✨: Merchant's Lane is definitely a gem in the KL cafe scene, serving up palatable dishes in a charming space. ⁣

I was instantly reminded of Roller Coaster snacks of my childhood as soon as I tasted this dish. The smoky, peppery beef bacon was a great match with the crisp and fluffy mantao. The matcha latte, on the other hand, was accurately put by my friend @marsyakamarul as a liquified Matcha Kit Kat. ⁣

💬: Though I did enjoy the mantau, I wouldn't by any means call it Kungpao. I'd definitely rate it higher if it were just called a black pepper mantau 😂. The latte had good flavour, but it was slightly too sweet for my liking. ⁣

Nonetheless, the Saturday morning queue for a table at Merchant's Lane was definitely justified. Dining within its iconic old school interior and the hunt for its bright turquoise door is an experience unlike any other. ⁣
