December 17th, 2008 was the second time I went to Little Taiwan at Avenue K for lunch, it was also a rather significant date as that was the day I conned Mell for her phone number and suggested that the nuffies to join me for lunch over there. My intention was of course, to meet her. She didn’t know the whole udang di sebalik batu then, hee-hee.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Update 15/8/2015: this place does not exist anymore
Little Taiwan, with the glorious braised pork!
Anyway, a little known fact about KLCC is that there is no pork served at any of the restaurants or either of the two food courts. The nearest pork fix for me would usually be Wisma Sentral, or Avenue K.
I had initially thought that Little Taiwan would be one fo those halal Chinese food outlets, until I saw their menu and immediately started drooling over the pictures of the glorious braised pork. It has since become one of my regular venues whenever I crave for those unhealthy and yet delicious glistering fats.
zha chiang noodle, pork ribs noodle, braised beef with rice, salted fried chicken
For weekday lunches, the outlet offers a quite a selection of set menu priced at RM 9.90 to RM 14.90. The set lunches come with a main dish (either with rice or noodle) and a choice of either green tea or red tea. This would only be around the price of a typical meal at Burger King.
My favorite at Little Taiwan would be their braised pork. Three pieces of very tender and rather fatty pork braised to perfection, rice is served with a dash of mince meat sauce, and there are also a bit of fermented vegetable as well as a couple slices of fresh cucumber and tomato to go with it. This dish is certainly not for the more health conscious diners.
KY, Mell, and Yat
I have also tried their braised beef and salted fried chicken, I find the beef pretty tender and the meat portion generous. As for the chicken, it lacks the more intense (and salty) taste I prefer of the same dish at Fong Lye. Other dishes generally receive pretty decent comments too.
Avenue K is located right opposite KLCC, accessible via the LRT station
Overall Little Taiwan offers a pretty good value and some rather delicious dishes. If you’re at KLCC and crave for pork, you know where to go. The restaurant is located just an escalator ride away from the KLCC LRT station.
Little Taiwan also has outlets at Mid Valley, Subang SS15, Pavilion, and Pearl Point (Old Klang Road)

kimberlycun,
You’re talking about Mell? 😛
Looks good. Reasonably priced too (for that area lor).
honestly….i never like the food taste there … the taste is very normal. i tried their taiwan noodle set and rice set … and find just an ordinary local food only. i can say the kim gary beyond at avenue k is much better than little taiwan but too bad…they shifted out. 🙂
I’m sure that’s like the best lunch you ever had cos you get to con Mell for her number! Sleazy!
not bad …for that price. didnt know they are in Pavillion too..u sure?
Lyrical Lemongrass,
Yaa, not bad at all.
vialentino,
I was never impressed with Kim Gary after some pretty poor service. The taiwanese place’s other food was alright, but the pork is still yumss!
eiling,
Hahaha shhh! 😛
thenomadGourmand,
Yah they are! 😀
No wonder! Mell is pretty ^^. Nice move man!
Haha! Nice one mate! 🙂
I do not know why, but I always have an evil feeling of flinging the pork into the crowd of LRT ticket buyers whenever I eat there.
“Babi dari langit!”, as the pork flies.
