LA/PA at Telawi, Bangsar: Restaurant Review
Bangsar's New Year baby springs into action this week, showing great potential to grow into something special. LA/PA - a catchy play on 'lapar,' the Malay word for 'hungry' - is a spin-off from the vibrant people who brought us Taman Tun's Quar/Tet; we think LA/PA will easily equal the success of its big brother.

Caffe Crema at Plaza Mont Kiara: Restaurant Review
Lots of stylish touches, from the reclaimed-wood furnishing to the vintage R&B music flowing out of the vinyl record player. Caffe Crema is situated next to the Number76 hair salon; a newly formed collaboration between both businesses means that Number76's customers can order coffee from Caffe Crema & enjoy it at the salon.
