10 Breakfast In KL 2021

#1 Nasi Lemak @ Nasi Lemak Tanglin

Nasi lemak, literally translated to ‘fat rice’ (Bahasa Malaysia, go figure) is one of the must-try dishes whenever you are in Kuala Lumpur so here’s beginning this beautiful journey with our National staple dish!

With over a dozen places to choose from, Nasi Lemak Tanglin operating on a truck has been working on their Sambal since 1948 and has been building a reputation that cannot be matched anywhere else. Featuring sambal that mildly spicy with a hint of sweetness accompanied with crunchy(very important) anchovies, nuts, firm and fluffy rice of course with nicely separated grains plus good aroma from a healthy dose of coconut milk (santan) speaks for itself. Recommended to try out their squid dish as they’re pretty known for it!

#5 Roti Bakar/ Kaya & Toast @ Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea & Coffee

Similar to egg on toast for the English, Malaysian have fondly considered roti bakar with egg and Kopi’O as their perfect go-to breakfast. When nothing else can spice things up, runny eggs on buttery toast gulped down with a thick yet creamy coffee will just do the trick and Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea & Coffee provides both experience and classic taste with 50 years of experience.

Besides their signature Hainan Coffee, Hainan Tea (RM2.40) is a must-have of smooth, aromatic milk tea beneath the bubbly foam. On bites, get the Signature Kaya Butter Toast (RM2.40) if you like your bread crisp or the Kaya Margarine Bun (RM2.40) if you prefer it soft and pillowy. Both feature lavish spreads of homemade kaya, boosted by butter and margarine. RM2.20 for the soft-boiled eggs served in a do-it-yourself tin of hot water.

#6 Thosai,Idli & Indian Brekkie @ Chat Masala

No Malaysian breakfast list is complete without featuring Thosai in it! Specializing in authentic Indian cuisine, Chat Masala has a variety of Indian snacks and dishes suit for a quick bite or a full meal. Having said that, the Thosai (RM2.50) here is one dish that should not be slewed away. Charred to a mellow crisp on the edges, warm and a tad tart from fermentation, it’s hard to believe that something so simple and humble can turn into one scrumptious dish.

Whoever said sweet things are only meant for desserts? Offer any Malaysian some Nyonya Kuih and they would kiss you with smiles! Instigated by the Peranakan Folks, basically, Chinese people who embraced local cultures (Malay) into their lifestyle which includes language, fashion, and architecture, Nyonya Kuih is a proud invention that we choose to surrender our sweet tooth upon.

Right outside Nam Chun restaurant in Lucky Garden, you will find Ah Mun peddling kuih on his motorcycle at 3 pm every day. Lee Yeok Choi, a vendor for over 40 years has been capturing the hearts of the neighborhood with his beautifully-made kuih. If you happen to be in the area, don’t forget to stop by and pay him a visit.

He’s usually there for about 2-3 hours before he sells out.

What’s good: Plain sago balls soaked in palm sugar which contributes to the sweetness of the kuih, yields the brown layer while the green colored layer gives it the fragrant pandan smell.
