Pizza AMANE Tokyo
Pizza Amane Tokyo (TTDI, Kuala Lumpur) is one of KL’s newest viral pizza spots, bringing a bold, Tokyo-inspired take on oversized New York-style pizza to the city’s food scene. Recently opened in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), the concept is already gaining traction for its massive 60cm pizzas, vibrant orange interior, and highly shareable dining experience. Positioned as a flagship collaboration concept, Pizza Amane blends Japanese precision with American-style pizza culture, offering oversized slices designed to be “bigger than your face” - a key factor driving its early social media buzz. The brand also emphasizes 100% halal ingredients, making it accessible to a wider audience in Kuala Lumpur. The space itself is designed with a high-energy, content-first aesthetic-bright orange interiors, clean branding, and open dining layouts-making it ideal for group visits, social content, and casual hangouts.
Shio Artisans, Taman Tun Dr Ismail
Shio Artisans has opened its flagship cafe in Taman Tun Dr Ismail — a bright neighbourhood bakery built around shio pan, the Japanese salt bread, alongside bagels and babka. Baker-founder Terry ferments the dough slowly, using flour and fruit yeast cultures rather than commercial yeast, which is what gives the salt bread its crisp shell and light, buttery interior. What to Order at Shio Artisans The shio pan comes out of the oven at 10.30am — eaten plain, or laced with maple butter. Also worth ordering: tomato feta toast with kombu butter, a bagel with cranberry cream cheese, and the braided babka. For sourdough shio pan in TTDI, or a bakery in Taman Tun worth a morning detour, Shio Artisans is timed around that 10.30am bake.
