For a taste of authentic Johor food in KL, the sophisticated family-run restaurant in Ampang serves kacang pool (served with toast and a sunny side up), Johor laksa made with ikan parang, mee bandung Muar, Johor-style nasi lemak with fried chicken and kuih sejuk with fruit cocktail. If you're wondering why the Malay restaurant has a decidedly English name, it's taken from the founder's Johorean mother-in-law's name, Khaty Ahmad, who’s also a catering veteran.
