Cafe Studio at Kota Damansara: Cafe Review

A calm hideout that’s one of the Klang Valley’s most intriguingly outfitted new cafes. This is such stuff as a thousand Instagram photos are made on, potentially.

The furniture and artwork here are for sale; patrons can also request custom-made designs.

Sweet-and-Sour Octopus Salad

The menu strives to be distinctive, though the results might be less striking than the setting. Our best bet: sweet-and-sour octopus salad with mint leaves, kaffir lime leaves, basil leaves, lime juice, red cabbage, red wine vinaigrette and peanuts (RM15.90 before taxes).

Rice Cakes

Crunchy rice cake topped with egg mayo, rocket, parsley, cherry tomatoes and black pepper (RM7.50).

Spaghetti

House special spaghetti with a paste of finely chopped turkey ham, mushrooms, jalapenos and olive oil, accompanied by fried, herb-tinged prawns (RM15.90).

Plenty of Cakes

Plenty of cakes for folks chilling out on languid weekend afternoons.

Coffee

The coffee’s best for customers who prefer the regular, commercially available brews.

Our sweet tooth couldn’t resist ordering the Extreme Honeycomb Indulgence (RM12.90), with ice-blended honeycomb and coffee topped with whipped cream.

Service is Pleasant

All in all, probably worth checking out for anyone who needs a new hangout.

P.S. Sean’s away Nov. 7-17 in a mystery location 8,765 kilometers from KL where Maxis charges an unconscionable RM48 for 20MB of data roaming. Daily blog entries have been scheduled in advance & will be automatically posted, but apologies as comments can only be replied far later.
