But paradoxically enough, apart from coffeeshops or roadside stalls, there aren’t many alternatives if one seeks a more stylish and refined setting in which to indulge in local and regional fare.
The opening of Aseana CafeBar at Straits Quay changes all that.
With an elegant, chic indoor and alfresco setting complemented by a variety of scrumptious offerings close to home, the lifestyle cafe fills a niche in the market.
Melium Group’s PR, advertising and events manager Ferhat Nazri-Aziz said the picturesque, waterfront setting of Straits Quay couldn’t be more ideal for the brand’s second outlet, after the first at Suria KLCC.
“We wanted to bring back the local heritage and offer patrons a nice place with a truly Asean feel, where they can relax and take time to appreciate regional delicacies,” he said during a media food tasting session recently.
Earlier, pressmen also got to sample signature items from Melium’s other outlet at Straits Quay, DOME Cafe, located just across Aseana at the Main Lobby.
Done up in the familiar old-world European coffeehouse ambience, it was opened late last year.
It is the brand’s fifth outlet in Penang and 16th in the country.
