#3 BUILT Custom Burgers (Nu Sentral)
Introducing BUILT Custom Burgers, a more flexible and on-the-go styled restaurant that serves the same quality, customizable burgers and burgers-in-a-bowl made famous at The Counter. The concept of BUILT is to allow guests to get in and out quickly while watching the team build their respective burger creations along the queue.
Basically a boujee subway! Here’s the drill: choose a patty, cheese, sauce, toppings, bun, and sides and they’ll whip it up for you. If you’re health-conscious, they can also turn your burger into a salad. For sides, choose from shoestring or sweet potato fries, crispy onion strings and more.

#5 Briyani @ Sami’s Corner (Brickfields)
No article of ours isn’t complete without featuring Briyani in it and for RM8 without a queue will get you a chicken biryani with an egg, and iced sirap- not too shabby we’d reckon. Look out for this warung tucked between a dingy bar and a budget hotel. Seats are limited so bringing your own Tupperware to pack your food is a good idea. There’s also sup kambing, mixed rice, and other options. Complete your lunch with cut fruits from the stall operating next to Sami’s.

#7 Warisan Ayam Nasi Kukus (Nu Sentral)
An East Coast specialty, the nasi kukus is popular for its simple combination of fluffy steamed rice grains paired with gulai and fried chicken. Nestled within Nu Central of Kuala Lumpur, this particular cafe has garnered quite the reputation in dishing their rendition of the authentic Malay nasi kukus.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Brickfields where traditional Malay food is rather scarce, Warisan Cafe ensured that local food aficionados can get their piece of authentic nasi kukus action right smack in the middle of the cityscape.
There are not just one or two types of rice but five variants in total –regular steamed rice, brown rice, pandan rice, santan rice (think nasi lemak), and last but not least rice infused with the essence of morning glory.
All fragrant and fluffy yet retaining a distinct flavor of their own, the different rice will spice up your meals in their own accord with the chicken thighs marinated with 14 spices and deep fried to perfection offering a tenderous meat with burst of flavor! It’s a thumbs up for us!

#8 Singh’s Chapathi House
If you’re willing to wander around downtown, Singh Chapathi offers one of the softest, fluffiest Chapathi’s in town. In fact, they’re so good and proud, this joint is named after their star of the show. While Indian makes up for one of the big three ethnic groups in Malaysia, when it comes to Indian food, the Northern variety is definitely one of the least represented and Singh’s Chapathi house makes up for the underrated exposure to this beautiful side of Indian cuisine.
Check the list off here with their aloo gobi(potato masala), baingan bharta (brinjal masala) and Palak Paneer (Cottage cheese with spinach) best dipped heavily by the chapati for an ultimate explosion of flavors!

#9 Pisang Goreng @ Banana Fritters (Brickfields)
Crispy, crunchy, moist and chewy. These are some of the traits that we love about our Pisang Goreng. Believe it or not, a good Pisang Goreng can come in several forms. The most common of course is done by those roadside-stalls. If you’re anywhere near this sweet snack, there ain’t any excuse to not give it a try!
What makes their banana fritters so deliciously addictive is the freshness of the bananas. Every perfect bite marries sweet flavor with just the right amount of crunch. Their bananas are usually fully ripe and peeled, battered and fried right on the spot upon order, hence guaranteeing hot, golden brown banana fritters in your hands.
