espressoLAB
Seriously good coffee. espressoLAB source, roast and blend their own beans; of course, they do serve single origin coffee as well. Their latte is the best we have tasted in the city – it all comes down to the smooth microfoam that is just perfect... -
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 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... -

A place known not just for its coffee but its delicious accompanying snacks too – most notably the freshly baked pretzels – Chilla Cup freshly roasts the beans upon order, with their beans imported from Asia, Africa and South America. The p... -

Nong & Jimmy Thai Seafood BBQ
August 2012 It’s the sound of crushing pinchers under the mallet that makes the ambience of this neighbourhood eatery by the roadside. Everyone is cracking a shell open – snapping, twisting and sucking out the best bits of Nong & Jimmy&rsq... -
Restoran Hor Poh Cuisine
July 2012 Firstly, a caveat. If you haven’t tried lui char before, you ought to know that it’s an acquired taste and you’ll either love or hate it. Secondly, the Hor Poh outlet of which I write is tucked away in deepest Segambut and ... -
Anggerik Kuring
August 2012 I’m perpetually in search of good sop buntut. Whenever I visit a new Indonesian restaurant in town, I always look for the dish that contains chunks of beef tails served in a vegetable and beef broth. My quest has yielded a fair share... -
espressoLAB The Gardens
Seriously good coffee. espressoLAB source, roast and blend their own beans; of course, they do serve single origin coffee as well. Their latte is the best we have tasted in the city – it all comes down to the smooth microfoam that is just perf... -
Choong Kee Kampar Claypot Rice
September 2012 It’s always a good sign when a hawker stall expands into its own shop, because it means demand for the food has exceeded the existing space. In the case of Damansara Jaya’s Choong Kee Kampar Claypot, this is exactly what hap... -
Ti Chen
Located on the picturesque property of the Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Ti Chen has been serving its blend of Chinese cuisine for 25 odd years. The dimly lit interior aids to draw the eye to the scenic golf course grounds outside. The restaurant serves... -
PRIME
July 2008 The first thing that grabs you about Prime is its elegant modern décor, oversized tables and its wide open kitchen with an uninterrupted view of chefs hard at work. Attention to detail is a key element at ‘Prime’ evident b... -
Gills
I often like to scope out ‘new’ restaurants before visiting usually by reading reviews or blogs. It was one of the latter that informed me that Gills was a great North Indian restaurant with one of the best butter chickens in Malaysia. No l... -
Sri Nirwana Maju Bangsar
It’s not uncommon to find a queue of post-clubbers at the restaurant’s Bangsar outlet on Friday nights while plastic chairs spill onto the bank corridor next door. The secret to Sri Nirwana’s overwhelming popularity lies in a threeway...
