Some of my closest friends decided to play tourists in KL Chinatown during the recent holidays and well… as to be expected or is it a surprise, almost all of them (we are all staying in Klang Valley – KL and Selangor) confessed to not being here in ages…
Chinatown’s Petaling Street is one of KL’s popular tourist destinations. This is the place for you to shop for anything from t-shirts, souvenirs, shoes, bags and perfumes. There are a great selection of Chinese food to eat here at Chinatown. So, be sure to visit Petaling Street with an empty stomach.
Reasons to visit ChoCha Foodstore: Awesome interior; unique Christmas menu; genuine interest and care in the provenance of ingredients; cleverly interpreted modern twists to traditional flavours
Reasons to visit ChoCha Foodstore: chic surrounds; quality, local ingredients; zero-waste concept; creative flavour profiles.
总的来说, 他们家的料理都是偏重口味的, 喜欢重口味的朋友应该会觉得他们家的料理不错吃, 但喜欢较淡口味的朋友可能就会觉得有点腻~
Verdict: The beef noodles has been built up a stellar reputation for years and and it is indeed famous for a reason – they know their food well and prove themselves noteworthy.
Unexpectedly, the roasted meat we ordered taste quite good, in particularly the char siew as the meat is juicy with the right level of sweetness.
Nevertheless, there are 2 must eat here; its either the Beef Noodle or the Lala Noodle; so, next visit to KL will be the Lala Noodle.
Overall, I had a pleasant staycation and their hospitality are warm, plus food is good too. For those who are planning for a staycation in the city and wish to explore KL city tourist spots, I would recommend this hotel.
个人喜欢Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown提供软和硬的枕头任君选择， 超贴心。
Reasons to stay at Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown: located in what we think is currently the hippest suburb in KL; great food and beverage options that won’t burn a hole in your pocket; appreciate the affordability and spaciousness of a suite; international standards with a boutique design feel.
The family business has been around since 1945 and currently run by second generation owner. They used to have a stall and moved to coffeeshop years later. The kitchen is located at the back of the shop where there is a side door entrance for customers to walk in from other side of the alley.
We are not huge fan of the beef noodles but many people enjoy their beef noodles. However, we enjoyed the Hainanese chicken rice and also the curry noodles. If you plan to go to Restoran Soong Kee Beef Noodle Jalan Tun H S Lee, go before lunch time.
Today we head out to check out the famous Soong Kee Beef Noodles which has been serving one of the best beef noodles in Kuala Lumpur since 1945. Their speciality is the combination of egg noodles with beef slices, tripe and minced beef; topped with delicious fermented soybean paste. There's also the option of soup or dry beef noodles.
There are many question marks after our visit to Restoran Kim Lian Kee Hokkien Mee Petaling Street. My parents were disappointed with the quality and taste of the noodles as they have been here many times. We all know they will be a century old and we sincerely hope that they can maintain their quality of the food and service. We don’t mind paying more due to their touristy location but at least the food is up to their brand name.
The best item that we ordered (the bro agrees) was the fried chicken wings. They came in a set of three pieces, freshly fried and still piping hot. The chicken was marinated well and had great flavour, the insides were juicy, and the skin was crispy.
A hearty meal that is a staple for most local Chinese families, the Hokkien mee RM9.50 is presented on a banana leaf-lined plate and is ultra-popular largely because of oodles of prawns, pork, squid and generous helpings of lard fritters. The mee is thoroughly enjoyable on its own but for locals, the canister of sambal belacan on each table is one of Restoran Kim Lian Kee’s primary attractions (our personal favourite as well)! 😉
HO KOW HAINAM KOPITIAM since 1956
Overall, it is good food at Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam Jalan Balai. Is it worth the long queue? Well, if you enjoy local food, great kaya butter toast and a cuppa of Cham, it is worth the queue. Don’t expect extra ordinary food but comfort food at Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam Jalan Balai.
Curry Chee Cheong Fun is a bit of Ipoh style. Love the smooth, simple Chee Cheong Fun, served in a bed of rich, mildly spicy curry sauce, flavoured up with aroma of minced dried shrimp.

Unless you’re planning to get a drink or some food, you probably won’t spend much time at Ghost Lane, but it’s free, it’s fairly central, and it has a few nice things to look at. I will probably nip back every now and then to see the new art.
Overall was not bad except for the service. Do not expect top notch service here.
Verdict: A solid bowl of beef noodles, and I can see why people have been flocking to the place for decades. It’s hearty, it’s comforting, and it’s substantial. Most impressive were the beef balls, which were so springy you can practically use them as ping pong balls – not a trace of tendon or whatnot left. The noodles were al dente and slathered in the savoury meat sauce.
We ordered Beef Mix Noodles (牛杂肉丸) RM10.00 that serves with a bowl of rice noodles (grounded beef as toppings) and a bowl of soup with assorted beef parts in it. The beef was tender and juicy, soup or broth was clear yet very rich in taste, overall taste like having a bowl of Bakso (Indonesian Beef Noodles) instead of the Pho Bo (Vietnamese Beef Noodles) that dashes some extra leaves and limes as flavouring.
Overall, I liked this establishment alot. It has a quirky and interesting vibe to it. The food is funny, in a good way, and for the prices that you pay, its some real bang for your buck.
On a personal Burnt Cheese Cake (RM 16) is dessert that we found it to be special. We were told it was a housemade, and the definition burnt introduced a slight pleasant caramelized taste into the rich and dense cheese cake. A piece of wonder to enjoy. It is noted half of the cake was grabbed by customers when it is being put on selling tray.
Order South China Sea as it seems crowds favorite @ RM 36. Serve with 63 degree poached egg, housemade hash and salsa. Quite a huge chunk of salmon that is serve, looks great in the picture. It is under season, quite pale in flavour and overcook too. Mix of salsa is a bit confusing, filled with apple, capsicum and the fried hash that looks like being fried in a long serving oil that gives such colour and quite at the base plate. I try to finish my salmon, and I guess I gave up along the way. Turns out to be quite disappointing.
Overall, it was truly a delightful experience feasting and feeling like walking down memory lane with old skool favorites and yummy comfort food…. Check out Fuiyoh buffet now serving every Wednesday to Friday, from 12:00pm – 2:30pm, at only 68 nett per adult…
Since it is highly customizable, so I choose Pan Seared Salmon as my main dish and opt for Kon Loh noodles with 2 desserts, the Carrot Cake with Toffee Sauce and Egg Tart. Well, you can really taste the freshness of the salmon fish, it can feel the juiciness of its in every bite and most importantly, I don't find any bones in it. Good to go for me!
Priced at RM33 nett, Nourish by Quan’s Kitchen is available at Quan’s Kitchen, Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown daily from 12pm – 9.30pm

Luckin Kopi Cafe -the newest modern kopitian behind Kwai Chain Hong ( near Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur ). Introduces a menu specializes in Local Street food that familiar with, plus unique delicacies fused with chef’s very own creativity.
Weekday lunch set at MYR 14.80 nett with free unlimited refill Luckin Kopi Kaw. I chose Indo Mee Goreng and Ayam Berempah (Deep fried Chicken marinated with spices). This is a satisfying "carby" lunch.
Saw this ” Bak Kut Teh Siu Mai” so we thought it was interesting and ordered one. Ended up it looked nothing like “Siew Mai”, but more like tau fu pok stuffed with fish paste filling, then immersed in bak kut teh soup. Don’t bother to order this.
With over 110 years of history in making egg tarts, this is one place we don’t mind visiting for their egg tarts.
I am in love with their creamy custard egg tart and other flaky pastries. Not just that, their tarts are really brings you with the melts in the mouth sensation.
Spaghetti Teriyaki Beef set lunch which includes a cup of hot tea - MYR 20+ (10% service charge = MYR 22 nett). Close up - can see the thin slices of beef, mushrooms, seaweed, bonito flakes and parsley. Luckily the teriyaki sauce is not very sweet and the pasta is not swimming in sauce. I kept half the portion for dinner as usual.
Crispy Chicken with Creme Sauce, 21 ringgit. This was similar to the creamy pesto sauce dish we’ve had previously. I remember liking that one and was looking for something similar, so I decided to give this dish a go. Pasta and sandwiches were not of interest to me today, so yea. This was delicious. The crispy boneless chicken bits and the creamy sauce complimented each other well. The chicken on its own, would have been pretty dry, however, add on the creamy sauce and you would get a burst of flavors and textures. The creme sauce itself came with spices and a lil milky sweetness, it had an overall tasty flavor to it. It resembled thick butter chicken sauce but totally different in flavor. Overall, a delicious dish. Loved it.
The coffee here is out of my taste bud. Not my coffee profile that I like. Latte is more on bitter profile.
I went with the Salted Caramel Almond Chocolate. It was nice – not too sweet, milky and gooey. There was lumps of dense chocolate and nuts which provided a difference in texture. I liked it.
来这里品尝冰淇淋还说得过去, 但不建议来这里品尝他们的冰沙啦~
实话实说, 这里的确很适合来打卡拍照, 但是他们家的冰沙还真的让我们很失望

Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur Chinatown is hosting the “Scotnatown” this November at Jann, the modern cocktail bar. The celebration of this Scottish culture consists of a myriad of exciting events to honor its rich culture. In line with that, the bar that boasts panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline has also invited The Gordon School of Dance with Piper Norman Fiddes to showcase the country’s music and dance here at Chinatown.
Inspired from Jalan Hang Lekir’s Oloiya, the local meat jerky artisan who made his start selling orange juice. In this cocktail, the orange liqueur from the Grand Marnier resembles the original juice business while that piece of bah kwa take after the current meat jerky business. The aroma of the cocktail complemented well with the smokiness burnt bah kwa.
Reasons to embark on A Journey of Six Senses with Jann’s bottled cocktails: excellent value for money; do-it-yourself drinks; fun variety and an adventure to explore all corners of your palate.
What we liked about Niko Neko -The matcha bun -The aesthetically white interior setting
This delicate Matcha roulade combines several textures in one with a soft, thin layer of crunchy Yuri Matcha meringue on the outside, that perfectly contrasts the light and airy half-matcha, half-whipped cream filling. It would be my perfect Zenful matcha moment had the dessert is less sweet.
