We can’t wait to get our hands on All About Chew‘s soft cookies. The IG-famous shop, which has outlets across Malaysia, is known for their freshly baked cookies that are thicc and tasty. Prices start at RM15.50 for their signature Big Ass Softy (B.A.S), starring dark chocolate and chopped walnuts in a plain cookie base. They also have a red velvet flavour at RM17.50, stuffed with a rich cream cheese filling.

Cafe girlies can head to Palates & Bagels, a popular cafe that offers fresh bagels. When we visited the cafe earlier this year, we enjoyed the Lily (RM16.90++), a petite cranberry bagel generously filled with rose- and lemon-infused cream cheese. Those who prefer savoury flavours can try the Dvesh (RM27.90++), which features curry mayo and fried chicken, and Ah Seng (RM31.90++): prawn patty, egg, caramelised onions, and sliced cheddar.

Alternatively, for something more local, head to Pacific Kopi, a popular Nanyang cafe with Mushroom Chicken Mala Pan Mee (RM13.90), Pandan Custard White Bread (RM4.50++) and more!

Before you leave, be sure to dabao some Chinese pastries from Ming Ang Confectionery. We recommend their old-school Tausa Peah (RM1.30), though their Golden Milk Pastry, which comes in flavours such as Mung Bean (RM4.90) and Red Bean (RM4.90), are equally popular.

Other noteworthy beverage options at SKS City Mall include Beutea bubble tea and ZUS Coffee.

We’ll update this article as soon as we get more details!
