Authentic Malay Restaurants In KL: 10 Places Only Known To Locals For Delicious & Affordable Meals

Authentic Malay restaurants in KL

It goes without saying that Malaysia is home to the best Malay food in the world. While popular dishes like nasi lemak and satay are so famous they’ve become a staple in the typical Malaysian diet, there are plenty of underrated Malay dishes that deserve our appreciation.

Here’s a list of under-the-radar Malay restaurants around Kuala Lumpur that have received stamps of approval from locals themselves:

1. Nasi Dulang Daun Pisang – comes with 4 sides of curries & sambal  (from RM7.50)

Nasi Dulang Daun Pisang made it on our list of spiciest food in KL with their grilled squid ( about RM20) that’s made with enough cili padi to make you sweat buckets. But if spicy food isn’t your thing, it’s worth your while to try their regular nasi dulang sets instead.

Each set comes with a bowl of gulai masak lemak , a creamy coconut curry to balance the flavours of the additional 3 types of sambal . You can pair these with a selection of seafood, chicken, and beef. 

Their Set Dulang Ayam is priced at RM7.50 – a price that’s worth paying for a meal that comes with a variety of sambals and a generous piece of fried chicken. We personally recommend the Set Dulang Talapia Merah (RM9) : the fish is fried till its bones are crispy but the flesh remains juicy and tender.

Address: Pt 75024, Jalan Besar Sungai Ramal Dalam, 43000 Kajang, Selangor Opening hours: 10.30AM-4PM, Daily Telephone: 012-323 0220

2. Ikan Bakar Terangkat – grilled fish coated in sambal (from RM12/set)

Tell people you’re from Kajang and the first thing they’d say is, “ wah , you must eat a lot of satay”. But this town has other delicious gems to offer, namely its other local specialty: ikan bakar . 

While you’re in the ‘hood, head over to Ikan Bakar Terangkat for grilled fish that’s slathered in an addictive homemade sambal paste. It’s a secret recipe, but it’s obvious that they’ve thrown a bunch of onions and ikan bilis into the mix. That, and being grilled on a banana leaf helps the flavours seep into the fish’s flesh. 

Go for their Set Jimat Terangkat (RM12) , if you’ve got a big appetite. Each set comes with a choice of either fish or squid , omelette, rice, clear soup, sambal belacan , and teh o ais . For those coming in a group, the restaurant has a full seafood set that comes with clams, crabs, prawns, and fish (RM79 for a group of 6) .

Address: No. 1, Lot 3083 Jalan Ayer Itam, Kampung Sungai Merab Luar, 43000 Kajang, Selangor Opening hours: 5.30PM-12AM, Daily Telephone: 012-466 2869 Website

3. Semangkuk’s Mee Bandung Gearbox Kambing – bone marrow noodles (RM14.50)

A huge part of Malaysian diet is asking for things to be extra kaw . Point in case: kopi kaw , wanting our curries to be thicccc , and having our noodles in super rich broth. 

Mee bandung is already quite a rich dish, but Semangkuk has taken it up a notch by adding decadent bone marrow into each bowl of noodles. The Mee Bandung Gearbox Kambing (RM14.50) is a must-try if you’re in Nilai. 

The chunks of meat around the bone also helps enrich the gravy with the slight gaminess that you usually get from lamb. The sprinkle of cilantro helps to balance out some of that richness.

Address: 3265, Kawasan Perindustrian Nilai, 71800 Nilai, Negeri Sembilan Opening hours: Mon-Thu 8.35AM-6PM | Fri 8.35AM-1PM & 2PM-6PM | Sat-Sun 8.30AM-6.25PM Telephone: 011-1002 5981 Website

4. Sedap Malam Station –  late night snack of Kacang Pool (RM7.50)

We were left with a big question mark over our heads when we made the discovery of Kacang Pool . If it sounds alien to you too, here’s the breakdown of this supper food item that locals have been raving about: it’s a stew made from fava beans and herbs and spices like cumin, garlic, and chilli pepper. 

Sedap Malam Station whips up their own version with minced beef for extra flavour. 

It’s served with a thick slice of toasted bread that’s fluffy enough to soak up the savoury gravy . The addition of an egg makes the dish feel a little more familiar, kind of like a classic egg on toast. 

They have pretty affordable mains on their menu too. Their Nasi Lemak Bungkus (RM3) has always been a crowd favourite, but if you need something more filling to get you through the day, they have a range of Claypot Asam Pedas dishes like the kembung and white rice set (RM8.50).

Address: Blok P-1-21 & 26, Plaza Damas, Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur Opening hours: 11.30AM-3.30PM & 6.30PM-10.30PM, Daily Telephone: 019-3886510 Website

See all locations here .

5.  Restoran Barra – lamb fried rice (RM9.90)

Fried rice is a dish that even noob cooks can quickly put together in the kitchen. But there are some places in KL that do it exceptionally well. Aside from Uncle Soon Fried Rice , another name that comes to mind is Restoran Barra for their tasty, charred lamb fried rice. 

Their Nasi Goreng Kambing (RM9.90) is worth its price tag as it has generous chunks of tender mutton thrown in. The rice is stir-fried with thick mutton curry in a wok, which gives it a smoky aroma. 

Address: No. 2, Jalan 6/7A, Seksyen 6, 43650 Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor Opening hours: 24 hours, Daily Telephone: 03-8912 0040 Website

6. Nasi Kukus Dapur Mama – authentic Kuantan Nasi Kukus (from RM7.50)

Nasi kukus is nasi lemak’s more elaborate but less well-known counterpart, except that red sambal is swopped out for a curry-like kuah and its rice doesn’t have pandan flavouring . For those who appreciate authenticity, Nasi Kukus Dapur Mama prepares it exactly how it’s originally done in Kuantan.

The ayam berempah comes out of the wok golden brown, with crispy skin, and its kuah is packed with a meaty flavour.

Those hailing from Kuantan will relish at the sight of pajeri nenas in Dapur Mama’s Nasi Kukus, a relish made from a huge slice of pineapple. It has a juicy, sweet and spicy bite to it that goes really well with the kuah – drenched rice. 

Address: Blok B-G-01, Jalan SS6/20A, Dataran Glomac Kelana Jaya, 47301,Petaling Jaya, Selangor Opening hours: 10AM-10PM, Daily Telephone: 03-78030112 Website

See other locations here .

7. Restoran Itik Salai Masthar – duck with masak lemak cili api (from RM7)

Most of us have eaten our fair share of Chinese-style roasted duck, the kind that comes with a sweet and sour plum sauce. But if you haven’t yet tried other styles, you’ll want to go for Restoran Itik Salai Masthar’s rendition. 

After being roasted and smoked for 90 minutes, the duck meat is cooked in masak lemak cili api . The creamy masak lemak curry complements the strong flavour of duck while the chilli padi packs in some heat to help off-set this heavy dish. 

You won’t need to set aside too much cash for a meal here as a bowl of Itik Salai Masak Lemak will only cost you RM7 . Their Ayam Salai Masak Lemak is even cheaper at RM5 . 

Address: Medan Selera Adikku, Itik Salai Masthar, Kampung Sungai Ramal Dalam, 43000 Kajang, Selangor Opening hours: 11AM-10PM, Daily Telephone: 019-255 3645

8. Tempat Makan Lesehan – 22 kinds of sambal (from RM5/rice set)

Most Malaysians can’t properly enjoy their meal unless they have some trusty sambal on the side. Be it Chinese, Malay, or Indian cuisine, we’re always up for some spice in our food. Here at Tempat Makan Lesehan , they’ve come up with a whopping 22 types of different sambal to go with your mains. 

This place has quickly caught the attention of true spice kakis out there who are headstrong in sampling all the sambal . Those who are keen to try must not miss out their sambal kedondong , made from ambarella fruits that are tart with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Your standard rice packet of nasi berlauk will already come with 2 types of sambals but you can add-on any of the 22 for as cheap as RM3/per sambal . 

All their meals are affordable too, like the Nasi Berlauk Pecel Lele (RM5) that comes with deep fried catfish, sambal, tempeh , and a bowl of clear soup. If you prefer chicken, go for their Nasi Berlauk Ayam Penyet (RM6).

Address: Jalan LP 7/2, Lestari Perdana, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor Opening hours: 12PM-11PM, Daily Telephone: 014-963 2457 Website

9. Smoke Texas – crispy beef rice (from RM10)

“Crispy beef” are 2 words that we don’t often hear together but it’s a signature menu item at Smoke Texas. It looks like a beef version of ayam goreng kunyit thanks to its sweet-savoury glaze , and the shreds of onion and carrot. 

Just like the name suggests, the beef in the Nasi Crispy Beef (RM10) is lightly battered and then deep fried to make it crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.

Your order of crispy beef will be cooked in your choice of sauce. You’ll be able to choose from Sambal Cili Thai, BBQ Sweet Sour, Black Pepper Herbs, and Cheezy Spicy . From looking at the crowd, BBQ Sweet Sour seems to be the most popular choice. 

Address: No 10, Jalan 2A/27A, Seksyen 1 Wangsa Maju, 53300 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur Opening hours: 12PM-12AM, Daily Telephone: 013-380 5567

10. Nasi Kandar Salman – nasi kuning drenched in 5 kuah (RM5)

Nothing beats a good plate of nasi kandar, especially when the chicken has just been fried and there’s plenty of stir-fried cabbage to go around. But even mamak food doesn’t come cheap these days, with some costing as much as RM10 for a standard plate of nasi kandar.

Not here at Nasi Kandar Salman though, where you can still get nasi kandar for RM5. And no, it’s not for a plate full of veggies. It’s the Nasi Kandar Ayam Biasa (RM5) that comes with a sizable piece of fried chicken. 

Price aside, they ladle in 5 different curries onto your nasi kuning . Once you get your plate, you’ll see that your rice has already been drenched in a mix of fish and beef curry as well as kuah hitam for some savoury sweet action. 

Address: Lot 6741E, Jalan Bistari, Kampung Sungai Tangkas, 43000 Kajang, Selangor Opening hours: Mon-Thu 11PM-8PM | Sat-Sun 11PM-8Pm (Closed on Fridays) Telephone: 013-380 5567 Website

KL's Best Restaurants

• Restaurants
• price 3 of 4

What is it Malaysia’s top restaurant according to Asia's 50 Best and the Michelin Guide. No biggie. 

Why we love it To best understand the depths of Malaysian ingredients and food, Dewakan is where you can find the answer. Over the past eight years, Dewakan has been constantly riffing on Malaysian food culture and challenging the boundaries of what Malaysian cuisine means. Chef-proprietor Darren Teoh wrangles locally-sourced i ndigenous ingredients (think buah keluak, jambul bol, asam keping) into interesting and high-stakes takes, and his obsession is evident - every meal at Dewakan is truly a journey to experience and unravel what Malaysia has to offer as a destination. 

Time Out tip Time your dining reservation to score some spectacular sunset views from Level 48 of the Naza Tower.

What is it Expect dry-aged meats, vegetables and seafood grilled to perfection at this cool spot in Taman Tun. This Michelin-selected restaurant’s style is not defined by its dishes, but rather by what’s locally available in the markets, and how this allows the kitchen to practise sustainability. 

Why we love it Refined, creative, and sophisticated sums up the flavours at Ember. Take a seat at the bar where it puts you right where the action is and places you even closer to the head chef to chat more about food. The protein-forward menu is designed for sharing, so make a reservation with a friend or two. 

Time Out tip A must-order is the smoked beef tartare that’s grounded to order. Wash it down with a house red.

What is it A solid date-night spot over an Italian-inspired menu helmed by Chef Daniel and his skilled team. 

Why we love it Whether you’re here for the chef’s selection dinner or a casual weekend lunch, you can count on exceptional handmade pasta and mains cooked with fresh and seasonal local produce. Add-ons like foie gras and spring truffle are available and we believe it’s worth splurging on. 

Time Out tip End the meal on a sweet note with Gooddam’s tiramisu. Coffee, mascarpone, a dash of alcohol? We’ll be back again. And again.

Fatt Hei Len

• price 1 of 4

What is it In a town full of good Chinese food, Cheras’s institution of a dai chow - Fatt Hei Len is a standout with its stellar Cantonese fare, all at reasonable prices. 

Why we love it Props must be given to the chefs’ unflashy precision as they bring refined cooking reserved for swanky restaurants to a neighbourly scale. The sticky-sweet pork ribs, steamed rice in lotus leaf, fried pork belly with macadamia nuts, and salted egg prawns easily qualify as wedding banquet platters if you pay no heed to the plating. Fatt Hei Len adheres to the principles of modest cooking while delivering bold flavours, but you can also trust the restaurant to whip up a showstopper occasionally, like their claypot shrimp porridge – a comforting, shareable dish that makes everyone at the table huddle around. 

Time Out tip Don’t miss the tofu dishes here, all masterfully executed. And to pay heed to the heady scent of siu heng wine in the restaurant, a must order is the claypot steamed fish in Chinese wine. 

Table & Apron

• 5 out of 5 stars

What is it Casual, family-friendly restaurant serving up hearty sharing plates for the table.

Why we love it Simple ingredients but executed in an absolutely tasty way – there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Let the hospitable crew take care of you as they patiently take you through the menu. The signature buckwheat fried chicken is what the crowds keep coming back for.

Time Out tip The drinks list is just as impressive. Take your pick between wines, craft beers, sharing pitchers of refreshing coolers and crafted drinks – the earl grey milk tea is a lightly sweet and floral concoction to go with your meal.

• Masjid Jamek

What is it An unassuming South Indian Chettinad restaurant located on the second floor of a busy street in the heart of KL, Betel Leaf has been consistently serving up delicious and authentic dishes. 

Why we love it It’s always a happy meal at Betel Leaf. Just around the corner from the Masjid Jamek LRT station, this long-standing and much-loved joint always delivers fuss-free, satisfyingly delicious dishes at reasonable prices. Must-orders: Gobi manchurian, freshly prepared soft chapatis, chicken lollipop and kutthu paratha. The thalis sets (for one or two people) are a great way to sample the full repertoire.

Fun fact: Some of their produce is sourced from their farm in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan. 

Time Out tip Order the mango lassi and thank us later.

What is it A cosy neighbourhood restaurant highlighting local flavours and ingredients with a modern twist.

Why we love it There’s a story behind everything they dish out such as ingredients sourced from local farms and paddy fields, dishes inspired by the chef’s childhood and crafted cocktails to pair with the meals. Come lunch and find comforting rice bowls, and at nightfall, look forward to small and large plates of familiar dishes, but elevated by modern techniques, to share.  

Time Out tip Before you order, always check out the specials on the blackboard, which often change. The signature pork toast with chilli mayo is a must-order.

A Little Farm On The Hill

What is it The name says it all. This little farm nestled in the outskirts of KL has their own airy dining space, where they serve the freshest organic produce, homemade jams and house-smoked meats, all varying by the season. This is the kind of space Singaporeans can only dream of. 

Why we love it  The weekend communal lunches at A Little Farm On The Hill (ALFOTH) are one of our favourite dining experiences in Malaysia, and we don’t say that lightly. It’s an escape from the city. It’s a beautiful farm-to-table experience. It’s the magic of having a relaxing meal of sophisticated yet comforting dishes in the likes of slow roasted organic meats with prunes and apricot, baked pumpkin goat cheese with toasted almonds, homemade flatbreads and dips and baked trout with bunga kantan (ginger flower in Malay), all while breathing in clean, fresh mountain air. 

Time Out tip Their deceptively simple specialty salads will change your mind about salads. 12 types of leaves and herbs all carefully foraged from their farm, prepped, and dressed in a tangy dressing. It’s a dish worth making many pilgrimages for.

Kuala Lumpur is an experience of contrasts. Against the backdrop of the city’s dizzying skyscrapers, including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers (the tallest buildings in the world at the turn of the 21st century), you’ll find yourself wandering uneven back streets and navigating crowded night markets. Amid the traditional kopitiams (coffee shops) tucked into colonial-era buildings, you’ll find striking splashes of modern graffiti, an art form outlawed in parts of Asia but embraced here.

The flavors of the bustling cosmopolitan city are just as diverse. Malay specialists and generations-old street food hawkers form a melting pot of cultures and cuisines, with chefs cooking Chinese, Indian, European, and Nyonya dishes (the latter being a combination of Chinese ingredients with aromatic Malay herbs and spices such as coconut milk, candlenuts, makrut lime leaves, and lemongrass). And great eating doesn’t stop at the borders of downtown but extends well into suburbs like Damansara and Cheras as well as coastal areas like Klang, Kapar, and Sekinchan. The pandemic has certainly taken its toll on the city’s dining scene, forcing some classic establishments to close. But much of Kuala Lumpur’s rich culinary heritage remains strong, as chefs fiercely guard family recipes and crowds of loyal customers line up for beloved dishes.

From quintessential nasi lemak to icy chendol, dockside feasts to rice paddy picnics, here’s how to eat your way through the Malaysian capital.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Prices per person, excluding alcohol: $ = Less than 21 Malaysian ringgit (less than $5 USD) $$ = 21 - 42 Malaysian ringgit ($5 - $10 USD) $$$ = 46 - 84 Malaysian ringgit ($11 - $20 USD) $$$$ = More than 88 Malaysian ringgit ($21 USD and up)

Although he was born in Singapore, he spends 300 days a year living out of his Rimowa.

Ninja Kitchen

Among the rice paddies in the sleepy fishing village of Sekinchan, Ninja Kitchen is a unique home-based restaurant serving an omakase-style menu of seafood with Teochew influences. The owner, globally renowned photographer Heng Mok Zung, welcomes guests to his own beautiful house and begins the dining experience with a private tour before setting them up at a table outside. Traditional tiffin carriers (a reference to Zung’s Nyonya heritage) emerge bearing dishes like lightly salted shrimp garnished with garlic and chiles served in an ice bowl, or saito fish balls filled with minced pork and fried till the outer skin is a crispy golden brown. Diners also have the option to enjoy their meal as a picnic out by a rice paddy as the sun dips down over the horizon, conjuring a brilliant golden mosaic over the field. At the end of the picnic, each table can release a sky lantern. Don’t forget to make a wish (or a reservation). [$$$$]

Sekinchan Coconut Farm

Deep within the shade of a coconut plantation, this weekend food market is home to rows of makeshift stalls, where proprietors whip up street food and snacks such as nasi lemak, rojak, and a variety of coconut drinks. It makes a refreshing pit stop on a hot day, but watch out for rain; there’s no covered area to duck under if the clouds open up. [$]

Suang Le River Restaurant

The first thing that greets diners at Suang Le is the unmistakable smell of fish, followed by the sight of live seafood swimming in tanks that line the wooden floor of the restaurant. Suspended on a dock above swampy mangroves in a small fishing village in Kuala Selangor, the restaurant is mostly patronized by locals, and fishermen pull up to the jetty alongside the dining area every so often to unload their catch. Look out for kung pao stir-fried mantis prawns with chiles and bell peppers as well as clams cooked with bamboo shoots in an aromatic, slightly spicy ginger broth. [$$$]

Sungai Janggut Seafood Restaurant

Nestled along the banks of a river near the Malacca Strait, this hidden restaurant cooks up the freshest seafood with traditional Malaysian flavors. The menu includes such hits as stir-fried chile bamboo clams, lala clams cooked in a ginger broth, and fresh prawns cooked in curry and served in a coconut. Even better, go off-menu for the crayfish glass noodle soup, a once-popular dish of spicy crayfish cooked in aromatic curry with a dash of turmeric and served in a clay pot. [$$]

Batu 8 Kapar Seafood

The city center has enough good restaurants to fill a lifetime of eating, but take a gastronomic detour to the small suburb of Kapar for Batu 8 Kapar Seafood. Like many others, the restaurant serves a menu abundant with seafood in an open-air, hangar-like space. Unlike competitors, though, Batu 8 offers an excellent fish mantou: a patty of battered dory, fried to a beautiful golden brown and served in a fluffy Chinese steamed bun. The slightly sweet and salty delicacy is best enjoyed piping hot when the fish is crispiest. [$$]

Fruity Bakery & Café

This bakery serves a variety of pastries, but it is best known for its apple strudel. Based on a recipe said to have originated in Perth, Australia, the strudel comes out looking like a laminated hoagie with juicy chunks of apples and cream oozing out of a bun of flaky, caramelized puff pastry.

Seng Huat Bak Kut Teh

Instead of its formal name, diners fondly refer to this restaurant as “Under the Klang Bridge Bak Kut Teh,” referring to the nearby bridge commonly used as a landmark to find the place. It’s worth seeking out, too. Since 1979, the restaurant has been serving bak kut teh, a dish popular across Singapore and Malaysia in which pork ribs are cooked in a broth with such herbs as dong quai (aka “female ginseng”), star anise, and cinnamon, accompanied by a fragrant bowl of rice or you char kway (strips of fried dough). [$$]

Chong Kok Kopitiam

This traditional kopitiam has been serving local breakfast favorites through half a century and three generations. In the early days, it was a three-story operation, with a coffee shop on the ground floor, restaurant on the second, and hotel on top. Only the coffee shop remains today, but it still draws plenty of customers for roti bakar (toasted bread with homemade coconut jam), soft-boiled eggs, and aromatic coffee. [$$]

Regent Pandan Layer Cake Shop

In case the name didn’t give it away, the signature at this traditional bakery is the pandan layer cake, and it has been since the place opened in 1977. The cake consists of sheets of chiffon cake stacked in alternating layers with silky-smooth pandan jelly. The shop opens at 9:30 a.m., but there’s typically a long line snaking away from the shuttered doors long before then. Queue up if you want a shot at getting the cake before it gets swept off the shelf, though the yam or durian versions make good backups if you miss your shot. (Tip: You might want to bring an airtight container to contain the smell of that last one.) [$$]

Restoran Bubur Goreng

Many cultures, especially across Asia, turn to porridge for comfort on sick days. But that’s not the kind you’ll find at Bubur Goreng, where the rice porridge isn’t boiled but stir-fried with generous helpings of minced pork, yam cubes, dried prawns, and pork lard. Pair it with a refreshing bottle of Tiger beer. [$$]

Foo Foo Fine Desserts

Take a break from the city’s frenetic pace at this tranquil dessert shop. Tucked on a second floor, the space resembles a greenhouse with lots of plants and huge glass windows. It’s a serene spot for founders Jack Lua and Chong Kin Foo to delight diners with dishes that are elaborate both visually and gastronomically, such as apple strudel with black pepper mango ice cream — which arrives camouflaged as a dumpling — or the strawberry tart with balsamic vinegar ice cream. [$$$]

The Good Batch

Whether you’re an early riser ready for a hearty breakfast at 9 a.m. or you got a delayed start  after a late night out — only rolling out of bed when hunger pangs roused you for sustenance at 3 p.m. — head to the Good Batch. The homey cafe is renowned for its angmoh — a hearty all-day breakfast consisting of eggs, grilled turkey ham, chicken sausages, sauteed mushrooms, a generous amount of golden hand-cut potatoes, and toasted garlic bread — as well as its Norwegian, freshly smoked gravlax salmon topped with sweet onion confit and accompanied by runny poached eggs with homemade chipotle hollandaise. Don’t forget a selfie on your way out in front of the chic graffitied exterior, which often shows up on Instagram. [$$$]

Uncle Lim's Cafe

This cafe has been serving local dishes with light fusion twists since 2003, including its signature assam laksa, rice noodles cooked in a spicy fish broth and topped with sliced vegetables. For something a bit different, diners can get the dish with heartier spaghetti in place of rice noodles. [$]

1978 Cucur Udang

In 1978, the owners of this restaurant started operating out of a house in the quiet Kampung Cempaka neighborhood in Petaling Jaya, but after four decades of steady work, they finally upgraded to a kiosk in 2019. The shop serves its namesake prawn fritters, deep fried to a crispy golden brown on the exterior, yet soft and chewy inside. They’re best consumed immediately while still hot and crispy, paired with the accompanying homemade chili sauce. [$]

Village Park Restaurant

This restaurant is located in a corner of Damansara Uptown, which is known for its great food and gridlock traffic. Go for the famed nasi lemak. Along with the usual coconut rice, egg, sambal, and anchovies, the secret to this extraordinary rendition lies in the ayam goreng rempah, juicy deep-fried chicken seasoned with curry leaves, turmeric, lemongrass, and cumin, all beneath extra layers of crunchy batter mixed with spices. [$$]

Durian man ss2.

Face off with durian, the so-called king of fruits. “Like pungent, runny French cheese” is how the late chef Anthony Bourdain once described it. “Your breath will smell as if you’d been French-kissing your dead grandmother.” At the Durian Man, the fruit appears in various culinary forms, ranging from chocolate to mochi to burnt cheesecake. [$$]

Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee

At the southern end of Damansara Uptown, you’ll discover this restaurant famous for its hokkien mee. The dish is better known in Penang, where wheat-and-egg noodles come swimming in prawn-based broth with thin slices of pork. The variation here comes not in a bowl but on a plate, with heftier noodles braised in a thick, dark, sweet soy sauce, dotted with pieces of juicy, slightly charred pork lard that lend a hint of sweetness and a touch of smokiness. Don’t forget to try a plate of the crispy, juicy fried chicken wings. [$$]

Rojak Dan Cendol Din

For many, this food truck revives fond childhood memories of days spent battling blistering heat with icy bowls of chendol (green rice-flour jelly mixed in coconut milk with brown sugar syrup, red beans, and jackfruit or durian). If you need something a bit more substantial before your midday dessert, the truck also serves rojak, a refreshing salad of fresh fruit and vegetables, topped with a slightly spicy palm sugar sauce. The truck is situated along a dusty side road opposite a petrol station. Diners have the option to sit on scattered makeshift tables and plastic chairs (recommended, not only for the atmosphere but also so your chendol doesn’t melt) or have the food packed to go. [$]

Fancy a romantic and exclusive dinner with your loved ones? Chef Jean makes house calls with his romantic dinners and also offers to cook for guests in his own warm home, a quick 15-minute drive from downtown Kuala Lumpur. Originally from Toulouse, he has spent a decade cooking in Michelin-starred restaurants. By day, he runs online cooking classes and occasional fun-filled camps for children. By night, he serenades his way into the hearts of his diners with a heady mix of jovial personality and French-inspired dishes. [$$$$]

Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar

Barcelona-born David Caral worked with such chefs as Sergi Arola and Nobu Matsuhisa before making his way to Kuala Lumpur to become executive chef — and eventual owner — of Mercat Gastrobar. Since 2014, the restaurant has won over local diners by transporting them to the streets of Spain with dishes like estofado de cordero (lamb stew with truffled mashed potatoes) and fricandó de ternera (Catolonian beef stew with mushrooms). [$$$]

Ruyi & Lyn

If you’re exploring Kuala Lumpur on a tight schedule, head to Ruyi & Lyn. The Chinese restaurant serves fusion dishes with a local flair in a stylishly decorated banquet hall, and its signature bite-size Ruyi’s Sushi is a highlight for anyone pressed for time. The dish brings together on a platter the best of Malaysian street food, including nasi lemak (fragrant coconut rice with egg, sambal chili, and anchovies), Hainanese chicken rice, and mango sticky rice. [$$$$]

“Time, patience, real ingredients, and no shortcuts,” says Wong Thong Yee, the founder of Nya. These are the secrets to her fantastic Nyonya kueh, bite-size Malay desserts that include such must-tries as the chewy, fragrant tapioca kueh and the kaya (coconut jam), cooked over charcoal for six to eight hours to achieve its smooth texture and high viscosity. Her father, born on the outskirts of Malacca, insisted on traditional cooking methods; Yee learned the lesson well and still skips artificial coloring in favor of dyes extracted from garden-fresh ingredients like pandan leaves and blue pea flowers. Combined with gula melaka (brown sugar) and yam, the results are shades rarely seen outside art museums. [$$$]

Macarons by Madeleine

What started out as a part-time passion project creating personalized gifts blossomed into a full-time job for owner Madeleine Lew, who took the leap from the finance world into the food business in 2019. She popularized customized macarons in Malaysia, attracting fans with cute, hand-painted sweets in a variety of flavors, including vanilla, strawberry, and mango. There are fun options dressed for any occasion. [$$$]

Brickfields Char Kuey Teow

Char kuey teow — stir-fried rice noodles — are beloved in Malaysia. This stall in the Brickfields neighborhood (the city’s Little India) has earned its place among the city’s best, operating for three decades from a mobile stove located along a bustling road. Each plate consists of piping hot noodles served with generous amounts of pork lard, slices of Chinese sausage and fish cakes, fresh cockles and prawns, crunchy bean sprouts, a drizzle of garlic, and a dash of caramel-infused dark soy sauce. The hawker passionately tosses the ingredients together in a well-seasoned wok, which imparts a kiss of wok hei, the sweet-smoky flavor achieved from caramelization over immense heat. [$]

Restaurant Jin Xuan Hong Kong

From breakfast through lunch, groups of family and friends gather at Jin Xuan Hong Kong for springy shumai filled with succulent pork and topped with crab roe; crusty and flaky egg tarts; and other dim sum favorites. This central location acts as the hub for seven other outlets of the same chain across Kuala Lumpur. [$$$]

Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock Kopitiam

The founders of this kopitiam (coffee shop) hoped to reignite customers’ love for local food that’s served with traditional village ambiance: wooden benches, antique fixtures, and monotone family portraits, which make the space feel like entering a time warp. Out front, a sign in multiple languages explains that the shop is guided by the principle of muhibbah, meaning unity, or in this case inclusivity toward diverse aspects of Malaysian cuisine. The menu includes nasi lemak (which is of Indian and Malay origin), chee cheong fun (Chinese rice noodle rolls topped with warm sweet sauce and a downpour of sesame seeds), and roti jala (a lacy, net-like Malay pancake served with curry), all complemented by strong aromatic cups of coffee served in traditional floral kopitiam cups. [$$]

Old China Cafe

Immerse yourself in Malaysian heritage at this cafe. It’s located in a shophouse that dates to the early 1920s and has much of the original architecture intact — including its swinging doors, complete with wooden latches, straight out of an Old West saloon. Don’t let the rustic decorations distract you from the excellent lineup of Peranakan dishes, such as ayam buah keluak (chicken in tamarind sauce with buah keluak seeds) and ayam pongteh (chicken stew flavored with preserved bean paste). [$$$]

The Deceased

Thrill-seekers and cocktail drinkers will find plenty to love at the Deceased, a themed bar where every night is like Halloween. The eerie decor is based on Chinese mythology of the afterlife, with plenty of skulls (sometimes filled with nachos) and drinks in spooky glassware. Beneath the hokey decorations are serious cocktails with ingredients like chrysanthemum kombucha and Yakult. [$$$$]

This cafe is situated in a stark black building that dates to 1927, when it housed the wardens of the neighboring Pudu Jail. Despite the foreboding exterior, the building is home to aromatic cups of coffee and all-day breakfast fusion dishes served amid stylish, homey decor. Don’t forget to try the signature soft-shell crab burger. [$$$]

Wong Ah Wah Restaurant

Deep within the heart of the buzzing Jalan Alor night market, tables fill the street outside Wong Ah Wah and crowd beneath the covered patio. Both are good spots for people-watching while savoring saucy plates of barbecued chicken wings and platters of juicy chicken, beef, or mutton satay skewers. [$$]

Nasi Kandar Pelita

Three friends opened the original Pelita shop to serve Indian-Malay cuisine in Penang, but the business has grown over the years into a famed chain with an impressive 25 locations. Grab a plate and choose from a buffet of crunchy vegetables, curries (chicken, crab, prawn), ayam kandar (fried chicken marinated in curry seasoning), and sotong goreng tempura (squid generously dipped in batter, fried to a golden brown, and served with a slice of lime). The counter-service spot can get pretty crowded during peak hours, but the queue moves fairly quickly and the place is open 24 hours a day, so you can always stop by when the traffic’s a bit lighter. [$$]

Restoran Meng Kee Grill Fish

Just a stone’s throw down Jalan Alor from Wong Ah Wah, Restoran Meng Kee Grill Fish is a sight to behold. Sweating chefs stand in a row in front of woks, engulfed in clouds of steam and furiously and precisely tossing food into the air. The pans and spatulas clang in a metallic symphony as the chefs turn out crowd favorites like fried rice, oyster omelets, and spreads of fresh seafood. [$$]

Danji Dumpling

The magic at this roadside stand starts to unfold at 5 a.m. That’s when owner Lin Dan checks on her chicken broth, already simmering with potatoes — which lend a nice starchy texture — from the night before. She also prepares tender, juicy chunks of pork for dumplings, served deep fried or in soup. The only other dish available is an unctuous bowl of chewy noodles, slicked with sesame oil and enriched by dark soy sauce spiked with caramel. Both are made from recipes passed down through generations like closely guarded family heirlooms. [$]

Bar Trigona

“It is all about sustainability. We use everything and waste nothing,” says Julian Benjamin Brigget, Trigona’s assistant bar manager. Named for the stingless Trigona honeybee, the bar serves cocktails inspired by indigenous Malaysian culture and local ingredients such as pandan and bunga kantan (torch ginger). Raw honey, harvested from the Malaysian state of Pahang, takes center stage in drinks like the Honey Bloom (white rum, bunga kantan honey, lemon juice, elderflower, dry vermouth, and ginger ale). With its chic decor, luxurious vibe, and huge windows boasting sensational views of the sunset, Trigona makes a perfect spot for romantic dates and friends looking to turn up. It can get a little crowded on weekends, so make a reservation. [$$$$]

Taman Connaught Night Market

Every Wednesday as the sun sets, rows upon rows of stalls spring to life over a mile-long stretch of road, selling clothing, accessories, bags, handicrafts, and, of course, street food until midnight. Pre-pandemic, there were sometimes more than 700 stalls in attendance; these days, about half remain (though more are slowly returning). Still, it’s the biggest night market in the city, with a vast array of local favorites. Though individual stalls tend to come and go, you’ll likely find an endless list of local snacks, including rojak, chendol, cute multicolored steamed buns filled with chocolate or red beans, and an all-time-favorite: crispy deep-fried chicken doused in an extremely addictive salted egg yolk sauce. Set aside a minimum of two hours and an empty stomach. [$]

Super Kitchen Chili Pan Mee

This family-run restaurant has been serving bowls of chili pan mee since 2004 and has 10 locations throughout Malaysia and Singapore. Locals love the dish of wheat noodles topped with fried anchovies, minced meat, and chili. Pair your bowl with light snacks such as fried dumplings. [$]

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

Ask any local and they’ll tell you there’s no better remedy for a hot and humid day in Kuala Lumpur than a refreshing bowl of chendol (you’ll get the same answer, though by different names and spellings, in cities across Southeast Asia, where the street-side dessert is ubiquitous). Curls of green rice-flour jelly are submerged in coconut milk with brown sugar syrup, red beans, and either jackfruit or durian. Penang Road started out with humble beginnings in 1936 but has since grown into a chain with seven outlets across Malaysia. [$]

Auntie Lora Kopitiam

If you can’t make it to the neighboring state of Penang, this kopitiam serves homemade Penang prawn noodles (known fondly throughout Malaysia as har meen or heh mee depending on the dialect). Tender, juicy pork ribs are slow-cooked in prawn broth, then combined with rice vermicelli and thick yellow noodles. Fun fact: Although this dish is a famous Penang hawker food, it originated in Fujianese cuisine, which employs lots of braising, stewing, steaming, and boiling. [$$]

• Have a Taste of Malay Heritage Dishes at These 3 MICHELIN Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur

Celebrate Malaysian heritage and discover which MICHELIN restaurants in Kuala Lumpur serve these almost-forgotten Malay dishes.

heritage Kuala Lumpur Michelin Guide Iconic Dishes Malaysia

Malaysia's Malay heritage dishes are a vibrant representation of the country's rich culinary tapestry. The cuisine is renowned for its bold use of aromatic spices such as lemongrass, ginger, galangal, and turmeric, which lend distinct flavour profiles to the culture's cooking. There is also a ton of cultural significance attached to Malay heritage dishes. Heritage, as a whole, is not static; instead, heritage constantly evolves and lives on, with every generation breathing new life into it. As Malaysia continues to grow and embrace modernity, these dishes reflect the soul of the archipelago and encapsulate the country's rich history, traditions, and unwavering love for good food.

Rendang Tok Rendang Tok was brought to Malaysia by the Minangkabau settlers when they migrated to the Malay peninsula from West Sumatra, Indonesia. Its thicker and drier consistency sets Rendang Tok apart from other rendang variations. Daud shares more about the dish: "Rendang Tok is a meat dish that has been slow-cooked and then braised in coconut milk that has been seasoned with spices. The slow reduction of the sauce results in a concentrated, rich flavour profile, with the meat coated in a thick, caramelised sauce." The rendang paste is made with a combination of aromatic spices such as lemongrass, cumin, fennel, galangal, ginger, and turmeric. Its name signifies the dish's association with nobility, as Rendang Tok was traditionally served during royal banquets and special occasions.

Gulai Masak Lemak Gulai Masak Lemak has been a popular dish in Southeast Asia for centuries, with coconut milk being a staple ingredient used in traditional cooking. This dish was created as a way to preserve the various spices that were traded, which included turmeric, ginger, cumin, coriander, and cardamom. “The secret to making the Gulai Mesak Lemak is to have patience; allowing the ingredients to simmer and slowly cook in coconut milk, infusing the mixture of spices and chilli pepper. The result of which is a thick, golden curry,” explains Daud. "It is a dish that brings people together, as families and friends gather to savour its comforting and soul-nourishing qualities," he adds.

De. Wan 1958

Udang Masak Lemak Nyonya Nenas Originating from the Nyonya community in Malaysia, Udang Masak Lemak Nyonya Nenas is a cherished part of the Nyonya culinary heritage. This dish holds a special place in Wan's heart because it was one of the family recipes passed down from many generations to his late mother, Cik Ani. "Datuk Chef Wan's family has improvised the dish over time. He combined a secret spice mix paste as the backbone of this dish and employed fresh premium ingredients such as tiger prawns, premium-grade pineapples, and organic coconut milk. The paste will raise the flavour of the dish and create an aromatic note that complements all the other ingredients, " explains Ibrahim.

"We use a slow cooking method to achieve a rich, velvety texture in the broth. In order to add depth to the flavour, a good balance of spices is required," he adds. RELATED: 3 Different Types of Peranakans and Their Cuisines

Ikan Asam Pedas Translating to "Sour and Spicy Fish" in English, Ikan Asam Pedas is a symphony of tastes, balancing the tanginess of tamarind and the heat of chilli with aromatic spices. The origins of this dish can be traced primarily to the Malay communities in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Johor Bharu, whose coastal lifestyle played a crucial role in its development. Every state in Malaysia has its own localised version of Asam Pedas. "The difference between the Asam Pedas of northern Malaysia and southern Malaysia is the use of different tamarind types. Concentrated tamarind is more commonly used in the southern states, while asam gelugor (a type of tamarind) is more common in northern states," says Ibrahim. Suitable for every occasion, De. Wan 1958 's take on the dish is a balanced version of sour, spicy, and savoury goodness.

Pais Barramundi Pais is a Sundanese word that refers to cooking food wrapped in leaves. The origins of this meal are uncertain; however, it is thought to have been brought over by Sundanese immigrants who settled on Malaysian coastlines. "We use barramundi instead of river fish for this dish. The barramundi is mixed with spices, coconut, and chilli and then, it is wrapped in a leaf cooked over a charcoal fire to impart a unique flavour," explains Wong. This cooking method is notably popular in Pahang, Johor, and Terengganu. "We use daun lerek  (a type of leaf) for this dish. Some may use a more popular leaf, such as banana leaves, but daun lerek lends a unique aroma to the cuisine that is subtle yet necessary to a good pais ," Wong notes.

Food in Malaysia – Where and What to Eat and How Much It Costs

Malaysia is a foodie’s paradise. The food in Malaysia is delicious, inexpensive and diverse including Indian, Chinese, Malay, and international dishes along with an endless supply of street food. You can order anything from noodle soup or spicy Tom Yam to having traditional Indian food (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian) in a self-service restaurant. Everyone who visits loves the food in Malaysia and you will too.

10 Best local dishes to try

There are lots of different types to choose from. Nasi (rice) and noodles (mee) with meat are popular. Let’s take a look at what to eat in Malaysia and some of the local’s favourites.

1. Nasi Lemak

Nasi Lemak is rice boiled with coconut milk mixed with pandan leaves for fragrance. You typically eat the rice with sambal (a kind spicy sauce), a boiled egg, slices of cucumber and sometimes with fried chicken or rendang (spicy chunks of meat). A handful of peanuts and fried anchovies get sprinkled on the top too. Nasi Lemak is a famous food in Malaysia and often considered a national dish.

2. Roti Canai

Roti is type of fluffy Indian bread similar to pancakes. People usually eat roti with curry, and it rarely costs more than a few ringgits. Other types include roti susu and roti telur. The first is a sweet cooked with condensed milk while the second is fried with egg.

Rojak has a mixture of chopped fruit and dough served with other ingredients and can be either sweet or savoury. Some eat it as a snack and others for dessert.

4. Assam Laksa

If you like noodle soup, check out Assam laksa. Assam laksa consists of thick rice noodles and mackerel boiled in a mixture of lemongrass and ginger. Shrimp paste often comes as a side. You can find this in restaurants or as street food.

5. Satay (grilled meat on skewers)

Barbequed chicken, mutton or beef in the form of satay with sambal or peanut sauce is a typical kebab-like Malaysian street food. Different stalls have different styles. You pay per stick.

6. Char Kuey Teow

The dish is a type of flat fried noodles served with prawns, eggs, boiled bean sprouts and chives. Expect the noodles to be quite spicy.

7. Roasted Chicken Rice

Roasted chicken gets chopped into chunks of meat and bone. The rice is usually boiled in a chicken broth for taste. A thick soy sauce and slices of cucumber comes with the chopped chicken.

Lok Lok is one of the Malaysian delicacies you’ll see sold along the streets or in a buffet-style restaurant. This involves dipping raw or semi-cooked food into boiling flavoured soup for a few minutes until it’s cooked. Different cities have their own styles and flavours. Some are spicy; others aren’t.

9. Nasi Kandar - Rice with Curry

If you want a local food experience in Malaysia, head to one of the Indian restaurants. You’ll get a plate of either white rice or mildly flavoured rice, similar to briyani and the choice between a selection of curries and sides, which often includes chicken, mutton, prawns, curried eggs and vegetables. Everything is self-service. You get charged for what you eat. Penang is famous for Nasi Kandar.

10. Mixed rice buffet style

This dish is a plate of plain white rice with a 'buffet' selection of sides. Prices are based on the type of food you take. The more sides you have, the more you pay. Indian restaurants are often open 24/7 and only serve halal food. Chinese ones have 'economy' mixed rice and a selection of other non-Halal sides. You shouldn’t pay more than RM 10 ($2.50) for the economy mixed rice and no more than RM 20 ($5) in the Indian restaurants for a massive plate of food with two or three sides. If you want vegetarian food in Malaysia, you can find it at the self-service restaurants.

The five best local drinks to try

Drinking alcohol isn’t as readily available as other parts of SEA and a night out often ends up being expensive. You’ll rarely be able to have a beer with your meal unless you eat in a Chinese restaurant or food court. But, instead, this gives you the chance to sample some of the best Malaysian drinks including their version of iced tea and coffee.

1. Teh Tarik

Teh Tarik is one of Malaysia’s most famous drinks. The name translates to ‘pulled tea’ and refers to a black tea with condensed milk that’s quickly poured from one cup into another multiple times. Pouring cools the temperature and makes the top frothy. You can find this drink in most Indian shops. It should cost less than RM 3 ($0.70).

Teh ice is milky tea with ice. This is the second most popular drink in Malaysia after Teh Tarik, and you’ll often see people sipping it in Indian restaurants.

3. Neslo (often served with ice)

This drink is a combination of Nescafe (coffee) and milo. Milo is a popular chocolate drink in Malaysia. This drink is like the Cafe Mocha drink in the western or European countries. You can drink this hot or with ice.

4. Milo Dinosaur

Despite the unusual name, Milo Dinosaur is a famous drink in Malaysia. A double serving of Milo gets mixed with boiling water to give a very rich tasting drink.

5. Cendol (pronounced Chen-dol)

If you travel around Asia, you’ll notice some people with drinks that contain small, colourful jelly-like cubes at the bottom. This jelly is cendol, and the drink has a mixture of coconut milk and syrup to create a thick, sweet drink.

Food prices

The Malaysian food prices are inexpensive compared to western and other SEA standards. A meal at a local restaurant rarely costs more than a few dollars for a generous serving. If you eat with the locals in Kuala Lumpur, expect to pay no more than RM 10 ($3) for a simple dish, bowl of soup, or plate of fried rice or noodles. The Nasi Kandar and self-service restaurants are very affordable too with a huge plate of rice and sides rarely exceeding RM 20 ($6). Street food is even cheaper.

Some stalls serve Nasi Lemak for takeaway in either a polystyrene container or plastic bag for just a few ringgits (less than $1). Others have 'goreng-goreng', a mixture of deep fried dough snacks, for an equally inexpensive price.

The Indian Banana Leaf restaurants where the food comes on a banana leaf rather than a plate, often has a free flow of rice and sides. This type of food may cost around RM 20 ($5) per person depending on the restaurant and location. Western food in Malaysia is more expensive. Pizza, burgers and spaghetti would cost anywhere between RM 15 ($3.60) and RM 50+ ($12) with most prices towards the higher end of the spectrum.

Another type of food in Malaysia is steamboat. The concept is that you pay for a soup base and have a buffet of different types of food including meat, fish, prawns, squid, vegetables and tofu to cook in the boiling soup. Depending on the location, expect to pay up to RM 50 ($12) per person excluding drinks.

One thing worth mentioning in Malaysia is the price of food varies depending on your location. Sarawak has lower prices for the same portion compared to Kuala Lumpur. A meal is likely to come to less than RM 4 ($1) compared to RM 10 ($2.40). Prices in Sabah are on par with those in Kuala Lumpur. Penang has a reputation for producing some of the best Malaysian food, which you can enjoy in one of the many food courts.

Food security

Malaysian food is generally safe, although you may experience stomach problems in the first day or two. If you eat at the more expensive restaurants, the Malaysia food security will be very high, and you’re unlikely to experience any problems. These establishments often include the ones with an air-conditioned eating area.

Smaller local restaurants can be hit or miss, but generally won’t cause any problems. A typical Indian restaurant displays their food on the shelf near the entrance for customers to choose their own sides. Eating from here is perfect around lunchtime when they’re fresh. Though it may not be such a good idea later in the evening after being in the tropical heat for hours. The same is true for Chinese buffet-style restaurants.

Smaller street-side ones and street food can be more risky. More often than not, you’ll see them near a drain where they can pour the excess water and oil, which mean the area isn’t the most hygienic. Be cautious and use your own judgement as to whether the food will be OK to eat. If in doubt, don’t eat there.

Other things to mention are the spiciness and use of MSG. Many dishes come with chopped chillies in a small bowl with soy sauce. You have the choice to eat it with your meal. Indian curries often use chilli, and the same goes for the sauce on some of the other dishes in both Chinese and Indian restaurants. The use of MSG is very common for cooking in Malaysia, and those with allergies should take extra care.

Best restaurants to dine

Malaysian food culture is all about finding and enjoying a delicious meal regardless of the environment. This means many of the recommendations from Malaysians won’t be Michelin-Star restaurants but rather food courts or Mamaks.

Food courts

A food court is a large number of individual food stalls inside an open space giving you the freedom to choose from a selection of dishes. You tell the stall what you want, and they’ll bring the meal to your table where you then pay. Someone selling drinks will approach your table.

Mamak Stall (Indian Muslim restaurants)

The Mamaks’ have typical Indian halal food, and you can have Nasi Kandar, roti and other types of curry, meat and seafood here. This kind of restaurant is on almost every street in every city in Malaysia. Ask your hotel for a recommendation.

Jalan Alor in Bukit Bintang Area

Jalan Alor is a street lined with hawkers serving a variety of Malaysian food in the touristy area of Kuala Lumpur. Expect foreigner prices, especially aimed at the wealthy Arab tourists. Locals find the food here to be expensive, but you have a lot of choices including Malaysian, Arabic and western styles of dishes. The Arabic food, such as chicken mandi is worth the relatively high cost.

Street Food

Street food gets sold in most places and ranges a portion of Nasi Lemak to satay sticks. Pisang Goreng, or deep fried bananas, are always a delicious treat. Just use your intuition to assess the stall’s level of hygiene before you buy.

Learning to cook Malaysian food

Ask any tourist their favourite part of their trip, and many will mention the food in Malaysia. So, why not learn how to cook and bring a little bit of Malaysia back home with you at one of the following schools?

1. The Cooking House

The Cooking House in Kuala Lumpur teaches students how to prepare typical Malaysia dishes over the course of six weeks. Each weekly lesson lasts four hours and covers everything from steamed chicken to curries along with teaching you how to adapt meals to suit your tastes. Lessons cost RM 190.80 ($46) per lesson or RM 932.80 ($225) for the whole course. If you’re here on holiday, drop by and join a single lesson for a new experience. Otherwise, the class is geared more towards expats.

2. At 19 Culinary Studio

Culinary Studio in Kuala Lumpur offers lessons for people of all levels of abilities in a warm and friendly environment. The home kitchen provides the perfect setting to learn how to prepare dishes and meet other tourists, expats and locals in their small class. Everything from the basic concepts of Malaysian cuisine up to advanced techniques and seasoning get taught. Expect it to cost around RM 175 ($42) per person.

3. Private classes

If you don’t want to attend a school, there are other options available such as joining a private class with a local host. A typical lesson includes a trip to the market to buy fresh ingredients along with a detailed description of the cooking process. You’ll later learn how to cook in the host’s kitchen. Viator has a selection of workshops with prices starting from $30 per person.

The food in Malaysia is probably the highlight of visiting the country. A range of cuisines and styles are accessible in all cities, and Malaysia food prices tend to be very inexpensive. And if you love the food so much, why not join a cooking class and bring a small part of the experience back home?

THe SHIP RESTAURANT

"traditional steakhouse concept".

3 decades ago in Malaysia entrepreneurs were understandably hesitant of venturing into the western food restaurant business. They were still trying to wean themselves from the influences of their pre-independence colonial masters and to rediscover their local Asian values. Nevertheless, there were these young restauranteurs who believed that good food always crosses cultures and prejudices, and appeals to discerning consumers. Mr. Foo Hee Hoon, Mr. Foo Hee Loon and other partners almost single-handedly took on the formidable challenge to start The Ship restaurant (The Ship), opening at Jalan Sultan Ismail what was later to become one of the many more outlets all over Malaysia. Although it wasn't exactly smooth sailing all the way, there was never a doubt that its captain at the helm was steadily steering it towards sure success.

"Serving the finest cuts of meat"

Mr. Foo Hee Hoon and his equally talented wife together with their hand-picked chefs were on hand daily to serve up a wide variety of the tastiest western food from the choicest and freshest ingredients, which had patrons returning for more.

This eventually gained The Ship the reputation of serving The Best Steak In Town, which essentially was the great food, well served under a unique decorative setting and on top of that all prices are value for money.

The unique exterior of its restaurant resemble an almost life-size hull of a ship, and on stepping inside one will be impressed with the finely recreated likeness of a sea-going vessel.

"Located in

Of the city".

Complementing the theme is service provided by captains and crews in maritime uniform. Such is the attraction of The Ship that it is common for foreign visitors of the country to seek its whereabouts. The Ship has, by word of mouth, contributed in making Malaysia a popular tourist destination. This, too, is just another indication of The Ship sailing on to greater heights. If imitation is a form of  flattery, The Ship must be doing something right, because many others have since followed suit with western restaurants sprouting up everywhere.

In the face of growing competition, The Ship not only confidently hold on to its own premier position but has since expanded further with 5 more outlets at strategic locations, and more are being planned. More importantly, each of these outlets has proven a tremendous success story in its own right.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK AND HOW WE'RE DOING

Success! Message received.

"Steak perfection takes time"

Not one to rest on its laurels, the founder of The Ship's understanding of local consumers' preference has kept him ahead of competitors. The booming economy in the late 1980s contributed to Malaysia consumers expecting more than a good meal alone, so The Ship introduced live musical entertainment to its selected outlets, bringing in the concept of wine, dine and be entertained. Customers' response was nothing short of fantastic, and musical entertainment has since become a favourite, regular part of The Ship.

"Have a drink

At the bar".

The Ship foresees bright prospects in strengthening and expanding its thriving business, and plans are being carefully made by Mr. Foo and his capable managers to diversify into ventures synergistic with the core business. With the continued loyal support of its many customers, suppliers, management, staffs and friends, The Ship will not only be assured of its own success but will also contribute meaningfully to the success of The Nation's Vision 2020.

"THE BEST STEAK IN TOWN"

The Ship, with the reputation of serving The Best Steak In Town, was well served under a unique decorative setting and on top of that all prices are value for money. The unique exterior of our restaurants resemble an almost life-size hull of a ship, and on stepping inside one will be impressed with the timely recreated likeness of a sea-going vessel. Complementing the theme is service provided by captains and crews in maritime uniform. Such is the attraction of The Ship that it is common for foreign visitors of the country to seek its whereabouts. The Ship has, by word of mouth , contributed in making Malaysia a popular tourist destination.

TOURISM MALAYSIA UNVEILS STRATEGIC ROADMAP FOR VISIT MALAYSIA 2026

YB Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture delivering his mandate at the Tourism Malaysia Strategic Direction Towards VM2026 Networking Session

KUALA LUMPUR, 30 April 2024 – Tourism Malaysia had a prominent start on 30th April 2024 by organising a networking session with the industry players by presenting its strategic direction and action plans focussing on promoting Malaysia internationally and domestically. This direction and action plans were crafted during the engagement session with industry players to ensure the fast conversion and high impact programme and achieve the common goal in attracting 35.6 million tourists and generate RM147.1 billion in receipts for Visit Malaysia 2026.

The VM 2026 roadmap is built on three core strategies – creating demand, increasing traffic, and prioritising target markets. Key initiatives include branding and marketing blitz, strategic partnerships for joint promotions/tactical campaigns and market segmentation.

Malaysia's notable tourism achievements for the first quarter of 2024 are promising. During this period, from January to March, Malaysia saw a significant influx of foreign tourists, reaching 5.8 million arrivals. This marks a remarkable growth of 32.5% compared to the previous year's 4.3 million. The top ten markets contributing to this success were Singapore, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Brunei, India, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines.

Tourism Malaysia will continue to empower its branding through aggressive advertising campaigns, influencer marketing, and compelling content creation across digital (70%) and traditional (30%) media platforms. The agency will also establish strategic partnerships with airlines, online travel agents (OTAs), and land/sea border operators of neighbouring countries to enhance tourist arrivals.

Key target markets are prioritised into three tiers, led by first-level priorities such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia. The second-level priorities include South Korea, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the United Kingdom, followed by third-level priorities comprising Chinese Taipei and Germany. Apart from traditional markets such as Brunei, Thailand and Singapore, the focus is also highlighted on emerging markets like Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, tourism products and travel experiences will be tailored for niche segments like nature-based tourism, experiential tourism, medical & wellness tourism, responsible tourism, luxury, weddings, Muslim-friendly, gastronomy, and bleisure travel.

YB Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, said: "Our multipronged VM 2026 strategy provides a comprehensive framework to boost Malaysia's visibility, enhance destination accessibility and elevate our tourism offerings. Through focused efforts and strategic collaborations, we are confident of achieving our yearly arrivals and target receipts in the run-up to VM 2026."

Tourism Malaysia will continue engaging industry stakeholders and international partners to refine and execute the VM 2026 strategies, positioning Malaysia as a preferred tourist destination in this region.

About Tourism Malaysia

Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, also known as Tourism Malaysia, is an agency under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture Malaysia. It focuses on the specific task of promoting Malaysia as a preferred tourism destination. Since its inception, it has emerged as a major player in the international tourism scene.

Furthermore, Tourism Malaysia actively endorses the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT), working towards the realisation of the IMT-GT Visiting Year 2023-2025, with the shared aim of promoting the region as a unified tourism destination.

A restaurant owner in Tokyo, Japan recently claimed that a Malaysian tour company cancelled 25 orders of nasi lemak without warning.

The owner of Malay Asian Cuisine, Sou Tanaka, aired his grievances on Facebook and shared his side of the story.

Tanaka said the tour company called the restaurant to confirm whether the place could accommodate 25 people for lunch around 1.30pm.

Tanaka answered in the affirmative. It’s believed both parties had agreed on the price, menu, and time for the tour group to arrive.

However, the tour agent did not answer Tanaka’s call and WhatsApp message when it was near the agreed time.

When no one showed up, Tanaka said they had to throw away all 25 sets of nasi lemak and also lost potential businesses since they had turned away other guests to accommodate the large group.

Tanaka said the tour agency should have called in advance to cancel the booking if they could not make it.

He decided to spread the name of the tour agency to prevent others from falling victims to the same agency.

Netizens were disappointed by the way the Malaysian-based tour agency allegedly behaved and said it could tarnish the reputations of Malaysians abroad.

They urged Tanaka to report the matter to Malaysia’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture.

The tour agency responded

According to Kosmo, the tour agency caught wind of the news after someone informed them and they promptly shared what happened on their end.

Kampungstay Holiday Sdn Bhd (KH) said they contacted the restaurant around 11am to survey if the establishment could accommodate the whole group. They were surveying three potential restaurants to dine in since the group were mostly elderly people.

The tour agency said they did not confirm the booking with Tanaka’s restaurant. They claimed they told Tanaka that they would call the restaurant again if they wanted to confirm the booking.

After comparing three restaurants, KH said they chose to have lunch around Shibuya to keep movements limited and easy for the elderly group.

The tour agent said the phone was not on them because they were busy helping and monitoring the tour group to make sure no one was lost in the city.

When the tour agency found out that Tanaka made a post about them online, they immediately called him to resolve the matter.

We called the restaurant right away after an acquaintance told us a restaurant viralled the tour agency’s name. This is the chronology of the events. We apologise if we made a mistake.

Many opt for roti canai as budget stretched thin

Sharing signature roti canai in S’pore

A flip from the norm: Customers enjoying their meal as a roti canai maker flips more of the flatbread at a restaurant. — MUHAMAD SHAHRIL ROSLI/The Star

JOHOR BARU: More people seem to be turning to roti canai for lunch, especially in the city centre here, says a restaurant operators association.

Johor Indian Muslim Entrepreneurs Association secretary Hussein Ibrahim said 24-hour eateries or mamak restaurants used to only serve roti canai for breakfast as the operators wanted to focus on nasi kandar or mixed rice dishes during lunch hour.

“After the Covid-19 movement control order was implemented, there was an increase in customers requesting roti canai at lunchtime.

“So, our members are serving roti canai round the clock due to the rising demand.

“The customers said they prefer flat bread over mixed rice because it is much cheaper,” Hussein said.

He said customers would pay about RM5 for two pieces of roti kosong, priced between RM1.20 and RM1.50 each, and a drink.

“I believe the increased demand for roti canai is due to the customers wanting to save money. The dish is more affordable compared to a plate of mixed rice, which could cost around RM10 or RM12,” he said.

Hussein added that many customers would order roti canai for dinner as well.

Checks at several 24-hour eateries found that roti canai has become an increasingly popular option among the lunch crowd over the past few years.

A manager at one of the restaurants, who only wanted to be known as Rafi, said their customers favoured roti canai over other items such as nasi kandar due to the price difference.

“Because of this, we have cut down on the quantity of dishes we serve daily to prevent waste,” he added.

State health and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said the rising cost of living should not be an excuse for consumers to make unhealthy food choices.

“The Health Ministry also encourages the people to keep to a balanced diet or ‘suku-suku-separuh’ (quarter-quarter-half) or 3S dietary recommendation.

“This formula calls for a quarter of the meal to be carbohydrates, a quarter to be protein or meat, and half the plate to be filled with vegetables or fruit,” he said.

According to Ling, maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise can help prevent diseases and alleviate the strain on the already overcrowded public healthcare facilities.

He said most of the patients are those suffering from non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke, which were brought on by an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and alcohol and tobacco use, among others.
