Nestled in a quiet area of Empire Shopping Gallery, Japanese-inflected Sora Cafe is a sanctuary for shoppers who needs a place to rest and rejuvenate. Whether you're alone or with a friend, come enjoy delicious drinks while soaking in the Zen ambience. Soaring to the top of our list is their Uji Matcha Latte (RM12). Kyoto-sourced uji matcha powder is mixed in a tea bowl with a bamboo whisk, which is said to help enhance texture and flavour, and that translates to that creamy, bittersweet balance in every sip. This is also one of rare cafes currently serving roasted green tea drinks — take this opportunity to try their Houjicha Latte (RM12). It has a mellower flavour as compared to matcha, but the aromatic finish that comes from the roasting process adds an interesting dimension to the drink. If you're in a mood to #treatyourself, their Matcha Adzuki Mousse dessert, topped with heaps of matcha mousse, should hit the spot.
Avg price per person: RM15
