KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 I love fusion flavours. Proclamations of "authenticity” often irk me when it comes to food, when we have centuries upon centuries of different culinary.
Flanked by Universiti Malaya and Mahsa Avenue International College (MAIC), Jalan Ilmu in Kuala Lumpur has experienced more activity in recent years, especially among the student community.
One of the attractions here is Pokok KL, a trendy glasshouse-themed café that is filled with natural light and lush greenery. It attracts a steady stream of city dwellers and café hoppers and is a popular brunch spot that serves croissants, pies, pastas, nasi lemak and truffle fries.
Nearby cafés and landmarks include Three Guys Café, KFC, Degree Coffee, Bayu Café catering and services, Wunderbath, Merceria neighbourhood grocer and The Zoo co-working space. Around the corner is the office of the National Institute of Public Administration.
