1. MADAM KWAN'S

没有蜡ollingIt was founded by the founder of the once most popular Sakura Restaurant. This restaurant has now become one of the best places to taste Malaysian food. The owner is the 80-year-old Peranakan sister Guan, and her signature dish is her secret nasi lemak. In addition, authentic foods such as fried kway teow, satay, rojak, curry noodles, etc. can also be tasted in this restaurant. Today, my sister's first proper meal!

没有蜡ollingA Malaysian restaurant - it has branches in KLCC and Pavilion. The KLCC store is relatively crowded, and you have to queue up to get a number and wait for a table at meal time. I ordered curry salad, and the soup base was delicious. I drew a hand-painted picture based on the menu, and the restaurant's mission.

没有蜡ollingHainanese chicken rice is pretty good. Today's pink soup is a bit greasy, but the service attitude is very good. I took it down and made another one immediately. Thumbs up! Malay fried tofu and bread curry chicken are delicious. I didn't expect to come to the right place [hehe]

M18***41We were staying upstairs at THERED, and this was our last meal before leaving. We'd previously eaten at a Malay place, but perhaps the fried and spicy food wasn't to my Chinese palate, so this place was pretty good. It was a little after noon, and after a short wait, we were there. The two meals cost around 50 RMB via Alipay. The last three pictures are from a restaurant with a lot of Malays (around 80 RMB). I wasn't used to the food, but there were still a lot of locals. A Cantonese friend who couldn't even handle Cantonese spicy food was passing by, haha.
