The rise of sourdough bread is cause for cheer, especially for customers who love crusty bread with a memorable tang. Here are 10 restaurants and cafes that are baking up a (sourdough) storm and making versatile use of the bread.

1. Table & Apron at Damansara Kim

2. Kenny Hills Bakers at Bukit Tunku

Try the sourdough pizzas, hand-tossed by a passionately meticulous team, relying on natural unbleached flour, cooked at precise temperatures for a thick, classically charred and crusty but supple base to delight devotees of fresh bread. Warm and fresh from the oven, with a lovely, preservative-free flavour, in varieties like the Margherita (with buffalo mozzarella, oregano and basil), The Sicilian (anchovies and mozzarella on spicy tomato sauce), Three Cheese (gruyere, blue cheese and mozzarella) and Al Funghi (portobello, button and oyster mushrooms with truffle oil).

Address: I-1B, Taman Tunku, Off Langgak Tunku, Bukit Tunku, 50480 Kuala Lumpur.

3. Li at Damansara Jaya

Li’s house-made sourdough bread is turned into crunchy-fried, irresistibly greasy-bottomed open sandwiches layered with tender minced pork, sesame seeds, sriracha mayo and cilantro – not our granddaddy’s Yut Kee roti babi, but distinctively memorable and enjoyable enough to be a Li signature.

Address: 47 Jalan SS 22/23, Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

4. Redemption Espresso Bar at Plaza Damas

10. Ante at Solaris Dutamas

Ante’s Big Breakfast is constructed with impressive ingredients that complement each other immensely well – immaculately cooked eggs, hickory-smoked bacon, the chubbiest bratwurst, a trio of shimeiji, button and oyster mushrooms, creamy-fresh guacamole, and of course, sourdough toast that’s many levels above run-of-the-mill sliced bread.
