Damansara Uptown is drawing diverse new dessert parlours - the one with the most buzz is Miru, a friendly stop that serves satisfyingly thick Shibuya-style honey toasts.
This family-founded outlet has become popular for halal Malaysian Chinese dai chow-style fare, inspired by its owners' hopes of offering everything from Marmite chicken to kung po cuttlefish & kam heong crabs for customers of every ethnicity to enjoy.
Sambal Chilli spices up Atria's F&B landscape with classic fare that's been fine-tuned by a Malaysian family with many years of experience in serving Nyonya cuisine.
Shinjiro is an interesting new addition to Tropicana City Mall, serving izakaya-inspired fare with several adventurous twists.
A new venue by the New Zealanders behind KL's Antipodean cafes, Delirium is certain to attract an outpouring of attention in the months ahead.
Hacha Mecha is a stylish sanctum for modern Japanese fare with international inflections.
Ten Years brings together a bounty of Malaysian street food in one colourful outlet, serving cherished recipes collected from respected stall owners & restaurateurs from across the country.
Singapore's Pince & Pints - one of the city-state's biggest F&B smashes of the past year - is counting on a new legion of lobster lovers to claw their way to its first foreign spin-off in Kuala Lumpur.
Xiao Lao Wang has nurtured a following of loyal fans who've adored this hotpot specialist ever since its early days in Sungai Buloh; this year, the restaurant moved to Damansara Uptown, remaining a terrific destination for gatherings of family & friends.
Moobaan Thai offers a promising mix of crowd-pleasing classics, with a kitchen helmed by a chef from Chiang Rai.
Meja Kitchen + Bar is the first restaurant to be fully opened at TREC, KL's much-touted new F&B-lifestyle enclave.
Terrific Thai temptations that tickle the taste buds & linger in the memory - Rak Somtam is well worth the trip to Kota Damansara, helmed by a Malaysian restaurateur & his Thai wife, with a kitchen crew that hails largely from north of our border.
At Sion, the setting is seductively elegant & the cooking is singularly engaging.
