Kuala Lumpur- Page 7

The environment is pretty nice, a cozy home surrounded by many things and books, and a garden view. The music selection is meh. The chef recommended a fish and chicken meal for the day, and an extra dish of eggs. The food feels a bit homey, slightly above average, and pretty alright for RM 25. Drink options are okay. Service is a bit slow. The main problem with this place is the expectations, as it is hard to book, and I need to book about 1 week to 1 month ahead. So naturally this set the expectations high (due to the effort required), but it did fall below my expectations. If this is just a normal walk-in restaurant, then I would not have the expectations issues. A few things in the beginning rub me the wrong way as well: parking is slightly far, the front is not obvious, and you actually have to enter via the back entrance. Just me complaining, if you already got the heads up, this will be a non issue.

Love this place: great service with good dessert and mains and coffee. Cappuccino is good, Tiramisu is good and Shakshuka is tasty.

The Edamame Pork Lard Rice (RM 13) is the best simple inexpensive comfort food. Lychee coffee (RM 13) is interesting, and Jelly of the Day (RM 6) is satisfying. The jelly ran out pretty fast, so order first and ask them to serve later.

This place served some of the best dosa/tosai I have ever tasted, albeit more expensive than usual. Onion Rava Dosa (RM 15) is crispy and tasty, with great chutney. Rava Idly (RM 11.50) is pretty thick and nice too, served with the same Chutney. Filter Coffee (RM 7.50) is pretty interesting as well.

It is a colourful street filled with Indian deco and shops. The best way to enjoy it is probably to sit down and enjoy some Indian breakfast or snacks.

The ambience here for morning breakfast is just perfect: open air dining on sidewalk, shades provided by nearby tall buildings, and the bustling atmosphere of an Indian breakfast place. Besides dosa, they do serve all kind on snacks, and the tea is pretty good.

A Sri Lankan Tamil temple, everyone is welcome to enter (remove your shoes, dress appropriately). Inside is pretty spacious with plenty of columns, where the statues of deity are covered (you should not photograph the deities). Everyone just sit down to wait for prayer time, then they will play the music instruments, rang the bell and the priest well guide the prayers to all the deities. Everyone is welcomed to join this prayer.

Build in 1903, this Church is open to visitors. Simple and beautiful.

Definitely stop by for a Cendol dessert when nearby, it is simple and nice. There is a Fried Kway Teow stall next door, or fried banana fritters nearby.

Pretty good fried banana fritters and friend nian gao. The batter is nice, kinda special.

Located with Moneys Corner Food Court, Peter's Pork Noodle seems to be the most popular. Sadly the soup is pretty salty today, taste like an average bowl of pork noodle.

A nice hiking trail in the middle of the city. The is a short NCP trail, can be completed in 20 minutes. There is a much longer CP which takes 2 hours, but with many shortcuts to shorten the trail. Plenty of swings along the trails. There is a bamboo trail, an abandoned house and a few metal gazebos. Saw many squirrels, some birds and monitor lizards along the way.

A modern and clean hotel. The common area are huge and well decorated, plenty of sofas to chill or work desk to get some work done. The room is small but sufficient, with modern control using iPad to control lightings, blinds and tv. Sufficiently comfortable. Great location, next to Jalan Alor, but still quiet.

This is a pork place, specializing in Pork Roulade. The highlight would be All-Time Curry Ramen (RM 22.80) with tasty broth mixed with pork lard and minced meat, good enough noodles and half a piece of Pork Roulade. I believe the broth actually enhances the Pork Roulade, which by itself is already pretty good. The Nasi Lemak Pork Roulade (RM 30.30) is a letdown because the anchovies and peanuts are too dry, and the sambal is average, and luckily the flavourful fluffy rice kind of saves it. The full Pork Roulade is probably too big (half is enough), and the mixture with Nasi Lemak kind of makes it too dry. Fried Mochi (RM 7.20) is nice, filled with richness of mashed sweet potato and crispy skin. I wish there is more Mochi. Bali Paradise (RM 9.80) is blended barley with ice shake and lemon. It is very rich in barley and fresh lime.
