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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

In an already competitive Korean food haven in Sri Hartmas, one new Korean BBQ restaurant has caught my eye lately. It is none other than Dae Sam Sik Dang. On the same row as Busan Zip (click right on over for that review), this is another restaurant that is garnering attention and really long queues.

Coming to you with more Desa Sri Hartamas eats! This time, it is Dubu Dubu, a cozy restaurant in Hartamas Square serving up homely tofu dishes. If you’ve tried Buldojang - another very popular Korean restaurant in the area - it actually has the same owner and Buldojang is actually located the level below!

Being someone who lives in the Mont Kiara area, I can’t help but always stare at this restaurant and its endless queue and wonder - is this worth the hype? Over the weekend, I finally had a chance to try it, and here’s what I thought of it!

The restaurant, branchild of the restaurant-eur/author sisters, Mei is a cozy restaurant in the bustling Sri Hartamas area serving up food to a hip young crowd. Its seats are nearly always fully taken up, and is thriving in the Mont Kiara area.
