The place.
Malay-heritage café food — lontong udang, nasi lemak ayam berempah, mee bandung — alongside decent coffee. One of the few spots in Ara Damansara where the coffee and the local food are both worth ordering.

Long mornings, working lunches, and the kind of visit that turns into two hours. Bring someone you actually want to talk to — the space rewards it.
What regulars say.
Had a great dining experience at Rasa Nostra. We ordered lontong udang & nasi lemak ayam berempah. The lontong is so flavourful. And the highlight of all is the Pandan Butter Latte! Sooo yummy 😋
I came here with high expectations of having a good Mee Bandung which is quite difficult to find after seeing a video showing it as one of thier better offering. However came away disappointed as the prawns in their mee Bandung undang galah was small and not fresh, properly cooked or cleaned. The mee was also over cooked. The service staff was quite dismissive when I complained about the prawns The outlet was quite stuffy and warm when I went over at around 10 am in the motning.
Tempoyak Patin is soooo goood!!! And the Mee Kari is really good, except for the noodle are "putus-putus", the TASTE is REALLY GOOD, the photo in the menu is NOT for illustration! Taste as good as it looks! Love it!! The staff is very well mannered as well 👍🏻
