Restoran Murni SS2
This SS2 mamak is an institution, putting a spin on nearly all established mamak favourites. Seemingly any word that can be attached to ‘roti’ is – roti Hawaii, roti seafood, roti scramble. (Aforementioned roti Hawaii contains minced ... -
Living Food

R.A.W. (Real and Wholesome)
R.A.W. epitomises the mantra of how good things come in small packages; it’s a tiny spot but their coffee and food packs quite a punch. They’re best known for the former of course (pure, unadulterated and very tasty), but R.A.W.’s exc... -
