Breakfast at Merchant’s Lane
Hidden behind a weathered blue door in Chinatown, Merchant’s Lane feels like stepping into another time.
Sunlight spills across cracked walls and rattan chairs as locals sip their first coffee of the day. The menu is a delicious fusion from pandan pancakes to chicken rendang pasta.
It’s where KL wakes up full of heart.

Lunch at LOKL Coffee Co
In the quiet shade of Jalan Tun HS Lee, LOKL serves comfort with a modern twist.
Think sambal-infused grilled cheese, hearty big breakfasts, and nasi lemak that makes time slow down. The vibe is laid-back, but the flavours are bold just like the city itself.
Perfect for a mid-day pause between discovery.

Tea at Tea Thambi
Tea Thambi brings South Indian warmth to the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Here, tea is not just a drink, it’s a ritual.
Watch the signature and affordable masala tarik rise and fall in a graceful pour, frothing into perfection.
Pair it with crispy vadai or sweet appam, and let the golden hour slip by in comfort and conversation.

Dinner at LaGula by The Hungry Tapir
As the city lights up, LaGula by The Hungry Tapir invites you into a world of plant-based indulgence.
Once a colonial shopfront, now a pastel-hued dream, it reimagines Malaysian comfort food with flair from smoky Mama's satay skewers to coconut-rich laksa. Every dish is bold, beautiful, and guilt-free, proving that heritage can evolve without losing flavour.
A Sip at Concubine KL
When night falls, Concubine comes alive with insta-worthy neon lights, laughter, and music echoing through old Chinatown walls.
Sip on cocktails inspired by local legends and nibble on small plates bursting with Malaysian flair. Here, stories are shared over spice and spirit, and every corner hums with the city’s after-dark rhythm.
