Daily Shots Cafe @ Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 1, TTDI

Update: This cafe is no longer in operation =( 

Price Range: Reasonable! Coffee drinks range from RM6 – RM9.50

Cuisine: Coffee and cakes

Pork-free

This little cafe quietly set up camp in the half-a-shoplot we used to buy PS1 games in, and it’s looking very likely that we’ll be just as fond as this cosy hideout as well.

Turkish Café Istanbul @ Jalan Wan Kadir 1, TTDI

Price Range: Mains range from RM15 – RM20

Pork-free

If you’re like us and have been struggling to find a decent Turkish meal in KL, you’re probably just as relieved when this café first opened its doors in TTDI last October. 

Mr Pie Man @ Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 3, TTDI

Price Range: Pie combo meals range from RM9.90 to RM 19.90

Cuisine: Pies

Pork-free 

A quick chat with the Pie Man himself told us that the café’s existence is due to the fact that he can’t seem to find a good pie to sink his teeth in upon his return from New Zealand. We’re just glad to have a cosy pie shop so near to home! 

Softsrve @ Damansara Uptown

Price Range: Each cup is upwards of RM8

The Bites Cafe @ Lake Fields Sg Besi

Price Range : Mid-range

Cuisine : Western 

Catphobia-Friendly? : Yep!

Pork-Free

Whenever we try a new restaurant, the first bite would usually determine whether or not we were in for a good time. Aptly enough, every single bite at Bites is hypnotic, exciting, and satisfying right to the very end.

Fikcles @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail

Price: Mid-range

At a glance, Fikcles fits right in with the current quirky café troupe with its adorably-painted façade and its coffee-scented interior. But scan through the menu and you’ll find this genius creation that sets this cosy café significantly apart:

A Pie Thing @ Damansara Uptown

Price: Mid-range 

Cuisine : Pies

Catphobia-Friendly?: Yes

Pork-Free 

Rest easy, Mrs Lovett did not have a hand in crafting the pies at A Pie Thing. The only “Mashacre” here is of the kind heaped with peas, potatoes and soulful gravy! 

Dao Kia @ One Utama

Price Range : Budget 

Cuisine : Soy drinks and desserts 

Recommended For : A vegan snack 

Catphobia Friendly? : Yes 

Favourite post-lunch desserts, right here! Who can say no to Dao Kia's silky smooth soy puddings?

Ubud is a true haven for vegans, and we were frantically trying out as many of the vegan eateries as we could fit into our tight 2-day schedule!

Price Range : Mid-range   

Cuisine : Western 

Recommended For : Idling over coffee and cake, watching the hurried city go by 

Catphobia-Friendly? : Yes

Too many times we have had to listen to awestruck stories of this wondrous creation, and too many times we kept telling ourselves we urgently needed to swing by Acme Bar & Coffee and see what the fuss is about! 

We are happy to report that our procrastination has finally come to a complete halt. The Sizzling Brownie with Oreo Ice Cream (RM 19) is, easily, one of the most genius offerings to grace the foodscapes of KL! 

We Finally Caught Up with Royal Post's Coffee Truck!

Price Range : Mid-range  

Cuisine : Coffee!        

Recommended For : A cup of coffee that comes with a challenge

Catphobia-Friendly? : Depending on the location, we suppose  

After months of stalking Royal Post’ Instagram uploads, we rounded the corner to work today and were ecstatic to find the signature red-white-black coffee truck parked in front of the office! Finally, we were able to give this elusive traveling cup of coffee a try! (You know how we love them elusive eats, from our Humble Chef-stalking days).

Organic Coffee @ Motoya Express, Omotesando, Tokyo

Price Range : Mid-range 
Cuisine : Organic Coffee 
Recommended For : The Anti-Starbucks 
Catphobia-Friendly? : Totally!

What's a trip without a good cup of coffee to go with it? Just steps away from the Ben & Jerry's store in Omotesando Hills, we came across an unassuming little brown van tucked in a hidden corner, spewing hypnotic coffee scents. 

Free Flow Coffee Every Friday & Saturday @ Coffee Societe, Publika

One cup of coffee is always a welcomed accompaniment to dinner. Unlimited cups of coffee is... too good to be true? 

Yes, you read that right! Coffee Societe, possibly the most interesting coffee house in super-happening Publika at the moment, treats true coffee lovers with a quirky promotion. At a rate of RM10 nett, drink all the coffee you want every Friday and Saturday night, from 6 p.m. until about 11.30 p.m.  

Read on for Top 5 Reasons Why We Absolutely Adore Coffee Societe!

Kopi 434 @ Jalan Maharani, Muar

Price Range : Budget

Cuisine : Coffee   

Recommended For : A taste of Muar's famous coffee    

Catphobia-Friendly? : Yes

Came across this little nook on one of our random Sunday daytrips, this time to this rather bustling Johorean town. After a nostalgic lunch and mini tour around town, only one thing could complete our day. If you guessed coffee, you know us too well =)

One of the best moments in life is, undeniably, stepping into a coffee house and having that waft of roasting coffee just hit you! When in Muar, Kopi 434 is the place to have your caffeine fix. It is easily noticeable along Jalan Maharani with its bright yellow façade. What’s great about this place is that you can choose to have your drinks ‘espresso style’ or ‘local style’.

Charms Cafe @ One Utama

Price Range : Mid-range

Cuisine : Asian & Western   

Recommended For : Great for a pre/post-movie meal; just steps away from TGV

Catphobia-Friendly? : Yes

The beautifully-decorated Charms has always stood out among the electronics and clothing stores that mostly occupy that old wing/new wing limbo on the top floor of OU. To say that it’s unnoticeable would be a complete lie, but the truth behind our avoidance of the restaurant stems from the fact that Julie used to work there after Form 5, while waiting for college to start. Not that there was anything wrong with the food, but it’s just awkward to have your colleagues suddenly serve you food, isn’t it? You’d feel like you should take the plates back to the kitchen after your meal or something (which, of course, you won’t be doing because you’re now a customer).
