Where to makan in KL

I’m not a connoisseur in fine dining nor do I know where to get good food in KL but I’ve been to a few places and I think they deserve a mention and recommendation …

• Nasi Kandar – Kudu on Jalan TAR, opposite the Honda showroom
• Beriani – Insaf on Jalan TAR, next to Gulati’s
• Beriani Johor – Uncle in TTDI Jaya Shah Alam
• Ikan Bakar – behind Istana Negara and another one in Pasar Keramat
• Thai food – Anwar (Ali) Tomyam in Kampung Baru, off Jalan Daud
• Nasi Padang – a shop with no name in Kampung Baru, off Jalan Raja Uda, near Surau Jawa
• Putu Piring – a shop in front of a house next to the abovementioned Nasi Padang shop
• Asam Pedas – Man in Kampung Baru, Jalan Raja Uda, behind Wisma Perkeso
• Sizzling Steak – Coliseum Cafe on Jalan TAR (some say it’s not Halal certified)
• Char Koey Teow – Aiman in TTDI Jaya Shah Alam
• Koey Teow – Bintang Henry in Uptown Damansara
• Hainanese Chicken Rice – Chee Meng on Jalan Bukit Bintang, opposite YTL
• Satay – Mulia in Jalan Gurney (Semarak) opposite the Celcom HQ
• Roti Canai – Raju’s in Section 5, PJ
• Ayam Kampong – Ayam Hassan in USJ Subang Jaya & section 13 Shah Alam
• Japanese food – I’m torn between Tykoh Inagiku (Menara Keck Seng, Jalan Bukit Bintang) and Kogetsu (Saujana Resort, Subang) but the Teppan Prawn at Tykoh Inagiku is highly recommended!
• Kelantanese food - there is this shop at Lorong Haji Hussein 2, opposite KL International Hotel in Kampung Baru
• Soup - Ani Sup Utara in Section 9 Shah Alam behind Concorde Hotel

• When in Penang, go have Nasi Kandar at Line Clear, near Chowrasta
• Go have Laksa at Lembah, by the river when in Kuala Kangsar,
• When in Tanjung Malim, have Pau and Mee Kari at Yik Mun
• When in Kuantan go have seafood at Tanjong Lumpur
• When in Muar have Satay for breakfast
• Look for Ikan Patin Gulai Tempoyak when in Temerloh
