This post is continue on our Kuala Lumpur trip but about the food trail. About flight info, prepaid sim card, move around in this city, hotel, can refer to previous post: Where to go in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
First day arrived, did not have a proper meal whole morning, after checked in, we headed to Coliseum Cafe. Established in 1921, this cafe is one of the oldest in Malaysia. I get to know this via some travel tv programs. They have few branches, but to experience the colonial atmosphere, the main branch (first cafe) is must go.

First cafe of Coliseum Cafe opened in 1921 at Jalan Tungku Abdul Rahman.

In the olden days, their customers mainly were those colonial masters.

Oxtail Soup, RM19.90

Lovely soup, cooked with sufficient ingredient. Dipped with bread, nice!

Hainanese Chicken Chop, RM 24.90

In the olden days, most chefs were Hainanese, worked for colonial masters thus picked up

the western cooking skills.

With different tomato source due to different region, the source was tasty and different with

those in Singapore.

Signature dish - Sizzling Aussie T Bone Steak, RM59.90

Made it sizzling by chef in front of you.

The Bar

Next day morning, went for famous Hainanese coffee and local breakfast. Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea & Coffee started since 1964 at Imbi Market. After Imbi Market closed for re-development, they shifted to ICC Pudu building together with other stalls from the market. Ah Weng Koh signature dishes just simply South East Asian style breakfast - Hainanese coffee & tea, soft boiled egg and toast with coconut jam (kaya jam) and butter. With few decades, no wonder they mastered the skills and made well-known.

See my previous post about South East Asian style breakfast, coffee, soft boiled egg and toast with kaya jam with butter. (1) At Batam (2) At Tanjung Pinang

Well, unfortunately that Sunday so crowded we skipped this Ah Weng Koh and went into the food court in the same building. Turned out the porridge also from a famous stall, still satisfied.

The Food Court

The same day dinner, we headed to Tower 'The Troika' for sky fine dining. With the same price, we cannot have it in Singapore like MBS, so is a good deal for me.

Troika Sky Dining has 4 restaurant named Fuego, Strato, Claret and Cantaloupe.

Fuego is a Spanish restaurant. Strato is Italian. Claret focus on various liquors. Cantaloupe headed by celebrity chef Christian Bauer. Recently at Channel New Asia, he hosted a series of tv program about travel to various countries to cook for the royal families. (tv program: Cooking for the Crown)

We selected Italian cuisine at Strato. With the view of Kuala Lumpur, nice food, enjoyable life.

The next day morning, we had breakfast at hotel (Oasia Suites Kuala Lumpur). Enough spread of breakfast, satisfied meal.
