FOOD REPUBLIC$
(Level 1, Pavilion KL, 168 Jln Bukit Bintang; meals RM10-20; 10am-10pm; monorail Bukit Bintang)

BLUE BOY VEGETARIAN FOOD CENTRE$
( 2144 9011; Jln Tong Shin; mains RM3-10; 8am-6pm; ; monorail Imbi)
It's hard to believe that
everything prepared at this spotless hawker-style cafe at the base of a backstreet apartment
block is vegetarian, but it's true - in fact, if you bypass the stall using egg, it's all vegan.

char kway teow
(broad noodles fried in chilli and black-bean sauce) is highly recom-

RESTORAN NAGANSARI CURRY HOUSE$
(Jln Nagansari; meals RM5-10; 7am-midnight; monorail Raja Chulan)
This simple hawker-style restaur-
ant serves a good selection of Malay dishes - soup
mee,
tom yum and so on - with a few

to keep diners cool.

You can tell one of the partners in this ap-
pealing Nonya restaurant is an interior designer - the look of the place channels old
Malaya combined with hipster chic (check those oversize Tretchikoff prints on the wall).
Try the chicken curry, aubergine in sambal sauce and the
sago gula melaka
(sago pearls in
a brown sugar sauce).
