Forget stuffy special occasions and formal dining – European café culture just crash-landed in Cheras, and it’s bringing sunshine, fantastic pizza and a whimsical Dessert Tree you absolutely have to see to believe!

Apricot by Peaches & Cream, the latest and brightest venture from the acclaimed Chef Victor Yap, has officially opened its doors at MyTOWN Shopping Centre. Unlike its more refined siblings in the Peaches and Cream family, this spot is all about democratising that rare European indulgence, turning it into an everyday, feel-good delight for everyone.

A Sun-Drenched Parisian Vibe Meets Malaysian Warmth

Step inside apricot and the name clicks instantly. Much like the juicy fruit, the café is warm, bright and sweet – a vibrant continuation of Chef Yap’s fruit-inspired brand journey. Picture airy, sun-drenched spaces reminiscent of a chic Parisian café, but buzzing with that unmistakable, inclusive Malaysian hospitality. With halal certification already underway, apricot ensures its 114 seats are ready to welcome the country’s diverse community.

As Chef Yap puts it: “I want guests to walk in as strangers and leave feeling like they’ve found their local spot, where great European food is just part of everyday life, not just a special occasion.”

Pizza, Pasta and the Showstopper

The menu marks an exciting culinary chapter, introducing a playful twist on continental comfort food.

Get ready for the brand’s first-ever in-house pizzeria! Expect fresh, artisanal pies and even inventive Dessert Pizzas for a sweet, doughy finish.

Don’t miss the Chicken Nduja Pasta, crafted with housemade halal chicken sausage. It’s tipped to be the new signature comfort dish – bold, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

But the real dazzling centrepiece is The Dessert Tree!

Guests literally pick their sweet treat right off an artful, whimsical display before the dish is dramatically finished tableside with a rich, velvety custard pour. It transforms dessert from a simple dish into an interactive memory and pure joy.

A Sweet Invitation You Can’t Refuse

Since opening on November 4, 2025, apricot has been poised to become the ultimate local hub for families, friends and food lovers. To celebrate the grand launch, they are rolling out the “First Taste” promotion, allowing you to experience the magic of the Dessert Tree for just RM1.90++!

From quiet coffee dates to lively family brunches, apricot is the new destination blending continental flavours, fun and generous Malaysian warmth. Get ready to make European flair part of your everyday life!
