After a 'wild sheep chase,' this Kuala Lumpur café found its way home

Formerly known as Catcher in the Rye, the café and production space has been rebranded as Wild Sheep Home. It’s their way of gathering their forces and returning to their original dream when they first entered the food-and-beverage industry in 2015. First came the gangs of Instagrammers and would-be social influencers, hogging valuable real estate for their private photoshoots.
It’s clear running a café is quite a different thing from dreaming of one or owning one. Yet the couple persevered. Back then, Yap told me about their plans to start a coffee roastery some day. They expanded their team. But somehow everything felt unsatisfactory, as though their very efforts were taking them further away from what they originally set out to do.
Yap explains, “We shut our hot kitchen in PJ and were in the midst of transitioning when Covid-19 struck. Basically Sujian and I will focus on making more ice cream and coffee roasting. We invited the ex-partner of Tommy Le Baker to come in and open his bakery.”
