Kanteen, Tropicana Avenue

June 12, 2019

No mere cafeteria, Kanteen serves up a cheerful spread of contemporary and classic crowd-pleasers. The soft-shell crab croissant promises plenty of crunch for your cash, made punchy with a salted egg cheese sauce (RM26), while the nasi lemak ayam rempah is the perennially popular pick, the can't-fail coupling of aromatic rice with tender spiced chicken (RM20).

The rest of the menu is extensive, equally emphasising East and West, hopscotching from shakshouka, salmon omelettes and smoothie bowls to Korean spicy chicken, Malaysian satay and Southeast Asian noodle bowls, with some imaginatively playful pleasures like a quinoa sweet potato patty burger in the mix.

Fans of live entertainment can also bookmark Kanteen, with talented local musicians performing here on many Friday and Saturday nights.
