[KUALA LUMPUR] Ask any person Malaysian for suggestion for matcha area to look into as well as the consentaneous response will certainly be Niko Neko Matcha.
Spearheading the matcha motion in Malaysia, Niko Neko Matcha resources as well as supplies artisanal matcha from various areas of Japan, remain in in their breads or beverages.
The brand name has a pure, minimalistic as well as zen touch in their appearances as well as yet it brings a solid comparison to the standard Japanese tea society.
As a matcha fan myself, I had actually seen their electrical outlet in Bangsar prior to Covid-19 as well as made it an indicate see their front runner shop in Chinatown throughout this journey.
With a solid emphasis in both their electrical outlet layouts as well as food selection things, there is currently a line developed prior to the coffee shop opened up also on a weekday.
Niko Neko Matcha 2.0 has actually a lengthened design, with a retail area at the front end of the store.
The whole area is white in colour, lined with a lengthy white bench as well as black pillow seats on the right-hand man side.
Right in the center of the coffee shop, this is where the matcha bar counter lies as well as with all the food as well as beverages prep work happening below.
Specific porcelain can be seen nicely shown on the left hand side.
The emphasize is the metal framework lining the whole ceiling, with light bulbs brightening the whole area.
4 various matcha powder are utilized for their Lattes, specifically REN (better from Mie, Japan), KIKU (Yame, Japan), Ajisai (Yame, Japan) as well as YURI (Mie, Japan).
REN is the best in their matcha choice, with an unique umami as well as velvety preference, KIKU on the various other hand is extra nutty, whereas Ajisai has a solid soybean-like flavour.
In addition to their timeless Lattes, there is a substantial choice of Trademark Cocktails (RM 15-18, SGD 5-6) below.
I purchased the California (RM 15, SGD 5) as well as Budak Melaka (RM 15, SGD 5), both crafted making use of YURI matcha, understood to be extra rejuvenating with a veggie preference.
Branding-wise, Niko Neko Matcha likewise have their very own glass wares with their famous pet cat logo design inscribed on it.
The The Golden State (RM 15, SGD 5) is instilled with YURI matcha as well as spicy Yuzu Japanese Lemon with an apart layer, lemon flavor syrup, carbonated water as well as dried pineapple as well as thyme.
It has a citrusy as well as rejuvenating note, that is ideal for Malaysia’s warm as well as moist climate.
The Budak Melaka (RM 15, SGD 5), on the various other hand, is extra natural with YURI matcha as well as Malaysia’s preferred gula melaka syrup.
Garnished with desiccated toasted coconut for an included problem as well as pandan leaves for a great smelling coating, the mix is moderate pleasant as well as fragrant.
Not to be missed out on are their vast choice of breads instilled with their very own matcha powder.
Very advise every person to see early as their breads are just readily available in minimal amount daily.
The AJISAI/ Intense Matcha Tiramisu (RM 16, SGD 5.30) is my preferred, really solid, durable, umami preference that matcha-holics are watching out for.
With a black charcoal almond crust utilized as the base, layered with a AJISAI matcha sponge as well as cosy AJISAI mascarpone lotion, the tiramisu is fragile with various appearances crammed in it.
The Gooey Genmaicha Oyaki (RM11, SGD 3.50) deserves a reference, a crunchy caramelized external layer that is cosy as well as wet on the within like a standard Tau Vehicle Piah.
In the facility, it is totally full of MOKUREN Genmaicha custard dental filling. That is aromatic as well as not subduing.
