Rise & Shine by Tapestry KL, Chow Kit

The hottest name on the cafe scene right now is Tapestry KL. Located on the historic Jalan Kamunting, Tapestry is a new event venue by Wy & Co which houses several dining concepts.

Rise & Shine by Tapestry is the first dining concept to be launched, featuring classic brunch dishes injected with Malaysian twists, made using locally sourced produce, whenever possible. At the venue, you can also enjoy a perfect cuppa from Eight Ounce Coffee.



Getting its name from the various tapestries adorning the sunroof, there is so much to love about this place - the modern, Instaworthy interior, with its indoor garden, high ceilings, and ample natural lighting illuminating the venue.






Start your day, nice and bright, with Rise & Shine Eggs Benedict (RM29). Two poached eggs sit atop crisp, golden bubble & squeak (a traditional British dish made with boiled potatoes and cabbage), and served with beetroot cured salmon and bunga kantan hollandaise. Cut into the egg to reveal a beautifully runny centre.. absolute perfection!



Inspired by the Malaysian kopitiam breakfast of kopi, eggs and toast, The Hainan (RM22) is Rise & Shine's unique take on the Malaysian favourite.

Soft, fluffy scrambled free range kampung eggs is drizzled with a touch of espresso glaze and is presented with charred heirloom tomatoes, toasted Hainanese soldiers and a delicious pumpkin kaya on the side. By using pumpkin, which has a lovely natural sweetness, they can effectively cut down the amount of sugar used in making the kaya. Ingenious! For an extra sinful breakfast, you can also add on the sticky, sweet Sarsi-glazed beef bacon (RM15), which tastes very much like bak kwa (Chinese meat jerky).




The Pancakes (RM26) or French toast (RM26) would certainly get your day started on a sweet note. They're both served with fresh berries, mixed berry compote, chocolate soil and a gula melaka syrup infused with Earl Grey. I especially loved the French toast, which is made using hot cross bun... so sinful. If our kids were here, we know they would totally dig these!





For those who want something more substantial, Rise & Shine offers a lunch menu from 11.45am, with items such as fish and chips, bangers and squeak, salt beef burger, linguine and fried chicken. We had the Grilled chicken with Beras Sia from Sarawak and charred cauliflower (RM30) which is their version of a healthy chicken rice. Pickled green chillies and mustard are served as condiments. The charred cauliflower is also sprinkled with ulam and bunga kantan herb spice, for an extra Malaysian touch.




Notch up your healthy eating with one of the smoothie bowls - we had the Horchata smoothie (RM22) which featured a banana and pineapple smoothie with almond butter, topped with sliced strawberries, blueberries, toasted Hawaiian coconut, granola, pomegranate, and chia seeds. Not only is it pretty, it's tasty and good for you too!




Coffee lovers would appreciate the passionately-brewed coffee by Eight Ounce Coffee here. Other than hot coffee, they also offer Nitro cold brew, artisanal hot chocolate, matcha latte and juices.

Wildflowers KL, Petaling Street

Wildflowers KL is a new restaurant and bar located in the bustling Petaling Street. Brought to you by the folks of Merchant's Lane, the restaurant is housed in a refurbished heritage shop house, retrofitted with a shiny, modern bar on the ground floor. Meanwhile, the upstairs dining area gives off a sexy industrial vibe, interlaced with live plants and lots of natural lighting during the day.

On the menu, you will find creative Asian fusion dishes such as snacks, small plates, greens, carbs, proteins and desserts as well as craft cocktails and rice wines (tuak, soju, sake). They also offer a small selection of lunch items such as rice and noodles.

We started with the Mapo tofu with nachos (RM26), a fun, unique dish fusing the popular Chinese dish from Sichuan and tortilla chips from northern Mexican. Scoop up some of the flavorful, spicy mapo tofu, featuring silky smooth tofu and minced chicken, using the crisp nachos.. great finger food for sharing.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Deep fried salmon bites salad (RM34), which came with generous amounts of deep fried salmon chunks, mixed greens, cucumber, tomatoes, edamame and a delicious creamy roasted sesame sauce, which brought everything nicely together.

Some of the dishes from the menu, such as the proteins are only available from 6pm onwards. The Irish stew (RM42) had a wonderful homemade quality to it. The lamb shoulder has been braised until tender, with potatoes and carrots. Usually when I make it at home, I serve it with garlic bread, however Wildflower gives this an Asian twist, serving the stew with toasted Hainanese bread drizzled with truffle oil. Perfect for soaking up all that delicious sauce.




For dessert, we had the Deconstructed tiramisu (RM25), where the ladyfingers are soaked in Korean soju and served with coffee brittle, coffee jelly, and cream cheese. Absolutely luscious.



Their handcrafted cocktails are delightful; we highly recommend the Mugunghwa (RM34), their signature cocktail named after Korea's national flower, a concoction of soju, elderflower, lemon and lemonade soda. My kind of drink for sure!

Named in honour of Captain Jack Sparrow and the Jungle Bird is Jungle Jack Sparrow (RM40), made with white rum, Campari, gula melaka, lime and pineapple.
