ABAH&SONS’CO

Chancing across this adorable looking place online, we made a point to drive all the way to Sg Besi last night to give this place a try. Abah & Sons. Co Motocafe is a lovely cafe cum gallery that will delight both automotive enthusiasts and foodie fans alike.

Located at The Trillium in Sungai Besi, the cafe i s the newes t venture by motorcycle custom builders Abah & Sons Co. Motorworks with local skate hero Pa’din Musa at the helm alongside his wife Mia and their friends. You can’t help but be fascinated by all the vintage motorcycle memorabilia all around you, it really is quite an experience to just sit there surrounded by Vespas and Lambrettas.

Decorated from floor to ceiling, there are even photos, trophies and personal items on display and it’s when you come to realize that motorcycles aren’t just some off duty “hobby” for the people of Abah & Sons, it is their way of life.

And there is something just so intimate and personal about being in this space as you take it all in. It’s almost as if they are giving you a sneak peek into their personal lives. We’ve heard rave reviews from friends about their food so we were really glad that we saved our appetite for the visit because their Salmon Rosti was delicious!

End your meal with a cup of coffee and a cake (supplied by Souka in TTDI) and you’re guaranteed to find yourself on your way to a food coma. Pay Abah & Sons a visit, it is quite an experience and someone told us once that Friday nights is when motorcycle enthusiasts will congregate at Abah & Sons, and that’s when you will see the most beautiful bikes around and meet the most interesting characters.

We aren’t too sure of the validity of it, but I guess it means there’s only one way to find out and that’s by seeing it for ourselves next time!
