Dungun KL

Taking over now defunct Lids & Finch, Dungun embodies the essence of its office building location with coffee, cakes and sustaining lunch-hour meals. For a break from the food trucks in the area, head here with a colleague or two. The kitchen whips up simple, quick and easy to satisfy recipes like the Roasted Chicken (RM23) that comes in the form of a tender thigh atop mash, along with a homey brown sauce. Alternating white and black charcoal bread for a play on colour and texture, the Chicken Cheese & Pesto Sandwich (RM17) also packs hearty flavours with no lack of that tasty pesto sauce. Otherwise, the Smoked Duck Sandwich can also be a rewardingly smoky-savoury choice. If it's a mid-afternoon tea break you're here for, order the house-baked Lemon Poppyseed Cake (RM13). Its sweet and tart balance will go well with a cup of the cafe's dark, roasty coffee.
Avg price per person: RM30

Always known for the good coffee served here, especially in its iced form — one of the rare ones that evades pungent milkiness for a creamy, bittersweet cuppa. The Lemon Poppyseed cake's a sweet and zesty bonus although I imagine it would go even better with a hot black coffee.
