1. Bijan
$$$ | |Taking its name from the Malay word for sesame, Bijan is a top pick for many Malaysians when taking out-of-towners to sample authentic local cuisine. Head chef Zulkifli Razali brings a haute touch to classic Malay dishes, such as beef rendang (a dry meat curry) and kerabu pucuk paku (fiddlehead fern salad). Book a spot on the chef's Saturday morning tours through Chow Kit's markets to discover many of the quintessential ingredients of Malay cooking. Homemade ice cream is served in local flavors, including durian ( the "king of fruits"), so save room for dessert.

2. Dining in the Dark KL
$$$ | |Does the loss of one sense heighten the others? This is the question you'll be answering as you eat in total darkness, in order to boost your senses of taste and smell. No light sources are allowed at all, so even your phones, watches, and cameras will be stowed away (safely) in lockers. After a few warm-up games, the waitstaff, all of whom are blind or visually impaired, guide you to your table for a four-course prix-fixe menu. Dinner is always a surprise, and the menus change monthly. There's a standard menu, a vegetarian menu, and a wine-pairing option; no pork is served, and the kitchen skillfully accommodates allergies and dietary restrictions. Reservations are taken for 90-minute time slots.

3. Enak KL
$$ | |On the ground floor of the designer-dress-filled Starhill Gallery, Enak KL has become the hot spot for creative interpretations of classic Malay fare. Try the kerabu asparagus, tender stalks tossed in red chili, lime juice, and freshly roasted coconut; or the grilled prawns in udang bakar serai enak (soaked in lemongrass and served alongside a mango salsa). Finish off the meal with the dessert tasting menu, which comprises a rich sampling of delicious traditional local desserts—each with an in-house twist, of course. Seating options vary, with traditional small intimate tables, floor cushions, and long dining tables among your choices.

4. Lot 10 Hutong
$ | |You don't typically think of a mall food court as can't-miss dining, but Lot 10 Hutong has something special going for it. Each of the 30-odd hawker stalls has been handpicked based on its previous success and reputation on the streets of KL. For visitors who find the city's heat and humidity oppressive, but want to experience real Malay street food, Lot 10 is a godsend. Slurp up beef ball noodles, fried oysters, roast pork, and Hokkien mee (stir-fried rice noodles and egg noodles with egg and prawns) in the glorious comfort of air-conditioning. Myriad food options make this a good choice for families and if your kids are picky eaters, they'll at least go for ais kacang, shaved ice with various sweet toppings.

5. Old China Café
$$ | |Step through the battered wooden swing doors at this restaurant–cum–antiques shop for a meal that's served with a generous portion of history. One of the oldest restaurants in KL, it's set up on the edge of Chinatown along a street of slightly run-down pre–World War I shophouses. Formerly an old guild hall of the Selangor & Federal Territory Laundry Association in the 1930s, many architectural details remain, and framed black-and-white photographs on the wall tell the building's story. Traditional Nyonya (Chinese-Malay) cuisine is served—must-try dishes include the classic beef rendang, cincaluk (salted krill) omelet, and pie tee ("top hats"), crispy pastry shells that arrive with a plate of savory fillings that you choose yourself.
