Do you ever find yourself craving for food that provides consolation? A bite that comforts the soul and body and takes all stress and worries away.
That is why we scoured the entire city for guiltily satisfying comfort food, all just for you (and ourselves too, of course).
And the result? We found four eateries that let us munch away and eat to our hearts' content and you should too!
To put it simply: BarBenQue is a restaurant that serves up mouth- watering, on-the-go-esque American food.
New in town, its fuss-free menu, comprised of burgers, wraps, hot dogs, deep-fried Mars Bar and bottomless sodas, is already getting a lot of attention.
"Essentially, we want to offer our customers Americana diner favourites at a great price,” says Benjamin Yong, the Group CEO of e BIG Group.
“And because we are a dinner and supper time joint, we are one of the very few places in the city where you can find such tasty food late at night!”
BarBenQue is located inside Plaza Batai on Jalan Batai, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur.

Whether it’s the Spicy Prawn Cocktail, Salted Egg Crab Bun or Nutella Bacon, everything at Tiki Taka is served in miniature portion.
Their approach of having small plates is something which they believe more and more people are starting to appreciate.
Getting full on one plate of meal is passé, according to Chef Carrie Scully.
It all began when the chef travelled to Barcelona with her business partners two years ago.
“It’s a beautiful city; we especially loved the food and felt that the pincho concept was something that was missing in the F&B scene in Malaysia. We felt people would enjoy this in Malaysia as well,” she says.
And as it turned out, Chef Scully was right.
Tiki Taka is located on 138, Jalan Kasah, Medan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.
