HOW TO GET HERE?
1. Look for ENOTECA at Plaza Damansara. On the right side of the restaurant, you will see a stairwell that has a ‘Jungle Bird’ sign. Walk up the stairs, you will see Jungle Bird, keep walking upstairs, you will hear jazz music, you are close so keep walking up and you’ll see New York-esque street light and a black door. That will be Gaslight Cafe.
2. Try WAZE or Google Maps to The Gaslight.
3. If all else fails, call Meliza at 012xxxxxxx
