PETALING JAYA: Many charitable and welfare homes are trying their best to maintain and care for their residents despite numerous difficulties and challenges amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
When anyone mentions Taman Billion in Cheras, the Western food restaurants in Jalan Siput Akek invariably come to David’s mind. The housing estate on higher ground, which comprises only landed properties, is adjacent to the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and Jalan Cheras.
These two thoroughfares are also the two main entrances into Taman Billion and, whichever one you take, the first road you arrive at in the development will be Jalan Siput Akek the only commercial street there.
The road is lined by a row of 4-storey shopoffices, housing mostly F&B outlets, as well as trading companies and shops offering various services. The landmarks include Charis Christian Centre and Western food restaurants such as Kafe Kaki Corner, Samosa Café & Catering and Rendezvous Steak Garden that have been around for about two decades, apart from other cafés and Chinese restaurants there.

KUALA LUMPUR, FEB 4 The enticing aroma of scrambled eggs, chashu and toast wafted from the kitchen. The hiss of the steam wand as the barista frothed the milk, to be transformed into latte art moments later.
The space inside Ebony & Ivory Coffee, a neighbourhood café in Cheras had become more streamlined after a recent renovation. Regulars were glad to be back when the shop reopened on January 12; what was supposed to take two weeks stretched into a month but these days we all expect the unexpected.
