KOPIMEO SHAH ALAM

where do they find the energy? power couple meor & leena might be expecting their third child within a matter of weeks, but they've already delivered one very healthy labour of love this month- a visually beguiling new cafe with bespoke chevron-patterned tables by Lin Furniture. open -terrarium plants & a children's play corner. stowed on a serence street in Shah Alam.




kopi's meo home run in terms of architectural flourishes ist't a suprise- the art & science of design are in meor & leena wheelhouse. but kopimeo also throws a few curveballs for its food-these meatless, moroccan- inflected baked egg eggs prove an interesting choice, with a beautiful base of chickenpeas & tomato stew that shuns cut-rate sausages & watery veggies RM16



kopimeo is part of the klang valley's rising wave of contemporary cafes that stem of Melbourne beloved breakfasts with a current of Malaysia-cherished recipes. sure, you can order cornflakes-crusted french toasts here, but it;s possible to take a break from that & try the lempeng instead, the local response to crepes, served with sambal bilis RM10


As many Mlaysian chefs know, fusion pasta the simple solution for everyone who wants to introduce East to west. But while we're rarely enamoured of rendang fettuccine & masala pnne, we were intrigued by this salted fish spaghetti with squid, bird's eye chilies, olive oil, herbs, capers, breadcrumbs & parmesan RM15 brunching in Shah Alam is abudgetary boon.


churrous are becoming as inescapable for cafe enthusiasts in2015 as Eggs Benedict were in 2013 & waffles were last year. kopimeo rolls out a respectable rendition with a chocolate dip (RM8) . It helps that the food here tastes conscientiously made, underscoring how kopimeo;s founders do seem to care about their customers- certainly not avirtue to be taken for granted.
