Rama V
This restaurant has been around for more than a decade and that says a thing or two about their establishment. Rama V is probably one of KL’s best-kept secret that is hidden away from the city but still remains close enough for diners to get to. The restaurant is set in the middle of a pond that’s elegantly covered with lotus. Their menu proves just how exotic Asian cuisine is and we highly suggest the Tom Yam Kung Mae Nam, which is basically tom yam river prawns that’s served in young coconut.
