Personally, KL East Mall is my lowkey go-to for a good shopping sesh — especially when I've exhausted my options at other malls. And beyond fashion finds, it's also home to a solid lineup of eateries ready to satisfy your cravings.
Feeling a little stuck on what to eat next? Don't worry, I've got you. Here's our curated list of the 10 best eats at KL East Mall — a delicious guide to help you head in the right direction!
If you're on the hunt for halal seafood at KL East Mall, GalahGala Seafood Restaurant might just be your next go-to spot. This relatively new branch — barely a year old — has already made waves with its flavour-packed dishes and inviting atmosphere.
Start your feast with their Signature Sang Har Noodle (from RM88), the undisputed star of the menu. Think golden, crispy egg noodles soaked in rich, velvety gravy, crowned with luscious butter-drenched freshwater prawns. It's indulgent, comforting, and oh-so-satisfying.
Craving a little spice? Their Sweet Sour & Spicy Crab (seasonal price) is a crowd favourite — live Indonesian mud crab swimming in a bold sauce that balances tang, sweetness, and just the right kick of heat.
If you're dining in a group, their thoughtfully curated set menus take the guesswork out of ordering. Designed for parties of 2 up to 10, these sets are perfect for sharing.
For a party of 2, you can choose from 3 enticing sets: Set A (RM108) brings together Salted Egg Fried Squid, Sweet & Sour Diced Chicken, Yuan Yang Kai Lan, Yang Zhou Fried Rice, and Iced Lemon Tea. Set B (RM198) features house specialties like Honey Squid and Crab Omelette, while Set C (RM258) goes the extra mile with the addition of Nyonya Kapitan Fried Siakap.

Tiga Ikan Restaurant is where Asian fusion gets a halal-certified, fun dining twist — bringing together the bold, comforting flavours of Malaysia, Korea, and Japan all under one roof. It's the perfect spot if you're craving variety without having to hop continents.
The star of the menu? Their signature Seafood Mix Curry Laksa Soup (RM29.90) — a rich, aromatic bowl that's as comforting as it is flavourful. But the journey doesn't stop at local delights. Venture further east with tempting Korean and Japanese selections like the Korean Garlic Soy Fried Chicken Donburi (RM23.90), or the smoky, tender Grilled Teriyaki Saba Fillet Shoyu Ramen (RM31.90), which brings warmth with every slurp.
And don't skip dessert — Tiga Ikan knows how to end a meal on a high note. Try the Croffle Banana with Ice Cream (RM17.50), where crispy croissant meets fluffy waffle, or go for the silky smooth Caramel Custard Pudding (RM6.50).

For solo foodies, the Nasi Campur Serai (RM29) hits all the right notes — Jasmine rice paired with tender rendang tok beef, salted egg, Thai-style fried fish, and a fiery eggplant sambal that packs a punch.
Craving something simple yet satisfying? Serai's stir-fried classics won't disappoint. Try the indulgent Sang Har Yin Yong (RM45), the smoky Seafood Char Kueh Teow (RM23), or the ever-comforting Kampung Fried Rice (RM25).

Review: Vacation-themed ‘Nobody 2' goes to new action comedy places
Funnier, sunnier and even more violent than its predecessor, 'Nobody 2' ups the ante in the cinematic action department as well. With more modest means, this sequel makes mayhem look better than much bigger films have this summer. Director Timo Tjahjanto, who's made a name for himself with such stylish Indonesian crime fights as 'The Night Comes for Us,' brings a grounded and personal quality to otherwise outlandish set pieces. This approach complements Bob Odenkirk's persona as Hutch Mansell, typical suburban dad and weapons grade assassin. You almost feel the pain of stabs and head butts while wondering if Hutch will make it home before dinner gets cold. In the 2021 'Nobody,' Hutch came out of professional killer retirement to take revenge on some Russian mobsters and burn up huge piles of their operating cash. Since then, he's had to pay off that debt to the remaining mob by taking down rival gangsters several times a week. He digs it — and wiping out a hotel elevator full of thugs releases the aggressive steam that gets this normally placid everyman in so much trouble — but the workload is taking its toll. Hutch rarely sees his realtor wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) during waking hours. His 17-year-old son Brady (Gage Munroe) and 12-year-old daughter Sammy (Paisley Cadorath) ignore him. What the Mansells need is a summer vacation together, Hutch decides. His boss, the Barber (Colin Salmon, smoothly intimidating as before) grants the time off, but warns his operative 'This job is in your nature and nature always wins.' Truer words and all that. With retired FBI agent granddad David (Christopher Lloyd) in tow, the fam heads to a tacky waterpark in fictional Plummerville, Wis. It's the only place David ever took Hutch and his adopted brother Harry (played as an adult by RZA again) when they were kids, and the faux tiki resort doesn't exactly live up to Hutch's idealized recollections. Plummerville is also a swamp of criminal activity, overseen at various levels by crooked Sheriff Abel (Colin Hanks with a whitewall haircut and uncharacteristically nasty), theme park heir Wyatt Martin (John Ortiz) and sadistic queenpin Lendina (Sharon Stone, having a ball chewing up scenery and expendable extras). When an arcade confrontation escalates thanks to Hutch's basic nature, the true Mansell vacay begins. Plummerville will never be the same, if any of it remains standing. Odenkirk is an expert now at toggling from well-meaning and mild-mannered to incredibly fast, harmful and ingenious about it. The 'Better Call Saul' star also effortlessly wrings laughs out of lines like 'I'm here with my family, making memories' before dispatching assailants with a duck boat anchor. He sounds so sincere. Hutch genuinely wants to keep Becca happy and guide Brady away from solving problems with his fists, both things the man's ferocious default setting impedes. None of this is particularly insightful character work, but franchise creator/co-scripter Derek Kolstad tries harder than most action film writers to generate a semblance of human interaction. The real life in 'Nobody 2' comes from Tjahjanto and his department heads. Cinematographer Callan Green gets cameras in close and shrewdly choreographed with the stuntwork. Michael Diner's production designs are a downscale Middle American dream; the aging amusement park proves a witty setting for the film's climactic booby-trap battle. Odenkirk is also one of these movies' producers, and he has a knack for giving distinctive international filmmakers their first Hollywood shots. Russian 'Hardcore Henry' director Ilya Naishuller went from the wintry first 'Nobody' to the recent, globetrotting thriller 'Heads of State.' Tjahjanto's future looks just as bright. Odenkirk is certainly somebody when it comes to spotting talent.

Fan Theories About Olivia Rodrigo's Third Album, Since the OR3 Era Is Nearly Upon Us
Olivia Rodrigo's discography is on heavy rotation 24/7, and fans have been anticipating her third album since she dropped her sophomore record, GUTS, back in 2023. O-Rod just wrapped up the GUTS era with a damn-near flawless festival run headlining Governor's Ball, Bonnaroo, and Osheaga. Now, she's given her dedicated Livies the confirmation they need that OR3 is on the way. In a newsletter shared with fans on August 11, the Grammy winner revealed that the GUTS chapter of her musical story has come to an end. 'The GUTS world tour is officially over!! thank u 4 making each and every show so special,' she wrote, in part, before sending fans into a spiral with a specifically placed '3' in the middle of her message. She continued, 'The end of the GUTS era feels bittersweet, but I'm sooooo excited for all that's y3t to come!!!! speaking of what's next... clear ur calendar tomorrow at 9 am pt for something special i've been working on to celebrate all our GUTS tour memories together.' That may have been the first time she confirmed a new era is upon us in writing, but after her headlining set at Osheaga on August 3, the artist ditched her signature GUTS rings and handed them out to fans in the crowd. 'rings off!!!!! that's a wrap on guts tour!!! until next time I love y'all💋🎸🎂,' she captioned a clip she posted to TikTok. She also wore a bedazzled '3' on her shirt that night, signaling her next era was coming. However, all the way back in July 2023, Liv revealed she was already conceptualizing her third album (yes, before GUTS even dropped in its entirety) during an interview with Open House Party. 'I've actually been thinking about it a lot,' she said at the time. 'I just barely finished GUTS, so I can't get too ahead of myself, but, yeah, I definitely am ideating. The wheels are spinning.' At the premiere of her GUTS World Tour film in 2024, Entertainment Tonight asked if her post-tour plans included working on OR3 and if it would be 'love inspired.' Her cheeky response: 'We'll see! You'll have to listen, tune in.' Olivia later told Harper's Bazaar, 'I love trying to distill my emotions into songs. It's one of my favorite things in the world, and I hope in the future I'll continue to make albums that are fresh and exciting to me creatively.' Ofc, she's been pretty tight-lipped about her upcoming project. We don't even know what it's called yet, but in the meantime, we can scroll through fan theories and see which ones could potentially come true. What SOUR and GUTS have in common—aside from their purple-tinted visuals, of course—is the fact that both albums have four-letter titles. As we hold out for OR3 announcement any day now, fans theorize that the album could be titled... Ahead of GUTS, a lot of theories pointed to SWEET as a contender. Fans are sticking with the theory for the OR3 era, which they feel will be inspired by her romance with Louis Partridge á la 'So American.' Others have ruled SWEET out entirely as it's a five-letter word. Some have theorized that OR3 will be called BURN and have a red-and-orange theme, as Liv has famously included fire in her music videos and on tour. She also introduced hints of red during the GUTS era. The most popular theory? That'd be LUCK. Tons of fans have picked up on Olivia's affinity for ladybugs and polka dots recently, and the insect is known to symbolize good luck. Her previous eras included butterfly imagery, so it seems likely that ladybugs can be introduced in the O-Rod universe, too. Olivia also said she was the 'luckiest girl alive' in an Instagram post celebrating her birthday. Ofc, she was decked out in polka dots and ladybug emojis were present in her caption.
