If Sassorosso isn’t the best Italian restaurant in KL, it isn’t far off. Tucked away a bit, the steady stream of lunchtime and evening diners would testify that the food on offer ranks as some of the best anywhere in the city. The a la carte menu is simple, with more than enough choices to [...]

The Canteen Room
In terms of value for money you can’t ask for more than you receive at this café-cum-restaurant. The portions are generous, the service is great and the price remains low. No wonder The Canteen Room is always packed. There may be better eateries with more glamourous dishes around the town but I struggle to think [...]

Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant
Yes, Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant is still there. It’s just hidden from plain sight behind the car showroom. The restaurant has recently been given a face lift. One corner of the restaurant has been turned into a water garden, where you dine on glass counters with water flowing through them. It’s quite a soothing feature. [...]

Wasabi
The Wasabi Bistro has never had the most elegant of entrances. On exiting the elevator one often thinks one has stumbled wrongly into the Mandarin car park but beckoning staff are more often than not there to put you right. The decor is a sombre and uninspired affair made no better by no natural light. [...]

Prime
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 by the house made bread and butter selection served to you the moment you plonk yourself [...]

Angus Steak House
We happened to find Angus by chance, after grocery shopping and window shopping and shopping shopping. I usually think of Japanese restaurants as a ‘Bento Box’ like set-up, with small cubicles, loud, fast service and tempura, or sushi, well, seafood mostly. But they did invent wagyu, right? The entrance is simple. There is a modest [...]

Kampachi
There really aren’t that many great (although plenty of decent/good) Japanese restaurants in KL, however, in the semi-recently opened ‘Kampachi’ in Pavilion KL can honestly claim to rival the likes of ‘Zipangu’ and ‘Iketeru.’ The restaurant shares a name, brand, menu and owners with the outlet in the Equatorial KL, however, to my taste buds, [...]

Hard Rock Cafe Restaurant
My initial reaction was ‘Woah! How much? For a burger?’ but of course there’s more to Hard Rock than your average grill. First credit comes for the portion sizes. Whether it was the tortilla chip nacho or the potato skins crammed with cheese and bacon starters or the strip steak or 10oz signature burger, our [...]

Baan 26
With plants and wrought iron furniture at the front veranda, ‘Baan 26’ looks good from the outside. The interior however doesn’t seem too appealing. Yes, it does look humble, like a typical Thai home, and truth is, I have seen neighbourhood restaurants like this in Bangkok and even Chiang Mai. So I guess there’s some [...]

The Pink Sage Diner and Pantry
My initial thought that the restaurant was going to be one of those over the top places with posh décor only to be let down with rubbish food. But I was in for a pleasant surprise. By the corner of Jalan Dang Wangi, first timers may have a little difficulty finding the restaurant as it’s [...]
