Sweet Indulgence
Looking for a less guilty indulgence? Head out to Sweet Escape, an
ice cream parlour in Kuala Lumpur’s Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Launched
by Malaysian ice cream brand Inside Scoop, here is where you’ll
find lower-calorie ice creams and sorbets that are made with lower
levels of unrefined sugar and blue agave syrup, or are completely
sugar-free, making them suitable for diabetic and keto-dieters. A
lot of work has gone into making these flavours as rich and tasty
as their regular versions, so you’re not missing out by opting for
these low-sugar versions. Try a scoop of staple flavours like dark
chocolate, vanilla, cempedak, or strawberry and basil for starters. If
you’re after a flavour that’s unique to this store, dig into the genmai
(roasted rice), kefir, avocado or chrysanthemum ice creams. Vegans
are also welcome here. Sweet Escape’s sorbets are vegan-friendly,
as are their ice-cream cones.

An Itch For Snitch
The next time you’re hankering for a hearty meal, hit up Snitch By The
Thieves. Located in The Gardens Mall in Kuala Lumpur, the restaurant
is headed by the founders of Breakfast Thieves, one of the city’s go-to
spots for an Aussie-style brunch. While they’ve retained their love
for brekkie favourites like French Toast, Bircher muesli, fry-ups and
baked eggs, the menu also features Asian favourites like curry laksa,
char kuey teow, mee jawa and black pepper beef udon. Also included
is a selection of burgers and pastas for hungry diners: The pick of
the lot is The Yakuza, a chilli cheeseburger made with wagyu beef,
complete with gherkins, chilli con carne, cheese and onion rings. The
Kaprao-nara is another interesting choice: the Thai rendition of pasta
carbonara, made with Thai basil, minced chicken, citrus parmesan
cream, chilli and onsen egg, makes for a creamy dish with a spicy
kick. If you’re dropping in late in the evening, head to its neighbouring
sports bar, After Dark Social Club, which comes with beer pong and
private karaoke rooms where you can party the night away.
