Not a new outlet in town, in fact it has been around since 2009. Grandmama's at Pavilion KL with the tagline being Flavours Of Malaysia is located on the 6th floor of the mall just next to Baskin Robbins. I had the opportunity to dine there a couple of days back for lunch, and I must say it was a rather filling affair, as the portions were rather big.

It was Hot Magazine's 7th birthday bash, held at Zouk KL with party goers and friends.

Fancy some delicious roti naan for supper? Well, if you're around Ampang area, don't fret as there's this famous corner restaurant called Suzi's Corner thats serves some really good naans, and your normal mamak fare, western, steaks, and satay! Suzi's Corner Lorong Ampang Hulu,  (near Ampang Point, off Jalan Ampang)   I think this was only my second time there at Suzi's Corner Ampang , but the food was good. As I was with my partner, we only ordered the maggi goreng and the naan cheese, plus a cup of iced lemon tea. I heard the steak is the best in KL and comparable to the steaks you get in the US, but I didn't have the chance to order it the other night. Probably on my next trip there I will try the steak. I took the maggi goreng ayam plus fried egg sunny side up, while my partner ordered just plain maggi goreng. We then ordered an extra naan cheese. For the uninitiated, sourced from Wikipedia , naan can be described as below. Sourced from Wikipedia ...
