A florist, bakery and cafe rolled into one, Little Collins is a comfy, unpretentious place to grab some no-frills grub. Unlike many of Solaris Mont Kiara's other outlets, it closes pretty early, so be there before 7 pm to be safe. The Ultimate Scrambled Eggs didn't exactly live up to its...

Really should have started this five years ago, but better late than never, right? So here we go now! *Deep breath* M Circle is Starhill's revamp of what was once Tiff's Jazz Lounge on the Explore floor. It feels sleek but slightly more impersonal. The lounge singer who used to stro...

A recent addition to SohoKL, Schokolart reeled us in with high hopes for its chocolate cocktails and creative concoctions that its menu claimed were "bound to make us shake with pleasure." Clockwise from top right: Love, Life & Chocolates (three scoops of dark chocolate ice cr...

A worthy successor to what was once the Attic, but its long-term prospects seem uncertain. More than ever, there's so much competition on this street for the same customers. Foie gras with berry compote and glazed endive. What's not to like, right? Waldorf salad, with granny...

Taking the place of the former Attic in Bangsar, Leonardo's is a gorgeous, soulful place spread over two floors. The Wine Loft, above the Dining Room, offers a limited food menu. Mamma Mia pizza, topped with jamon serrano and rocket. Perfect for sharing. Tender pork knuckl...

Its reputation as one of Jalan Bangkung's sturdiest survivors is a testament to Opus' reliability, with longtime favourites on the menu that are worth revisiting over and over again. Foie gras with poached pear in red wine sauce. Tasted excellent, though maybe someday they'll shake thin...

It's easy to miss this tiny TTDI outlet, where you can choose a combo of meat and organs for soup dishes. Warning: Potentially disgusting pics ahead! Cow brain, lungs and tongue. The brain seemed really squishy. Intestines, tripe, tail .... yep, anything goes here! This wa...

Reunion bears little resemblance to the typical KL Chinese restaurant, but even traditionalists should be won over by its beauty. There's a palpable sense of mystique and mystery here. The hall for large groups is less intimate but still looks terrific. Roast meat combo of ...

SkyBar seems a lot more casual before the sun sets, with hotel guests swimming and basking in the warmth. But the daytime view outside lacks the impression made by KL's night skyline. The signature cocktails are still outstanding though. Selangor Sling (gin and cherry brandy shaken wi...

After closing down in Ampang, Tamarind Hill is back _ now in the heart of the city, perched on a hill overlooking Jalan Sultan Ismail. You'll have to climb a long flight of stairs to get here, but it's worth the effort. Possibly KL's most beautiful restaurant. A serene, comfy place that...

The Club at The Saujana (yep, that's its official name) seems to target mainly golf enthusiasts. But it has a gorgeous lounge (simply called The Lounge) where even those of us who've never touched a golf club can feel at ease. Mojito and Citrus Rum Cooler. Classic cocktails are all avail...

Keep your expectations low here. There seems to be only one employee, who handles everything from taking orders to preparing food. Snow yoghurt with blueberry sauce and frozen yoghurt with fruits. The yoghurt tastes pleasant and has a smooth texture, but it comes only in one flavour _ pl...

Yet another "modern" kopitiam, Malaya Straits caters mostly to a lunch crowd. Rojak buah with sotong. A tangy treat. Hainanese chicken rice. Decent but unmemorable. Penang char kuey teow. Surprisingly good considering where we were. Cendol with durian. The durian ha...

According to the buzz, the Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa franchise spreading across KL is a pale imitation of the Kampung Baru original. Naturally, we felt compelled to probe the truth. The verdict? We won't be rushing back for more, but it's not bad. The rice is fluffy and well cooked, though it...

Offering New Orleans cuisine tweaked for Malaysian tastebuds, this is an interesting outlet with a lake view on Plaza Kelana Jaya's waterfront. Seafood gumbo (sauteed seafood with creamy sauce stirred in herbs, spices and mozzarella). The menu's description fails to mention that there's...
