Yakiniku Toraji
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsDue to changes in the currency exchange rate between the ringgit and the yen, Yakiniku Toraji has improved their signature premium course menu (while retaining the original price) to correctly reflect its true value. Not only the course will include more meat, some of the existing items have been upgraded as well. Lastly, you definitely would not want to miss Yakiniku Toraji’s weekday set lunch. There are two types, one comes with marinated Wagyu beef at RM30 (limited to 10 sets a day) and the other is served with Australian beef (no limit) at RM40. Every set is also accompanied by an appetizer, rice, salad and soup. Trust me, it’s super worth it
Restoran Kee Heong
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsDuring our last makan trip to Klang, a Klang native recommended us to try Kee Heong Bak Kut Teh in Taman Eng Ann. This is where she would bring her KL friends to enjoy this staple, mainly because of their great consistency in maintaining the food quality
Wayback Burgers - Melawati Mall
Like your favorite song... or that friendship formed in grade school. Wayback Burgers is all about creating great memories that stand the test of time. That's why our restaurants are warm and inviting - comfy places where you can hook up with good friends, put your elbows on the table, and simply be yourself. Kind of like the Great Store of yesterday, where the locals would gather around the stove for great stories and good companionship and let the world go by. Everything felt familiar and - almost in an indescribable way - "just right." Rest assured: You can still get those same feelings today. Because at Wayback Burgers, we're a throwback to a simpler, more genuine time. And as we continue to grow, our humble beginnings still represent everything we stand for.
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsWayback Burgers, one of the ‘better burger’ brands from U.S., has opened up their first outlet in Malaysia in Melawati Mall. When ‘better burger’ chains are mentioned, they usually refer to the industry leaders like Five Guys and In-N-Out Burger. These chains are supposedly a class above fast food restaurants and serve fresh to order burgers with higher quality ingredients. Overall our first experience at Wayback Burgers was a disappointing one. Even more so, considering we braved the traffic all the way from Kepong and had to deal with the mall’s horrendous parking. To be absolutely fair, the restaurant is new so maybe they still have some things to work out. But all I can really think of now is that we could have went down a few floors and eaten at Carl’s Jr instead
Blue Ribbon
Chinese and Western food. Variety of Soup Noodles, Rice Dishes, Cheese Rice, Pastas, Burgers, All Day American Breakfast, Teatime & Kids Menu at incredibly Economic Prices.
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsWhen it comes to food variety, Blue Ribbon is ahead of the rest. The menu offers a great mix of local, Western and Asian dishes, so there is bound to be something for everyone. Even bak kut teh is available here!
Mel's Corner
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsNow if you want to enjoy durian without having to spend a fortune, durian cendol will be your answer. And no, you don’t need to travel to Shah Alam, as it’s also available at Mel’s Corner in Batu Caves.
Pisco Bar
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsBukit Bintang is not short of bars and all of them are doing fairly well. Based on our observation, Pisco Bar seems to the busiest and packed with a good mix of expats, travelers and locals who work in the vicinity. The reviews of their food we read online are extremely positive too, and that is always an assuring sign. If you can only order one dish here, get the cebiche. Also known as ceviche, it basically consists of raw fresh seafood marinated in lime juice and usually with onions and chili peppers as well. As the seafood absorbs the marinade, it undergoes a denaturation process and turns an opaque color. In other words, the seafood gets ‘cooked’ by the citrus juice.
Ah Yee Curry Mee
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsIf you know someone who grew up in Kepong in the 80s, ask them if they know about Ah Yee Curry Mee. Chances are they have been eating her food since young. From what I was told, Ah Yee Curry Mee had a humble beginning as an economy noodle and chee cheong fun stall. Yong tau fu and other noodles were only added as part of her offerings in the later years.

Restaurant Pin Chou (槟州小食中心)
Go along the main road of Port Klang, drive slowly after KFC, you will see a road side stall just opposite EconJaya Supermarket
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsRestoran Pin Chou is the place to look for these delicious glutinous rice balls. The stall originated from Port Klang and was already famous for a long time before we knew about it. Locals would come and queue even before the stall is open for business.
La Belle Saison
Food has always been something close to the human heart, enjoyed in various shapes and forms shared among friends, family and acquaintances since time immemorial. The Seasons provides us with a myriad of vegetables, poultry, seafood and spices alike and we aspire to listen to mother nature and work with the blessings she grants us. Bearing that spirit in mind, we procure ingredients in their prime and introduce a touch of creativity transforming them into exquisite dishes for our guests to savour!
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsKota Kemuning was never exactly known for fine food, but that changed when La Belle Saison opened one year ago. The head chef, Jit Hu was trained in a three Michelin star restaurant in Paris before returning to open his own establishment. Here, he applies various cooking techniques he learned during his culinary stint in France to create hearty and traditional dishes at affordable prices.
Restoran Yuan Kee 源記海鮮飯店
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsWe decided to check out Yuan Kee (源记) after driven by it countless of times. This place serves classic Chinese food and it is probably also the busiest restaurant in the vicinity. It is located at the end of Kepong‘s ‘wai sek kai’ just before you make the turn towards Residence condominium
Dian Huo Xin Wo 点火心窝
Dian Huo Xin Wo 点火心窝, located right in front of LDP nearby Kelana Jaya LRT station.
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsThe first time we came to Dian Huo Xin Wo, it was still operating at their old location in SS4. I remember I was hooked on their crustacean roe soup which led me to rank them as one of my favorite steamboat restaurants in PJ. A few months later, they shifted to SS6. We dropped by for dinner recently but unfortunately, we found that not only the price had gone up, the quality had declined as well.
Ăn Viet - Sunway Pyramid
Ăn Viet, which literally means "Eat Viet", is a casual dining restaurant serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Ăn Viet strives to remain true to our food-losophy of using quality ingredients to produce made-from-scratch and cooked to order dishes.
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsBased on our observation, Ăn Viet is one of the busiest restaurants in Sunway Pyramid. Besides the standard pho, Vietnamese spring rolls and banh mi, their menu also offer some of the more unique dishes like bun cha and cha ca. For me, that’s the defining factor that sets them apart from the other Vietnamese restaurants in KL
Shin Nihon 新日本焼肉党
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsWith everything considered, the only let down in our meal was the beef bone ramen. And although the Special 4 Cuts did not impress, I do not wish to pass a blanket judgement on the other more premium platters until I have actually tried them. I am positive we will return, but probably for weekend lunch only when they have better deals. If you are planning a meal here, I have attached their ala carte menu in the following gallery for your budget consideration.
Oriental Chinese Cuisine
Located at Pullman Hotel Kuala Lumpur Bangsar Level 1,We have a seating capacity of up to 220 guests. We offer modern authentic Dim Sum as well as wok-friendly dishes and small eats and not forgetting its hand-made Musang King Durian pancake.
posted www.vkeong.com 879 ReviewsLet me begin by saying that authentic dim sum should not be pork free. Although not every dish in dim sum restaurants contains pork, the iconic ones such as char siu bao and siu mai are traditionally made with pork. So when you substitute the main ingredient with something else like chicken, you have distorted the intended tasted. But since we live in a multi-racial country where everyone loves dim sum, there is a demand for halal and pork free dim sum restaurants, especially in KL. Among them, Oriental Chinese Cuisine in Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar is one the few good ones which I would recommend.
