Get ready to explore the world of Mokky’s in Bukit Tunku, Neighbours Coffee, Floccus Floccus, Dimpled, and Ordinery.
All the new cafes and restaurants to try in June 2024:
Mokky’s
Pizza enthusiasts, you’re going to love this new joint in KL. With the unveiling of its first outlet in Bukit Jelutong, Mokky’s has recently declared Bukit Tunku its newest home. Founded by four friends, the pizzeria is a homage to their love for pizzas and coffee.
As you enter The Stories of Taman Tunku, look out for their vibrant yet contrasting orange and green exterior that radiates with joy. On the menu, you’ll find delicious pizzas, sides, and beverages to indulge in – their pizzas come in by slice, 12-inch and 16-inch. During our visit, we explored their signature Chicken BBQ, Alfredo Chicken and Holy Pep. What’s great about it is that you can order a half and half, enjoying two exquisite flavours in one go, whether you choose between the 12-inch and 16-inch. The star of the show? Holy Pep! and Chicken BBQ.
As for the sides, we recommend pairing your pizzas with Crunchy Roots (Sweet Potato Fries, Pecorino Cheese, Mustard Aioli), Moza Sticks, Bang Bang Bali Corn (Torched Corn Riblets with Spicy Sweet Butter and cilantro), Truffle Waffle Fries and their signature Cluck n’ Waffle (Chicken and Waffle). With pizza thriving as its core menu, the Bukit Jelutong outlet also features pasta as a speciality, while their signature Chicken & Waffle becomes a key dish in the Bukit Tunku outlet – don’t miss out.
