Pack a hearty and adventurous appetite, as KL’s dining scene is back up and running. The big city is teeming with nyonya-spiced delights that do no favours to the waistband, plus plenty of plant-based delights suited to veggie-lovers. Consider your weekends sorted with five of our favourite brunch spots in Kuala Lumpur:
Named after the owner's own furry friend, a community cafe for local nyonya faves, peddling artisanal twists like ice-cream Sambal. Then by night, it's a tomahawk grilling steakhouse with sides of fiery Char Kway Teow. Don't forget to ask and get Tuak-tail's from Borneo. Yes, please.
