Plan your next food adventure around these tasty, unique pastas — matcha pasta, duck rendang pasta and tom yum fettucini. First-timers should try the signature Boom Duckalaka (RM18.90) that sees al dente fettucini in a spicy duck rendang ragout. For something simpler, the Basic Batch (RM11.90) with delicious Pomodoro sauce, black pepper and parmesan will not disappoint. Another specialty worth trying is their handmade pesto served with housemade Matcha Pastas (from RM21.90). This unique matcha pasta is done two ways — with seafood, or a raw egg yolk with toasted panko and parmesan.

Good pork burgers here! Very juicy and grilled perfectly. A regular ol’ bun would have been good enough for me, but the charcoal holds up the burger very well.

From the team behind Foremula comes this new resto-cafe in PJ. Pretty-in-pink, this spacious cafe is accentuated with salmon-coloured walls, gold trimmings and lush flora and fauna. The menu here is an elevated take on the Malaysian-influenced fare at Foremula. Go for the popular Tom’s Yummy Two (RM21), a tom yum-flavoured pasta dish with grilled veggies. For more protein, you can add on chicken, beef bacon or salmon. Also worth a try is ayam percik-inspired I Am Percik (RM29), a tender grilled chicken dish served with an aromatic gravy and Mediterranean salad. Opt to have it with a side of rice for a more belly-filling meal.

Contemporary Malaysian restaurant, Li, expands its current bread selection with this brand new bakery-cafe just next door. Start your mornings here – sip on a fruity Long Black (RM8) and tuck into the simple and delicious Slow Scrambled Egg on Sourdough With Tomato Jam (RM14). After 12pm, the lunch menu sports sandwiches made for quick and easy meals, like the Grilled Cheese Sandwich (RM20). Toasted sourdough is filled generously with gooey cheddar cheese, and comes with a tangy tomato soup for slurping or dunking. The baked goods are not to be missed either – grab a Cinnamon Roll (RM7) or Banana Cake (RM7) for teatime at home.

Slightly obsessed with this place. During the day they serve Indo-inspired grub like this dish – fried chicken fillet with Balinese sambal mattah (a dry onion and chilli sambal) with rice. Always good chicken with a fragrant sambal. Opt to have it with Jeda rice (mixed with shredded kaffir lime leaves, torch ginger flower and shallots). So satisfying.

Get the sliders for smaller bites and different burger toppings. The 40g housemade patties are dressed with pickled red onions (nice tang), caramelised onions (has a touch of sweetness against the savoury beef), and mustard mayo (a classic).

This signature chicken sandwich is one of my favourite on the menu! Spicy, juicy & aromatic! Look for them if you are in the mood for some Asian Sandwiches and Coffee Mocktails!

💰: RM21

Spotted at SS2’s The Hub — this new cake house is by the same peeps behind Sunway's After Black. The space is decked out in wooden furniture and adorned with planters, providing cosy vibes that make you feel right at home. Expect an ever-changing cake selection in simple and traditional flavours with a twist. Some house favourites include the cheesy Double Fromage (RM13) and Rose Lychee (RM16). If you’re looking for a cold treat, the kitchen also doles out Panna Cotta (from RM15) in flavours like mango and matcha as well as icy Frappes (from RM13).

(Rating:5/5🌟) Ox tongue rice bowl (rm21) It doesn’t look appetizing but it actually tastes heavenly! Seared sliced ox tongue with soy sauce, chili padi, garlic chips on steamed rice. It comes with miso radish soup. Delicious simplicity 😉

Wasn't my first visit. The first time I was there, I had the whole sandwich with chicken and maple peanut sauce (if my memory didn't fail me) all by myself. No regrets and I'm glad I didn't share. The second time, I had company and shared this amazing sandwich stuffed with three eggs. Mmhhd. Only gripe? I had to share.

This hip burger joint in TTDI dishes up burgers that meld Asian and Western flavours. Start with Pebble’s Signature (RM16.90) for a juicy beef burger with Malaysian-style barbecue sauce – add a slice of duck bacon (RM5.90) for a flavour boost. If you're after wings, have the Soy Garlic Wings (RM14.90) – think three large chicken wings coated in sweet and tangy glaze. P.s. Pebble shares the lot with frozen yoghurt shop llaollao, so save some tummy space for dessert!

Slow roasted pineapple, smoked duck and jalapeño. If these are your favourites, give this a go.

It still surprises me how pineapple, jalapeño and duck can be such a perfect combo - recommended!

This is RM30.
