Tatler Dining Festival, featuring IQOS: Meet the talents participating in the Street Sips and Bites Fiesta

Portuguese bakery Bartolo prides itself on authenticity and craftsmanship, known for crafting rustic breads, dips, spreads, sauces, and jams in-house. They are best known for their delightful, flaky Portuguese egg tarts. 

A modern Malaysian eatery, Chocha Foodstore is known for championing the use of local produce and showcasing heirloom recipes. The restaurant consistently innovated local cuisine with takes on otak otak paired with pickled bamboo shoots, roasted lamb collar with young jackfruit puree and kemangi chimichurri, and free range chicken smoked in lemongrass leaves.

Specialty dessert café Dáo prides itself on comforting soy desserts, aiming to share the traditional delicacy in a modern setting. Established in 2018, the recipes served have been passed down three generations from the founder’s family, based in Ipoh.

With a name that means fire in Latin, it is no surprise that Ignis KL specialises in flame-kissed fare. The team finds ways to incorporate local produce into its dishes, imbuing each offering with char and smoke from its signature smoked honey corn with shio kombu and lime to charred octopus with a tamarind mustard glaze.

Exploratory, experimental, and inventive, Paolo Paolo Gelato is known for pushing the boundaries of freshly churned gelato. The traditional Italian treats are this spot’s specialty, infused with innovative inclusions including brown butter, fish sauce caramel, lemon mascarpone, and more.

Good-quality bakes, flaky pastries, and indulgent cakes is what Provisions is known for best, brought to you by the talented team behind neighborhood restaurant Li.

The city’s sleekest and newest coffeehouse, Supernormal is helmed by the minds behind Beta KL, Skillet KL, and Upper House. Nestled in B Hotel Kuala Lumpur, the spot promises to placate any caffeine craving with freshly brewed coffees that diners can pair with perfectly fluffy waffles.

Bringing a taste of Kerala to Kuala Lumpur, Kayra is known for its punchy sharing plates. Its dishes are some of the most vibrant in the city, elevating South Indian cuisine with its fish moilee biryani topped with a grilled whole sea bass, pineapple pachidi tart, and curd sago with prawn pickle.

A new modern Malaysian eatery, Terra Dining is brought to you by chef-owner Chong Yu Cheng. The restaurant celebrates local produce while collaborating with homegrown producers.

Who says you can't bake your (vegan) cake and pastries and eat them too? The Hungry Tapir is a plant-based eatery in the heart of Chinatown that sprouted up at the end of January 2020. Known for its local plates turned vegan, it also has a sister bakery, LaGula. 

A travelling smash burger specialist, Triple Decker is making a name for itself with its sinfully savoury eats. You’ll find the spot bringing its plates to restaurants around the Klang Valley on a pop-up basis.
