Delicious Local Food Options

“During my stay at Hotel Classic By Venue, I was delighted to discover a plethora of dining options in the surrounding area. One highlight was the nearby ‘Hajah Maimunah’ which served some of the best Malay nasi padang I’ve ever had. The food was authentic and delicious, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. There was also a vibrant food court nearby that was open around the clock, allowing me to indulge in local dishes at any time.” view full review
