2025 Kota Damansara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#malaysiatrip During my recent trip to Malaysia, I had the chance to try Two Peck Crispy Chicken in Kota Damansara, a popular Taiwanese fried chicken brand. The shop itself has a bright and cozy vibe, with a fun, casual atmosphere. The interior was clean, and the staff was friendly. The first thing I noticed when I took a bite was the crispy skin—it was perfect! Every piece was super crunchy, while the chicken remained tender and juicy on the inside. The flavor was just right, with a nice balance of seasoning. I also tried some of their popcorn chicken—small, bite-sized pieces that were easy to snack on, but equally as tasty. I paired the meal with a refreshing drink from their menu, which helped to balance out the savory and crunchy flavors. It was really satisfying! If you love fried chicken, I would definitely recommend giving Two Peck Crispy Chicken a try if you come across one in Malaysia or anywhere else. It's the perfect snack or meal if you're looking for something crispy and flavorful, and it really lives up to the Taiwanese street food reputation! 📍 Two Peck Crispy Chicken 🕒 Mon – Sun : 11 am - 10 pm #100waysoftravel #kuala_lumpur

Had a fun and flavorful tea time at Sun Thai Food! I treated myself to their Coconut Ice Cream (RM11.90) which came with three generous scoops—perfect for sharing between 2–3 people. I also tried the Thai Banana Roti with Nutella and condensed milk (RM7.90), a sweet, crispy indulgence that hit the spot. The ambience was bright and meriah, filled with lively vibes, and there was even a tuk tuk parked outside for cute photo ops! #myitinerary #afternoonteatime #thingstodo #foodhunting

The grill is fired up, the meats are sizzling, and the aroma is irresistible—Korean BBQ in Kota Damansara is a feast for all senses!

Pair it with a steaming bowl of kimchi jjigae and a glass of cold barley tea—this is K-BBQ heaven at its finest! #favouriteitinerary

#favouriteitinerary I had lunch with my friend at Restaurant Lao Cheng Jie, where we ordered Chong Qin small noodle, xiao long bao, and pork and beef skewers.

Their Special Tea Blend was divine, boasting soothing floral notes that instantly warmed me up. I also tried the Ochazuke—a simple yet heartwarming rice dish served with tea broth that paired perfectly with the peaceful vibes of the place.

Their attention to detail is magical—from the miniature snow globes sitting beside reindeer figurines to the retro “Behave as you think” cassette decor, every corner tells a story. My favorite spot?

#malaysiatrip During my Malaysia trip, I had lunch at a restaurant called Front Line Chinese Cuisine in Kota Damansara. It serves a variety of authentic Chinese dishes, and I was excited to try some of their unique offerings. I ordered two dishes that really stood out. The first was their Spicy Diced Chicken, which had a kick of heat and was mixed with peanuts—perfectly crunchy and flavorful. The second dish was their Shredded Potato Stir Fry, but it wasn’t the usual stir-fry you'd find in most Chinese restaurants. Instead, it was crispy, almost like fries, and had a really interesting texture. The ambiance was nice and cozy, and the presentation of everything was thoughtful. If you're in the area and love Chinese food with a twist, this place is definitely worth visiting! 📍 Front Line Chinese Cuisine 📮 NO 23 JALAN PJU 5/20 THE STRAND, Kota Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya 🕒 Mon – Sun : 11 am - 10 pm

This is my first hike in a while (a year maybe?) and it was fantastic. The trail is fairly easy, and only will face steeper hike 10-15 minutes before the peak, with amazing view of Kota Damansara. The whole journey will take about an hour (around 3.5km from starting point to end). There are many trails to pick, but to get on top, follow the path for Denai 3 Puteri (labelled all the way). Saw some kids as young as 4 years old so it’s not a hard one. There are three checkpoints too for those who wants to catch some breath. Overall, enjoyed the hike and the view on top. There are some nice point for pictures. What’s a hike without some pictures to commemorate such activities right? Entrance is RM2.00, and for entry point, find Kota Damansara Community Forest Reserve or SMK Seksyen 10 Kota Damansara on Google Maps. Parking is limited so if you come on weekends, be prepared to walk a little bit from parking to the entrance. #hike #hiking #kotadamansara #denaitigaputeri #forestreserve #trail #weekendhike

📬 1G, 1, Kota Damansara, Jalan PJU 5/4, Dataran Sunway, 47810 Petaling Jaya, Selangor 🚇 Take the dark green MRT Line 9 to Surian Station and walk for 7-8 minutes. 🍲 Omega Pork Noodle Shop uses pork, pork, pig offal, etc. to make a clear soup with a very rich taste. In my opinion, if you don’t usually eat pork, the soup base here might be a bit too strong. The restaurant is bright and tidy. The restaurant adopts self-service ordering. If there are too many diners, they will need to wait in line for a while, which requires more time. In addition to pork noodles, there are also snacks, enough to give customers multiple choices and full satisfaction! #kotadamansara #surian #mrt #pork powder #omega
