Rud staff, however, don’t seem to be as enthusiastic about families with young children who wander in – square parents and pre-adolescents don’t have strong Instagram game, after all.
Rud Karting opens from 11am to 2am daily.
WHAT TO EAT
It’s hard to go wrong with Eco Botanic’s well-curated eateries, which include a branch of the popular downtown bakery and restaurant Seven Oaks. Meanwhile the Eco Galleria complex finally filled up this year to add several interesting dining options, such as a Mexican restaurant, Mamasita. Other notable outlets here are Anmour Cafe, The Lunch, The Five and Corgi’s Talk, where you can coo over their resident corgis.
The area’s expat presence can be felt with a half dozen Korean-run eateries (most of which are located near Sunway Big Box), a couple of French restaurants (including Les Bouchons in Puteri Harbour) and an authentic Italian trattoria.
Manzanita Eco Botanica
Our Eco Botanic go-to has long been Manzanita Patisserie & Boulangerie for its consistently good food and desserts. Its soothing ambience is a respite from the heat and traffic of JB, while its western fare may be a welcome change of pace from all the great local food.
