Anther & Stigma

3 eggs, mushrooms, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Perfect for those on a keto diet! Flavour on point as well.

Too pretty not to order. Buttery croissant with caramelised banana, berries and coconut nectar. Croissant was way too buttery and overall it was too sweet for all of us.

Fairly new florist + cafe at Plaza Arkadia. The cafe was spacious and well decorated with floral theme. Sara, the owner was really friendly and really keen to get feedback to improve. In frame: Strawberry Tart (RM15) served on a gorgeous marble plate. Quite yummy. Looking forward to try their mains which has a mix of Asian-Western dishes.

This coconut nectar infused white cold brew really hit the spot for me as the sweetness was earthy and subtle unlike most sugary, headache-inducing concoctions. The ice cream elevated the creaminess of the drink overall. If you’re not a fan of the rich and creamy or just milk in your coffee in general, don’t go for this.

Had there been more cili padi, I would’ve found this rendition a pleasant savory counterpart as compared to the sweeter ones I’m used to having. The mantaos however, were on the dry side and took a bit of effort peeling/cutting through.

So much to be said about Anther & Stigma: It’s a gorgeous space and you wouldn’t even know where to stop looking. Onto the food. The kitchen is still in the R&D stages so expect to give your feedback to the team. Order the house granola bowl with homemade salted gula Melaka granola (not too sweet!!), cranberries, pumpkin seeds, seasonal fruits and fresh milk. I really like that they use fresh milk instead of yogurt and though it looks small, it actually is a filling meal.
