Putting the spotlight on the flavours of Southeast Asia is Kai Nusantara Eatery, a fun foodie hangout in REXKL and the little sister of Chinatown’s Chocha Foodstore. If spice and herbs are your thing, you’ll love the menu here. It details dishes such as young jackfruit rendang, nasi campur tongkol, and bebek goreng—Kai’s special slow-cooked duck leg with sambal and lemang. For those who love offals, its colek perut dan paru dish of crispy beef lungs, tripe, four-angled beans, and peanuts is worthy of a spot on your table.
