Red Red Botak Head Restaurant @ The Gardens Mall Midvalley in Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

"This place is a total hidden gem! It's tucked away on the top floor of Gardens Mall, inside BookXcess on Level 6 (rooftop area). I was blown away by the fusion food with a Malaysian twist - seriously yum! The ambience is super chill too, made even better by the live piano performance. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!"

"The owner is very warm and welcoming, and the service is thoughtful throughout the whole meal. The staff are very attentive too, sometimes just a look and they already know what you need You can tell that a lot of thought went into the menu design. Some of the drinks are house specials that you can’t really find elsewhere, and they’re surprisingly good. The food is well balanced as well. I especially loved the **corn rib** — the corn was sweet, and when paired with the pink dragon fruit syrup, it turned out to be an unexpectedly delicious combination This is a local‑inspired concept restaurant with many small thoughtful details, but the taste is definitely not compromised. You can really feel that the team is running this place with care and passion. If you’re at Mid Valley / The Gardens and not sure what to eat, I’d definitely recommend trying this place at The Gardens rooftop"

"I really enjoyed the cozy and comfortable atmosphere here. Service is great and Chef Liang is always a joy to talk to. I ordered the unagi laksa. It came out quickly, in about 6 minutes. The broth is a bit sweeter for my tastes but overall, the dish is good and I finished everything. I will certainly be coming back to try other dishes while enjoying the service and atmosphere."

"Finding this restaurant feels like a scene from Maze Runner — you basically have to locate BookXcess at The Gardens Mall rooftop, then make your way through the bookstore to get there. We tried their set meal, which includes pasta, rice, 3 pieces of chicken, a drink, and a dessert. My friend had the “staff meal” and thought it was above average. I went for the soyu rice with chicken — the chicken was quite nice, though the 3 pieces of fried chicken were slightly over-fried, giving me KFC flashbacks. It came with chili sauce and a pink sauce — surprisingly, the pink one was better. For dessert, we had the peanut butter banana cake. The peanut butter flavor was spot on, though the cake itself was a little dry (probably baked earlier in the day) — still enjoyable. The included drink was “Camomilonaire” — chamomile tea with a yuzu twist — and we loved it. The atmosphere is a treat in itself, as the restaurant sits inside BookXcess with big window views. It’s truly a hidden gem with fusion-style food and a Malaysian twist. The owner (definitely botak ) is super friendly, and I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu."

"It was my first experience dinning there with my buddies & to our surprise, what a hidden taste buds stimulating gem it was! All the dishes & deserts ordered were amazing! Not forgetting Liang, what a pleasure to meet him in person (you’ll know why!)"

"20250521 Firstly, did not know there was a sixth floor at Gardens Mall and did not know there was a bookstore, Bookxcess to be precise. I did know once upon a time there was a Borders and a lonely cafe called Starbucks in Gardens but long gone. To find a restaurant in Bookxcess is even more interesting, a cozy place hidden on the 6th floor among books greeted by the friendly staffs and Chef Liang himself. A shame that we had only had this round, will try the food the next time…the drinks were unique and delicious. 20250616 back for a proper meal, we took the package option and chose the pulled lamb masak hitam with smoked rice. The biryani rice was fragrant but the pulled lamb was a bit salty. Next was Ebony & ivory…the overall dish taste was nice just the angel hair was not al dante, a bit soggy for my liking. We also opted spiced buttermilk ayam merah. Marinated and cooked well, I was amazed that the breast was cooked so tender and moist…yums..for drinks we got a jug of chamillionaire again..refreshing…and we got a chocolate tart of a cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Overall another nice dining experience. Both Chef Liang and staffs were attentive and friendly yet again"

"Need to go up from Isetan side lift. Food was excellent. The fried chicken was superb. Crunchy and not dry. The pink sauce was great!. Paired well with the chicken. Do not mix with chilli sauce as the chilli will overpower the pink sauce. Service was excellent. atmosphere quiet and chill."

"Tried the angel pasta - quite good with the pulled lamb briyani and fried buttermilk fried chicken. Should try the set.. get a jug of free drinks and a dessert.. value for money !"
