Marche Movenpick, Mutiara Damansara

Introducing a new and unique eating concept in Malaysia, Marche Movenpick is fast becoming one of the country’s most popular dining outlets. Situated in The Curve, Mutiara Damansara, it is characterised by a few statues of colourful cows outside and a cool, ‘marketplace’ atmosphere inside.

Within, food stations offering all types of fresh cuisine from local to western, all prepared before your eyes hawker-style, lend a market-like appearance to the place. Patrons will each be given a ‘passport’ at the entrance, which they will carry around with them to get stamped as they order their food from these stations. Upon exit, the stamped passports are then surrendered to the cashier, who will then calculate the cost of the meals based on the stamps collected.

Satay Kajang Haji Samuri Restaurant, Damansara Uptown

Originating from the town of Kajang, hence the name ‘Satay Kajang’, Satay Kajang Haji Samuri Restaurant in Damansara Uptown is probably the best place to sample Malaysia’s No. 1 dish.

Succulent pieces of beef or chicken skewed on thin bamboo sticks are charcoal-grilled over open fire, releasing an aroma that is quite out-of-this-world as the satay sticks are cooking. People have been known to come from far just to get a taste of the infamous Satay Kajang at this restaurant.

Opening Hours: Daily, 11:00 - 0:00 (except Fridays 15:00 onward)

Saint’s Bar & Kitchen

Located at the The Strand in Kota Damansara, Saint’s is roughly 22km from the Kuala Lumpur city centre. It’s an easy-to-find establishment – occupying a corner lot on the Red Carpet Boulevard and it will soon be in the shadow of a mega shopping mall. However, you won’t have to endure unsightly construction while eating here – the soon-to-be-constructed mall’s oversized colourful signage blocks any view of the ongoing work. Read More...
