April 28th, 2025
Fling a stone in Subang's SS15 neighbourhood and you risk hitting a cafe (or a cafe visitor - eek!); thankfully though, there's no need to sift through a pile of pebbles to uncover an understated gem like Flingstones Cafe, a venue that's as fun as its name.
Power couple Meor and Leena might be expecting their third child within a matter of weeks, but they've already delivered one very healthy labour of love this month - a visually beguiling new cafe with bespoke chevron-patterned tables by Lain Furniture, open-terrarium plants and a children's play corner, stowed on a serene street in Shah Alam.

Another Penang-inspired stop opened recently, vowing to also dish out authentic street eats.

Kota Damansara's 77 Mayford is a cafe with humour and heart that promises 'tea on the loose.'
Four friends who recently wrapped up their studies abroad have come back to Malaysia and combined forces to launch one of PJ's most cheerful cafes.
Time to check out another new Japanese joint: Desa Sri Hartamas' Kisyu Ramen.
This ivory-white space beside PJ's Awesome Canteen may look forlorn and forsaken for now, but before the end of this week, expect to see some customers strolling in and out for bowls of ramen and rice.
No ruby slippers required - tap your heels together three times, tell Toto you're not in Solaris Dutamas anymore, and let happy little bluebirds take you to this restaurant somewhere over the rainbow.
Scarcely two months old, Swich's new branch marks a major milestone with the launch of a menu for hot food.
