KL Restaurants

William is the chef of our protein heavy daily breakfasts at the condo, which means we are ready for lunch (our main meal of the day) around 2 pm. So we primarily try out Kuala Lumpur’s international food scene for late lunches. Unfortunately we have opportunity to try only a minuscule sample of what is available, mostly restaurants within a 20 minute walk from the condo.

Our first full day here we used Google Maps to help us find Tatto, an upscale Italian restaurant where we are one of three tables during the mid-afternoon. Their mushroom pasta brings a broad smile to William’s face and I thoroughly enjoy their whitefish entree.

​Two Sons Bistro is in the mall at Petronas Twin Towers. They offer an executive lunch with various Malaysian entrees. My chicken choice comes with a leg and thigh covered with curry, a spicy vegetable medley, and a tower of rice. I am careful to avoid the entrees with chili peppers next to the names, but still I feel heat - especially from the vegetables!

​Healy Mac’s is an Irish Pub which we repeat during our stay, partially due to the food, partially due to the Kilkenny beer, and partially due to their broadcast of New Zealand rugby matches.

When meandering near Merdeka Square we stop in a spot for Indian Butter Chicken. It helps that Little India is just a couple of kilometers away. The dish is okay, but not nearly as good as what I have experienced in Bangalore.

Again walking around the Mall at Petronas Towers in search of food we stumble across Thai Odessey, a cafe associated with a Thai spa. Ah... Chicken Massamam!

Madam Kwan’s is a Malaysian chain of eight restaurants owned by Kwan Swee Lian. We tried getting into the one in KLCC during the regular lunch hour and there was a long queue of office workers. We save it for a Sunday where there isn’t much of a queue, but after we are seated we find out that families love it - the noise level from little voices permeates. I choose Char Kway Teow as my entree, which is a dish of flat noodles, dark soy sauce, chicken, prawns, squid, egg and bean sprouts. It has just a bit of spice and it’s delightful. Apparently Madam Kwan’s is big enough to package their own snacks.
​ 
We found all of the restaurants we tried to be quite reasonably priced. With a glass of wine and a beer we usually spent the equivalent of $31 USD including service charge and tax. Of course, if we would have gone to a high end restaurant with steaks imported from Australia or Japan the price would have been much higher.

If/when we return to Kuala Lumpur we’ll check out more of the food scene.
