Start your morning at Stella Café inside RexKL — grab a creamy latte and soak up the artsy vibes of this converted 1940s cinema.
Then, explore BookXcess’s towering shelves for discounted books and photo-worthy corners. Wander deeper to Mentega & Co. for quirky lifestyle goods, and peek into The Back Ground for local designer pop-ups.
From RexKL, take a 5-minute walk to The Zhongshan Building, a cluster of indie studios and galleries. Visit OUR ArtProjects for contemporary art, Bono Stellar Studio for colorful installations, and Tintabudi for rare books. Wrap up your day at Chocha Foodstore, just around the corner, with modern Malaysian sharing plates and natural wine.
Suggested Route:
RexKL (Stella Café → BookXcess → Mentega & Co. → The Back Ground) → walk to The Zhongshan Building (OUR ArtProjects → Bono Stellar Studio → Tintabudi) → dinner at Chocha Foodstore
Cost: 💰 MYR 80–200 (coffee, books, souvenirs, dinner)
Tips: Go early for better lighting & fewer crowds, wear comfy shoes, bring a tote bag for your finds.
