For Modern Western
Hit up this modern Western spot in Sunset Way for Torched, hidden inside a coffee shop. Burppler Miss Ha ~ praised "their thick, juicy, no frills beef patty highly. It was always chargrilled perfectly, exuding the smokiness yet retaining the juiciness of the meat." Other community favourites include the Salmon Mentai Bowl ($12), Fish Burger ($10), and Signature Honey Soy Chicken ($9).

For KL Chilli Pan Mee
Chilli Pan Mee is a classic comfort food from Kuala Lumpur, and this Chilli Pan Mee store located in Kovan is a must-try! A small bowl of Chilli Pan Mee ($4.80) includes noodles served with poached egg, fried garlic and shallots, ikan billis, minced meat, and chilli, while the big bowl ($7.80) comes with additional chicken cutlet. However, if you have low spice tolerance, we recommend not to mix all the chilli with the noodles as it can get pretty spicy!

For Cantonese Roasts
Calling all roasted meat fans! If you haven't already tried 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat, you're due for a visit. Enjoy succulent Cantonese roasts with rice or noodles (from $4.50) - Burppler Terence Ong calls it his "ideal type of char siew. A caramelised charred exterior with a tinge of sweetness from the marinade. I’m a great fan of fatty char siew and the fat to meat ratio is perfect. "
