[2025 Petaling Restaurant] Travel Guide for Damansara Uptown (Updated Mar)

Imagine something amazing! It’s been happening at the Imazium, Damansara Utama. From 5pm, this little cafe, Cream, offers a buy 1 free 1 three course dinner for RM68++. Take your significant other, your family…of just makan with a a friend! They’ve increased the menu selection…from 2 mains (originally) to 5 choices…chicken, lamb, duck, fish, mushroom. (There was originally a burger option but it has been removed). You can also order ala carte but my personal opinion is that it’s pretty pricy. The breakfast menu looks good and super affordable though! A wide selection of desserts are available ala carte but their brownie on the set is so good, why explore? 😂 (my mum prefers the burnt cheesecake though). You can reserve a table but do note that cellular coverage isn’t that great so they may not respond too promptly. Staff are friendly and many seem to be being trained up and have a really good learning posture to be accountable servers. Great place! Been back 3x and my family went without me once! 😂😂😂 Offer was extended to August 2023…but am not sure about September 2023.

We went to this amazing cafe that is famous for their soybean products, it’s been around for many years and it has always been our favourite! It’s called Soylab. A good spot to get some desserts after a meal to enjoy a cosy environment for hanging out. The place is comfy and there are friendly staff to explain on the options and taste. We ordered a Soybean shaved ice, the toppings included pearls, red beans and glass jelly cubes. The soya taste is very strong and sweet, the ingredients is also fresh! The shaved ice even came in a presentation with the cooling air from the bottom plate. We couldn’t resist to order their soybean ice cream too, we got in a cup sized and it’s really good. Note that parking can be hard to find because it’s located in Damansara Uptown, it’s limited parking but there’s an option of parking in the Starling Mall which is only around 10 minutes walking distances and you can go shopping after the dessert. ##wecreate #kualalumpur #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers

The Curry Noodles had a rich, flavorful broth, with tofu and mock meats adding to the taste, along with some fresh veggies like broccoli and eggplant.

They serve the skewers on a charcoal stove which is the traditional Japanese grill type. Even though the price of the food is slightly high, but the food quality and taste are good. It is highly recommended to make a reservation before your visit, as the shop often full house and needs to have long waiting time. 📍 Fujisawa Izakaya 📮 52M, Jalan SS 21/58, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor 🕒 Mon – Sun : 12 pm - 3 pm | 5.30pm - 11 pm

#wheretogo Craving for iced cold desserts after meal? Well, when you are in Damansa Uptown area, pay Aftermeal Desserts a visit! They have expanded since my last visit and have many seats to accommodate more patrons. However, they have adapted the 1hour dining rule to cope with the amount of customers. Their menu was rather limited, but certainly adequate. They have shaved ice, cheesecakes and beverages. I ordere Iron Lady Tea Kakigori and Royal Calamansi Kakigori. Both were very flavorful! The shaved ice had a nice texture and packed with flavor. Address: 52, Jalan SS 21/58, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Price: ~RM20 Rating: 4/5

A friend brought me to Soufflé at Damansara Uptown. It was 9pm on a Saturday and there was already a long queue. For someone who hates queues, I initially gave it a pass and we drove around looking for other dessert spots but... its uptown. All the good spots had queues. We were lucky to get a parking spot very nearby. Uptown is notorious for its lack of parking despite having so many good cafes and businesses. So glad we settled on this place. The queue moved surprisingly quickly despite the waiter giving us a heads up of 20 min wait. we were only in the queue about 5-10 mins. It was the wait for the food that actually took 20 mins. Prices are KL prices but it was definitely worth the wait. Soft, pillowy soufflé pancakes that taste like a dream. the chocolate paired very well with the chocolate soft serve. It's no wonder why this place is constantly packed with queues. Left close to midnight and the place was still 80% full. #soufflepancake #deliciousfood
