I enjoy my little gastronomic adventures overseas. I discover that other than preparation and presentation, the environment can make a difference to the experience. When I was at Gurney Heights Kondominium, I had good and cheap prata breakfast at the "24 Jam" Restaurant by the pool. It was a novel experience as their only customer, eating prata and drinking teh tarik by a pool of still water.
For such cheap breakfast, the scenery was breathtaking. I could see the KL skyline from my - Alfresco dining - table. The sun was not too high (at 8-9 am) and the surrounding blocks shielded me from the sunlight.
With the waiter back in kitchen, I wasted no time in conducting "industrial espionage". I'm glad to have brought back Restoran Safa Marwah's menu.
The food and drinks listed are much cheaper than in Singapore. For example, here's a breakdown of what I sampled and their approximate cost in Singapore dollars:
I love the privacy afforded and the hassle-free breakfast. The air is fresher than in Kuala Lumpur without all the pollution. I felt like an emperor because I was their only customer. The waiter shuffled to and fro to take my and only mine order. A good place to start your day and to plan your subsequent itinerary.

Hi Icemoon,
Nice review on Gurney Heights. Detailed and unbiased. Do come here again as we are improving the condition of the condo now (the pool is clean and crystal clear). I'm also requesting your permission to use some of your pictures at Gurney Heights in our community blog http://gurneyheights2.blogspot.com/
In fact, we've already use the blue-looked KL in our header now but we'll take it out if you want. We'd thanked you in advance and do come again here and maybe we can buy you another hot prata and teh tarik.
From the New Management of GH
Hello GH,
Nice to hear from you. Feel free to use the photos. I realize the blue-looked KL is blur in your blog. Do email me if you want the original high res one.
I like the suburban location and environment. Will go again. Looking forward to the prata and teh at Restoran Safa Marwah. :)
icemoon,
Kang khor to walk from station or not?
how about chapati for people like me?
peter,
Not kang khor. Just one straight road to the station.
Opps, don't see chapati in their menu leh.
Nice shots, Icemoon. But your second shots lately seems to be taken more on the other side of the causeway.
But I guess it's still nostalgic in a way - those food prices have not seen over this side of the causeway since the 1970s. ;)
Cost of Malaysian living reasonable compared to singapore - more reason to move to Malaysia for retirement. But from Malaysian perspective food prices expensive.
I think the Malaysia retirement plan will get more appealing when the southern economic zone? in Johor is ready. No passport needed, only access card.
I have read your blog, it is very informative and helpful for me thanku for sharing this blog. If someone looking for Fun dining in KL For your special day then you should must visit in the given link.
