Yut Kee Restaurant located in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur, is a Hainanese Kopitiam that has been operating since 1928. If you're looking for a local Malaysian breakfast or brunch spot, definitely come and try out Yut Kee Restaurant. It's classic marble table and wooden chairs decor brings us back time as it gives the old school kopitiam vibe.
Roti Babi, 11 ringgit There were several dishes that were popular here and one of them is the Roti Babi. Just by looking around, you’d be able to see this dish on almost every other table. Sure, it is loaded with calories but it was da bomb. The top and bottom of this dish is made up of french toast and on the inside, there is a generous portion of flavorful pork minced meat + caramelized onions. Yummy!
Overall, albeit some dishes in Yut Kee are not that good as expected but undoubtedly there are still some delectable dishes serving here, and I'm still looking forward to paying a visit again for their Roasted Pork Roll in the future.
Our top pick goes to the moist, braised-till-tender beef brisket stuffed within fluffy steamed pao. Generous cut of meat too! Summerkid personally enjoyed the Kim.Chi.Chicken. Mildly spicy, with sharp flavours of kimchi cut through in between crunchy, juicy bites of fried chicken chunks.
BAO. TEA. FUL SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS 3PM – 6PM RM88 (ONE-FOR-ONE) / for 2 pax! Unlimited refills!
Happening every Sunday at Brasserie 25! Sizzling Sundays RM100 nett (one-for-one) : for 2 pax!
Purple and white corn from Janda Baik are the stars of this dish. Sweet and crunchy, the corn kernels are tossed with Spanish air dried beef shards, charred local vine tomatoes, a hint of sambal aioli and garnished with Asam pedas salt for a burst of flavours.
In sum, Tapestry scores all the right points for lovely ambiance, thoughtfully melded West-meet-East menu, and brunch food that is actually enjoyable. We all enjoy a good surprise, and Tapestry is definitely one in our books – it is probably one of the best brunch places KL has to offer at the moment for something cozy and inventive at the same time.
Reasons to visit Tapestry Dining Chow Kit: local produce, modern flavours on the grill; stylish setting; there was not a dish we tried tonight that we didn’t like – if forced to narrow an order though – don’t miss the Zucchini Barramundi Otak-Otak and Sarawakian Native Job’s Tears “Risotto.”
Reasons to embark on the Caribbean Food Cruise at Joloko: a chance to “travel” at least by setting sail on your tastebuds; fun, fun, fun team and setting; a culinary adventure; excellent cocktails and wine list.
I hadn’t been to a Caribbean restaurant for more than two years, and we definitely want to come back here. It is expensive, but the atmosphere and the food were really worth it. Highly recommended.
The sandwiches were delicious. You can choose your spice level – mild, normal or spicy. I opted for spicy. Part of it was the heat and the other part was pure spices, a burst of flavors. The sandwich filling was generous. The grilled pork was tender and juicy. Biting into it was divine. There was spinach, purple cabbage, purple radish, onions …. it was yummy!
Pan Mee, 9.50 ringgit It was yummy! The noodles here are made in house, it was chewy and had a more springy consistency. The dish came with the usual items – thick noodles, egg, anchovies, mince meat with a side of vegetable. Once you give it a nice mix, it becomes thick and gooey. Some folks like it that way but if it is still a lil too dry for you, just add in a spoonful of that soup and you’re set. Delicious it certainly was. Yum!
As for Kin Kin Chili Pan Mee, I find that the chili is less spicy, slightly more on the fragrant side, and with salty end. Noodle texture is about right, as they have its unique mouth bite texture which is like half chewy half soft.
Priced at RM8, Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee is served with wheat noodles, spring onions, fried ikan bilis and garlic, and a soft boiled egg, accompanied with a small bowl of sayur manis soup. To complete the whole dish, scoop out some chilli in the plastic container on the table and mix it with your pan mee.
If you fancy something non alcoholic, sweet, creamy and flavorful, then this could be the one for you. Monkey Business is all about Banana Bread, Pecan and Dates. I dont know how they do it but you’d be able to taste all the flavors in it. Very nice, I liked it.
Licky Chan is the newest and hippest ice-cream parlour in KL! They offer unique flavours - some boozy, some vegan.
First – a scoop of Monkey Business in a cone (RM9.80). It’s non-boozy, very creamy with bits of banana bread, pecan and dates. If you love bananas, you’ll love the richness of this – but it did get a little too rich for us after awhile.
If you want to try something unique and experience Nyonya and Baba culture, Limapulo: Baba Can Cook is the place to be. While the food might not be mind-blowing, the chance to savor these traditional dishes is worth it.
Cucur Udang (RM9.90 from the lunch menu) A balanced mix of shrimp and paste made for the perfect tenderness and crunchiness in any bite. Sweet and spicy homemade chilli sauce added an extra oomph to the delicious bite-sized awesomeness. Unconventional looking satays that actually taste good. What I adore about the dish was not the way it looks whatsoever, but rather the quality of the meat they used in each stick! Instead of throwing in fats every now and then to make up a stick of satay, they used only the flesh, all of which was nicely marinated, and then grilled to golden perfection.
Reasons to visit: over 50 craft beers; charming setting; Sunday roast; excellent meals with a home-cooked feel.
The Sunday roast at Gavel is RM60 per head and the meat alternates between roast beef and a roast lamb leg. It was the roast lamb leg when we visited and I dare say it's the best roast lamb I've ever had. The meat was tender, flavorful (very herby and garlicky but that's fine), moist and very well done.
Banana Pancakes mixed Berries, 16 ringgit. Looks fancy, ey? This has to be a first for me, being served pancakes on a solid wooden platter. I like it 🙂 So, the dish comes with a mini bowl with mixed berries + 2 fluffy pancakes filled with bananas + a real generous portion of good honey. In most cases, I usual have to request for a refill of honey , especially when they use a good one. Considering the price, I understand why they stinge on it but still, as a customer, you need to demand your share, especially when it comes to pancakes. Here though, they literally present you with a lot of honey, so much more than usual that it is highly likely you would request for more. I was literally jumping with glee. The pancakes as a whole was delicious. The pancakes although is thicker than the usual ones – it is not less fluffy , with a sense of lightness to it. Having it on its own with the banana was good enough. Add it good honey and the sourness from the berries – one yummy pancake. Loved it.
就像任何cendol摊位一样,Durian Runtuh也是自助服务。你排队,下订单,并在柜台付款。
" the best and the best encounters 💕-cendol durian runtuh
Verdict Durian Runtuh is certainly the place to go to if you are looking to try durian cendol for the first time. The portion size was certainly generous as the cendol was pretty big and there were 6 durian fruits, not bad for RM13.
It is definitely good, ‘sedap’ but it is not the best there is out there. The appeal here is the good food + affordable price point. Who can resist that combination, right?? It is ‘mamak’ food at its best. Food-wise, I was happy with everything except the Ayam Madu. I was expecting tender chicken with thick, sweetened honey syrup coating but here, it was done differently. Tender chicken it was but the ‘madu’ part was missing. In its place was some other gravy with onions. Besides that, food was yummy. The curry was thick and flavorful, the fried chicken was chewy yet tender. Bendi and cabbage were awesome additions in making both plates wholesome.
Their Sambal Fish was so delicious. It was truly one of the best that I have tasted. Been so long that I had food this good. Truly miss these places as it has been so long. The fish was slightly on the spicy side and came with some thick gravy. 10/10 is my rating for this. Similarly, their Fish Roe was another one that won my heart. Absolutely delicious stuff and I would rate it at 9/10.
My usual order are, cabbage, beef and chicken, it comes with a total of RM 12. Price is pretty decent. Of course you must have flood gravy in your rice to make it punch with flavour. Love the multiple burst of flavour in your mouth, from spicy, sour, herbs fragrant, sweet and it is indeed a good mix. Love it. One of the best nasi kandar in KL.
Taste-wise, Mohd Yaseen Penang Nasi Kandar was a disappointment and nothing memorable. Though unique, the Ayam Madu was coated with lots of cancerous red colouring and the curries were spicy without in dept flavours. That’s not to say the food is bad, it’s quite passable as a good Nasi Kandar spot in KL and certainly better than most generic restaurants, but its no where near to what’s served in Penang.
All in all, we enjoyed the dishes here at Osteria. However, we do advise ordering a variety of dishes – as the combination of our two pasta dishes was a bit rich for us by the end of the night.
Reasons to visit Osteria Gamberoni: elegant setting with floor-to-ceiling windows, shiny-black marble and a plant-lined semi-alfresco area; must order house-made fresh pasta; possibly the best value wine by the glass in the city.
♥Verdict: The Hakka Zha Yoke & wild boar curry Nasi Lemak definitely better than what I would have expected and I was largely contented with my meal here. Hubby and I already planned our next breakfast date at here again (Sam no longer wants to follow us, LOL)!
Conclusion: if you love steamed nasi lemak, pork curry and sambal cuttlefish, this is the place to be. A big plus point for me is that although their sambal is sweet and spicy, it leans toward the latter. As for the ‘zha yuk’ I think it’s worth checking out once but I will probably omit it in my future visits.
Only take away are available as we order their famous 5 spices braised pork belly and drench with sambal and egg. It is pretty amazing that bursting in flavours.
We returned to Restoran Nasi Kapau for one of the best Nasi Padang in Kuala Lumpur. One of the best Indonesian food in KL.
One dish here we’ve yet to find elsewhere is Ayam Pop (RM7) – chicken cooked in coconut water and spices before it is fried to golden brown. The meat is tender and flavourful. The accompanying sambal is mildly spicy and sweet, and cooked with a bit of petai for the slight pungent hit.
Restoran Nasi Kapau serves one of the best Nasi Padang in Kuala Lumpur. Our favourite dishes include Dendeng and Ayam Pop! Sedap!
The first time we had our lunch there, the noodles were not too soft but a little chewy as I like it. The mushrooms were tasty and lovely (A LOT of mushrooms). Fried onion sprinkled on top of the noodles added to the taste and to be honest, it was quite divine. However, the second time was not so satisfying. The noodles were a bit soggy and that spoilt the whole thing. The soup was not that good either. I believe that the stove fire was a little too much.
This humble little Pan Mee stall is hidden in one of the Lorong in Chow Kit, for more than 40+ years, 天涯客家面 Tian Yake Ban Mian has been selling Pan Mee since 1975!
Sizzling Sundays BBQ at Stripes Price: RM100 (One-for-One) Time: 12PM-3PM, every Sunday Highlights : Grilled meat & ribs, specially crafted Sangria (*add RM25/bottle)
This is the place my friends; the place to chill with your buddies, to chat, to sip on excellent whisky sours (look for bartender Henly), to try intriguing cocktails and to chow down on unique “bar snacks” in the form of savoury mantaos in a bar.
Reasons to visit: chilled rooftop bar; great event space.
Terbaik !
An offshoot of the OG shop in Taman Desa., Woo Pin 45 Kamunting offers delicious fish head noodles from a retro 1970s shoplot in KL.
Fried Fish Paste Noodles, 11.90 ringgit Food was good. I especially loved the broth. It was milky and the taste of fish paste was evident, prominent. The dose of Chinese wine was a good addition, it provided that extra ‘kick’, one that made slurping the broth an even more joy. They had 3 options for noodles and while I was intending to have my dish with YM – yellow mee, the waiter suggested that it would go better with MH – mee hoon. Since they do not offer an option of mixed noodles, I went along with their suggestion. The noodles sure were generously portioned. I was very hungry when I arrived and by the time I was done, I sure was stuffed. Burp
Our favorite among other dishes we sampled that evening. Braised yellow noodles immersed in thick, flavourful broth, topped with prawn, squid, fish cake, poached egg, fried bean curd, green vegetables.
From traditional Malaysian favourites to exciting fusion dishes, there is something to suit every diner’s palate. The menu takes on a mix of western and local flavours and is designed to pair well with Rooftop 25 Bar and Lounge’s beverage list.
Private dining for up to 20 people can also be arranged. For standing cocktail-style receptions, the rooftop bar and lounge can accommodate up to 150 people. It also has retractable roofing in the event of light rain showers. With its open-deck concept flanked by the hotel’s swimming pool, the airy space will showcase Kuala Lumpur as a tale of two cities – the radiant, bustling capital by day followed by the starry city of ambient lights by night.
Finally get to try out this legendary Fish & Chips, after seeing it for countless time on social media. in The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar’s very own version of East meets West fish & chips, putting together signature tandoori marinated fish, crispy kale, hand-cut chips and tartar sauce. Still crispy at the outside, moist within though we took quite a while to figure out the best angle to take a picture for this “fish”.
Reasons to try the Chef’s Specials at The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar: Traditional Malay fair; their special hous-made sauces; nice cocktail list; awesome sharing platters; lovely ambience.
Reasons to visit The Chow Kit Kitchen & Bar: great bar that supports the restaurant; excellent mix of local and international flavours founded on substance and fashioned on contemporary flair. Must try The Chow Kit cocktail, The Chow Kit Nachos, Grilled Chicken Breast and the Crème Caramel.
