7 tasty, new cafes and restaurants at The Mines Shopping Mall to try out

This post is brought to you in part by The Mines Shopping Mall.

Shopping malls are so much more than a place to pick up a bargain or just somewhere to escape the Malaysian heat; they’re also perfect for finding a great place to enjoy food and hang out with friends.

The Mines Shopping Mall is no exception – there are some great places to grab a coffee, enjoy a meal or just pick up some tasty treats. Here are seven places to look out for.

1. Komugi

Komugi offers authentic handmade Japanese breads, cakes and confectioneries. Everything is baked daily by Japanese Pastry chefs to ensure freshness, with good quality ingredients. There are more than 150 types of products at Komugi from breads, cakes, pastries, baum, puffy–O, macarons, and beverages. Some specialities include the Hanjuku Matcha, Cranberry Rye Bread, and Baum Strawberry Charlotte.

Location: Lot L3-77(2), Level 3

2. Teh Tarik Place – Lot L1-98, Level 1

Teh Tarik Place has been around for a long time, but this outlet is brand new. The chefs have introduced two premium dish combinations, the first of which is Dragon Chicken, which features chicken marinated in parsley and cool dragon fruit sauce.

The flesh of the dragon fruit is juicy, succulent and low in calories, yet it offers numerous nutrients. The second new dish is the Dragon Ball, similar to the above but comprising a beef ball marinated in parsley and dragon fruit sauce.

To quench your thirst, drinks on offer include Macha Tea Tarik Goyang, brewed with a generous infusion of frothy milk. The Green Tea Tarik Goyang is creamy with a touch of bitterness lingering over the initial sweetness.

3. Starbucks Coffee

A neighbourhood gathering place where friends and families can enjoy their preferred coffee in an inviting atmosphere.

There are more than 30 blends and single-origin hand crafted coffees and beverages to choose from, which you can savour in-store or on the go with their drive-through service. There’s also a selection of baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and desserts.

4. Sepiring Uniquely Malaysian

This place offers a variety of Malaysian meals, all under one roof. For example, the Nyonya Nasi Ulam with Ayam Percik, which comes with salted egg and keropok lekor, or the Nasi Kunyit with Curry and Turmeric, served with glutinous rice served.

There is also a traditional Penang Assam Laksa, with thick rice noodles in a sour and spicy fish broth, shredded mackerel and ginger flower. Or try the Nyonya Laksa, served with thick noodles, shredded steamed chicken and prawns.

For something more western, try the Spicy Smoked Beef Spaghetti served in a spicy turmeric coconut milk stew. And, for those who are still hungry, a must-try are their signature durian desserts, for example Durian Chendol and Durian Pancake.
