If you’re a corporate slave running the rat race in the Klang Valley, chances are you’re most probably working in one of the many malls here. Now, working in an office in a mall definitely has its ups and downs. Pros: it’s extremely convenient when it comes to public transportation connectivity. Cons: the prices of food items can be a little exorbitant unless…. you know where to eat. No mall does it better than MyTown. Just the size of it promises activities for the whole day.
So, if you’re working in or around MyTown, here are 10 foods to tapau for lunchtime while still staying within budget.
1. Bungkus Kaw Kaw (B1-056)
Whether it’s breakfast or lunch, Bungkus Kaw Kaw is here to save the day with its authentic Malaysian menu. While most Malaysians favour this restaurant chain for its breakfast, if you look at it, the menu covers every meal.
For fans of their breakfast menu, their Bihun Siam (RM5.90) and Teh Tarik Kaw Kaw (RM5.50) definitely guarantee an amazing start to your day no matter how much your boss yells at you. If you’re on the lookout for something more substantial, their Nasi Lemak Ayam Merah (RM7.70) and Cham Kaw Kaw (RM6.60) would hit the right spot, guaranteeing a post-lunch nap.

2. BananaBro (B1-072)
You know what’s the worst part about working in an office? The unfulfilled post-lunch nap will have you propping up your eyes with matchsticks. No meal on Earth gets you to that nap faster than a full banana leaf set meal.
When it comes to affordable and accessible banana leaf meal sets, no one does it like BananaBro. Their Craving Set Meal (RM12.90) gives you unlimited refills on all vegetables and rice with curries! My personal favourite when it comes to BananaBro is their fried bitter gourd which has a nice balance of crunchiness and bitterness.
On top of their basic set, patrons also recommend their Chicken 65 (RM8.90), Fried Squid (RM11.90) and their Fried Chicken (RM7.90). For big eaters, you could opt for their Meat Eaters Set (RM24.90) which consists of briyani, curry, vege, egg and their signature Spicy Boss Green Chicken.

Picture a pot brimming with flavourful broth, accompanied by an array of meats and vegetables that you can dip and drop into the simmering goodness.
Like mala, you pick your base from 3 choices; White Tom Ka, Clear Nam Sai or Red Tom Yum. Then, you move on to the proteins, carbs and so on.
