Getting chummy with the locals


The simple but inviting interior of Chums Cafe and Dining. — Photos: CHING YEE SING

Hipster cafés may be a dime a dozen in suburbs like Petaling Jaya but in Cheras, it’s not often that we come across one that’s pleasing to the eye and inviting to the tummy. Chums Café and Dining is one such hidden gem that I discovered quite by chance, and I’ve returned several times for its good food and drinks.

Opened two years ago, Chums is founded by three friends: a barista, a pâtissier and a chef. The owners must have hit on a winning formula as the dining space has now doubled its original size from when I visited last year.
