Heart4Cafe, Bangsar

This family-run cafe in Bangsar's Bayu Angkasa Clubhouse is well worth a visit, open to the public. True to Heart4Cafe's name, founder Nicole and her parents serve a memorable menu with warmth and passion.

Heart4Cafe's unique homemade curry puffs come stuffed with a whole roe-filled squid, spiced with a tongue-tingling curry cooked with five types of chillies plus potatoes and nuts.

Also try the Roti Paun, sourced from Terengganu-based bakers, soft and fluffy, lusciously layered to order with Heart4Cafe's own-crafted kaya and butter.

Current CNY specials include a tropical fruit treat of pineapple cheesecake, thick and custardy-jammy. On Saturdays, Nicole's dad dishes out his famous beef kway teow and beef sang mee for lunch.
