The story
Lama is a Peranakan restaurant in the Taman Ayer Panas neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur. It earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026, an award that highlights good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant serves the distinctive cuisine of the Peranakan community, a blend of Chinese, Malay, and Southeast Asian flavours.
The dining space is air-conditioned, with parking available for guests. The menu is viewable online, and reservations can be made through the booking platform. While the restaurant’s own website offers little more than the ability to book and see the menu, the Bib Gourmand recognition speaks to the quality and consistency of the food. For those seeking authentic Peranakan dishes in a comfortable, no-fuss setting, Lama is a solid choice in the city.
