APARTMENT 80 Rooftop Dessert Bar
Perched atop REXKL in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown, Apartment 80 is a hidden rooftop dessert bar where finding the entrance feels like a treasure hunt. The space rewards the climb above Bookxcess with an intimate, artfully industrial setting reminiscent of an art-filled loft belonging to a creative friend. The real draw is the inventive dessert menu, which reimagines traditional Malaysian flavours through a modern lens. Expect playful layers of texture and unexpected pairings, from kaya toast and cendol-inspired creations to a houjicha take on tiramisu. An outdoor courtyard offers open city views, especially atmospheric come nightfall, perfect for winding down under the open night sky. Complimentary still water, kombucha, and creative coffee options round out the experience, though some signature plates are worth a short wait. Warm, genuinely attentive service and a relaxed pace make it easy to linger. Ideal for dessert lovers, casual catch-ups, and anyone seeking a photogenic, out-of-the-way retreat after browsing the books downstairs.
