Madam Kwan’s, Kuala Lumpur

4th Floor, KLCC

This is a nice rest stop for those days when you are shopping and need a tasty bite at KLCC. The food here is generally what you will find in the typical hawker centres and coffee shops, except that are all housed in one menu and you don’t have to go running from place to place to savour it all.

My choice pick here is the assam laksa or Penang laska. This spicy and sour dish is usually served with a dollop of prawn paste and generous shavings of cucumber and pineapple on top. This may not be the very best that I have tried (the good ones come with chunks of tuna) but its pretty darn good still. Prices here are a tad higher than that of the food court / hawker centres. The assam laksa was about RM 12 / US$3.20.

The nasi lemak (coconut flavoured rice served with a chicken curry and sambal) was pretty delicious as well; as was the Malaysian style Hokkien mee, that is well coated in the sweet dark savoury sauce.
