Hip Kuala Lumpur Hangouts

Located at the trendy APW Bangsar, Proof offers really good pizza made from wood-fire ovens. Order the Margherita for something classic, Diavola for meat lovers & Umbrian black truffle pizza for an intense cheese experience. Pair your pizza with wines from the affordable menu. We really enjoyed our night here!

The siew yuk at Wong Mei Kee is made of dreams. That, and bossman Datuk Robert's years of experience. Bring friends, family or even colleagues (anyone will enjoy it) — just make sure they're a patient bunch because the legendary dish warrants a long wait. The thick strips of Siew Yuk (from RM17) here glisten with three luscious layers: a golden-brown crackling skin, melt-in-your-mouth fat and tender lean meat. Arrive early and secure a seat in anticipation of this crowd-favourite, which only hits the chopping board at 12.30pm. To make your visit all the more worthwhile, order the low-key but also delicious Roast Chicken (from RM25).
Avg price per person: RM25

Three reasons why I like this place:

1. It’s a one-(wo)man run pizza shop
2. Fresh doughs are ‘proof’ed for two days before being wood-fired so you know it’s gon’ be good
3. Proof is committed to using fresh produce daily, and offers both traditional options as well as some pretty inventive takes on ol’ school pizza
4. Wine, great tunes, pizza

Okay those are 4 reasons, but this new kid on the block will defo knock your socks off. My pick is the trusty 8” classic margherita, with house blend tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil and cherry tomatoes (RM19) so you really should be ordering that. But if you’re feeling adventurous, the Umbrian Black Truffle Pizza (8”, RM32) with mixed mushrooms, black truffle paste and taleggio is a seriously good pizza too. There’s no holding back on the truffle and cheese in this pizza. Finally, something tasty at APW’s Paper Plates.

This is one refreshing, tasty and filling sandwich. I enjoyed the good servings of pulled crab meat and succulent prawns. Their version of mainly mayo sauce really enhances the sweetness of the meat. Best to go with a cup of flat white. The spacious and naturally well-lighted surroundings make this place good for meetings, thoughts and work.

Located in Taman Wangsa Permai Kepong near KIP parking is horrendous, food is fabulous and price is reasonable. Wide selection of good food, highly recommend to eat there. There open for lunch & dinner, closed on Wednesdays.

The place was fully packed with diners with some still on the list waiting for empty seats. Frisky Goat is a typical hipster designed cafe, decorated with everything that looks nice then mashed into one place without any clear direction.

I was recommended the Loaded Omelette (RM18.90 exclusive of GST and service charge), so I did had one. It is a huge omelette, half the size of the plate, with diced tomatoes, onions, mushroom, generous amount of mozzarella and parmesan cheese and my choice of beef bacon.

The omelette was indeed buttery and fluffy even though I still feel some air pockets inside the omelette. But nevermind, because I like the mushroom aftertaste in every bite that I had. I can strongly tasted the parmesan cheese and the gooey mozzarella cheese when I cut out my omelette onto my buttered toast! The salad was okay, but a light vinaigrette would make it even nicer!

This omelette is truly loaded with butter, cheese, and happiness!

Rich, bright, yet light laksa broth to brighten the day immediately. Finish it off with cup of quality Teh Terik. The perfect comfort food combo.

Yummy! I like how the open sandwich is presented, compared to some cafes that just serves a plain Gardenia bread. Well for a light meal, this is definitely worthy 😊

Located in Taman Paramount, the cafe has an old-skol local vibe which sets it apart from many. From tables to chairs and deco, you can feel like you've gone back to time, reminiscing the days before mobile gadgets take over our lives 😁 this place is like being in a kopitiam, but for urbanites. Coffee was alright, quite floral but kinda milky.

Troika Sky Dining has made itself known for its commendable service and and dining experience, this trip certainly did not let that reputation crumble at the slightest grain. The ambiance was a gasconade of romanticism, utilizing minimal to dim lighting, allowing the lights of the KL skyline flow throughout the area. We started off with the Fuego Guacamole served with baked lotus and beetroot chips, the torched salmon ceviche, the grilled pine mushrooms and the soft shell crab as nachos. Each boasting a flavorful semblance, hitting the necessary marks but nothing over the top. Each starter ranging from MYR20-35++ mark, but as portions are traditionally tapas sized, do not except a fulfilling meal on starters alone. Proceeding to the rare French beef flank, embossed with a peaty whiskey salt rub with a hint of yuzu, served alongside a bowl of black pepper sauce. The generous 500g serving at its tender glory, a MYR 125++ does the seemingly steep pricing all the paramount justice. Ending the contentment of our meal up to this point with the berries pavlova, pouring a flaming brandy concoction over the pavlova dome, not only did this prove to be an aesthetic appeal but one to the tongue as well. Digging deep to the bottom of vanilla Chantilly and macerated berries, the light hearted dessert wrapped up our meal at a MYR35++. As Fuego is an outdoor rooftop with a limited seating area, it's best to make your reservations for tables close to the balcony and the best view of Kuala Lumpur for the utmost noteworthy dining experience.

*repost* New spot for Japanese food - ranging from dessert, bakery, sashimi, sushi & fried/hot cooked food😍. Will visit again for their Japanese food.

Some remarks:
1) limited parking space available
2) insufficient natural lighting ard bar typed dining tables
3) coffee served in paper cups
