> Quick view: Kakatoo's reopening deals at The Starling, Damansara Uptown, ran from 25 September to 31 October 2026 and are over. We checked kakatoo.my and Kakatoo Malaysia's Facebook page on 7 November 2026 and found no new offer for this outlet. Below is what the four rounds were, what the menu costs at full price, and how to keep the bill down now.
Kakatoo is a JAKIM halal-certified Nyonya chain run by LJP Kitchen Sdn Bhd, known for nasi kerabu, curry laksa and kuih. Its Linktree lists 10 outlets, mostly in the Klang Valley. The Starling branch is at F-134, First Floor, The Starling, Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya, and opens 10am to 10pm, according to Kakatoo's own outlet list. Prices below come from the menus Kakatoo publishes on kakatoo.my.
What the reopening deals were
Kakatoo ran four rounds at this outlet only, each with its own dates:
- 25-26 September: Portuguese Egg Tart Buy 1 Free 1, from 12pm.
- 27 September-4 October: Hi-Tea Set 50% off, 3pm-6pm.
- 5-17 October: Onde Onde Bingsu 50% off, 3pm-6pm.
- 18-31 October: a free Rose Blue Pea drink with Nyonya Style Nasi Kerabu, all day.
At half price, Tea For 2 worked out to RM24.95 and the bingsu to RM14.45 before charges. Those prices no longer apply.
What you pay now
These are Kakatoo's published menu prices. Every menu page adds 10% service charge and 6% SST, which together add roughly 17%. The "after charges" figures below are our own estimates, rounded.
- Tea For 2: RM49.90 (about RM58 after charges). Four pieces of Nyonya kuih, two samosas, two Portuguese tarts, a slice of onde-onde cake and two teh or Nyonya coffees.
- Tea For 1: RM29.90 (about RM35). One kuih, one tart, a slice of onde-onde cake and one drink.
- Onde Onde Bingsu: RM28.90 (about RM34). Shaved ice with pandan milk, gula Melaka syrup, onde-onde mochi and grated coconut. It is big enough for two to share.
- Nyonya Style Nasi Kerabu: RM33.90 (about RM40). Comes with Baba fried chicken, satay chicken, fried angku and salted egg.
- Butterfly pea drinks: RM10.90 to RM17.90 on the classic menu.
Worked examples for two people
- Afternoon tea for two: one Tea For 2 set, about RM58. That covers two drinks and enough kuih and pastry for a light meal, and it is the cheapest way for two to eat here.
- Lunch for two: two Nasi Kerabu sets plus two butterfly pea drinks at the low end of the range comes to RM89.60 before charges, about RM105 after.
- Dessert stop: one Onde Onde Bingsu shared, about RM34, or RM17 each.
Ordering Tea For 2 instead of two Tea For 1 sets saves RM9.90 before charges, and you get two extra pieces of kuih and two samosas, though one fewer slice of onde-onde cake.
Who it suits, and who should skip it
Good for: shoppers and office workers around Damansara Uptown who want halal Nyonya food, families who need a halal sit-down meal in the mall, and anyone in the mood for kuih and teh in the afternoon.
Skip it if you came only for the reopening discounts. Without them, Kakatoo is a mid-priced mall restaurant: a nasi kerabu set costs about RM40 after charges, more than a kopitiam plate. Wait for the next promotion if price is what matters.
How to keep the bill down
- Share the sets. Tea For 2 and the bingsu are both built for sharing.
- Watch Kakatoo's Facebook page. That is where the reopening deals were announced. The website's news section has not posted anything since March 2026.
- Ask about the WOW Rewards Card. Kakatoo launched it in August 2025 for its 12th anniversary: you pay RM100 and get RM150 in cash credit plus RM350 in vouchers, with 30,000 cards in the first phase. Kakatoo has not published card terms or said whether it is still on sale, so ask at the counter what the vouchers cover and when they expire before you buy.
Fine print
- This outlet's menu may differ. The prices above come from the flagship (Quill City Mall) and classic menus on Kakatoo's website. Kakatoo's bingsu page says Nyonya Bingsu is sold only at the Quill City Mall flagship, so the refreshed Starling branch may use its own menu. Check the menu in front of you.
- Charges are extra. Every listed price is before the 10% service charge and 6% SST.
