Guide to Restaurants in Persiaran Ampang

Casa Latina

The team at Casa Latina is known not only for their lip-smacking Latin menu with recipes from all over South America but did you know that they also have a boutique chocolate lab? Chef Tamara Rodriguez is a master chocolatier and makes her very own chocolate right here in-house. You can even watch them making chocolate from scratch through the glass room at the front of the restaurant. Must-eats here are, of course, chocolate, but also don’t miss trying the arepas, empanadas and Tequeños, and for those wanting to reduce their meat intake, check out their Vegan Mondays’ menu here.

La Risata Persiaran Ampang

La Risata, a local Italian restaurant has stood the test of time and is recognized for its comforting Italian recipes and friendly service. The menu here is reliable and there are some dishes, such as the Salmon Ravioli, that are so popular that they’ve been on the menu for over 20 years! And, just as 28 Fireplace and Casa Latina have been responding to requests for more vegetarian options, they have a number of meat-free dishes on their menu too. And, oh, their Chocolate Bomb dessert is literally “da bomb!”

Super Saigon Persiaran Ampang

A relative newbie to the scene is Super Saigon. This bright cheery location serves up Melbourne-style pho in a whole variety of forms. The best is their traditional beef noodles but you can get vegetarian options too.

  1. Used to stay at Ampang for meetings at least once a year, Crown Princess. I hear they’re closed now, demolished.

  2. All sounds really good. This is an area I have yet to explore properly.

  3. Wow, there are a lot of choices on this street alone….though I’ve only been to 28 Fireplace! Must make it a point to give the others a chance when I’m on this street next.
