KevinThere are many Malaysian snack bars in the cafe, and they even have Thai pineapple rice. It is a diversified restaurant and is very good for afternoon tea. The fried prawns are especially delicious.

38. Wong Ah Wah Restaurant

No.5 of Must-Visit Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur

没有蜡ollingHuang Yahua Snack Shop on Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur is a restaurant that has been open for a long time and is somewhat famous. However, I have never eaten there before when I came to Kuala Lumpur. This time, I saw it late at night on Jalan Alor and ate at the door. The charcoal grilled chicken wings are said to be the earliest famous online celebrity style of the restaurant. The taste is okay. The other dishes are also very delicious. Sitting at the door late at night, enjoying the breeze and drinking cold beer, slowing down the pace, is one of the reasons why I love Southeast Asia. However, I later met Brother Xixin in Kuala Lumpur, and he told me that this restaurant is too expensive in the eyes of local Chinese, and many people say that it is "bullying customers with its size". But in fact, my crazy brother and I think that the price is still cheap compared to China.

39. Yuzu The Gardens

KevinA Japanese seafood restaurant with a Chinese name. The oysters there are very good, super fresh, and can be eaten with lemon juice. The grilled squid is a bit old, maybe it is a different variety.

40. FATTY BAK KUT TEH & FISH HEAD

No.7 of Local Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur

€5Southeast AsianOpen LatePrime location

Boye1This is a time-honored Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Mid Valley. The pig's feet and pork offal can be made into Bak Kut Teh. You must order the fried dough sticks, which are delicious in the soup. The fish in black bean sauce tastes great.

Honey 甜This high-end restaurant not only provides delicious food, but also a palace where you can appreciate art and life. The elegant retro decoration, coupled with impeccable service, makes every diner feel the noble treatment like an aristocrat. It must be full marks 💯

42. Hokkaido Seafood Restaurant

One of the Top Must-Visit Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur

€23HalalOpen LateCelebrity style

Crumpled NomadDon't let the name fool you—this isn't a Japanese restaurant, but rather a solid Malaysian Chinese seafood spot serving up fresh catches in a no-frills kopitiam setting. The "Hokkaido" might be misleading, but the quality of the seafood is no joke. What to order:- Butter prawns – Crispy, aromatic, and packed with flavor - Steamed fish – Market-fresh, cooked just right with soy and ginger - Kam heong crab – A Malaysian classic, fragrant with curry leaves and spices - Stir-fried clams – Wok-fried to perfection with a spicy kick The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, especially given the freshness of the ingredients. Service is typical of a coffee shop—fast and no-nonsense. The setting is basic (plastic chairs, fluorescent lighting), but that just adds to the authentic local experience. Perfect for:- Casual seafood cravings - Late-night suppers (they stay open late) - Groups who want to share multiple dishes Rating: 4/5 – Don’t expect fancy plating or ambiance, but if you’re after fresh, well-cooked Chinese-style seafood at fair prices, this place hits the spot.

43. Sushi Zanmai NU Sentral

Boye1Badaling is also a very famous Japanese restaurant, the sashimi there is very delicious, the fried chicken is very tender, the salmon head is very delicious, very flavorful, and has a lot of fish head meat.

Boye1A more authentic British-style Malaysian restaurant. The cakes there are very good, frozen, with thick cream. The coffee ice cream tea is great. The Malaysian roast chicken rice is very cost-effective.

45. Qureshi

KevinIt is a high-end Indian restaurant. The soup vessel is made of pure silver, which is very comfortable to look at. The pumpkin salad is also very good. There is also Indian tea, which is quite fragrant and has a slightly sweet aftertaste.
