10 must-visit food trucks for an affordable dinner with a view at Tapak KLCC

Looking for a dinner place with a gorgeous night view of the Petronas Twin Towers? Trust me, this is one place you don’t have to make a reservation at, or fork out RM300 for a meal. Located at an open-air carpark next to Corus Hotel on Jalan Ampang is the place where you can have it all— yes, Tapak Urban Street Dining, KLCC.

Come before 5pm and you’ll be greeted by an ordinary-looking parking spot. But once the sun sets, it transforms into Tapak Urban Street Dining all the way till 12am! You’ll find rows and rows of food trucks, tents, benches, tables and a live band— what more could you ask for? We checked out this lively place and curated a list of 10 must-try food trucks at Tapak KLCC!

1. Walla Walla

Blooming onions, cheesy fries, fried mushrooms, calamari, fish fingers— Walla Walla offers you every possible indulgent fried snack at their food truck. Best part? It comes with the sauce of your choice— creamy Ship Tartar, sweet and tangy Hey! Chipotle, smokey Flambelicious and Mayo Ecstasy.

We got our hands on the Fried Mushrooms (RM8) along with a mini tub of Ship Tartar dipping sauce. This is definitely best eaten hot and the perfect snack to munch on while surveying the other food trucks in the area.

2. Pasta La Pasta

Pasta La Pasta specialises in all things… pasta. Surprise! Whether it’s bolognese, macaroni and cheese, aglio olio, or nachos you’re craving for, this eye-catching red food truck serves it all. 

We gave the Chilli Macaroni and Cheese (RM17) a go. The pasta was topped off with plenty of steaming hot cheddar cheese, so you’ll satisfy all your cheese cravings in just this one dish. The sauce’s flavour is like beef chilli con carne, with the addition of macaroni.

3. The Gorpis

Pisang goreng cheese, anyone? Yes! This Indonesian delicacy has been popping up left, right and centre of every empty spot— and now in Tapak KLCC. The Gorpis doesn’t just stop at pisang goreng cheese though, they have different flavours for you to choose from: Cheese Caramel, Cheese Ferrero, Cheese Chocolate, Cheese Butterscotch and even Cheese Matcha Green Tea! 

We settled on the original which was the Gorpis Cheese (RM10). Freshly-fried banana fritters coated in generous shavings of cheese. I’ve personally tried pisang goreng cheese in Indonesia which very quickly became my favourite snack while I stayed there. The Gorpis pisang goreng cheese was crunchy and cheesy but I wished the bananas were more ripe. But, a must-try snack!

4. Puffscake

Dutch mini pancakes, known as Poffertjes (pronounced poff-er-jes), are a popular street food snack typically eaten sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar. But Puffcake has elevated this traditional Dutch snack by introducing more flavours such as melted chocolate, Lotus Biscoff, Ovomaltine, Matcha Green Tea and of course, Nutella. 

So if you find yourself craving something sweet and fluffy, head over to the baby blue food truck for some delicious mini pancakes. We highly recommend the Chocolate (RM7) and the Cookies & Cream (RM8) mini pancakes.

5. Otakotakft

Grilled crisp tofu pockets or commonly known as Tauhu Bakar. It is an Indonesian/Malaysian snack that is appetising and perfect as an on-the-go snack. 

Packed with light, tasty and flavourful ingredients such as cucumbers, roasted peanuts, carrots and a rojak-like sauce. We definitely recommend ordering this Tauhu Bakar (RM7) as it’s was delicious and the portions were large

6. First Order

Urban street food dining is not complete without large drinks to wash down your food with. And nothing beats the refreshing mango shakes at First Order. You can’t miss this truck— there are mangoes hanging off the roof! 

We ordered the Mango Float (RM8). It came in a tall plastic cup filled to the brim with mango milkshake, topped with ice cream and chunks of mangoes. Sweet, refreshing and mango-licious for sure!
