Restoran Pik Wah
Pik Wah has the distinction of being listed on the Michelin guide's Bib Gourmand list, quality cooking at reasonable prices. This meant my expectations were off the roof and I'm not rating it just like I would any normal establishment I go to.
We came here for an important celebration and it was a huge party but we managed to squeeze everybody into a single table. Obviously, it was not easy to serve such a big group but the staff did an excellent job of dividing the individual portions, serving, then removing and replacing the used dining ware for each dish.
The food is good but here's the problem. I was desperately trying to identify a reason why Pik Wah is deserving of a listing on the Michelin guide. There are dozens of similar establishments located in KL that serve gourmet Chinese restaurant food that are equally good if not better.
One reason I can think of is that the Michelin inspectors have not really explored most of the restaurants in KL. The other is that it was much cheaper than other similar establishments hence the Bib Gourmand award. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this because I had the pleasure of being treated to dinner and I've no idea how much the bill came up to.
In conclusion, I would say maybe manage your expectations and just enjoy the food.
