      If you're a foreigner visiting Kulai Lumpar, you can't go wrong with Madam Kwan's. Everything is decently priced and you can feast like a king (drink + appetizer + main course + dessert) for around $7 - $8 US a person.

      I'm not sure how the Nasi Lemak fares against other local joints but it was the best Nasi Lemak I had while in my stay in Malaysia. The rice was super rich and buttery, and the meat was extremely flavorful.

      I had to also order Kee Twao since it resembles one of my favorite Chinese comfort foods growing up - Chow Fun. It tastes similar but it definitely has more spice and kick to it than what we Chinese put into it.

      Their drinks are also a must-get. Ask the servers for recommendations, we tried 5 different drinks and they were all good.

      A very big menu with a lot to offer, however - I omly came here to grab a quick dessert while shopping in Suria KLCC. The staff were straightforward and busy doing delivery orders.

      We tried scanning the QR code to order, but the internet was terrible in the mall. There was also no free wi-fi provided. We tried flagging down a waiter and he ordered for us on his phone.

      After 30 minutes, we FINALLY received my order of cendol. A really long wait and there were no other tables in the restaurant. The cendol was delicious and refreshing. Palm sugar was kept on the side, so tou an sweeten it as you like. Overall, good cendol! But I would not recommend waiting 30 minutes for it.

      I came here on a recommendation from my Gran driver last night. I've passed by this place before but there was always a line.
      Today I was able to walk in and was welcomed right away.
      I ordered the Nasi Bojari as my main. It was like a combo platter of Maylay must trys.
      Beef rendang, fried chicken legs and prawns in sambal. The shrimp were very tasty maybe a bit overcooked the chicken leg was moist and juicy but needed a little more seasonings. The beef was simmered perfectly and paired well with the rice.
      I did order the deep fried dumplings as a starter. I think this was my favorite dish. I also tried the fried tofu in curry. The curry wasn't as spicy as I expected from a malay curry.
      The service staff was busy but efficient.
      I came here for a early lunch and was surprised to walk right in.
      Overall I'd give this location a 3.5* for food, 4* for service and location. It's also a great spot for people watching

      Service is very bad and they don't explain the ingredients on the food. If someone has allergy, good luck to them.

      Food comes in a piece

      The service was the worst I have ever had. The food was ok but not something to get out of your way to have. Very bad experience!

      Very disappointed! Firstly the waiter was very unwelcoming and curt. Came here after a few years to have the char kuay teow but the taste was far from authentic, ridiculously expensive and what's more they had run out of kuey teow noodles so they mixed it with yellow noodles! This is also the reason why our food came out so late. It really put a damper on our craving for char kuey teow. Will not revisit madame kwan again as the quality has definitely gone down the drain.

      Great place for anyone, be it friends or families to dine in. Truly Malaysian classics and continental dishes are available too. A bit pricey for me though...but worth it. Big portions.

      Oh my nasi bojari! Madam Kwan's has some really tasty stuff for a reasonable price. 120 RM for 2 mains, one veggie dish, and a set of combo satay (the sauce was excellent). Definitely get the nasi bojari if you have to pick between that and nasi lemak. While the nasi lemak was good, nasi bojari is superior in every aspect down to the rice. Definitely didn't regret taking a chance at this place.

      It's a nice restaurant serving tasty Malay food. I'm pretty sure this is more expensive than most of the other Malay places. But I felt it was worth the money, and actually still very cheap compared to US price levels.

      The beef rendang was delicious, and the beef was cooked well.

      Curry laksa was good. Also nice was the curry chicken skewers.

      I'd recommend against the mocktails. They are not worth the premium over the regular drinks. For example the only difference between the lychee drink and the lychee lemon mocktail (except the price) was that the lychee lemon drink also comes with a slice of lemon!

      This place is located on the 4th floor of the (air-conditioned) Suria KLCC Mall inside the Petronas Towers Building. A friend of mine recommended this place for its nasi lemak. We went around 6pm on a Thursday evening and didn't have to wait for a table.

      There was a lot to choose from the menu, but we ordered the nasi lemak (since it came highly recommended) as well as the curry laksa. The food came out quickly. The nasi lemak was good! The coconut rice and curry part was delicious. The chicken was just a tad dry. It also came with what they call shrimp floss and anchovies with some kind of sauce and a hard boiled egg. The curry laksa was yummy. I liked the noodles and the broth and the veggies and tofu were good. Again, the chicken meat was dry.

      The place has a nice ambience and is very clean. The service was good when we got it - there were a lot of servers on staff but sometimes it was hard to get their attention, like when we wanted to order or when we wanted to get the check - had to flag someone down. By the time we left, the restaurant (which is pretty big) was full and there were people waiting outside!
