LITTLE PENANG KAFÉ - KLCC

Chinese restaurant
4/5
1 review

This restaurant specializes in authentic Nyonya (or Peranakan) cuisine. Classic dishes include assam laksa (noodles cooked in fish stock) and nasi lemak. On weekends, the chef prepares a delicious siamese lemak laksa. The excellent desserts may seem confusing to novices. The many mirrors on the wall make the place bright and give an impression of grandeur, despite the restaurant's modest size. Several of the brand's addresses in town.

BANGSAR SEAFOOD VILLAGE

World cuisine restaurant

We eat under the stars watching trees and cars in the parking lot. Beer works, which perfectly accompanies seafood in Asia. The cooked crab in butter sauce is the great speciality of the house. On Friday and Saturday evening the restaurant closes at midnight. On those evenings you can enjoy all your content with shrimp, crab and lobster. Prices begin at 50 RM and increase with the weight of the crustacean.

CHALET

From the Swiss gastronomy francisée in a tavern decor of the Alps for this chic restaurant. It serves Swiss cheese, lobster bisque, shredded, pressed to the press, etc. The service is friendly, almost familiar, although the dress is smart. Considered one of the best continental restaurants.

SAO NAM

Vietnamese restaurant €€

Set away from the hustle and bustle of the market, this restaurant is a discreet but essential institution in the Bukit Bintang district. It offers the great classics of Vietnamese cuisine, arranged in original ways by a respected chef. Freshness, authenticity and creativity are hard to find elsewhere in Kuala Lumpur when it comes to Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant is housed in a charming little yellow colonial house. You can also enjoy the terrace. A fine wine list completes the picture.

WONG AH WAH

Chinese restaurant

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.

TAMARIND HILL

Burmese restaurant €€€

Tamarind Hill is not a restaurant, but a superb retreat located in one of Kuala Lumpur's most charming hotels. A beautiful colonial-style dining room welcomes you to enjoy Thai and Burmese-influenced cuisine that leaves no one indifferent. The ambient calm, enhanced by the chirping of the fountains and the serenity of a large Buddha, will transport you far from the urban chaos, as will the elegant and tasty cuisine. The warm, professional service will guide you. A true invitation to travel and pleasure.

CIAO RISTORANTE

Pizzeria €€

On the outskirts of KL golf course, you can enjoy the green views at this chic and renowned establishment in the capital. With parquet floors, immaculate white tablecloths and alcantara chairs, comfort radiates. The menu is generous and takes you all around the Big Boot: seafood ravioli, Parma ham and salami, pasta and pizza, pana cotta. You have to ask for the daily specials that are not on the menu. Leo, the owner, is everywhere at once, watching over everything and twirling like a dancer. A certain style that pleases the locals.

ANNALAKSHMI

Vegetarian Restaurant €€

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! Therefore, the card is entirely vegetarian and alcohol is prohibited. The menu changes every day. Try lentil curry, coconut and vegetable curry and dessert kulfi (Indian ice cream). Proper dress required.

MERCHANTS' LANE

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€

This café-restaurant, hidden away on the second floor of an old shophouse on Jalan Merchant, is very popular with young locals, who flock here for weekend brunches. It offers a pleasant, trendy setting: three singularly decorated rooms, indoors or on the covered terrace, in a neo-industrial style. The menu features local, Western and fusion dishes, as well as pastries. Don't expect great gastronomy, but rather comfort food that can be very satisfying. Ideal for a gentle start to the day.

HAN KEE

Chinese restaurant €€

Open late at night, Han Kee is a popular, casual Chinese eatery with a terrace that's ideal for blending into the typical Chinatown atmosphere. Han Kee's menu offers a wide choice of dishes, available in different portion sizes. Ideally, you should order several to share, accompanied by a beer to round things off. The menu is accompanied by images to help you discover new flavors. Depending on the time of day, you may have to wait a little, but the service afterwards is very efficient.

OLD CHINA CAFÉ

Chinese restaurant

Virtually nothing has changed in this delightful dining room since 1927, when the Selangor State Laundry Guild moved here. Since then, Nyonya cuisine has made a name for itself. Try the top hats, stuffed with various ingredients, as well as laksa noodles and claypot herbal chicken. For dessert, theais kacang will bring your meal to a pleasant close. Drizzle with kopi or tea, direct from the Cameron Highlands. A great place to discover Malaysian cuisine.

MENG KEE GRILL FISH

Chinese restaurant

You'll inevitably be approached by the touts on Jalan Alor, and there's no guarantee that you'll reach Meng Kee on an empty stomach. This would be a pity, as this restaurant with its huge terrace is always full and serves delicious grilled or steamed fish. You can also try the crab, albeit a little expensive, or the delicious Kam Heong clams prepared with shrimp paste and lots of spices. On the other hand, skip the undercooked chicken wings or the satay skewers with their light sauce.

DA BAO

Chinese restaurant €€

A bar-restaurant with a trendy, urban feel. We come here first and foremost for the bao, the stuffed Chinese rice buns, which are to die for. We particularly recommend the pork bao, with its inimitable melt-in-your-mouth texture. But the rest of the menu also stands up well, with marinated vegetables, soups, ravioli and other seasonal specialties. Vegetarian options are also available. After a certain hour, the second floor becomes more festive, and you can simply enjoy a drink at the bar.

MARCO POLO CHINESE CUISINE

Chinese restaurant €€

One of the oldest Chinese restaurants in town, and also one of the best. The setting is modern, with perfect lighting and soft background music. Try shark fin soup with crabmeat or Peking duck. Great variety of dim sum too. Attentive, friendly staff. Our only regret is that the air-conditioning is on full blast, but that's not the prerogative of the only restaurant in Kuala Lumpur...

XIN CUISINE

Chinese restaurant €€

It would be a shame to come to Malaysia without trying out a good Chinese restaurant. In a décor reminiscent of ancient China, with gilded woodwork, dragons and labyrinths, you'll find Cantonese specialties at their very best. Braised sea cucumber, fish head and mushrooms, thick abalone soup and fish mouths, tofu with a hundred-year-old egg are just some of the curiosities you'll want to try if you've got a strong stomach. Don't worry, you'll find much more classic dishes that are still refined. Appropriate dress required.

GINGER

Thai restaurant

If you're planning to do a little shopping and pack some last-minute souvenirs, your steps will inevitably lead you to Central Market. The Ginger is the perfect restaurant for a bite to eat between stores. The decor is to die for. The drapes give this tiny restaurant an intimate, oriental charm. The cuisine comes from all corners of Southeast Asia, Malaysia and Thailand in particular. We loved the fish and chips with Thai sauce and the jungle fern salad!

RAMA V

Thai restaurant €€

This restaurant pays tribute to the fifth King of Siam, from the Chakri dynasty. You'll find yourself in a Thai establishment, conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The place is much appreciated for its fine cuisine, served in a simple yet elegant setting. Big eaters will complain about the undoubtedly somewhat meager proportions. Nevertheless, you'll find the great classics brilliantly executed. Perhaps you'll try the crispy tamarind duck for a change.
