Vibes Cafe & Bistro

If you face a constant battle choosing between a plate of indulgent nasi lemak and a visit to the newest hipster cafe, Vibes is the answer. Nestled in the new Utropolis Shah Alam mall, the new cafe gives you the best of both worlds — homey local delights and a condusive space to work, study or simply hang out with your classmates. Priced at RM13.90, the Vibes Nasi Lemak is classic comfort food served with your choice of ayam berempah (spiced fried chicken) or sotong T-Rex (sambal squid). For a fuller, crunchier experience, we recommend you go with their signature ayam berempah, which crackles with fragrant, crunchy bits.
Avg Price: RM20

Vibes is a little slice of heaven for those with a big appetite but on a small budget. Serving up comfort western and local food below the RM25 mark sure is a bargain in my books. I was told to try their Signature Nasi Lemak (RM13.9) and Chicken Wraps but I was too early (lunch starts at 12pm). Thankfully they’ve got tempting breakfast meals such as the Big Breakfast (RM22.9) pictured here and coffee to go along with the quiet, almost tranquil, vibes.
