Reasons to visit The Good Co APW: Superfood experiences in-house at trendy APW, also conveniently available for takeaway and home delivery; a 100% vegetarian menu with loads of vegan options too.
During our last visit there I ordered a cup of Healthy Organic Nasi Lemak at MYR 15.90 nett. Can you see the layers? From the bottom to top - millet (acting as rice), roasted peanuts, tempeh, cherry tomatoes, slices of cucumber (kyuri), hard boiled egg, assorted salad leaves and a small container of healthy sambal that tastes like sweetish peanut sauce (those satay dips).
Suddenly I thought that I would try their yogurt so I ordered this Soul Jar at MYR 14.90 nett. Oats can be seen from the top. Luckily the yogurt is sourish so it is appetising and I managed to finish the whole jar without feeling satiated.
Premium Chai Latte (RM14) This almond milk chai latte has got to be THE BEST CHAI LATTE in KL, and that's a bold claim. Unlike the usual almond milk you get in the market, their almond milk is thick and creamy and doesn't get separated or sedimented if left for a while. They retain their thick and creamy texture throughout the serving and I was really impressed. As for the chai, there was no other way to describe it other than being utterly flavourful. And it is not for no reasons as they were incredibly generous with their spices, and the perfect blend of different spices created an impeccable aroma that puts all other chai lattes to shame! If there's one thing you must try from this cafe, make it this one!
The Bangkok Salad (RM22) was also big in flavour and texture. The salad is made up of romaine lettuce, grilled cherry tomatoes, steamed broccoli, carrots, roasted pumpkin and fried shallots, topped with tender, moist sous vide chicken and a Thai coconut red curry on the side. The curry dressing was extremely moreish, making this one tasty salad!
Reasons to visit: Healthy and delicious brunch and cafe foods with plenty of variety for every one of your friends. Don’t miss the Melbourne-style lattes, which include turmeric and black sesame, and the housemade prana chai.
Overall, a truly satisfying dish. I loved it.
Reasons to visit The Lankan Crabs: beautiful mud crabs – Mon says you must order the Negombo; easy to reach via the LRT; value-for-money with generous portions; Sri Lankan beer is a bonus; Rich recommends the brown sugar appam, and I suggest you don’t go past the Paal Poriyal.
Overall, the restaurant offers a really nice environment and cozy ambience for gathering.
Food was good in general but they were priced on the higher side. I liked the Garlic Prawn and Potato Croquette; and the pasta. The cempedak cheese cake was quite interesting too. However, the service was not very attentive during our visit back then, given the price we paid for. Do hope that they have improved on this.
The restaurant combines a contemporary take on its food offerings with stunning aesthetics. However, the downside was = under the par service, considering the price we paid for, at such higher end restaurant The staffs weren’t very attentive but thanks to their food and ambiance, it was generally forgiven.
We both ordered the beef pho as that is what they are famous for. Since we are definitely going to chat for long, due to the long delayed meet up, I ordered the iced coffee. The price of the food and drink came up to RM30.
Pho is my ultimate favourite Vietnamese dish, and the version at Super Saigon is so good with its clear, flavorful broth. I went for the Medium Rare Sliced Beef & Tendon Pho (RM18.90), with an add-on of firm, juicy beef balls (RM4). I like how the beef is now served rare, so it cooks ever so slightly when you dunk it in the soup for the perfect doneness. It's wonderful that they offer unlimited beansprouts and Thai basil to go with your pho too.What a satisfying bowl of noodles!
Prices here are not to be sniffed at, but then this is not some gerai by the roadside either as there is so much more heart and passion poured into each dish, not to mention the high quality ingredients used. Adu Sugar is the kind of place where it’s a full-on experience – it’s not just about having a meal – you absorb the ambience, drink in the layers of flavour and enjoy each morsel leisurely.
Reasons to visit ADU Sugar Restaurant: a setting that is full of character; superbly fresh recipes; tasty and balanced meals; excellent vegan options.
Reasons to visit KL Scenarium at The Enclave Bangsar: excellent pricing; innovative use of ingredients and fun, funky cocktails; Mon’s fave was the Negrosia, and Kitty was very fond of the Hot Lit Saloma.
We love pub food and we love it even more if it’s in our neighborhood. It means we can grab a bite whenever we want since it’s so near our home. Well if your neighborhood happens to be in the Bangsar area, then you just might want to hop over to The Enclave, a local gastropub serving affordable Western and Asian menu.
Reasons to visit: the variety and creativity of all the dishes and the option to try everything in one sitting through the degustation menu. Keep an eye out for the Sunday brunch – definitely something to return for.
It was very well expected that many other variations would naturally pop up after the big success of the McDonald’s regional menu in Singapore. Nasi Lemak Burger has know reached us and in conjunction with the upcoming national day and Malaysia day, local cafes and eateries are all coming up with their own renditions off the Nasi Lemak Burger.
Agak agak in APW caters to the trendier and more adventurous tastes but while they innovate and pushes the boundaries for a fusion excitement, this hipster space at this hippie enclave is offering its take on Asian comfort food, enriched by the embrace of western trend.
Reasons to visit: Stop by to satisfy your sweet tooth with the Kacang Tumbuk Bundt Cake or another one of the many original and satisfying desserts available. Try the Duck Hoisin for a delicious Asian inspired sandwich, and come to support the development of youth and lift the profile of food and beverage as a career in Malaysia.
While the price may be above average, the friendly character and heartfelt food make it an interesting spot for a chill evening for family and friends.
Nice mixture of tasty Western and Middle Eastern cuisine. The chef offer us a free dessert at the end.
Reasons to visit Zoe Bangsar: a charming gem just off the main strip of Bangsar; a pleasant balcony area with hanging flower pots and ceiling fans or a spot on a stool at the kitchen counter are my preferred seats; the lunch set is a reasonably-priced way to get a taste of the kitchen; my favourite dishes were the fish ceviche, muhammara, lamb ragu pappardelle and those oh-so-luscious chocolate truffles.
For a small box, it sure can contain a lot of noodles. I was surprised. Tastewise, the noodles were yummy. Sure, I was a little disappointment when I was told the Kam Heong sauce was sold out but the Mango Sweet Chili sauce was an awesome choice. I thought it would be all sweet but there was some spiciness in there too. I loved it. The dish overall was tasty. I’d order it again. Definitely.
Reasons to visit Kedai Nombor 7: Escape through the vintage refrigerator door to find a well-made cocktail and some homestyle food.
