Hidden above the streets of Taman Desa, the residential maze behind Old Klang Road you can find a cozy little spot that is great for gatherings and live music. It is an interesting concept of cozy work environment by day, bustling music and hangout spot by night that you should definitely consider for either of the two. They’ve been around since 1996 and are one of Taman Desa’s longest running F&B venues.

Today I’m really excited to be sharing with you all a new favourite of mine! This is 555 Thainanese Chicken Rice, a new Thai-Hainanese Chicken rice spot that has just opened in Sri Hartamas. Among all the more expensive Korean spots and Western cafes (including A’dough, which is actually right next door), this is a really reasonable spot to get your fix of Thai style chicken rice!

Step inside Kura’s Kraft and you’ll find the perfect late night hang out spot and comfy mid-day brunch pick-me-up. It’s a spot with really cool vibes and a pet-friendly environment that you can enjoy yummy light snacks and of course, their amazing collection of craft beers! I would say this is probably aimed for two crowds, the mid-day pet owner hang out or the late night snack catchup!

Have had my eye on this one for quite a while. I think that this is in a similar category to Lacher Patisserie - with the addition of some proper lunch options. In short, I think it is a really nice spot to hang out and have a chat, with very nice pastries and drinks to complete the vibes!

Hidden away in a corner of Sri Hartamas is A’Dough Atelier, a Sourdough specialist bringing the love of pastries and sourdough back into the quiet neighbourhood. This is a relatively new spot that is attracting long queues for weekend coffee and pastry runs, becoming a staple for a typical Mont Kiara brunch!

When you talk about viral Korean food in Sri Hartamas, I really cannot think of one Korean food spot that has gone this viral in Sri Hartamas in a while. I even think I’ve seen this place more than Busan Zip and Gamtan on social media, and that’s saying a lot! This is Dong Baek, a new Korean spot in Sri Hartamas specializing in pressure cooker dishes and unique Korean alcohol offerings.

A quick search of the popular chicken rice spots in Petaling Jaya / Kuala Lumpur and you’ll likely see Shuang Siew, over at Taman Paramount. It’s a spot that I seriously see recommended everywhere from Reddit to lots of different food blogs. Given I had a bit of a break over the long weekend, I decided to give it a go! Here’s what I thought of Shuang Siew’s Chicken Rice!

Nestled in central KL is a quirky and colourful cafe overlooking the KL skyline - Kooky Plate. It’s a restaurant from the same family of restaurants that has brought Kooky Cream to KL - known for their desserts. Here’s what I thought from my short visit there over the weekend.

From the founders of Dave’s Deli & Cafe Bistrot David comes a new popular Ramen spot in Ramen David. This is a new spot in TTDI - and when you’re on the same row as multiple Michelin-starred restaurants like Terra Dining and Akar, you probably need to stand out, and I honestly think that this is one of the new spots in TTDI that really deserve attention.

It’s that time of the year again! Where boyfriends will be scrambling to find a Valentine’s Day spot before they’re all booked out. Well, you can look no further than Takeen Omakase - a comfy but luxurious spot for Kappo-style Omakase. With Executive Chef Thomas Chan’s award-winning skills and creativity, it will be sure to be a night filled with delicious food and a wonderful experience!

It’s that time we meet again. It’s time to find a spot to bring your girlfriend for Valentine’s Day yet again. Fret not, as I will never leave you guys hanging. Here’s the Bibz Eats guide to Where to Eat in KL/PJ this Valentine’s Day 2026!

If you frequent my blog, you would probably know that I do go to Sri Hartmas quite a bit for some food hunts, so when I saw a recommendation from IG influencer @qiwiie on a spot in Sri Hartamas that I hadn’t even heard of, I was a bit intrigued and had to have a try. This is what I thought of Vagabond, Sri Hartamas!

This is the brainchild of two chefs’ journey of bringing Melbourne’s delightful culinary culture back to Kuala Lumpur - with flavours absolutely inspired by Kuala Lumpur - with a lot of inspiration taken from both the Melbourne food scene, as well as the wonderful Malaysian - especially Sarawakian influence being evident in every dish.

There’s been this quaint little Japanese pastry shop that has been really catching my eye everytime I walk past and I finally got a chance to visit. It’s Kotsu Kotsu and it’s located in Sri Hartamas Square, serving up unique Japanese cakes inspired by the culture of “Omiyage”, the Japanese equivalent of Balik Kampung and bringing back regional snacks and souvenirs. The main point that they seem to be highlighting is the use of their “Backen Oven” from Japan. It’s an oven that costs around MYR360,000 and helps retain moisture in the sponge cake, giving it a light and moist texture.

Looking for a gathering spot to share the Christmas spirit with friends and family? Here’s a spot that is great! Decorated to the brim with Christmas ornaments and decorations, coupled with the classic Christmas roasts and meats and a beautiful looking buffett spread, Courtyard by Marriot Kuala Lumpur South have just the spot for you, with their dinner buffett offering at Substance.

In an area already crowded with other Korean restaurants - namely Busan Zip, Dae Sam Sik Dang, and Buldojang, I was quite surprised to see another new challenger, in Gamtan Meat Shop. It is a seriously popular new Korean BBQ restaurant in Sri Hartamas attracting large crowds and long queues. Here’s what I thought of it!

Looking for a new spot to explore on those weekends where you have no idea where to go? Then look no further than the brand new KLGCC Mall, a unique mall with specialty premium shops.

Definitely wouldn’t describe myself as someone who has Omakase regularly, but the fact that I can tell you that I’ve been to Sushi Oribe twice is probably testament to the fact that I think that it is great value! (just for reference, I can’t think of more than 2 other Omakases in Kuala Lumpur that I’ve tried).

Nestled in The MET Corporate Towers, alongside other popular spots like Lacher, Niko Neko, and Fowlboys is Fiancée Cafe. A cozy and cool spot for you to satisfy your cafe hopping aesthetics with good food but maybe a hefty price tag. Here’s what I thought of Fiancee Cafe!

It’s definitely been on my eat list for a while - especially in that period where they did their RM6 promotion and had that crazy queue outside for their 6th anniversary promotion - so here’s what I thought of Lacher Patisserie!

Wanted to share a pretty neat cafe I’ve been to lately. It’s a cafe that I really liked everything, from the food to the vibes to even the service, so here it is: Oomph Bukit Jalil! There’s another branch over at Petaling Jaya, but this is referring to the Bukit Jalil branch.
