A lovely vegan dining experience, but with very insecure service staff: Restaurant KUKI Vegan (14. July 2026)
The Kuki Vegan is a restaurant, which specialises in vegan dishes inspired by the Japanese cuisine and seems to be the first of its kind in KL. That being said, judging by how empty the place was, I’m not sure vegan dining has fully arrived to KL just yet. In any case, once seated, I […]
A restaurant chain with decent food, but not much more: Restaurant De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan @ The Linc (13. July 2026)
I have seen a few outlets of the De.Wan 1985 by Chef Wan all over KL before finally entering one. And only because The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur had recommended this place for the evening, so, off we go! Once you’re seated, they offer you some “rempeye”, which is a kind of a cracker with […]
Another Michelin star in KL where the toilet is in the public area: Restaurant Beta KL (12. July 2026)
The Beta KL is one of the 1-Michelin starred restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and the second in a row. That being said, until you’ve found it, it doesn’t necessarily come across as an area where you would expect to find a restaurant with a Michelin star. However, once you finally reach the entrance, it does […]
Another good location for an afternoon break with the signature Bloody Mary: Crystal Bar @ The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur (13. July 2026)
As a welcome drink, you’re offered a few vouchers, and you can cash them in the Crystal Bar, which is well-hidden and is, in fact, their pool bar. But in the late afternoon, it’s also the perfect spot to chill out and get an “Asam Boi Marry (2015) (Asam Boi-infused vodka, tomato juice, calamansi, sarawak black […]
Perfect for a quick lunch if you’re into seafood and noodles: Restaurant Lai Foong Lala Noodles (13. July 2026)
There is a variety of different noodle places all over KL, and the Lai Foong Lala Noodles is one of two places, which are in the Guide Michelin, so, this was the perfect pick for a quick lunch stop. Once you’re seated, you get to order via a QR code and don’t need to wait […]
The perfect place to try their own local signature Bloody Mary: Astor Bar @ The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur (11. July 2026)
Returning to the Astor Bar is a nice experience as the staff is superbly professional, friendly, and attentive. I decided to have the “Asam Boi Marry (2015) (Asam Boi-infused vodka, tomato juice, calamansi, sarawak black pepper, paprika, chili padi & tabasco)” (75 MYR) again and I must say that it wasn’t any better or worse […]
An absolutely outstanding and unique experience – on its way to the second Michelin star: Restaurant Akar (11. July 2026)
The Akar is located a little bit outside the city center, but easier to reach as there is less traffic in that direction. Once you enter the premise, you’re seeing the kitchen as a first component and a small display of the ingredients, which are used for their menu, which is always nice to see. […]
An amazing selection of items from their breakfast menu: Restaurant The Brasserie @ The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur (11. – 15. July 2026)
Given I’ve already reviewed the buffet, I decided to focus on the other components you can order from their breakfast menu (and are part of the breakfast). Firstly, I went for the “Canadian lobster with eggs (served with scrambled eggs on brioche with boom grow salad leaves)”, which was an absolutely lovely breakfast option. The […]
