Kuala Lumpur Restaurant Tips by kphstar

Restaurant Name: Chynna, Hilton Hotel KL

Authentic, innovative Cantonese delicacies mixed with a touch of Shanghai theatrics --- there's a dash of drama and flair in everything. Feature an open dim sum kitchen and bar, even offer a unique selection of traditional herbal cooking specialities to rejuvenate the ''chi''. Start your meal with long-spout tea poured and refilled at every table.

This is a must restaurant for all to visit. For the interior facade to the excellent service, you'll be highly impress. It is a bit more pricy, but it's worth every cents.

Restaurant Name: La Bodega

The lounge is situated above La Bodega restaurant and bar. It's dimly lit with a great relaxing ambience. As you recline back into one of many lounge chairs you are greeted with an array of fabulous black and white photograghies. And with a certain amount of amazement you will soon notice that some of these shots are of semi naked people. Very unexpected here in KL

Here you can spend the afternoon through to the evening sipping on you Mohitos whilst downing their extensive and delicious selection of tapas food.

Restaurant Name: The Courtyard Garden Restaurant

Even though the restaurant has a great phyiscal presence (althoug ha little hard to find), it is let down by the service that is provided by the some of the many staffs that just seems to hover around.

The cocktails are of average mixing standard, so stay with the beers. Beside beer in KL is always more economical than the grapes of the vines.

The food is good but not excellent. So it being slightly undersized for the price they are charging doesn't leave my back pocket too satisfied.

Restaurant Name: Planet Hollywood

Go in and pay hommage to this great piece of American tackiness. For if you've been to one Planet Holleywood, then they're pretty much all the same.

However, in KL where good burgers are few and far in between, then you have to check out the Bulleye Burger. It big and heart stopping bad.

Restaurant Name: Chino @ Suria KLCC

If you are spnding a day tourist through KL and need a quick lunch break, then I would recommend Chino. It was recommend to me for it's signature drink. A whopping 2.8 litre beer tower.

The dishes that we had was enjoyable enough, but the sole reason to go to this restaurant is to score a table outside, order the beer tower (75 ringet during happy hour) and watch the world struggle by through the heat.

Chino is loacted on the ground floor of the Petronas Towers.

Restaurant Name: Street vendors and hawkers

Look no further than the hawker stalls. They generall provide the best and cheapest local cusinies that you can find.

General rules is to always go towards the stall with the biggest line. Sure you may have to wait but knowing people are willing to line means that it's good.

Always look towards food that are freshy cooked and try to avoid food that has being sitting out for a while.

Finally, in Malaysia, food can be spicy at times. So alway have a beer handy.

Restaurant Name: Adventi

This is a nice, well established restaurant located in one of KL's finest hotel. Situated on the ground floor of the Sunway Hotel, the restaurant provide the ideal ambiance and charm for a romantic dinner.

The food is enjoyable and of the standard the one would expect from a restaurant as this. However, the highliight was not a main nor an entree dish, but rather a simple but tasty side order. If you geta chance, you must try the Mash Potato with the Truffle Oil. Truffle is a expensive item and to have it prepared well in a popular dish is something to savour.

Also, throughout your dinner you will have the chance to be serenaded by the house band
