Fat olive moved to verve shop in Mont Kiara for quite a while. Menu had quite a variety of selection! We ordered 6 tapas and one pizza to share. This pork pizza is recommended (rm32)! Sharing is caring! The portion is meant for bigger group! I want to go back for more :9
It’s like a backpackers lodge, but omit the dodgy-ness of most backpackers spot. Walk 3 floors up, curse the stairs, then enjoy the RM10-15 beers from Chang to Carlsberg. Lovely cocktails, but hey, we only come here for the RM98++ tuak (should round up to RM120+-), which I would share with at least 2 friends.
“Craft beer is the new wave” said their About page, and damn right it is. KL’s craft beer scene is booming big time and with the opening of Paus, it seems like this wave won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Clueless about craft? Paus can help with that with its variety of bottles neatly arranged by type along with short descriptions of the beer and price. Bummed that Brewdog isn’t available on the shelf (yet, I hope), I was stoked to find the next best IPA on the shelf by New Zealander Stoke (RM25). Crisp and fruity packed with honey and citrus undertones. Pair that with Paus’ selection of small nosh (the Roast Pork, RM25, is deeeelicious) and you’re guaranteed a good time.
California Cheese Skirt Burger. Made with halal beef. One of our favourite burger joints in Kuala Lumpur.
Freshly made breads rule the shelves at this German bakery, alongside a cabinet stocked with sweet and savoury pastries. The cafe is open as early as 8am, so swing by after your morning run for sandwiches and a cup of joe.

TTDI welcomes a sexy cocktail bar perfect for date nights, or for catching up with a friend over a drink. Look forward to fragrant tea-based cocktails, from the sweet and fruity Earl de Grey (RM43) to a rich matcha-based Zen Green Tea (RM45). If cocktails aren’t your thing, the spirits list might entice you — gins, wines and an extra extensive whisky list. Pro tip: Look out for a locksmith with a yellow signage to find the bar located right above.
Nestled in Bangsar Shopping Centre is one of KL’s most notable spots for dim sum. The large restaurant is ideal for big family meals — the variety of steaming baskets is impressive and service is efficient. Fill the table with their most loved items including the 'Siew Mai' (RM9.80), Imperial 'Har Kau' (RM10.80) and 'Cheong Fun' with Prawns (RM11.80). For larger plates, look to the lardy Hokkien-style Fried Noodles (RM28), which Burppler XinYi Tan’s suggests having with the side of sambal for more oomph. Pro tip: There's typically a queue here on weekends, so it's best to make a reservation to skip the lines.
