A nearly ninety-minute drive from KL's city center, the seaside resort of Golden Palm Tree boasts this outdoor restaurant that brims with romantic charm.Mussels, with coriander, chili, vinegar & fish sauce. RM12++ for 200 grams.Sea bass with yuzu soy sauce, sesame seeds, crispy garlic chips & olive sesame oil (RM28++). The rare occasion when a fish dish deserves to be called "addictive."Seafood's the undisputed highlight here, well-executed in both Western & Malaysian recipes less expensive than expected. The Sup Ketam (RM20++) is packed with tender crab meat in a broth that's flavorful with spices without being fiery.Grilled barramundi with a tasty "pes-pes" marinade of coconut, lemongrass, dried chili, tamarind, shallots & candle nuts. RM52++ for 400 grams. Perahu's clientele seems predominantly Muslim, but fortunately, South African wine is available by RM23++ glasses.

Photo Crafts, a venue that considers itself an "analogue lifestyle store."Photo Crafts has been operating for awhile now, but it only embarked on serving food in recent months; this signature beef burger is surprisingly worthwhile, with a beautifully seasoned patty complemented by fresh, well-executed accompaniments.Yam cake, creamy but not cloying, pleasantly sweet without being punishingly saccharine.Coffee, 100 percent Arabica, fair enough, easy enough to polish off.

Fuel exudes a cozy quirkiness that helps it stand out a bit amid Damansara Uptown's ocean of eateries.The menu's mainly Asian with modern twists; these "Beijing noodles" (RM7.90 before taxes), served chilled with pork, carrots & cucumbers, represent the recipe with the most traditional feel.Macau-inspired grilled pork chop bun (RM9.90). Fuel's food tastes fine enough, particularly considering these lower-than-expected prices. No complaints.Bonsai coffee (RM10.90), a peculiar beverage with chocolate cookie bits or something to create a miniature-plant-in-soil resemblance that could become Fuel's calling card.

check out ChopstiX, where Malaysian noodles steal a soup-soaked spotlight. Nyonya curry asam laksa, a bit of a hybrid recipe; the broth could be more savory, but a request for extra cockles makes this nourishing enough. Can't really complain. The remainder of ChopstiX's menu includes chicken floss prawn noodles, fish ball loh shi fun & Marmite chicken rice; nothing wild, but the office crowd in this parking's-impossible neighborhood isn't actually the adventurous sort, right? Prices shouldn't spark protests at ChopstiX: Nothing exceeds RM6, for now.

Fuku Fuku, affiliated to the enduring Fukuya restaurantFuku Fuku's offerings are basic for now; the focus might be steamed rice (served in bamboo baskets for dine-in customers), partnered with the likes of eel & soft-shell crab (RM28 nett).Plenty of prepacked sushi, convenient for takeaway. Udon & soba are also available here.
