Review: Ekkamai Thai Kitchen
May 21st, 2025
East Asian desserts seem destined for dominion in the weeks ahead; here’s a short-&-sweet peek at the independent Korean-owned OW:L Espresso, set to become one of Subang Jaya’s coolest new hangouts.
OW:L Espresso, a first-floor perch in Menara Rajawali where college students of a feather flock together, right beside Inti International University in SS15 Subang.
Korean ‘bingsu’ is the star attraction – the renowned Korean shaved ice dessert that’s increasingly casting a cold snap over the Klang Valley. OW:L’s version is indulgently smooth & well-tuned in flavour. Varieties include Injeolmi with glutinous rice cakes, Milk Fat, Cookies & Cream or Yoghurt & Fruit, but we placed our bet on this unique cross between bingsu & affogato, crowned not only with azuki beans but ice cream, & served with a shot of espresso. RM14 for a ‘small’ that two can easily share.
No coffee no cry – OW:L Espresso serves Marley Coffee, founded by the son of Bob Marley.
Ice cream toasts are available, fruity with yuja citrus fruit & berries (RM13); hearty, but a better choice of bread might make this more enjoyable.
