Best Recommended Mamak In KL

Written by Updated ago

You can't claim to be a Malaysian if you have not visited a mamak. The mamak is probably the longest lasting "cultural" scene in the country. To see and understand the true meaning of "melting pot", you've got to pop by at the mamak, especially the ones closest to your neighbourhood! 

This is the place where you can drop by for a drink of the delicious teh tarik or a bite of the staple roti canai. The roti canai is best served with dhal or curry. Aside from the roti, try also the mee goreng, tandoori chicken, maggi goreng, nasi kandar, and lots more.
