Hartamas may be more of a Japanese turf when it comes to food. Plaza Damas itself has three prominent Japanese restaurants: Uokatsu, Kushiyaki Kuni and Rakuzen. However, if it’s coffee and brunch food you’re looking for, there’s Tomorrow People. The café tries to stay low-profile – no Instagram hype, no Facebook page.
The food here is brunch fusion; think gula Melaka French toast, opah-style spaghetti and beef potato pancakes reminiscent of begedil (called 'Eggs Yang Degil'). If you need something light and sweet to start the day, get the ‘Toast Manis’ – we like it for the homemade gula Melaka cream and pandan buttercream slathered against the thick, crunchy toast. Or if you’re being (really) adventurous, there’s tapai pancake, topped with homemade ice cream for an additional RM4. The ice cream flavours range from sweet potato to sago, depending on what they find at the market. As for coffee, the café uses beans by Artisan Roast.
