At the heart of Soooka Cafe in Damansara Perdana is our signature cakoi -crispy, golden-fried dough sourced from an independent artisan who has perfected his craft over 25 years. We transform this humble Malaysian staple into creative dishes that bridge tradition and modern cafe culture.
The Art of Perfect Cakoi
Cakoi, known as youtiao in Chinese, is a deep-fried dough stick beloved across Southeast Asia. What makes ours special starts with the dough itself. Our artisan supplier has spent a quarter of a century perfecting the exact ratio of flour, water, and technique needed to achieve that ideal texture -perfectly crispy on the outside, light and pillowy inside.
Every batch of dough arrives fresh, and we fry each piece to golden perfection in our kitchen. The result is a cakoi that’s leagues above what you’ll find at your typical pasar malam -consistently airy, never greasy, with that satisfying crunch that keeps you reaching for more.

Cakoi with Coconut Ice Cream & Jackfruit
