A FOODIE’S GUIDE TO DINING AT TTDI
THESE OUTLETS WILL MAKE YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE DESPITE THE LACK OF PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE LOFTY NEIGHBOURHOOD!
Dough & Dolce
24A, Lorong Datuk Sulaiman 1, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
For brunch aficionados, this one is an easy target to aim for. Found along Lorong Datuk Sulaiman 1, which in itself plays host to a number of other popular eateries, Dough & Dolce is best known for serving up hearty plates of comfort for vying diners in the neighbourhood. Keep your eyes peeled for a bright yellow door and a short flight of steps will take you up to the cafe proper.
Aperture
12A, Lorong Datuk Sulaiman 1, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
You know most places match the vibe of the restaurant with the food they serve? Well, Aperture’s cosy and woody interior isn’t indicative of the items on their menu. Given the abundance of greenery and comfortable seating, one would anticipate a menu dominated by specialty coffees, desserts, and pasta dishes, but the outlet’s menu is in fact is a mix of Thai cuisine and different types of sandwiches.
Cafe Bistrot-David
135, Jln Aminuddin Baki, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
A list of TTDI restaurants wouldn’t be complete without mentioning one of its most illustrious culinary luminaries: Michelin- winning Chef Darren Chin. With all of his restaurants populating the neighbourhood, his contributions on both a local and regional scale has indubitably elevated Malaysian gastronomy to a significant degree.
Brasserie Leon
1-1, Greens Terrace, Jalan Wan Kadir 3, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Time and time again, diners the world over are regaled by the sheer artistry of French cooking, as evidenced by Michelin stars and Le Cordon Bleu ribbons. While there can be no denying the legacy that the nation has where epicureanism is concerned, staples of French cooking can sometimes prove to be more deceptively humdrum than previously imagined.
