☕️ Asylum Coffeehouse – Singapore’s Specialty Blend Lands in Bangsar

#kualalumpurguide Singapore’s beloved Asylum Coffeehouse has just opened its first Malaysian outlet in Bangsar—nestled on Jalan Kemuja, this café brings refined Peranakan‑inspired coffee culture in a bright, minimalist space . ⸻ 🌟 What Makes It Stand Out • Keluak Espresso Blend: A signature roast inspired by buah keluak’s rich, nutty-chocolate flavours—bold and unforgettable . • Castillo Filter Series: Experimental filter coffee aged in rum barrels—think dark chocolate with a quirky boozy twist . ⸻ 🥐 Perfect Pairings • Kheng Cookies (Penang‑baked): Chunky-soft NY‑style cookies—Matchadamia is a crowd-pleaser . • PB&J Latte: A playful, made-for-Malaysia blend of peanut butter milk and jelly jam—sweet meets savory in a cup . ⸻ 🎯 Atmosphere & Experience • Airy, minimal yet cozy: Scandinavian-style furnishings, curved wooden ceilings, mosaic floors, and lots of natural light . • Welcoming service: Baristas are known for their knowledge and friendly adjustments—they’ll craft drinks to your palate (). • A coffee sanctuary: Quiet, work-friendly, with indoor and outdoor seating in a residential Bangsar enclave ⸻ ✅ Why You’ll Love It • For the coffee curious: From the unique Keluak blend to barrel-aged experiments, it’s a flavour exploration. • Cozy & chic vibes: Ideal for creative work breaks, chats, or solo indulgence in a sunlit setting. • Uniquely local twist: The PB&J Latte and Penang cookies add creative Malaysian flair to a SG original. ⸻ 💡 Pro Tips • Don’t miss the Castillo filter—a smooth, rum-barrel surprise. • Try both Keluak espresso and the PB&J Latte for contrasting depth and playfulness. • Head there early on weekends for best seating and fresh bakes.
