#winhkflight 📍Fried Rice Company, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur My favourite fried rice place in Kuala Lumpur is none other than Fried Rice Company that is located in Yulek area in Cheras. It is a humble small store selling fried rice, but I would always revisit whenever I was craving for homey delicious food! We were immediately greeted by the tantalising aromas of fried rice entering the store. There are several tables and seats, with airy environment, great place for a quick hearty lunch. The fried rice was served quickly and warm, was very flavourful and full of wok hei! They definitely did not skimp on the ingredients, prawns were fresh and well cooked, egg yolk was runny! Love this place and 10/10 would recommend ! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

#winhkflight 📍Yue Coffee Bar 46a, Jalan Mutiara Barat 6, Taman Taynton View, 56000 Kuala Lumpur Decided to have a quick breakfast at this café after reading reviews of this café online. The café is tucked in a quiet neighbourhood, rather difficult to spot the entrance of the café as it is located on the second floor. The vibes are immaculate, with cozy and comfortable environment. Great place to work on laptops, have small talks. Love that they have ample of natural lighting flowing in store, it is also air conditioned. Coffee was good, with strong coffee aroma, the blend of coffee and milk is well balanced! The food we ordered was delicious and served warm too! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

📍Poppy Kat, Cheras this is a cat friendly cafe. it is located on the second floor of a shoplot. parking is a bit hard as it is in a congested area. the cafe is small but very well designed that it looks bigger like double than its size. even though they had cats roaming inside, it is clean. the caramel popcorn latte is soo delicious! the croffle is so-so. #deliciousfood #cafe

It has a very clean and welcoming atmosphere. Cozy ambiance to enjoy drinks. Price are affordable. The drinks here are also nice as they're not very sweet and doesn't feel filling. Ordered the Some Korea Spicy Chicken. Food served are those healthy type with combination of many ingredients. Rice is very small portion only but overall is quite filling for me. 🥰 It’s self service restaurant, order at the counter and collect at the counter when your order number displayed on the screen. Song or music played are quite nice. More customers comes after 4pm and it’s seems like students from the nearby college. 🍃 Selling healthy milk tea here. Really like the environment here, very relax, unique among other milk tea shops, the staff also very polite. 👍🏻✨ #afternoontea #awesomepic #mytripvlog #best_trip_by_trip #teatime #bestplaces #mustcome #deliciousfood

Poppy Kat Cafe is a great place to spend an afternoon, it isn't just a place for cat-lovers to converge, but to enjoy a nice meal too. The cats over here are so cute and the ambience is also so relaxing. The cats and cafe are really clean and don't have bad smell. They are well know for the croffle, but I didn't manage to try it , will try it on my next visit. 📍 Poppy Kat Cafe 🕒 Mon - Thur 11am - 10pm Fri - Sun 11am - 12pm

Maybe I’m not a good photographer but these pictures are captured using my iPhone and I like them❤️ Just want to share the beauty of Kuala Lumpur at night. First pic: The view is from my bedroom at dawn Second pic: This picture was taken at MRT Kajang and a lot of people also stop there to capture the moment. Third & Fourth pics: I captured this view when I was at the Airbnb @ Landmark Residence. The rate of 1night stay only from RM160++ and it is really worth it with the view. Last pic: The fireworks were happening during 2021 New Year Celebration. I am lucky to watch it only from my living room as my house is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. #kualalumpur #airbnb #nightlife #awesomepic

Located just about 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, you’ll need to take about a 10-minute hike before you reach BMC Blue Lake. It’s situated in Bandar Mahkota Cheras. It’s really super blue. Armed with general directions from the trailhead, we confidently headed up a jungle path on the left of the tarmac road. Following an arrow pointing to the ‘Fish Pond’, we climbed for twenty-five minutes with nary a glimpse of the famed blue lake. #awesomepic#naturalwonders#beautifulsunsets#hiking

#summervacay #Restaurant9888 #HakkaFoodCheras #CherasEats #KLFoodie #ChineseFoodKL #ClaypotLove #FamilyDinnerSpot #HiddenGemKL I had dinner at Restaurant 9888 in Cheras and it truly hit the spot. The place was already buzzing with locals when I arrived—clearly a go-to for comforting, home-style meals. The atmosphere was lively but not chaotic, with big round tables filled with families and friends digging into claypot dishes and sharing laughs. I ordered their signature claypot braised pork leg with radish, and it was incredible—rich, savoury, and tender, with all the deep flavours you’d expect from a slow-cooked Hakka dish. The abacus yam balls were chewy and fragrant, one of the better versions I’ve tried. I also added a simple stir-fried vegetable dish to balance out the meal. Everything came piping hot and portion sizes were generous. The staff were fast and friendly despite the evening crowd, and service was quick. It’s not fancy, but the food speaks for itself. Great for a hearty, satisfying dinner without the fuss. Travel Tips & How to Get There: • Best time to visit: • Come for dinner just before peak hours (around 6:30 PM) to avoid the queue. • How to get there: • Located in Cheras, along Jalan Cerapu. Best to drive or take Grab—parking is limited but manageable. • Tips: • Must-try dishes: claypot pork leg, abacus yam balls, and their seafood tofu. • Ideal for small group dinners or family meals. • Don’t expect a menu in English—just ask for recommendations or go with their popular claypot items!

#summervacay Tucked in the heart of Cheras, Shun Shun Lai Kafe is a hidden gem for authentic Malaysian-Chinese cuisine lovers. This cozy eatery stands out for its comforting flavors and homemade touch. A must-try is their signature fried chicken paired with rich, nourishing black chicken herbal soup — a perfect harmony of crisp and comfort. Don’t leave without trying their refreshing peach gum desserts, which offer a light, collagen-rich treat to end your meal. With a menu steeped in tradition and local favorites, Shun Shun Lai Kafe is the ideal spot for a hearty, nostalgic dining experience in Kuala Lumpur.

Just tried Mee Kicap Ipoh at Kompleks Permaisuri, Cheras — and wow, it totally lives up to the hype. Their mee kicap, springy noodles coated in rich, savoury kicap sauce, topped with perfectly seasoned chicken and accompanied by a comforting bowl of sup fishball. The flavour balance? Just nice — not too salty, not too bland. They also serve mee kari and other Ipoh-style comfort food for those craving a little spice. The restaurant has a clean, minimalist décor with warm lighting and simple wooden furniture, giving it a cozy, homely vibe. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfy — perfect for quick lunches or casual meet-ups. What impressed me the most was the friendly staff — very polite, fast service, and attentive even during peak hours. Overall, it’s an affordable, halal-friendly spot worth visiting again. If you’re a fan of authentic Ipoh flavours, this is your place! 📍Address: R-G-49, Kompleks Permaisuri Q, Jalan Sri Permaisuri, Bandar Sri Permaisuri, 56000 Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. 🕰️Business Hours: Daily, 12:00PM-11:00PM. #kualalumpurguide #localfood #couplestrip #thingstodo

If you are around Cheras and looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant, do stop by Koya Japanes Restaurant in Mahkota Cheras. This is a simple Japanese style restaurant with good selection of Bento sets at reasonable price. My daughter especially love their garlic fried rice. The restaurant owner is nice and patient with us when we ask lots of questions on the menu selection. We had a good lunch at this place reminiscing our recent trip in Japan.

#cityplaybook Yue Coffee Bar in Cheras feels more like stepping into a familiar old kampung house than a typical café. The space is open and rustic, with wooden beams, creaky floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in soft, natural light. Mismatched vintage furniture, a tiny library corner, and plenty of indoor greenery give it a homey, lived-in charm that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. I had a flat white and lingered by the atrium, where the light filtered beautifully through the roof, casting soft shadows across the room. It’s a spot that blends nostalgia and quite cool without trying too hard. 📍 Yue Coffee Bar

#cityplaybook A hidden gem of a café, quietly located on the second floor of a shoplot. I have to say, I’m a big fan of the interior—monochrome minimalism done right. Since it’s a corner unit, the space feels open and airy. My friend and I often spend entire afternoons there over coffee. Speaking of coffee, we really liked it. They offer two espresso bean options: one with fruity notes and the other more chocolatey and nutty. I lean towards the fruity one, while my friend prefers the nutty profile. 📍The Mechanic (Cheras)

#kualalumpurguide If you love the smell of fresh pastries and the sight of shelves lined with golden baked goods, this is your heaven. 65°C Ondo Bakery Café is one of the most impressive bakeries I’ve stepped into in KL—seriously, the selection is huge! Rows and rows of individually packed buns, cookies, pastries, and pineapple cakes fill the air with a buttery aroma that’s impossible to resist. What caught my eye the most were the Pandan Pineapple Cookies and the classic buttery milk pastries. Everything’s so well-organized, from the snack baskets to the gift box section, it almost felt like walking through a luxury food gallery.
