Petaling Jaya, 11 February 2026 – Dotty’s Pastries & Coffee, Kuala Lumpur’s beloved artisanal bakery, is set to embark on a new growth chapter following Cili Kampung Malaysia’s acquisition of a 50% stake in the brand. The partnership was formalised in a signing ceremony at Ruang Rama Event Space, with key executives from both sides in attendance. This strategic move coincides with Dotty’s 10th anniversary, reflecting a shared ambition to scale its footprint while maintaining its artisanal identity and premium customer experience.
Cili Kampung, recognised for its mastery of authentic Malaysian hospitality and operational efficiency, plans to leverage its growth model to expand Dotty’s reach nationwide. Encik Khairul Anwar Dato’ Sri Abdul Azeez, Director of Cili Kampung, stated, “By merging operational expertise with Dotty’s artisanal excellence, we are creating a powerhouse that will redefine the Malaysian hospitality landscape.” Founder Nadia Nasimuddin emphasised that while Dotty’s will grow into a national brand, its artisanal charm and quality will remain intact, ensuring loyal customers continue to enjoy the authentic experience they love.
The strategic alliance brings together Dotty’s JAKIM Halal-certified kitchen and proprietary artisanal offerings with Cili Kampung’s operational prowess, supply chain efficiency, and aggressive expansion capabilities. The combined force aims to dominate the “Modern Malay” lifestyle market, appealing to traditional diners and the premium café-hopping demographic alike.
