A step closer at Closer Espresso Bar in KL.

Closer Kitchen & Espresso Bar has been opened 2 years ago in KL at Mutiara Damansara. My friend has invested part of it in this cafe and I've decided to visit it for the very first time. We arrived rather late in the evening because we were going for a cupping session whereby their barista is entering the world barista competition in December. So we are all there to review the various coffee beans brewed and evaluate its flavor.

The cafe is located at the very ground floor of the business building. Its internal decor is rather simple and straight forward. They served various types of coffee, tea, cakes, pastries but most people would come on weekends to have brunch or lighter lunch.

Lately their pasta has become a hit where it's easy and comfort food. Previously the grilled chicken chop was a fame. Somehow dishes tend to vary all the time according to people's taste buds.

The menus were creatively named such as Beauty & The Beef, When Duck meets Lychee, Jealous Mr. Pesto, I Love Carbonara...etc.
For coffee lovers, you can try the Hand-Brewed Pour Over at RM 13- RM 15.
There is also chai latte where it's sourced from Melbourne, Australia.

I have only tried the Cheese on Rosti since I loved the rosti from IKEA restaurant.
It was crispy, thin and light. Taste is spot on where the potatoes are carefully grated thinly to make into a nice pancake. It wasn't too oily and served with sour cream. I also had a chance to try its Espresso Panna Cotta which costs RM 6 for small little glass shot. 

Weekdays is swarmed by working professionals from the building the cafe is located. The weekend crowd consist of families, couples and friends hanging out.
