LUST for LIFE

The Loaf…The Loaf @ The Pavilion

Oct 27th, 2007 by Steven

Now you need not fly to Pulau Langkawi to patronize The Loaf – the Japanese-style bakery and bistro co-owned by former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. For those residing in the Klang Valley, just head to the newly-open Pavillion in Bukit Bintang, where The Loaf is located on the ‘road level’ floor. You can’t miss it as it has a frontage to the main road.

You have a choice of trying out its bakery products with freshly-brewed coffee and tea or opt for a fine dining experience. Its website says it has some 60 kinds of bread and pastry products.

Went to The Loaf recently for a late breakfast. It’s a thumb-up from me.

Incidentally, apart from saving on your airfare, I was told that the prices are lower than those charged at the Langkawi outlet in Telaga Harbour Park. Of course, there’s no harbour view in Kuala Lumpur.

Some background info on The Loaf: Dr Mahathir holds a controlling 51% stake in the firm that runs the bakery-cum-restaurant, with former Japanese banker Jiro Suzuki as his business partner. The Loaf first opened in Langkawi in 2006. Newspaper reports say that the company plans to expand to Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia in the near future.
