Santa's house is always full of chapati goodness. – Pic courtesy of Hungry Go Where, August 29, 2014.Happy 57th Merdeka, Malaysia! Invite your loved ones, best friends, and kaki makans and go on a Merdeka food trail this year as HungryGoWhere recommends you some of the best foodie haunts that KL city has to offer.
Merdeka is more than just our day of independence, but is about the unity and diversity that makes Malaysia unique and beautiful.
To celebrate Hari Merdeka, why not embark on a food trail of eateries in Kuala Lumpur city that are as iconic and culturally diverse as our nation's heritage.
Breakfast of champs
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so they say, and we have to agree especially if it's at Santa Chapati House at Jalan Tun HS Lee. Delicious and fluffy chapatis to go with rich and aromatic dhal will surely start your engine straight away.
Down it all with a glass of frothy, creamy teh tarik and you're all ready to join in the Merdeka procession at Dataran Merdeka!
A Lunch of nostalgia and diversity
Feel free to salivate over a plate of authentic nasi padang. – Pic courtesy of Hungry Go Where, August 29, 2014.Capital Kopitiam first opened its doors in 1956, so it's even older than our nation. It's also just as happening, and you'll see why if you drop by for a visit. Their nasi padang is absolutely delicious, with a wide selection of lauk ripe for the picking.
It is a perfect place for a hearty lunch, as well as to enjoy the sights and sounds of a KL from bygone years.
Tea for two? Or three? Or four?
There's no need to have sweet desserts if a Hainanese chicken chop is calling out for you. – Pic courtesy of Hungry Go Where, August 29, 2014.After a good lunch, there's something so satisfying about being able to chill out at a cool, air-conditioned diner with some lovely, sweet desserts as an afternoon snack. If old waiters and antique furnishings are your thing, Coliseum Café and Grill Room is just the right place.
Their crème caramel pudding and apple pie with vanilla ice cream would be perfect on a hot afternoon. You can even steal a swig of your favourite pint at the adjoining bar after your snack!
A dinner with a view
Let the KL skyline be the backdrop to your nostalgic fine dining experience at Federal Hotel. – Pic courtesy of Hungry Go Where, August 29, 2014.The Federal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur is an institution in itself, its halls holding memories of grand parties and celebrations of a bygone era.
The Bintang Revolving Restaurant is the perfect way to end a wonderful Merdeka day, as you feast on sizzling steaks and hearty chicken chop while watching the glorious KL city skyline. – August 29, 2014.
