On Rastam's last day in KL for the short 'Golden Week' holidays from Tokyo - the family went out to look for traditional Malay food. We drove through Kampong Baru but the Nasi Lemak International and the Wan Jor Nasi Lemak shops did not look 'inviting' at all. The whole 'kampong' had a rather depressing feel - and Raena googled for Malay Restaurants and located 'Songket' on the Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.
'Songket' was located in a nice setting - in a large bungalow with an expansive garden surrounded by many high-rise condominiums in the vicinity of the KLCC. However, there was only one table of diners when we came in. The cultural show to entertain the 'potential tourists' was too loud for comfort. The dishes on offer were traditional Malay dishes at reasonable prices. We ordered the grilled beef ribs, ikan percik, kerabu pucuk paku, pucuk paku masak lemak and kari masak lemak ayam with nangka muda. For desserts we tried the sago gula melaka and a caramel cake.
