Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock @NU Sentral at NU Sentral
Location: G37 & G38, Nu Sentral, Shopping Mall, 201, Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Kuala Lumpur Sentral, 50470 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
NU Sentral
The menu covers a cross-cultural selection including Malay dishes such as nasi lemak, rendang, and sambal, Indian dishes such as roti canai, banana leaf rice, and curries, and Chinese dishes such as wantan mee, chicken rice, and stir-fried noodles. The concept celebrates the multicultural nature of Malaysian food, where the three culinary traditions have influenced each other over centuries to create a unique national cuisine. The format provides the variety of a food court with the cohesion of a single restaurant. The NU Sentral outlet serves commuters and office workers at KL Sentral with the broad menu accommodating different ethnic preferences within a single dining group. The casual format suits quick lunches and takeaway meals.
A meal costs between RM10 and RM20 per person. The restaurant is busiest during weekday lunch when office workers seek familiar, comforting meals. The multicultural concept provides a uniquely Malaysian dining experience where diners can choose from all three culinary traditions. The single-restaurant format is more convenient than a food court for groups wanting to order together. The NU Sentral location benefits from the heavy commuter traffic of KL Sentral. The name itself communicates the inclusive, multiracial nature of Malaysian food culture.
