Hachiban Izakaya Kelawai Road Dinner
Japanese
- RM20 - RM50 per pax
Chiefeater Paula Tan had a delicious izakaya dinner at Hachiban Izakaya Kelawai Road and summed it up simply as oishi


Gelato
The gelato at Paolo Paolo Gelato in Taman Paramount is definitely a satisfying treat for any dessert lover. However, what I found even more interesting was the environment.

They have taken what was essentially a “half-shop” lot and completely “vibed it up.” It is a masterclass in interior design, balancing a raw, unfinished aesthetic with warm lighting and thoughtful furniture to create a space that feels both edgy and inviting. It’s a great example of how to make a small, narrow space feel architecturally significant.

Artisanal Flavours: Their menu features sophisticated options like Classic Vanilla (blended with Tahitian and Balinese pods), Browned Butter, and Yogurt with Mango.


We had a half salted caramel and a half classic vanilla with a dollop of browned butter.

Design-Led Space: The interior utilizes raw concrete walls, warm accent lighting, and minimalist green seating to create a distinct, modern atmosphere that stands out in the neighborhood.
Score: 8.27/10
M – Meal Value
As an artisanal gelato shop, the pricing is standard for premium, handcrafted scoops. The quality of the ingredients (such as the specific use of dual-origin vanilla) justifies the cost.
Score: 7.8/10
V – Venue & Vibes
This is the cafe’s strongest asset. The ability to turn a narrow “half-shop” into a stylish, atmospheric destination makes it one of the most visually compelling spaces in Taman Paramount.
Score: 9.0/10
X – X-Factor
The X-factor is the spatial transformation. The contrast between the raw, industrial shell of the building and the refined, creamy gelato creates a memorable experience that is about more than just the food—it’s about the atmosphere.
Score: 8.0/10
