15 New Things to Try in Klang Valley This Week
1. The Brew House Kuchai Lama
The Brew House can be said as one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in Malaysia. Established since 2017, it currently has 11 branches across Malaysia, but fret not, the chain hasn’t lost its sheen. Set in an industrial-style basement ambience, it might look like another booze and casual dining joint, but The Brew House doesn’t churn out a formula. It’s almost too cool and too affordable for the sharp-suited expense-account crowd and is still a cut above when it comes to deliciously crusted, smoky meats, herb-flecked flatbreads and jazzy boozes.
Address: No.7, Jalan Kuchai Maju 11, Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park, Off Jalan Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Operating Hours: 11.30am- 2.00am daily
2. Chatto- Handcrafted Tea Bar SS15
It’s true to say that Chatto has reinvented tea for the Instagram generation. Really, though, their ombre-coloured milk tea the real eye-catcher. Operating since 2017, it’s shocking to say that they now have 21 branches across Malaysia. Upon stepping in, expect everything to be clean and minimal. And yes, provenance is the thing here- their ingredients are of Japan’s and Taiwan’s finest- purists, rejoice.

Here’s a new brunch spot peddling the kinds of confections people dream about and is vowed to satisfy every size of sweet tooth- Extraction.
