Nourish, Damansara Heights

Image
On a sunny Saturday, slightly past noon, Nourish feels like the happiest place in Damansara Heights: The brunch crowd is feasting on everything from corn bread to crispy falafels to buckwheat pancakes, while Hall & Oates' You Make My Dreams flutters from the speakers, followed by The Beatles' Love Me Do.

The trio rank among KL's most respected baristas, so their capability with coffee is a certainty - multiple single-origin, multi-roaster varieties are available, from espresso-based beverages (starting at RM11 for a hot long black) to pour-overs (RM15-RM35); the menu enthusiastically describes the latter as 'crafted with hands and heart,' so it's worth exploring the possibilities - perhaps an Ethiopian heirloom, with beans sourced from Tokyo's Glitch Coffee & Roasters. Beyond coffee, Kita also promises hot chocolate (by Korte Chocolate), green tea (by Matcha Hero) an...
