Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbI've been pretty lucky to be an invited guest a number of times at Weissbrau and have always been very happy with the beer and pork offerings. This time was no different as Weissbrau celebrated their second anniversary at Pavilion, Kuala Lu
Restaurant Lai Po Heen
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbIn the dining scene it's always a good sign when you see a full house and locals lining up to get into a restaurant. This is such the case for Lai Po Heen at the Mandarin Oriental. Hungry families are happy to line up for some of the best dim sum and Cantonese dishes in town. The ambience is lively with upbeat background music, buzzing chatter from diners and sprightly entertainment provided by chefs tossing, turning, flipping and smiling
Restoran Muar
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbMuar is a town about half way between Kuala Lumpur and Johor known for its delicious local variations of Chinese and Malay dishes. Restoran Muar, just off Changkat Bukit Bintang, offers a chance to try some specialities from this region right here KL. I've been dragged to Restoran Muar three times in the last few months by local friends. It's a popular spot on weekends so you might have to wait for a table - not for long though - it's not t
Nerovivo
It is a lovely set-up, within a single-storey semi-detached house, which has been refurbished as a modern-style Italian Tratoria
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbNerovivo is one of my all time favourite Italian spots in KL. The original of the Nero trio, I'm always happy with the variety of dishes on the menu and quality of produce. I love the chic interior and outdoor seating areas, sleek bar and comfy waiting area. You can tell training of staff is a priority as they really do try to be informative, friendly and attentive. I h
Real And Wholesome (RAW) Coffee
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbFor a place that serves such delightful coffee and scrumptious refection I'd expect to see more people here on a weekend. I'm told though that during the week it gets quite busy serving office workers in the area. Real and Wholes
Luk Yu Tea House 陸羽茶館
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbLocal buddies might say I'm crazy to pay 26RM for noodles in Malaysia. These one were really good though! Luk Yu Tea House in Starhill Gallery serves some mighty fine Chinese cuisine. What's more, it's air conditioned, clean and beautiful. Yes, I probably could get something just as tasty on a street corner, but then I might have to share the scene with rats, smelly drains and car fumes. This experience was much nicer. The service staff wer
Edo Ichi Japanese Cuisine
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbMy Japanese cuisine repertoire is somewhat limited to sushi, sashimi, soba, curry, shabu shabu, teppanyaki and teriyaki. And even with those dishes I can't proclaim to have profound knowledge. With this humbling fact in mind, I usually rely on my lovely Japanese buddy to order and explain what's being eaten. But... with her not around, hubby and I wer
Hakka Republic
Not many flaws i could identify really, even if i had to fork out the money to eat the above (yes i ate for well, free). Mains aren't over the roof top prices with decent portions. Looking forward to their degustation menu which is going to feature soon and plenty of chilling sessions while tasting their "on the tap" wines.
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbhat I love about Hakka Republic are the garden views, stylish interior (designed by an award winning architect) and the awe inspiring wine menu. Executive Director, Sue Lim Siok Chin, is an expert in old world wines and, taking full
Carcosa Seri Negara
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbThere are many places around KL that that serve a pleasant afternoon tea, but in terms of atmosphere, Carcosa Seri Negara is one of the most elegant. Located in a refurbished colonial building, Carcosa is surrounded by manicured lawns and well groomed gardens. Both
Makan Kitchen
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbMakan Kitchen, in the Double Tree Hilton, is an ideal place to take guests who are only in town for a short time. You can experience Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisine all in one spot and not worry about unaccustomed guests' tummies adjusting to the local bugs they might be exp
A Slice of Heaven by Just Heavenly
Their desserts looks as promising and good as always. I hear that you will be able to access their full cake menu here too!
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbExpats and locals alike will delight in knowing that there is a bakery in Ampang producing fabulously handsome cakes that taste heavenly too.

The four best sellers, all pictured above are, Red Velvet, Choc & Cheese, Durian and Death by Chocolate. The cupcakes are worth every calorie, but can
Soo Kee Char Siew
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbGoing from my healthiest meal for 2012 at Living Food posted yesterday right on to the unhealthiest but equally tasty at Soo Kee today. Well known by locals as one of the best char siew places in KL the evening we visited we saw this dish on every table. My local buddies and a number of foreigners in the know had advised that char siew is really the only dish to order as it is so goo
Antipodean Cafe
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbAntipodean came highly recommended by friends as a cafe to happily pass a morning in Bangsar. If you ignore the view from the window you could easily believe you were in a sophisticated nook in Melbourne or Sydney. The cool sharp setting with staff uniformed in black giv
PIETRO Ristorante Italiano
Newest Italian restaurant in KL. Serving fine dining quality food at reasonable prices. Excellent wood-fire pizzas, good pasta and really delicious lamb cutlets are a must try. Very nice set up with private rooms catering to private functions.
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbEntering Pietro Ristorante Italiano you are greeted by a clean smart interior, long open bar and gentle Italian tunes serenading the background. Although a large area, there are sufficient nooks, corners, upstairs and private rooms for you to find a space to suit your needs, whether they be more intimate or centre stage. Given the setting is
Mochi Sweets
The Yum List posted theyumlist.blogspot.com 552 ReviewsSuperbDrawn to a hovering crowd, like an insect to the light, I discovered the Mochi Sweets stand in Gardens Mall. Glutinous rice flour pounded into a soft chewy casing and filled with creamy not too sweet ice cream was the cause of the commotion. After making my purchase the ven
