Bites: Where To Eat

In recent months, brunch devotees have flocked to the gorgeous Rise & Shine by Tapestry in Kuala Lumpur’s history-rich Chow Kit neighbourhood. Now, Tapestry Dining is finally open, enabling customers to enjoy this space past sunset. The evening menu is exemplary, sourcing sustainable ingredients from local farmers and fishermen for culinary creations that can be traced back to their origins. Sample the Gua Musang seasonal vegetables with cardamom yogurt and barley; Kampar duck leg confit with orange duck fat financier and bean stew; Kuala Selangor lemon sole with charred vine potatoes; Tanjung Malim grilled sturgeon with assam pedas butter and pickled shallots; plus other temptations that rely on Job’s Tears grains from Sarawak, seafood from Sabah, and more.

Oodles Of Noodles

If noodles fuel your food fantasies, the new lunch concept by Thai restaurant Krung Thep will be the latest playground for your palate. Noodle Bar by Day serves up eight distinctive noodle recipes daily, including fermented rice noodles with Thai tenggiri fish curry and onsen egg; glass noodles with claypot-baked sea prawns and green chilli sauce; northern Thai chicken curry rice noodles with Chiang Mai mustard greens; and stir-fried noodles with charred chicken, aromatic herbs and sriracha sauce. This means Krung Thep’s wider a la carte menu is now served exclusively in the evening, though there’s still a selection of several small plates to accompany the noodles, ranging from duck egg omelette with crab meat to fried chicken hearts and gizzards with fresh herbs.
