#springitinerary #foodie #discovermalaysia Who knew miso soup could be a revelation? At Ume Tei, this humble dish transforms into a masterpiece, balancing depth and delicacy in every sip. Tucked away in a quiet bookstore corner, this spot feels like a well-kept secret—one worth sharing. I opted for their golden-fried chicken set, where the star wasn’t just the impeccably crispy karaage, but the miso broth that accompanied it. Savory, slightly sweet, with just the right umami punch—it was a bowl of pure nostalgia. The minimalist wooden décor and soft jazz tunes made it an ideal pause in a busy day. *Travel Tip:* Pair your meal with their house-blended green tea for a refreshing finish. If you’re lucky, snag a window seat for people-watching bliss between bites.
