1. Meow Me Cat House

For cats and cakes, visit Meow Me Cat House, where you can enjoy the company of adorable cats without paying an entrance or cover fee. The experience doesn’t come entirely free, though, as you have to spend a minimum of RM8 to secure a seat in the cafe.
We especially loved the Tiramisu Latte (RM15), a bittersweet iced latte topped with creamy mascarpone, cocoa powder, and ladyfingers. If you’re looking for a light bite, go for the Basque Burnt Cheesecake (RM18), a creamy and hearty treat that’s perfect for two people.
