Japan’s viral I’m donut? has landed at The Exchange TRX to make its Southeast Asian debut. Expect more than 30 sweet and savoury nama donuts, including 16 Malaysia-exclusive flavours such as Cham, Milo, Pandan, Coconut and Banana Fritter Caramel.

The signature donuts have a subtle, crispy exterior and fluffy, cloud-like centre, with banana used in the Kuala Lumpur dough. Prices start at RM4.60 for the Original and go up to RM12 for filled donuts and sandos. Matcha drinks, hojicha latte and other beverages are also available.

2. AiFOKATO

Opening 9 Oct 2026

Korean dessert brand AiFOKATO is bringing its diamond-shaped gelato and customisable affogato to Malaysia for the first time. Choose from vanilla, pistachio, matcha or chocolate gelato, then pair it with espresso, matcha or chocolate for 12 combinations.

Also look out for the −86 Frozen Dirty Latte, which combines an intensely chilled milk layer with hot coffee, plus Korean Butter Tteok and coffee. The TRX outlet takes design cues from traditional Korean hanok architecture.

Malaysia is getting its first Lindt Chocolate Shop at The Exchange TRX this October. Expect familiar favourites such as Lindor Truffles and Excellence bars, alongside Lindt’s signature smooth chocolate.

The chocolatier also traces its roots to Rodolphe Lindt’s 1879 invention of the conching process, which helped create smoother, more velvety chocolate.

4. Cili Kampung

Just a girl with strong opinions on pop culture. Not a chef, but growing up with Gordon Ramsay if he's a 4'7 traditional Malay lady does have its benefits.
