It’s no secret that The Yum List team delight is a well-balanced cocktail or two. As such, we’ve had the pleasure of visiting quite a few fabulous bars in KL this year. So, before the year gets away from us, here’s a round up of our favourites for the first quarter of 2015 in our list of:

The Bar – The sleek interior and green outlook of this bar in Empire Damansara is immediately calming. Helming the bar, mixologist Osamu Kinugawa from Japan is a master of his trade. Lovers of masterfully executed cocktails and beautiful settings must put this bar at the top of their list for a visit.
