortingly the same beloved neighbourhood bakery-café, bustling for weekday lunches and an oasis of calm for tea. You’ll still find the original Bananascotch pastry, plus lemony cupcakes, hot cross buns, croissants, scones, kouign-amann, various tarts and sandwiches (roast beef, smoked chicken, melted cheese and more, served with salads).

Stoke’s rustic elegance evokes a French wine cellar, and its oven-powered oeuvre that sparkles with steaks, seafood and much, much more. Mild-mannered executive chef Yu Yao oversees a 300-kilogramme British-built Bertha oven, carefully cooking everything from meat to vegetables at soaring temperatures of up to 600 degrees Celsius to lock in moisture & flavour while imbuing a smoky char in the produce.
Soul food and cocktails: Mr Tush is one of Plaza Damansara’s newest entries, showcasing exciting inspirations from across the globe – expect Indochinese influences to share space with revamped recipes that borrow cues from the Middle East and India, like a Bombay-spiced sloppy joe and a chai whiskey sour.
The kitchen at this inventive new global tapas bar puts playful twists on petite samplings – Singapore-style chilli prawns in a sweet-spicy, dunk-worthy sauce with fried mantous; an Indian-inflected dabeli tart with a warm centre of creamy masala potatoes crowned with crunchy pomegranates, celery and coriander; steamed turmeric rice made flavoursome with minced pork, garlic sauce and pickled shallots; an eight-inch char siu pork pizza rich with cheddar, mozzarella, BBQ sauce, kyuri and spring onions; and best of all, a tartine topped with grilled bacon and Nutella, a terrific combo enhanced further with truffled honey, walnuts, blueberries & caramelised banana.
Taking inspiration from the Greenwich Village coffee house that became a focal point for folk music in 1960s New York, Bukit Damansara’s new Gaslight Café is an atmospheric venue that seeks to capture the essence of the era when Bob Dylan first warned of battles outside ragin’ and old roads rapidly agin’.
A Li Yaa offers a vast range of delicious Sri Lankan dishes. For a hearty supper, order the “lamprais” _ a Dutch-influenced baked recipe that feels like a cross between banana leaf rice and nasi lemak. Magnificently moreish.
Raisin’ The Roof hopes to raise the bar for KL’s eat-clean scene, pitching a tasteful range of wholesome salads, sandwiches, wraps and desserts that match its motto ‘Making Nutritious Delicious.’
Hidden without a signboard on the third floor of a Plaza Damansara shop-lot, Nomi Tomo – which translates into ‘Drinking Buddies’ – serves purely sake and skewers (with an interesting selection of both), founded by friendly brothers Kelvin and Kai Zhou.
This sparkling specialist in raw seafood and grilled meat debuted in 2013, with strong word-of-mouth swiftly seducing swarms of sashimi-worshippers.

5. Skullduggery
The potions at this hidden bar are pure pleasure – Black Waters, for example, is a swoon-worthy medley of blanco tequila, seaweed agave, squid ink, lime juice and celery bitters, exquisitely refined in its complex but restrained purity of flavours. Don’t Do Shrooms aromatically showcases truffle-infused vodka, cardamom milk jam, heavy cream and black hazelnut bitters, while Pear Pressure is an indulgent medley of Skullduggery’s own-buttered calvados, crumble syrup, spiced pear liquor, lemon juice and plum bitters with an aftertaste that lingers pleasurably.

‘There ain’t nothing in the world so good when it’s cooked right.’ Mark Twain was thinking of corn-dodgers and buttermilk, pork and cabbage and greens, when he wrote that line, but it’s promising that the sentiment scribbled on the chalkboard of Huckleberry is the principle that fuels the food at this boulangerie and bistro.
