Reasons to visit: Chic and comfortable setting; great cocktails, with special mentions for Mr Ahmad and Mrs Lim; amazing hoppers to go with very reasonably priced cocktails, what with their weekend bottomless brunch menu; wine, champagne, whiskey and other drinking options are available upstairs as well, including local artisan wine.
At first we thought that the appams will not be able to fill our stomach and had even planned to go somewhere else for lunch. But after having our meal here, we decided to go straight home. Don’t underestimate these appams. They can fill you up to last the whole day.
Reasons to visit: the Gula Melaka and Desiccated Coconut Poached in Coconut Milk and the Slow Roasted Chicken Rendang, Sambal, Crispy Anchovies, Ground Nuts, and Cucumber are particularly notable, but everything on the menu is generally excellent. Being made from rice, Hoppers are gluten free (except the cauliflower because of its coating), so those on a gluten-free diet will find the menu especially refreshing.
It’s about time everyone’s favorite appam gets an upgrade. At Hoppers Kuala Lumpur, these traditional pancakes are garnished with various local ingredients for an elevated experience. Now I did have my share of skepticism before coming here. I thought it’d be a pretentious affair and Hoppers’ appams are only out to attract Instagrammers. Well, I am glad I was wrong.
