My favorite brunch places

My go-to brunch or lunch spot, both popular and unpopular!
ICC Pudu is a traditional Chinese wet market, it was relocated from Jalan Imbi to a proper building. In here you can access to many historical local chinese food, such as Chee Cheong Fun, Fried Nian Gao, Pan Mee, Local white kopi and many other delights. Best time to visit for breakfast or brunch.

Dinner spot

An underrated place to dine (local fusion cuisine) & chill while enjoy a KLCC night scene from the restaurant. They offer affordable set lunch too!

Beauty station

A salon that don't cut or dye your hair. I would say this is a great pick me up beauty station, blow dry bar to go before attending your day/ night out with your loved ones. Or just purely drop by for some relaxing hair wash!

Food scene

The OG of chili pan mee, this is the home branch. It's like KL style of dry udon, add chili flakes at your own risk (it's hot!)

Modernised local coffee shop (aka Kopitiam) with over 100 years history nearby Petaling Street. Try their signature kaya roll, pair it with a cup of local "kopi" or "teh" for the perfect afternoon tea.

Probably the one and only "mamak stall" with twin towers view. Order "roti tissue" and snap the standing pancake with the iconic skyscraper tower.

Michelin Guide 2023. Just hop on MRT line 2, stop at TRX then take a short walk to this restaurant. Perfect place to get a hearty bowl of porridge or noodle with loaded seafood. Everything is fresh here.
