Jonker Street Fried Rice Food was satisfactory for the price (RM25). Advisable to take LRT as parking is difficult.

For A New Take On Old Local Recipes Nearly two decades into their Malacca town business, Geographer Cafe makes its way into the heart of our city here in KL. The Jalan Tun HS Lee outpost is flanked by a pair of old-school red and blue lounge chairs out front, drawing intrigued locals and tourists in. The ground-floor cafe makes a cosy area, best suited for small groups to convene over modern local delights. The staff recommends their Spaghetti Goreng Highstreet (RM23), a value-for-money order that comes with chunks of fried chicken. The stir-fried spaghetti are slicked in sweet, savoury kicap manis, which lends to its bold, delicious flavours. Try also the side dish of Deep-Fried Calamari-mari with Garlic Aioli (RM19), a classic executed well enough to induce addictive munching. Beer buffs, mark this down — the bar is now running a month-long happy hour promo that gets you three bottles of Tiger Beer (RM14) for the price of two.

On Sundays, my coffee is recreational. As opposed to weekdays when it's medicinal 🖤 #jaotimkl #coffeesesh

Jao Tim A lovely place to spend the afternoon especially on the weekdays when it’s almost close to empty. No wifi but they did suggest to connect to the wifi from the shop downstairs. Jao Tim has a small selection of food, pies and sandwich. In frame: Grilled Cheese Sandwich (RM15). A combination of melted mozzarella, cheddar and paprika in toast, served with a side of salad. A little bit on the salty side, but good overall. Coffee (RM11) was good too with a sweet floral note.

Flat White (RM11) Beautiful, gold-accented space backed by walnut wooden furnishings. The distance between tables is an obvious plus, granting a lot of quiet and privacy. Though primarily an event space up for rent (from RM3k), the daily operations puts out a decent cuppa with beans from Kota Kemuning’s Brew & Bread. A range of cute craft beers, purportedly from Penang, are sold here too.

For Comfort Peranakan Fare Located within the PJ8 building's stately garden square, this hole-in-the-wall joint hopes to evoke the flavours of home at the workplace. Co-owner Cheah hails from Seremban and his Peranakan roots are to thank for the delicious Nyonya recipes reinvented here. Takeaways aren't only tasty, they're highly encouraged as there are only three (likely occupied) tables to vie for at lunchtime. Go for an order of Baked Stingray with Baba Kuat Pesto (RM15.90). Supple to the bite, the fish is glazed in a scrumptiously spicy sambal-like sauce that hits it off with rice (lots of it). From 11am to 2pm daily, the set comes with a quenching drink of lime, cucumber and tonic — plenty useful to take the heat off your tongue. Those with a palate for milder flavours might consider instead the fork-tender Turmeric Chicken (RM8.90), doused in fragrant yellow gravy. Individually packed desserts, sometimes a local kuih or chocolate cake, are available at the counter if you're one for sneaking in an after-meal sweet. Avg price per person: RM20

Turmeric Chicken RM8.90 | Baked Stingray With Baba Kuat Pesto (RM15.9) Any newbie that serves recipes inspired by familial traditions gets my tick of approval. For its location, lunch is affordable with nothing going beyond the RM20 mark. We had no complaints on the food here — fork-tender protein with flavours that hit all the right spots. Service is friendly but the space is tiny. So go early before the office crowd flock over.

Baked Stingray With Baba Kuat Pesto (RM15.90) Nice and simple fish dish for lunch! That resd hot pesto sambal packs a punch, and so calls for lots and lots of rice. Come for their down-to-earth Nyonya recipes over casual chats with the owners who will be happy to join you when they can.

For A Trendy Smokehouse Dinner This smokehouse and bar brings with its entrance to Bangsar a casual-meets-classy concept that fits the bill for both laidback lunches and fanciful dinners. Exuding trendy vibes, the restaurant features fine art pieces alongside its wood-and-steel decor, plus a soothing touch of greenery. Foodwise, expect the kitchen to fire up fine food at reasonable prices. Meats make a prime choice, like the Wicked Wagyu (RM79.90) that sees a delicious smoked wagyu inside skirt with potato puree and beef gravy. While simple in execution, the dish is satiating for all who can enjoy a nice piece of steak. Apart from meats, Rubs also turns out other mains not to be messed with. The Rice & Shine (RM36.90) is easily a standout for risotto, measuring up to those at Italian restaurants. Redolent of smoked duck meat, the moist rice dish is topped with a wobbly slow-cooked egg that adds to its lusciousness. There are also set lunches from only RM35.90, but we strongly advise you spend a little more for the full experience here — it will be worth it. Avg price per person: RM65

Wicked Wagyu (RM79.90) I'd be nitpicking if I said this wasn't good. Flavours were spot-on — smoky, saltish and subtle. The smoked Wagyu skirt was cut just thin enough to give it a pleasant bite, save from chewy. Description says that's a cheesy potato puree underneath but it was mostly a regular mash I tasted. Still good as any! Also enjoyed the incredibly good Rice & Shine (RM36.90), risotto with smoked duck. Highly recommended!

For Sunny Afternoon Cendol Parked by the market food court, Mustaffa's truck is a familar sighting to all of Section 17. Burpplers working nearby, zero in on this sunny afternoon stopover for rojak and cendol. Blanketed in a delicious, nutty gravy, the Rojak (from 4.50) replete with crunchy chopped fritters, hard-boiled egg and julienned cucumbers, make a great teatime snack to share. Otherwise, its mid-sized portion also passes it off as a decent light lunch. Whether you're having your bite to go or savouring it on the spot, don't forget to get an order of Cendol (from RM1.20) too! The small bowlful of plump green cendol jelly and shaved ice steeped in coconut milk and palm sugar nails a delightfully refreshing level of sweetness. Avg price per person: RM5 Photo by Burppler Cindy Chen

Ali Cendol (RM2-3) Try as they may, businesses operating out of shops can't replicate the authenticity of both taste and experience of a road side cendol truck. Ali Cendol is not without a loyal following. It has parked here (with its partner in roadside crime, Rojak Mustaffa) next to the Seksyen 17 Market for as long as any local can remember. The cendol was very good, the cendol itself had great texture, had a good balance of coconut milk and gula melaka, and it was not too sweet. Small RM2.00; Large RM2.50; + pulut (glutinous rice) for RM0.50 If I had to nitpick, I'd say I found it ever so slightly watery. Another comment by my friend was: "Who the heck puts cincau in cendol? Don't try to be pretentious." 😂 It's difficult when all cendols are compared to the one in SS15 Subang Jaya. But hey, if I'm in the Seksyen 17 area - I'd still come back. 👍🏼

For Great Rojak Located on the side of the road and operating out of two vans parked side by side, this place makes for a rustic, simple dining experience. After a plate of mamak-style rojak, head to the van beside for a refreshing and welcoming bowl of cendol. What makes the cendol so good is the generous portion of ingredients, and their finely shaved ice. A perfect treat on a scorching day!

Pineapple Fried Rice (RM6.50) For a Big it would cost you RM7 which is only 50 sens more! Their Pineapple Fried Rice was flavourful and hot! I just love how their pineapples are sweet and juicy. Yum! If you don't like or can't take seafood (prawns), you could always substitute it for chicken.

For Delightful Char Kuey Teow Spacious kopitiam Say Huat is laden with all-day hawker options but if you're a regular or an informed Burppler, the choice is a cinch — head straight for star stall Robert's Char Kuey Teow. Hardy hawker Robert dishes out a delectable rendition of the Penang favourite, and speaks fluent English too (a strong plus for the younger crowd). An order of Char Kuey Teow (RM7) sports plenty of prawns, lap cheong (waxed sausages) and cockles, whipped together with thin flat rice noodles and flavour-packed pork lard. This is also one of the rare stalls that open for long hours( (from 11am - 10pm), so either whizz over on your lunch break or grab a quick dinner here after work. We recommend the latter for a more enjoyable experience, since the chef often has his hands full during the lunch rush. Avg price per person: RM15 Photo by Burppler Anna Wong

macam macam ada.. can find mostly penang food here.. har mee, ckt, rojak, loh mee, ais kacang, etc..

For A Chicken Char Siew Feast Choon Yien takes up two lots in Section 17's Happy Mansion and yet, seats fill up fast come lunch hour. The crowds are here for their Roasted Chicken (from RM7), which is what you should come for. The smooth, fleshy chicken gleams with perfectly browned skin and a sprinkling of fried garlic that adds a delicious dimension to the dish. Beneath the chicken lies a bed of beansprouts, imbued in soy sauce. Save this spot for a long lunch break with your colleagues because it's bound to end up a full-on feast. We say that with knowledge of Choon Yien's also stellar Char Siew (from RM7), sporting well-rounded layers of flesh and fat as well as a smoky char on the edges. Get also the Kai Lan (RM5), doused in the same garlicky soy sauce as the chicken. Ordering is easy — simply let the helper know how many of you are dining and she'll portion meats accordingly, alongside seasoned rice and soup for each of you. Avg price per person: RM15

Chicken Rice (from RM7) A delightful chicken rice experience, from that fluffy, oiled rice to the smooth chicken flesh covered in a thin, flavourful layer of roasted chicken skin. The addition of fried garlic does it for me, shaking up flavour and texture where it goes. There’s also beansprouts beneath, in case you missed out on getting greens, which by the way, was also crunchy and delicious. A soup of the day is served along every order of rice and while it tastes quite MSG-laden, the piping hot bowl does help warm the meal along the way.
