Consisting of 8 floors of shopping area, the mall is huge with many notable brands, such as AEON, GSC, and H&M. One of the key attractions of the mall is definitely its large variety of food, from local dishes to Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Western and Indonesian Cuisine. If you are still yet to explore this new mall, here are some hot and new restaurants to check out! (The restaurants are listed in no particular order. Some of the establishments below are not halal.)

1. Longhorn Steakhouse @ Ground Floor

Opened its door to the public in late January this year, Longhorn is one of the newest steakhouses in KL. Founded in 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia, the chain restaurant has 450 outlets worldwide, and this outlet happens to be Longhorn’s first outlet in Asia. For a starter, try their Grilled White Cheddar Stuffed Mushroom with baby bella mushroom filled with creamy yet crispy cheese. A visit to Longhorn would not be complete without trying their steaks. One of the best-selling steaks here is the Fire-Grilled T-Bone, which contains both soft tenderloin and lean strip steak. Customers get to experience the best of both worlds in one steak.

2. TOM Co (The Original Milkshake Co) @ 4th Floor

TOM Co or The Original Milkshake Co is the brainchild of Afif, who came up with the innovative idea of mixing milkshake with cakes when he decided to open this stall last year. TOM Co is a local brand, and many of the unique flavors are invented by Afif himself. Some must-try flavors include Mr. Dark, Red Lippy, and Happy Toast. Red Lippy combines Vanilla Milkshake with Red Valvet Cake, while Happy Toast is a combination of Peanut Butter, Oreo, and Vanilla Milkshake with Marshmallow toppings. If you are curious about the taste of the original milkshake invented back in 1922, remember to try their Original Malt flavor. *HOT OFFERS: Student Discount 15% Off

3. Purple Toast @ 3rd Floor

Have you ever eaten a purple bread or burger? If not, you should try it at Purple Toast Kopitiam. The purple bread here is not made of yam as many people would have guessed. It is made from Purple Berry Whole Grain Flour, which is a natural coloring that gives the bread a sharp blue-purple color. The flour is proven to be rich in antioxidants and beneficial to our health. Some specialty dishes with purple bread include Chicken Grand Slam, Purple Club, Lamb Stew and Golden Chicken Burger. Also special is the Assam Laksa, which is served dry and prepared using spaghetti noodles.

4. Salon Du Chocolat @ Ground Floor

After the success of the first outlet at Publika, they have finally opened a second outlet in this mall offering the same popular chocolate desserts. They have recently revamped their menu by adding more new and chocolicious items. You can choose to enjoy their signature chocolate crepe with 1, 2 or 3 types of chocolate, including white, milk, and dark chocolate. The chocolate is of premium quality, which explains why it is very rich yet not overly sweet. For new desserts, you can try the Salon Cinnamon with a variety of fresh fruits wrapped with a crepe and served with a shot of thick chocolate.

5. Gantetsu Tori @ 4th Floor

Hailed from Hokkaido Japan, Gantetsu Tori is one of few ramen specialty restaurants in KL that offer pork-free ramen.

One of the most popular ramens here is the Special King Spicy Chicken Ramen served with a huge piece of chicken whole leg, Japanese soft boiled egg, black fungus and spring onions.

6. Sopoong Korean Food @ LG Floor

Established in 2011, this outlet is the second outlet of Sopoong Korean Restaurant. The name “Sopoong” means picnic in Korean. That explains why the restaurant is decorated in beautiful light green color. Operated by a Korean family, the restaurant features a wide variety of popular Korean dishes, including Bibimbap, Fried Rice, Soup with Rice, Noodles, Ramyeon, Topokki and Hot Pot. One of the best-selling dishes here is the Stone Pot Bibimbap, which is rice topped with gochujang sauce and a variety of colorful vegetables in a sizzling stone pot.

It is spaghetti with grilled half lobster tail, mussel, prawn and marinara sauce. The lobster meat is so fresh and bouncy that you would definitely come back for more!

8. T Signature @ 3rd Floor
