Most of the Chinese restaurants and some of the Kopitian (coffee shop), street vendors or hawker food court.

Favorite Dish: Dai Bao means a big steamed bun with a lot of treasure-ingredients in it. You can get it from most of the Chinese Restaurants and some of the Kopitian (coffee shop), street vendors or hawker food court. When you cut open the Dai Bao, you find a lot of treasure: a piece of chicken, a piece of Chinese sausage, a piece of shiitake mushroom, 1/8 hard boiled egg with some chopped fried mang kuang (yam bean). The Chinese usually have it for breakfast or dinner, and even during tea time. It's very filling and it costs only RM3.00-RM2.00 depends on which region you buy, it is more expensive in Kuala Lumpur than in Taiping.

Forget ambiance, were here for the food, and we truly loved it. Delicious, safe, and most important its cheap. With just 5 ringgit, we had a very sumptuous breakfast enough to get us going throughout the day.

Favorite Dish: Lemon Chicken was superb.

To promote and encourage the preservation of our traditional Malaysian foods in all their original and evolved forms, and to revive, continue or introduce the indigenous ingredients where they have been lost in whatever way including change in taste or through loss of biodiversity.

Favorite Dish: Lots of Choices

"Chorrascaria" means barbecue in Portuguese. This wonderful little restaurant on one of Bukit Bintang's famed "eat streets," has a clean, crisp and pleasant atmosphere. Being in the heart of Muslim Malaysia, you won't find any pork here, but don't despair...

Chicken, beef, lamb, sausages...all marinated in Bom Brazil's famous 30 year old recipes, are a diverse offering that is sure to get your juices flowing.

No menu is offered. You simply sit at your table, perhaps visit the buffet for some delicious vegatables, pasta, or salads, return to your table and order your drink, and then wait for the passador (meat waiter) to come around.

The salad bar is a fixed price and includes many Brazilian rice, pasta and vegetable dishes that will certainly add to your experience. There are small cards on your table, for convenience, to signal the passadors whether you want to be offered a new skewer of meat (green side of card) or the red side, which says, "Nao obrigado," or "No, thank you."

The skewered meats that the passadors offer, are hot off the grill, dripping with delectable juices. Just pick up your tongs and catch the meat as your passador slices it off for you.

Favorite Dish: Everything here is delicious. It's too difficult to pick out any one, particular meat. The waitress will bring out several small sauce dishes, to dip your meat in, which come in the following flavors: Mint, BBQ, vinagrette and chili sauce.

I sampled them all and ended up having to walk it off through the streets of Bukit Bintang. Gluttony does have its advantages.

After weeks of being in the jungle, I was looking forward for some stylish 'fine dining' in KL. One of the most exciting prospects is Shook! - a modern, exciting restaurant which boasts a fusion between the east and the west ... Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Western Grill - and the food is prepared in front of your eyes! Yes ... there are 4 open kitchens showing off the chefs preparing the delicious food.

The choice of food is overwhelming - the menu looked like a bible! Everything is served in style, the staff are really nice and the food is supreme.

And yes, the wine list is staggering as well, both in the wealth of choice as well as the prices - all alcohol is very expensive in Malaysia so imagine the price of some fine wine ...

"Mamak" is actually from the Sanskrit for "uncle" but in Malaysia, it refers to an Indian person who has become a Muslim. Mamak stalls, then are little off-the-beaten-path places to eat, that are run by Indian Muslims.

The typical fare at mamak stalls usually involve fried rice or fried noodles, roti canai (a delicious pancake-type bread served with curry or dhal), and teh tarik. Teh tarik (literally "pulled tea" is made from mixing hot black tea, sugar and sweetened condensed milk, and then pouring it back and forth from increasingly-spread arms. The appearance is that they are "pulling" the tea.

Mamak stall prices are by nature very cheap, so go and enjoy some quality typical Malaysian food!

Favorite Dish: Roti canai, teh tarik and maggi goreng. Maggi goreng is fried instant noodles with lots of added flavor. A fresh small lime on the side makes for a great added flavor as you squirt it over your unhealthy yet tasty noodles.

The average meal is around RM5.00 without drinks in China Town area:
