This is the first of four reports from Kuala Lumpur where I recently had the fortune to go with work. Did a bit of research prior to going and it didn't turn up much in the way of sites or an active Urbex scene there. But getting out there and looking for yourself is always the best way so when the chance presented itself that's exactly what I did.

The first place I stumbled across was an abandoned restaurant just east of the old main KL railway station and due south of China Town. In KL there's a lot of competition between eateries and this place was just off the main drag a bit which probably contributed to its downfall. As you cans see from the pictures below it's nothing particularly special but I'm guessing it will be a new place to report on.

Nature moves fast in hot climates..

Trees need no invitation to grow:

How long this restaurant has been abandoned is anyone’s guess:

But this little Chalet isn’t in too bad a condition:

Offering undercover dining:

…this desk would have been a hub of activity:

And this hatch to the kitchen too:

Guessing they got through a lot of eggs…

Back of restaurant is pretty trashed:

The menu board indicates a mixture of very reasonably priced-Chinese and Malay dishes (R5 = £1 approx):

This place would have echoed with the click of chopsticks and the sound of family and friends dining together.

But no more dishes on this old serving table:

No more washing of hands in this basin:

Just old dishes littering the floor (and a broken badders racquet!):

Thanks for looking!

Even though it looks a bit worse for wear, there doesn't seem to be any graffiti. Perhaps like in Singapore, the Malaysian authorities take a dim view of it.
