This is one of my longest reviews for a very long time, but it reflects how much I liked the food and drink, and how keen I am to go back. Mr Chew’s is perhaps the higher end place I’m most willing to spend quite a lot of money at, because I don’t want to wait to save it for a special occasion. Seriously, go here and enjoy yourself.
Reasons to visit Troika Sky Dining Mr Chew’s Chino Latino Bar’s new home: convenient location next to some of KL’s hottest bar and restaurant concepts; must order the nori taco, tiger prawn dumplings, fried Japanese rice and go wild with the cocktail menu.
Reasons to La Boca Latino Bar in Pavilion: 3 – 6 pm happy hours selling the Venezuelan passionfruit rum punch, Guarapita, 1 for 1; vibrant, lively setting; love the plant-based starters of Elote and Camote; meat-lovers should not miss the barbecue platter; great lunch deals and two-for-one Illy coffee Monday to Friday before 6 pm.
With a name like Churrascaria, one would expect the restaurant to churn out heaps of mouth-watering barbecued meats. Qba Bar & Grill, one of the restaurants housed within The Westin Kuala Lumpur, one of the most exclusive hotels in the heart of Kuala Lumpur; offers all you can eat Brazilian-inspired churrascaria-style buffet. The award-winning restaurant earns its reputation for serving some of the best grills in town, head there with a big appetite and expect a constant carving of not only meat but a generous offer of Seafood as well. The dining area behind the drinking place (of Qba) has a rustic, vibrant and easy-going atmosphere; making it a fun place to hangout (alcohols can be ordered at additional costs). There are basic buffet counters right in front of the kitchen bar (with rotisserie in live action) that offer starters while mains are served to your table. With the help of a red and green stand, diners can decide whether they can still go on or put the indulgence to a halt. Dessert on the other hand, shall be served (though repeat orders is allowed, there will be only one type of dessert at all times). For the best value deal, check with the staff on the credit card discounts available.

The Patacones Con Ratatouille (RM15.00/6 pieces) was a traditional dish in Latin America, made out of fried plantain, topped with shredded beef on one, and chopped vegetables on the other. These were moreish - to my very delight, also one of my favorites of the evening.
