ZEST
Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, IOI Resort City, Sepang Utara, Malaysia
Zest is the stylish all-day dining restaurant of the Putrajaya Marriott that serves a la carte specials, as well as breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets that are a mix of Western, Asian, and Malaysian dishes. Not to be missed are its authentic Indian fare and its satay grilled on the spot.
GRILL & SUCH
Putra Walk, Jalan PP25, Taman Pinggiran Putra, Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia
A surprising find in the sleepy university town of Seri Kembangan in Selangor is Grill & Such, a hip and happening Malaysian-style teppanyaki restaurant. Unlike the usual places, it only serves Halal meats and ingredients, such as beef, chicken, squid, prawn, and vegetables.
R5VE CAFE
Palm Garden Golf Club, IOI Resort City, Putrajaya, Malaysia
R5VE Cafe is found in the Club House of Palm Garden Golf Club. It serves a delectable array of Western and Malaysian meals and snacks for golfers, their companions, or just about anyone who wishes to dine amid a stunning view of the beautifully-designed 18-hole golf course.
PALMS CAFE
Palm Garden Hotel, IOI Resort City, Putrajaya, Malaysia
Palms Cafe at Palm Garden Hotel serves up an extensive buffet composed of Western, Asian, Malaysian, and surprisingly, Thai fare. Its som tum (Thai green papaya salad) is divine, and its Malaysian dishes are prepared well as if they were home-cooked.
