It became evident that we were trapped in the heavy congestion of rush hour while leaving Kuchai Lama. After nearly 20 minutes of navigating through the traffic, we opted to wait at a nearby café, anticipating that within one hour, the traffic would ease, permitting us to arrive at our homes in 15 minutes. A quick online search led us to RUANG, a good rated establishment with an average Google score of 4.7/5 from over 550 individuals.
If you are seeking an aesthetically pleasing cafe that embodies ‘ala Bali’ vibes, Ruang may fulfill your requirements. Situated within the Kuchai Exchange, a business hub comprising commercial units and office blocks, one must navigate the surrounding area to locate this cafe. There are parking facilities available directly outside the establishment, with a charge of RM 1.50 per hour. It is advisable to anticipate a waiting period for a parking spot to become available.
I liked the interior; it felt like I was transported to another place, a serene oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. The neutral and earthy tones harmoniously blended with each other, while the rattan lights cast a warm, inviting glow that contributed to the overall ambiance. The thoughtful combination of these elements automatically created a sense of ease and calmness, enveloping me in comfort and tranquility. I found myself appreciating the subtle details, like the textures of the furnishings and the soft colors that seemed to breathe life into the space. There were quiet nooks where one could retreat to read a book or simply enjoy a moment of solitude if some privacy was required, making it an ideal setting for relaxation and reflection.
Menu
Blue Coconut Caffe Latte, RM 14.50 + Chocolate Brownie, RM 12
The Blue Coconut Caffe Latte is an obvious choice for those who appreciate coconut-infused beverages. It was presented elegantly in a glass, showcasing a striking blue liquid alongside a serving of black coffee. The concept behind the Blue Coconut Caffe Latte involves combining the contents of both glasses into a single drink; however, upon sampling the blue liquid independently, I found it to be delightful. This beverage is fundamentally composed of coconut, coconut milk, and a subtle sweetener, resulting in a drink that is both pleasing and smooth, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The Chocolate Brownie was an indulgent dessert, presenting a delightful experience. The cake was characterized by its dense and moist composition, meticulously crafted to achieve a rich texture that effortlessly melted upon consumption. With the inclusion of melted chocolate pieces and crunchy walnuts, each bite offered an exemplary balance of sweetness and nuttiness. Each mouthful proved to be satisfying, particularly for those who enjoy brownies and chocolate, myself included.
I personally like this cafe, from the way it looks and feel to the drink and dessert I tasted. As RUANG has a large menu, with a variety of dishes choices, I look forward to revisiting this cafe during lunch hour next.
