A well-established cafe in the heart of KL that can never get their coffee wrong

#celebrateit VCR is one of those places which no coffee lover would not know. It’s been around for a long while, and there’s a year (or some years) where it got listed as top 50 coffee in Asia. With that, it’s no surprise that the coffee is quality guaranteed. Their house blend was smooth yet bold with a nutty finish. What I newly tried was their chocolate tart. The rich velvety hazelnutty ganache atop a crumbly buttery base was pure indulgence—but I personally think it’s best served with about 10min in room temperature. Else it would be a bit dense and hard (like in the picture). One of their signature items is soft shell crab burger. Yes it’s pricey, but you don’t get to enjoy soft shell crab of that size, and the flavor combination is nice too, with the seaweed and eggyolk umami. In term of the ambience, its wooden two-floor setup feels pretty tropical. Not the most appealing vibe to me, but it could be the most unique to foreign tourists from colder climate.
