The Kitchen Table

Great cakes and coffee.
I stumbled upon this gem one afternoon while I was driving around Damasara Kim. The exterior of the establishment is really eye catching thanks to their white walls and minimalistic signage.
The interior walls were painted completely white, giving it a very clean look, which also matched their wooden flooring and furniture. Also, the interior is brightly lit with compliments from the sun which floods the establishment through the large windows.
I’ve only been here for the cakes unfortunately, but there seems to be a huge hype surrounding their breakfast and dinner menu.
As for the cakes, I definitely would recommend the Banana tin cake and the Carrot & pineapple cake. Both baked on site daily and both extremely popular with the diners.
The service here is good, waiters are polite and are eager to please.
I would definitely be back soon to try out their main courses !

When I stepped food into Kitchen Table I immediately fell in love with the interior! It somehow reminded me of Kinfolk. I love how they play around with minimal colours but the space still looks complete. The simplicity of the place makes it look airy and I absolutely love the atmosphere. We were also greeted very friendly when we entered.
The food did not take long. I tried Thai Basil Pesto and it was a unique dish. The pasta was cooked al dente, the mixture of the pesto wasn’t too oily and had a minty taste. Unfortunately the portion is pretty small and I was still hungry after I finished eating. I also got to try pulled pork with BBQ sauce + egg + Apple sourdough. I absolutely love the sourdough and it is definitely baked fresh! The portion for this dish is just nice and overall, a tasty meal.
The food is worth the price even though it is expensive because the ambience and service was great! I had a wonderful time (:

The Kitchen Table is a little hard to find. My friends and I took two whole rounds before being able to find it and our gps was constantly lagging on us. My tip would be to stay within SS20 (the street across Tropicana City Mall) and you’ll be able to find it eventually.
I instantly fell in love with the European-​fused-​Asian atmosphere of this café. The were brick walls, glossy wooden tables and chairs, parquet floor, and white walls. It felt so much like home or like walking into a random family café when travelling in say Italy?
What first caught us was the nicely arranged display of cakes at the counter. After checking out the cakes, we took a table next to the window, right in front of the kitchen.
Two of us ordered the lunch set for RM15.90 that comes with a small glass of iced tea. I had the Orrechiette pasta with pork ragu and my friend had the fried chicken chop. I love my pasta. It tasted so flavourful and they were generous with the ragu that it filled me until I could no longer have some cake for desserts. Two thumbs up! The chicken chop was really really crispy. I could hear the crunch from just cutting it. What I first had in mind when I ate the rice from the chicken chop plate was this was definitely cooked with tender love and passion. Something so homey that only a grandma would cook. So did the pasta. Flavourful but it feels like it came from a family’s recipe.
My other friend ordered a flourless chocolate cake because she had had her lunch. Her first comment was that it was similar to eating a truffle but in a huge portion. I took a bite and I found too too dry. I immediately gulped down some water. Two bites, and that was enough for me. My friend laughed and said «now you know why I needed so much water». We wanted to try the cheesecake but we were much much too full. Next time maybe. I would love to come back here when time permits me because it is quite a bit of a drive from where I live.

There’s a similar pattern here on this street where it houses Euro Deli, Kompassion and this Kitchen Table. They all look poshy and nice and most of all, they serve pork! The trend setter must be Euro Deli, being one of the earliest hardcore pork restaurant on that row of shops.
So the lunch choices and dinner choices are different. I was there for lunch and there’s only Spanish omelet, fennel & chili pork ragu, thai basil pesto, buckwheat fried chicken chop, pulled pork with BBQ sauce just to briefly name you the items.
Everything looks amazing but unfortunately we only have stomach for 2. I got the pork ragu which comes with orechiette pasta in curry leaf oil. My friend took the Omelet with tons of greens on it. Mine was priced a bit steep, RM22 and my friends was at RM14.
Couple these with the bakery we bought to take away, the bill came up to easily above Rm50. Not a place where I would frequent that much. But do bear in mind that Tuesday to Friday’s business set lunch is quite a steal because a 3 course meal would cost only Rm21.90 with iced tea.

The Kitchen Table is one of those restaurants that really, really honest and serves great food to boot. The young owners here are advocates of local produce (always a plus point!) and are innovative in the simple modern American food that they cook. Plus, it’s an attractive space; it’s clean, chic and fuss-​free for brunch or dinner.
I go weak for their bakery items, which are available during the day. My favourite here is the sourdough bread, it’s super dense and weighty, great to mop up one of their lunchtime soups. The carrot cake (although a tad sweet for my liking), raspberry crack bars, banana bread and lemon loaf are great too! It’s clear that the team knows their way around a kitchen.

Located along the same row as Euro Deli, The Kitchen Table pride itself on serving you awesome Modern American comfort food while showcasing local Malaysian produce. Dropping by for dinner, the menu we were given was not exactly the usual kind. Dishes are categorised as small plates, large plates, vegetables and desserts. With limited selection, this saves you time agonising which dish to choose.
One of my favourite dishes was the Citrus salad, grilled calamari, capers & shallot vinaigrette which was reminiscent of summer in the Greek islands. Enough for you to sit up and take notice. I think another table favourite was the Buckwheat fried chicken, thai basil crisps & pomelo salad. Your fast food fried chicken pales in comparison once you have a bite of it. Although at RM 38 most of you might just go right back to eating the fast food fare. However on that night we could not stop thinking how crispy yet not oily the chicken was. We concluded our meal with Earl Grey Crème Brulee. Sweet with a hint of tea flavour, we finished it with a sigh of satisfaction.
Overall our experience here was pretty good. The server was attentive and was happy to give us his recommendation. In terms of pricing, it is pretty steep, making this a once in a blue moon affair. Parking is also pretty limited and depending on luck.

I came into the Kitchen Table expecting a typical western meal by looking at the limited choices on the menu, but I didn’t come prepared to be blown away by the honey & thyme roast chicken with carrot, beet slaw & sourdough, which cost me RM15.90. The toasted sourdough was awesome as it was very crunchy and it blended very well with the beet slaw and the chicken. The food came quite fast and the staff were polite.
