Cat In The Box at Empire Damansara: Restaurant Review

Proving that some cats truly do have multiple lives, Cat In The Box was reborn recently at Empire Damansara, moving more than a whisker away from its Jaya One birthplace to a new habitat that’s purr-fect for patrons in pursuit of pies & piccolo lattes.

Warm, Woodsy Interior

This is a beautiful cafe, brilliant for photography, with a warm, woodsy interior that’s soaked in sunshine during the daytime, when the calming view of Damansara Perdana’s suburban foliage through the metres-high windows is at its most impressive.

Brimming With Character

Soothingly spacious & brimming with character, with lots of corners to explore & enjoy, plus a spiral staircase that leads to a rooftop that’s expected to eventually house Cat In The Box’s barbecue section. Cafe owner Amber & her partners have clearly poured plenty of heart & soul into this place.

Gula Melaka Nut Tart

Cat In The Box backs a diverse range of locally based F&B entrepreneurs, offering the likes of a Gula Melaka nut tart (RM8.50) baked by a German expatriate who has lived in KL for several years, as well as red velvets & banana choc chip cakes crafted by the two Malaysian sisters who make up Little Tee Cakes.

Callebaut Chocolate Mocha Brownies

As well as Callebaut chocolate mocha brownies crowned with the ever-lovable Fatbaby Ice Cream.

Mini Dessert Bites

Cat In The Box’s own-made fresh-tasting treats, mini dessert bites (RM5 for two pieces) in flavours like peanut butter & jelly or rocky road. Savoury specialities are also available – beef pastrami sandwiches (RM15) & chicken-potato pies (RM8.50).

Signature Cold Brew

Don’t skip Cat In The Box’s signature cold brew, which takes 24 hours to prepare with East Timor beans. Smooth & enjoyable in flavour, offered either as an Americano or latte (RM12 or RM14), pairing well with lemon chai or pecan spice cookies (RM2).
