If you ever want to experience great 'mamak stall' food that most Malaysians are proud of , in a cosier 5 star environment , the place to be must be the The Living Room (TLR) restaurant located at The Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. You might say- Wei! no way!, but believe me - Yes Wei!!!
The Living Room restaurant has a uniquely modern ambience but very cosy. The staff are friendly and take after their very bubbly manager Mr. Syahrulnizam Zakaria. Since his arrival, the service has improved tremendously over the last year and food quality has been consistently good.

The variety of local food offeref on the Ala Carte Menu is quite extensive, with influences from of all the major races in Malaysia. If you want to have a snapshot of what Malaysian cuisine can offer this is the place to be. The Ala-Carte menu is highly recommended, as it has an extensive choice from local to international cuisine. The must try must certainly be the local fare.
The Nasi Lemak, Chicken Satay, Mamak Mee, Murtabak, Seafood Hor Fun, Kuey Teow, Ayam Percik, Sup Ekor Berempah, Chicken Rice & Masala Thosai (Vegetarian) gives you everything the best mamak stalls can offer. The food here is simply among the best you can find in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, it's one of the best kept secrets in town! Be careful!, that you don't fill yourself with the freshly baked bread rolls!

The Nasi Lemak is one of the restaurants signature dishes, the santan flavoured rice accompanied with a whole chicken leg & thigh, fried omellete, anchovies & peanuts, prawn sambal, salted egg and even some traditional ulam is to die for. Priced at RM28.00 it's really value for money too, remembering that you are in 5 Star establishment.

The Satay is best eaten if you request for the stick to be removed before serving. The satay sauce is thick and nutty making the dish one of the best in KL. They have VIP's coming all the way from Putrajaya just to have the Satay at the Westin KL.
