Nilai’s Aunty Aini’s has opened a KL outpost in Damansara Heights serving her signature ‘kampung’-style Malay food

 KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — In the world of Malay food, Aunty Aini’s is big.

Many — including the late Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay — have made the trek all the way to Nilai to relish her kampung-style dishes.

For those who have yet to make it there, you’re in luck.

On October 2, Aunty Aini’s Pop Up opened in DC Mall offering up her signature dishes like Rendang Itik Salai and Masak Lemak Tempoyak Ikan Jenahak.

You won’t find rendang daging here though, even if it is the dish she taught Gordon Ramsay to make agak agak-style on his show Gordon’s Great Escape 2.

Apparently, this pop-up will be in DC Mall till August next year. Depending on the market response, they hope to open a bigger space somewhere in KL.

Aunty Aini’s Pop Up, L1-08 (Opposite Good Juju Barbell Club), Level 1, DC Mall, 6, Jalan Damanlela, Damansara City, Damansara Heights, KL. Open daily: 10am to 5pm, 6pm to 10pm. Kitchen closes at 9.30pm. Instagram:@auntyainiskl
