2025 Mont Kiara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#kualalumpurtrip Looking for a quiet hideout in the city? Seoul Espresso is a minimalist coffee nook tucked neatly under a high-rise block in KL. From the moment you step in, the green and wood tones give you cozy Seoul-café vibes — small, warm, and intimate. I ordered their iced espresso drink (with milk cloud!) and was impressed by how balanced the flavor was — strong, bold, yet smooth. It’s not the kind of place to bring a crowd, but perfect for a solo recharge or quiet catch-up. If you love minimalist aesthetics and strong coffee, this place is worth finding.

#newyearnewtrip Dinner at Sobakichi was a delight, featuring their handmade soba and perfectly fried dishes. The cold soba had a smooth, firm texture with a subtle wheat fragrance, making each bite refreshing. Dipped in the rich, umami-packed tsuyu sauce, it was light yet deeply satisfying. The loin katsu was golden and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy within, pairing beautifully with the tangy-sweet tonkatsu sauce. The fried oysters were plump, coated in a crunchy, airy batter that gave way to a burst of briny freshness. Every dish was well-balanced, highlighting authentic Japanese craftsmanship. It was a wonderful meal shared with my husband, savoring each delicious bite.

#weekendgetaways Sometimes, the best weekend getaways are the ones you spend alone. I stumbled upon Cotta Cafe, a hidden gem in Mont Kiara, and it was the perfect spot to recharge. The greenery, paired with the cozy interior, created a tranquil environment that felt like a secret escape. I paired my latte with a light panna cotta, and both were absolute perfection. While sipping my coffee, I explored their flower bar, filled with beautifully curated bouquets and handcrafted items. Cotta’s little details—like the calming plant decor and local artisan products—make it a space you never want to leave. For a solo weekend retreat, this hidden gem is a must-visit!

#weekendgetaways A weekend hangout with my friends at Cotta Cafe was just what we needed! Surrounded by lush greenery and shelves brimming with unique local goodies, the café felt like a hidden garden in the heart of Mont Kiara. We treated ourselves to their signature burnt cheesecake and lattes while catching up on life. The creative decor, especially the festive flower arrangements and handcrafted items, became the perfect conversation starters. My favorite moment? Browsing their display of eco-friendly gifts and homemade products—ideal for last-minute surprises. Cotta made our meetup feel special, blending great food, cozy vibes, and beautiful memories. A weekend retreat I’ll definitely revisit!

#weekendgetaways Cotta Cafe turned out to be the perfect weekend hideaway for a catch-up session with my friends. The modern interiors, filled with potted plants and soft lighting, created a calming oasis in the heart of Mont Kiara. We loved the little details, like the charming shelves lined with local products. Over glasses of creamy latte and a rich panna cotta, our conversations flowed as smoothly as the coffee. The warm ambiance and friendly vibes made it easy to lose track of time. Cotta is one of those rare cafes that feels like home but serves top-notch coffee and desserts. If you’re planning a weekend hangout with friends, this place should be on your list!

#magicalxmastrip This Christmas season, I had a wonderful time catching up with friends at Keopi & Sul - Cafe & Bistro. The cozy and festive ambiance made it the perfect spot for a holiday gathering. The café was beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and twinkling lights, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We spent hours chatting, laughing, and simply enjoying each other's company. The relaxing vibe and thoughtful details in the decor made the experience even more special. Sometimes, it’s not about doing something extravagant but simply sharing moments with good friends in a place that feels like home. Keopi & Sul provided just the right setting for that—a quiet escape from the holiday rush where we could focus on what truly matters: connection and joy. #xmas2024

#magicalxmastrip Stepping into Kiara 163 this holiday season felt like stepping into a magical Christmas storybook. The festive decorations were truly mesmerizing — from beautifully lit Christmas trees adorned with twinkling lights to an array of adorable Santa and Nutcracker figurines. Each corner of the mall was thoughtfully curated to capture the magic of the season. One of my favorite spots was the section showcasing handcrafted ornaments, particularly a cozy gingerbread house decoration that caught my eye. The Nutcracker displays added a nostalgic touch, bringing back childhood memories of Christmas stories. The ambiance was made even more magical by the sparkling fairy lights and festive tunes softly playing in the background. If you’re looking to experience a slice of holiday magic, Kiara 163 is the perfect destination to fill your heart with joy and wonder. #christmasshopping #montkiara

#malaysiatrip I had the pleasure of experiencing the amazing food at Kanteen Mont Kiara, a beautiful cafe where the food was absolutely delicious! Here's what we tried: The Aloha Chicken Pizza was a delightful blend of savory and sweet, topped with succulent chicken, and juicy pineapple! The Strawberry Cream Waffle, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with whipped cream, was a heavenly treat that combined crispiness and creamy sweetness. The Yao Yao Pandan Pudding was the cutest dessert, offering a light and refreshing taste of pandan! French Banana Biscoff Toast, where the usual chocolate sauce was replaced with Biscoff topping, adding a rich, caramelized flavor to the bananas and toast. The ambiance at Kanteen Mont Kiara is cozy and modern, with comfortable seating and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax. The hospitality was top-notch, with friendly staff who made sure our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. #foodhunting #foodie #kualalumpur #dessert #awesomepic

#malaysiatrip Hanging around Mont Kiara and not sure whether to go for coffee session?! Kofi by 77 is a great place to drop by for a coffee break. You can enjoy a good cup of coffee and have a great chit chat session with your friends. Its great if you can order a slice of cake to pair with the coffee. You can have vegan dark chocolate truffle cake or burnt cheesecake. Both are equally yummy! The coffee is excellent, relying 100% organic Arabica beans from Papua New Guinea.
