2 Best Restaurants in Malaysia

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.

Head to this all-day restaurant for an all-out breakfast spread or for one of the themed buffets centered around Thai and Malaysian cuisine. If you enjoy your meal and want to re-create the experience back home, ask about their Spice & Spoons cooking classes where you’ll learn to re-create signature dishes like ikan bakar (spicy Malaysian-style grilled fish), kari laksa (laksa curry) with lobster, and khao soi gai (Northern Thai-style coconut curry noodles)
