As Malaysians, we're thankful that we have a plethora of food options to chose from. Chinese, Indian, Malay - Our local cuisine is world famous and reasonable too! Even a movement control order (MCO) can't stop us from getting our cravings for local food (Support your coffee shop uncle, auntie peeps!) to go, of course. We're also lucky we have food delivery options such as Foodpanda and GrabFood to bring these yummilious food right to our doorsteps.
But sometimes we want something different, something international and that is where these small local cafes come in. They are well known for their tasty dishes and also offer delivery or pickup during MCO. So since we're cooped up indoors, why not give them a try?

4. Curee
Fancy something Japanese yet different? We present to you, Curee, pronounced like Curry. The name of this quirky cafe behind Berjaya Times Square takes after its signature dish, Hokkaido soup curry. Many would know Japanese curry but soup curry is also a specialty of Japan or rather Hokkaido. We recommend asking them to add on grilled cheese into your spicy comforting soup. Currently they are selling their own inhouse curry cubes for your MCO cooking adventures.
