Dodici, PARC Subang Jaya

With a Milan-born show-runner, Dodici is PARC Subang’s new spot for pizzas in the park, firing up every Friday to Sunday until late October.

Dodici plans to debut a full-fledged Italian kitchen for pizzas and pastas in PARC before the end of 2025. For now, patrons can preview pizzas every weekend, with beauties like the briny-bright marinara, richly slicked with anchovies, olive oil and tomato sauce.

Offset Cafe, Segambut

Founded by three Sabah-born sisters and their brother, Segambut’s new Offset Cafe is a wonderfully welcoming space, warmly weaving together the siblings’ passions. 

Step inside for music and memories, from a vinyl listening corner that spins vintage charm to a Pokémon card showcase that stirs playful curiosity, framed by leafy, wood-grained cosiness that echoes the family’s nature-filled upbringing in Pekan Beaufort. 

Offset’s bakes feel heartfelt and personal: Savour the shortcrust pot pies reshaped into rolls, cradling a variety of gravy-steeped fillings, and cempedak muffins with a gorgeously fragrant crumb, gently fruity in sweetness.

Soya Soba, Mont Kiara

Soba with a Korean soul: Mont Kiara’s new Soya Soba is the first Malaysian offshoot of a family business that began in South Korea’s mountainous Gangwon province.

Gangwon cultivates chemical-free buckwheat, milled into memil guksu, the Korean buckwheat noodle reply to soba, with a natural, lightly earthy nuttiness.

Soya Soba carries that countryside legacy faithfully forward, making its own noodles for a spectrum of Korean recipes.

Slurp the soba steaming with tender mandu dumplings in sweet mushroom-laced broth or cool, bibim-style with perilla powder, scallions and seaweed for a refreshing lift.

LITO Bakery Cafe, Bangsar
