Madam Kwan is highly commercialised, but is still a must-try for first-time visitors to KL. Temper your expectations, though.
Burger and Lobster’s laksa is good, but I think is over-priced.
Some good coffee places in town can be found at the spanking new TRX mall: Eight Ounce Coffee Co. , %ARABICA , The Coffee Lounge by Kenny Hills Coffee in Seibu.
One of my personal spots for coffee is Whisk Outpost at One Utama, a popular mall in Damansara, an upscale suburb of KL.
