Kuala Lumpur


You can see the fresh bread being taken out of the oven at this appealing bakery, cake shop and cafe in a quiet part of the city centre. The outdoor patio is a pleasant spot for a lunch of homemade pizza or a pastry with a local inflection, like a curry chicken doughnut or seaweed, ham and chicken-floss roll.
