Aegean Blue, Petaling Jaya
With a partly Greek-inspired selection and setting, PJ’s new Aegean Blue serves specialities such as satisfying moussaka, steaming-hot with comfortingly tender layers of potatoes, eggplant, minced beef and kefalotyri melted cheese.
The service is warm and welcoming, while the kitchen is capably versatile, whipping up everything from grilled octopus with fennel to slow-roasted duck with turnip confit.

Barra, Petaling Street
Petaling Street's new Barra brings Barcelona-born chef Ignasi Prat's interpretation of a contemporary tapas bar crawl to Chinatown: The menu explores 21st-century globalised Spanish cuisine - creamy rice in lobster broth with Carabinero scarlet prawn and saffron aioli; Jerusalem artichokes with ajo blanco and jamon iberico chips; scallops with braised oxtail, olive oil caviar and leek crisps; and beef cheeks with onion confit, jus and tapioca chips.

Wheat & Co: KL home bakers with a unique Pandan Layer Cake & Mother's Day special dessert set
Wheat & Co was launched by Vincent as its sole baker, with his wife handling the heaps of paperwork.
Wheat & Co has since evolved into a four-person team, working with a bounty of natural ingredients for cakes, tarts and other tempting treats.
Fans of light Malaysian-inflected cakes will love Wheat & Co’s flagship Pandan Layer Cake (RM85 for 7-inch, RM110 for 8-inch).
Other popular cakes include the Fresh Cream Mango Cake, Guanaja 70% Dark Chocolate Cake, and Burnt Cheesecake.
Start with the zesty Daisy. This tantalising tart blossoms brightly with almond sponge that's tinged with Taiwanese red tea, topped with yellow guava-and-pear compote, encircled with mascarpone cheese beneath a film of osmanthus jelly. It’s complex with clean notes of nuts, fruits and flowers, awakening the palate with its uplifting fragrance.
Next, Vert: A chunky cube covered with green tea white chocolate, concealing separate sections of mouthwateringly moist Japanese Morihan Uji matcha joconde, cream cheese and raspberry ganache - a joyous journey of flavours and textures from one bite to another.
Finish with slow-baked Lemon Cheesecake, zingy and savoury all at once, dense but not cloying, bubbling up with basil-lime 'caviar' for a buoyant balance of citrusy herbaceousness, set on a crumbly crust of an almond cookie base. Absolutely not our average cheesecake.
Stay tuned to Wheat & Co for more seasonal surprises this year - in the near future, its founders hope to move to an even larger kitchen!
