This small local chain, which has a few establishments, has taken over the famous chicken rice recipe and added rice balls to it. The rather bland rice balls are served in a clear broth and absorb the fat from the chicken, duck or pork with which they are served. The experience will suit those who do not like to eat spicy food.

The Mulu National Park café is undoubtedly the best option for eating. Located behind the reception desk, the large, very airy room overlooks the river. A dynamic team prepares Malay dishes as well as Western specialities in order to satisfy all types of customers. It is the ideal place to meet people, discuss hikes to do or already done, canyoning or the Pinnacles expedition if you are still having a good time. Continuously open, you can also take a break during the day to quench your thirst with a lemonade.

The name seems misleading, since it's not a café, but a food court. Open only in the evening, you take your place under the large shed with its corrugated iron roof. Once you've got your table number in your pocket, you can browse the bevy of food stalls frying, stir-frying and baking before your very eyes.

You can take them away with you, or simply enjoy them seated around an open-air table - provided you can find a seat, which is not easy.

The real institution on Jalan Alor is this one, affectionately nicknamed WAW by the locals. The house specialty is chicken wings marinated in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. And the wow effect is there. The chicken wings are juicy and moist, cooked to perfection. Despite the large number of tables set up on the street, you're likely to find yourself queuing if you get your baguette in at peak time (between 7.30pm and 10pm). But it's well worth the wait.

For a change of pace, here's a charming local address specializing in Thai cuisine, considered one of the best in the city. With its cheerful blue walls, the decor is both charming and unpretentious, creating a popular and pleasant atmosphere. Mango sticky rice, Tom Yam noodles and Pad Kra Pao with beef are must-tries. This address offers a fast, clean, inexpensive and delicious experience, ideal for a gourmet stopover in the Chow Kit district.

For meat lovers, this is one of the best steakhouses in town. The menu is very varied, and we're delighted to find the famous Japanese Wagyu beef, with its unparalleled tenderness. Although it's primarily for the meat that we come, the meatless options are diverse and equally delicious: salmon, salads, soups, lasagne and vegetables are all available. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere both chic and relaxed. To accompany all this, the wine list is very comprehensive. Advance reservations are recommended.

Opened in 1928, this restaurant specializing in Hainanese cuisine is one of the neighborhood's oldest institutions, and continues to grow in popularity.

Roasts and pork chops are the house specials, not to be missed. To round off your meal in style, we recommend the steamed kaya bread accompanied by a kopi.

Leo, the owner, is everywhere at once, watching over everything and twirling like a dancer. A certain style that pleases the locals.

Located in the Four Seasons Hotel, Yun House is a Cantonese restaurant that will delight the most discerning taste buds, as well as those who enjoy a hushed ambience. We go there above all for the delicacy of their exceptionally tender dim sum. Don't miss the lobster dim sum, a delicate fusion served in a bewitching soup. Set in a dining area with a breathtaking panoramic view, this establishment brilliantly combines culinary excellence, efficient service and elegance, which explains its inclusion in the Michelin guide!

Whether you're looking for a gourmet break during your visit to the ornithological park or simply looking for a peaceful place to relax, this restaurant nestled in the heart of the botanical gardens offers an oasis of freshness.

Free parking is also available.

This is the restaurant of the Museum of Islamic Art, so it's perfect for a stopover before or after your visit.

You'll be seduced by the modern, uncluttered decor, reflecting the Muslim style, as well as by the refreshing atmosphere, not to mention the quality service. And to top it all off, you can enjoy a wide range of coffees, from espresso to Arabic coffee.

An address that doesn't look like much, behind the slightly decrepit green walls of a neighborhood house. A lot of effort has gone into the repainted dining room. One of Kelantan's specialties: nasi kerabu. The only difference: instead of being bluish in the Malay style, the rice here is green, because it's cooked with some forty herbs! The owners are Sino-Thai, and this is a Thai recipe known as khau jan. The chicken is as tender as you could wish, the vegetables as fresh as you could wish, and given the price, you could well have a second plate.

An Indian restaurant that serves good cheap curries and salami.

It is air-conditioned, it runs, it is Thai and Malay, like the Kelantan.

There's no city without a food court, and this one is open from morning to night. It's huge, housed in a large neon-lit hall.

As always, you choose your table, place your order and pay each vendor individually on delivery.

Located within The Magellan hotel complex, this airy, sea-view restaurant offers a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cuisine is primarily Mediterranean-inspired(mezze, pizza, etc.), but the menu also features more local or fusion dishes. The menu of wood-fired pizzas changes weekly, with recipes influenced by Malaysian cuisine that are sometimes surprising! Good value for money, in a relaxed setting that's very pleasant at sunset.

This is a restful restaurant, with an elegant, almost bourgeois setting, showcasing the know-how of Indian craftsmen. Finely carved chairs, family portraits decorated with garlands of fresh flowers (to honour the deceased). They serve the food of the Brahmins, the caste of priests and intellectuals!

Proper dress required.

The neon letters of this pocket restaurant can be spotted from afar... along with the crowds who come here at certain times to stock up on kebabs of all kinds. Very popular with the locals, the dining room, and especially the few tables on the terrace, fill up fast in the evenings. The chef works with prestidigitator-like speed to bring out a host of skewers cooked on wooden sticks: crab, tofu, oysters, vegetables or, more original, hundred-year-old or quail eggs. Most are steamed or fried. Nasi Lemak is also highly prized.

In a quiet part of the new town, it's at least a 20-minute walk from Dutch Square. But it's well worth the effort, as this Japanese address is one of the city's finest restaurants. Private lounges, sushi bars, closed booths or traditional tables are just some of the ways you can share delicious Japanese specialties. The extensive menu revisits the great classics. All products are extremely fresh and offered at very reasonable prices. Service is friendly but a little slow.
