Harrods is an instantly recognisable brand often associated with luxury and the finer things in life. The brand first came to Kuala Lumpur in 2009, with the opening of Harrods World Signature Shop and Tea Salon, on the second floor of Suria KLCC: divided into two sections, the retail store and restaurant has a similar classic interior to the famous UK’s Knightsbridge branch.  

Then, at the beginning of 2013, the street-level Harrods Cafe opened to match the restaurant upstairs. Featuring the same distinctive terracotta façade, with dark-green awnings and a sunlit interior, it is the place to head to for a laidback, English-style meal. Holding court at Harrods Cafe are the display cabinets stocking rows upon rows of pastel-coloured cakes and macaroons and piping hot pastries, with all manner of boxes stacked neatly behind the counter ready to hold take-home treats.
