#BUROEats: 7 New cafes and restaurants to visit in the Klang Valley in February 2022

1. Nimbus Restaurant

From the same chef-founder behind Cloud Hawker, a hawker and street food delivery service, comes Nimbus Restaurant—a modern restaurant combining influences and inspiration from various cuisines. An unassumingly elegant setting beckons, enlivened with neatly potted plants and a foliage wall adding colour to the neutral interiors. Expect a selection of starters, mains and desserts that offer a mix of familiar and elevated flavours, with dishes including Chicken Liver Pate, Prawn Bisque Noodle, Coffee Braised Pork, and PB&J.

2. The Crane KL

Making its ‘nest’ along Jalan Sultan, The Crane KL debuts as a vibrant new addition to the ever bustling Chinatown this year. Housed in a building that dates back to the 1930s, the restaurant and bar reflects the oriental theme of its locality with striking red and teal interiors. Paper cranes and lanterns hang over tables, while crane illustrations adorn the art canvases and walls in the alleyway corridor—a sight that’s well worth the gram. You’ll find original creations such as Nasi Lemak Wanton, Japanese Udon in Curry Laksa Gravy, and its own take of an Aussie Beef Burger on the food menu, in addition to a range of classic cocktails at the bar upstairs.

Spot the cartoon raccoon in SS2 and you’ll catch the face of Bandit, the neighbourhood’s new hideout for specialty coffee, bread, and hot meals. It’s hard to miss the adorable mascot when it’s mischievously grinning at you from the front window and all throughout the store, down to the takeaway packaging and merchandise. We hear these bandits make a mean sandwich and cold brew, among other Asian-inflected dishes and specialty drinks.
