Known forMamak24 hoursNasi kandarInstitution
Pelita is the definitive 24-hour mamak restaurant in KL, beloved for its nasi kandar — rice served with a rotating selection of rich curries, fried chicken, and vegetables. The roti canai and teh tarik are equally essential. It operates around the clock so it is perfect after a late night out. Quality is consistent and the Ampang branch is the most atmospheric.
