The other day my friend Victor was telling me about the latest and bestest coffee in town is located in Mont Kiara. I have been doing a fair bit of house hunting in that area of late but never come across this place called “The Fare”. Anyway it didn’t particularly caught my mind until yesterday, which was a public holiday, and we couldn’t find a place that’s opened for lunch so we decided to give this place a try and called up Vic for directions.
This place is secluded alright. If you are coming from Mt. Kiara and if Baskin Robbins is on your right, keep going till you reach the second turning on right. Turn in and go straight, you will reach Mont Kiara 10 which is still under construction. Ristretto is located at the ground floor of The Fare.
This place instantly earned our brownie points cos it was opened on a public holiday! :)
They specialised in various types of coffee, the beans are imported but roasted locally to keep its freshness. Vic said their latte is to die for, thus I had to give it a try. I am not a fan for milky coffee… for those who know me well will know how I love all things dark and bitter actually :P But this latte tasted really fresh and strong but not too milky. I love it.
The cherry and strawberry cheesecake was self baked by the Argentinean chief barista, Miguel. I’m not a cheesecake fan either but it was quite good. Miguel said he purposely reduced substantial amount of sugar to suit Asians’ taste, and it was baked only this morning!
Free carpark. Complimentary wifi. Cozy ambience. And most importantly, it’s not too crowded.
LB ordered club sandwich, forgot to ask him how it was. I had potato ham salad… carby but nice.
Calling all coffee connoisseurs in KL, give this place a try! Also a conducive place to catch up with friends. I am so jealous that the folks spotted multiple whale sharks in Tenggol this weekend, a dive trip which I signed up for but had to give it amiss… :(
