Petaling Street - or the Chinatown of Kuala Lumpur - may give off an old-world vibe at first glance, but do not be deceived by the down-atheel disguise of the neighbourhood. The gentrified area is now home to some of the hippest cafes. One prime example is the Upper House KL, a modern Asian restaurant nestled within the hotchpotch of hawker stalls.
Located at the rooftop of B Hotel with the backdrop of Kuala Lumpur's skyline that offers a striking vantage point of the much-talkedabout Merdeka 118 tower - Upper House KL is a brand new culinary establishment under the umbrella of KARLS Group, which owns some of the finest eateries in the city including Skillet KL and Beta KL. Helmed by famous twin brothers Alex and Kelvin Cheah, the Upper House KL is where some of the most unconventional taste can be savoured - all inspired by the co-founders' tour of the nostalgic Chinatown and its lively surroundings.
