Meaning ‘new market’ in Malay, Pasar Baru is lauded for serving one of the best Ramadan buffets every year. Even the interior design, which sees sculptures resembling Malaysian gasing or spinning tops, speaks for the all-day dining restaurant’s focus on local tradition. With such a mind-boggling array of dishes on display, it’s best to come here with a rough plan, and we’re here to give you a nudge in the right direction. For something coming from a hotel, the Hainanese chicken rice will exceed your expectations. Likewise, the chicken satay and curry laksa are as good as those at KL’S best streetside stalls. Most of the Western fare is passable, with the salmon steak being our favourite.
