From snacks to high end feasts, stay safe indoors and simply order in from these selection of restaurants while under quarantine.
Malaysians all over the country just rolled over after the announcement of the extension of MRO that will be stretching on until the 14th April. That means we won’t be able to satisfy our desires for café-hopping or enjoying the ambience of a restaurant anytime soon. It also doesn’t help when panicked folks are frantically stockpiling and clearing out the shelves at grocery stores. As fellow foodies, this hits harder for all of us.
Fret not, these 10 establishments are now open to delivery and/or takeaway services to curb those appetites while you’re under home quarantine. So whether you’re in the mood for something French and fancy, or prefer a lowkey yet cosy meal with familiar flavours – or just simply can’t cook to save your life, take a gander below at which restaurants are now reaching out to you and your appetite.
BABE
If you’re craving for high end Japanese cuisine with a modern twist, it’s impossible to not include Babe by Jeff Ramsay. Think premium comfort food that echoes the flavours of Japan, with offerings such as their Wagyu Katsu Sando set, or Ootoro Don. View their menu here.
Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Though the doors to the Shangri-La Hotel’s dining outlets will be closed in accordance with MRO, you can still have their dining experience through their new Delivery Service via the hotel’s mobile app! You can now order in a myriad of cuisines such as Cantonese delights from Shang Palace, Bento boxes from Zipangu, and flavours of the world from Lemon Garden Café. If you're a Golden Circle member, you can earn GC Award points for every order. However, Golden Circle membership promotion and redemption is not applicable. View their menu here.

Bistro à Table
Takeaway Chef Isadora Chai’s impeccable, high-quality dishes from Bistro à Table’s takeaway menu. Transform your home into a cosy fine dining area by sprucing up the decor with what you have, and sit down to a sumptuous dinner with courses including a rich Gruyere cheese soufflé with lobster bisque, house-made gnocchi with unctuous truffle cream, and comforting red wine bouef bourguignon. View their menu here.
Nero Nero
It's easy to feel anxious during these uncertain times, so why not treat yourself to some hearty Italian fare? Nero Nero offers elevated comfort food that plays with traditional recipes and contemporary flavours. Try their Tagliatelle di Castagna if you want something luxurious yet homey. View their menu here.
PLOY @ Clearwater
Get modern Asian cuisine that PLOY @ Clearwater is known for delivered right to your doorstep while under quarantine. Tuck into indulgent dishes such as the Linguine Mentaiko or the Black Rice dish that's deeply tainted with briny squid ink. View their menu here.
Botanica + Co
If you're into the nourishing variety that Botanica + Co is known for, you can rest assured that you'll be able to pick up your favourites via delivery or drive-thru pickup. They're even offering up Family Platters if you're feeding your family at home. View their menu here.
PAUL
Some of us simply can't live without our buttery carbs and comforting refinery of French pâtisseries, so naturally we had to include PAUL in our list. If you're in need of a sweet pick-me-up in the form of an éclair or chocolate croissant, or perhaps some French comfort food such as Roast Chicken and Beef Stew - you know who to call. View their menu here.
Table & Apron
If you’re looking for some contemporary fusion fare to bring back some excitement into your lives, try the take out menu from Table & Apron. East meets West in creative dishes such as the charred eggplant with miso and bonito, and mushroom conchiglie with miso butter. You can even pair your meals with their offering of craft beers - just to take the edge off! View their menu here.
Sitka
Just because you're staying at home doesn't mean you need to limit yourself to "boring" food. Plaza Batai's Sitka restaurant is now sending some of their tried-and-true favourites such as their truffle fried rice, chilli braised beef, and Japanese caesar with smoked unagi to your home. Savour familiar Asian flavours with a modern twist that Sitka is known and loved for. No fuss, no muss, just pure culinary indulgence. View their menu here.
Soleil
When it comes to the flavours of Europe, look no further than Soleil Restaurant at DC Mall. Currently offering only a takeaway option, you can bring home lunch that’s reminiscent of a classy French bistro with dishes like the classic Croque Monsieur or Duck Leg Confit. Don’t forget to finish off your meal with their Kahlua-spiked Tiramisu for an (necessary) added pick-me-up! View their menu here.
