A few weeks ago, I decided to check out White Butter KL, a casual dining spot nestled in Kampung Baru. Known for its vibrant street scene and iconic views of the KL city skyline, the area has always been a unique mix of charm and chaos. White Butter KL leans heavily on the view as its main draw, but let’s get into the details.
The Ambience
First things first—the view of the KL skyline is undeniably stunning, especially in the evening. The towering city lights create an atmosphere that elevates an otherwise simple dining experience. It’s no surprise that people flock here, as it’s a cheaper way to enjoy a meal while soaking in the city's beauty.
However, let’s talk about parking. If you’re unfamiliar with Kampung Baru, brace yourself for a challenge. Ample parking is not the area’s strong suit, so plan ahead, especially during peak hours.
The Food
White Butter KL’s menu features an array of crowd-pleasers: pastas, burgers, buttermilk dishes, loaded fries, and more. My dinner consisted of creamy tomato pasta, while my dining companion Feyy had the salted egg pasta. Both dishes were... fine. Nothing groundbreaking, just decent pasta that did what pasta should—fill you up.
What stood out, though, were the loaded fries. Packed with flavor and generously topped, they were the meal's highlight. The milkshakes also deserve a mention—not too sweet, just the right amount of indulgence without overwhelming your taste buds.
The Price Point
One of White Butter KL’s biggest selling points is its affordability. Compared to similar cafes in the city, the prices are more wallet-friendly. If you’re on a budget but still want a decent meal with a killer view, this place ticks the boxes.
Final Thoughts
Would I recommend White Butter KL? Yes and no.
Yes, if you’re after the view and appreciate a more affordable dining option in KL.
No, if you’re looking for food that will leave a lasting impression. The pasta was average, and while the loaded fries stood out, they weren’t enough to make me eager for a return visit.
If you’re someone who shares my taste preferences, you might want to explore other spots for better pasta. But if you’re curious or simply in the area, give it a go—you might just like it more than I did.
