Living Food
June 2012 Here’s the thing: had I visited Living Food without having had the prior benefit of two weeks on a raw food diet, I may well have scoffed at the premise of eating uncooked food. But having actually tried, and enjoyed raw food without &... -

Kinnaree Thai Restaurant
October 2008 Kinnaree Thai restaurant won’t win awards for originality. Décor plays upon well-trod Thai tropes (gold wall stencils; bhodhi tree images; dark timber and silks in eye-catching colors, heavy silver cutlery and lovely ceramic ... -
Saravana Bhavan
Febaruary 2009 We tend to take Saravana Bavan for granted. It’s a Chennai-based chain after all (35 branches in India, a gzillion worldwide), and you know what they say about franchise food. No doubt about it, SB is a formula: the branches look ... -
DISH
New addition to the DISH team, Chef Steve Allen (who was head chef for Gordon Ramsey at Claridges, London) has shaken things up a little. Their new menu now boasts 34 new additions, among them the sublime seared and marinated tuna, pickled radish and c... -
thai-la
July 2012 It’s a simple set up, at CapSquare, and so it’s primarily a lunch joint for the surrounding office crowd. And it’s doing good in that respect. We arrived at 12.30pm on a Wednesday and by 1pm, it’s running on full capa... -
Bistro à Table
October 2011 The long-anticipated restaurant opening by KL’s culinary wünderkind and much-lauded ‘take-home’ chef Isadora Chai marks a historic moment in Malaysia’s gastronomic landscape. In one fell swoop, her Bistro &a... -
Tedboy Bakery
Tedboy Bakery is a charming little spot where baskets of rustic loaves line the glass doors at the entrance. The apricot and cranberry loaf is most popular – a soft loaf studded with sweet fruit. Danish pastries, mini chocolate croissants and che... -
La Vie En Rose
July 2012 It takes a lot of guts and conviction to convert a house that has been abandoned for 15 years – not least because it has an immensely inconvenient entrance that necessitates a torturous U-turn and a vertiginous uphill climb to access &... -
Gao Ren Guan Jaya One
August 2012 Gao Ren Guan reminded me of two very important things that we tend to forget. We become so complacent with the flavour palette with which we have become familiar that new tastes sometimes have a hard time winning over our affections, and... -
Green View
Located near the old Rothman’s roundabout in PJ, Green View may not have very classy or expensive décor, but after all it’s the food that matters most. Mostly frequented by families, Green View is especially noted for its Sang Har Me... -

Journal by Plan B
From simple sandwiches and salads to pastas and cakes, all the food here share the distinction of being conveniently familiar. Lashings of caramelised onions, a perky side salad and perfectly fried sweet potato and yam crisps turn a simple duck confi... -
Fierce Curry House
May 2012 Trips to mamaks and Indian curry houses in KL are often no-brainer affairs; you rock up in a pair of flip flops and craggy shorts, order a greasy plate of food, request a third glass of over-sweetened tea and bam, happy days. A visit to Fie... -
Duck n’ Such
Duck n' Such is a restaurant revolving well, duck. Their signature dish is the traditional Chinese Peking duck slices wrapped in roti jala. For a more international flavour, the restaurant serves dishes like BBQ duck thighs and duck risotto. If yo... -
