Central Asia Restaurant
If you fancy something different, why not try this Uzbek restaurant - great flavours at an affordable price point and conveniently located in the centre of the city. It's also available to order on Grab - the food delivery app!
Location: Jalan Yap Kwan Seng

Review: We ordered the beef noodle soup, traditional Uzbek rice dish also known as plov, somsa – pastry filled with mince meat and horse meat sausage covered with puff pastry. The highlight was the plov – the sweetness from the raisins and carrots combined with the fattiness from the meat – absolutely delicious!

NZ Curry House
Location: Jalan Ampang
Price: £
Review: We ordered nasi goreng (fried rice), roti canai (soft flaky break) with curry, dosa (large thin, savoury crepe) and topped it off with teh tarik (‘pulled’ tea) – a drink iconic to Malaysia and the region which you can have hot and cold.

Five Guys - Pavilion Mall
Location: Bukit Bintang
Price: £££
Review: A worldwide chain which had been on our list to try and with the favourable exchange rates (MYR v GBP) we couldn’t give it a miss. A decent smash burger, accompanied by fries and the Five Guys infamous strawberry milkshake – very indulgent but expected!

Nasi Kandar Pelita
Location: Jalan Ampang
Price: £
Review: A canteen style restaurant which makes a great option for breakfast to fuel up for the day, conveniently located in the centre of the city. We tried the murtabak and roti canai with a selection of curries as well as some fried chicken and fish as recommended by one of the members of staff. We also teh tarik – a staple especially at breakfast which finished the meal off perfectly.

My Burger Lab
Location: Bangsar (this branch is now permanently closed but there are few more branches across KL and can be ordered online for delivery)
Price: ££
Review: We were drawn to this restaurant’s unique flavours on offer and it didn’t disappoint. We tried the salted egg yolk burger (chicken) and the Chuck Norris (Angus Cheeseburger with shredded BBQ Beef Brisket) with fries.

Toast Box
Location: Jalan Yap Kwan Seng
Price: £
Review: A Singaporean chain which has branches dotted around Kuala Lumpur. Another great option for breakfast – offering an array of bakery items, kaya toast (a must try when in Malaysia) and nasi lemak which we had to try. They are also known for their Nanyang style Kopi (coffee) which we also ordered – a great way to start the day with a caffeine boost.
