A new week means a new list of the best light-dining F&B promotions in town, as chosen by us!
For this week’s Nosh listicle, we’re shining the spotlight on new dessert and snack promotions across the Klang Valley over the next few weeks. So scan our “menu” and make your plans to chow down!
Châteraisé
Are you ready for a sugar rush? Châteraisé is currently having an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet, so here’s the chance to fulfil your sweet tooth cravings to the max!
The famous Japanese dessert shop, dating back to 1954, opened its first stall on the foot of Mount Fuji. During the start of its operation, the now famous pastry shop used to only sell Imagawayaki, which is a local-style pancake-like confection with red bean paste filling. Now, they have branches worldwide and deliver a variety of sweet treats.
Starting from only RM45 per person, you can enjoy a free flow of desserts for up to 60 minutes non-stop! With a range of complimentary drinks, from sodas to coffees, there’s surely something for everyone at this buffet. The price per entry for young children (under 6) only costs RM5, and children aged 6 to 14 years old are only priced at RM20.
There are so many extraordinary desserts to try, from Japanese favourites to traditional Western-style sweets. However, this buffet is only available at Sunway Velocity (Kuala Lumpur), plus Gurney Plaza and First Avenue (Penang).
Hvala
Assembling all Japanese tea, delicacies, and matcha lovers, Hvala finally opened its first-ever flagship store in Malaysia! Hvala brings its philosophy of “ichi-go ichi-e” (celebrating the beauty of the present moment) to Kuala Lumpur, showcasing its handcrafted and refreshing drinks, vegan and non-vegan delicacies, and even Japanese desserts!
Set in a relaxing, Japanese-style interior, Hvala includes traditional horigotatsu seating and open bar counters, which allow customers to enjoy the preparation of their handcrafted matcha drinks. Located in the middle of Plaza Arkadia in Desapark City, visitors can indulge in their specially curated Japanese teas, hand-whisked matcha beverages and Japanese delicacies, including warabi mochi, various Japanese sliced cakes, and vegan gelato as well!
