This creative downtown restaurant pokes fun at the melding of cuisines when Asian culture met British imperialism. (In a reversal of form, Kuala Lumpur’s remaining Brit colonial architecture is shaded by the lofty Petronas Towers.) At Double Crown, East Village meets the innovative design firm AvRoKo to produce the exciting ambiance in which to enjoy delicious food. It won a two-star review from the New York Times upon its 2008 debut. So-called “hawker” style snack include braised pork belly in chilicaramel sauce and pork rillettes paired with pickled Asian pear. Double Crown offers family-style Nyonya dinners on Sundays and Malaysian banana cake with black tea ice cream every day.
