What started off as a small afternoon snack became my unexpected dinner…yes, another trip to Taco Bell in Kuala Lumpur.

Taco Bell In Kuala Lumpur

Last time I was in Kuala Lumpur I tried Taco Bell, enjoyed it, and figured I’d stop by again this trip, just for a little afternoon snack to tide me over until dinner. It had been several hours since I’d eaten and I had planned to get more Middle Eastern later on. In fact, walking from my hotel (the Hyatt Centric), I passed by Damascus, a shawarma restaurant that serves lamb shank, and Kunafa Crisp, a knafeh shop. Perfect, I thought! Notice here the lines were already out the door and down the street, and this was only 4:30 pm.

I got to Taco Bell at a nearby mall and noticed the restaurant was running a BOGO offer on several items.

A sucker for a good deal, I ordered the buy-one-get-one-free “Grilled Stuft Burrito” and a cheese quesadilla. Total cost for the three items? 24.25 Ringgit or less than 6 USD.

And thus my snack turned into dinner…

Later on as I walked back to my hotel, I thought I’d at least get some knafeh, but apparently hundreds of others had the same thought…

I do love Knafeh, but I’m not waiting an hour for it!

Next time, I’ll try to exercise more discipline…

I’m sharing about my whirlwind trip through Asia.

And no, this wasn’t my first trip to Taco Bell in Kuala Lumpur, below is a post I wrote on March 2, 2024.

I do have a known weakness for Taco Bell, one of my few indulgences in an otherwise regimented diet. Thankfully…or perhaps regrettably for my body…I found a Taco Bell in Kuala Lumpur near my hotel and decided to eat dinner there…

Yum: Taco Bell In Kuala Lumpur

I enjoyed eating at Taco Bell in Bangkok and was delighted (yes, delighted) to find that KL also has Taco Bells (several locations actually).

I chose the Avenue K Shopping Mall location, just a short walk from the Grand Hyatt KL.

While walking there, I came across Nando’s, which is my other favorite fast food. Nando’s is much healthier: a half chicken is a good source of lean protein and I did consider skipping Taco Bell altogether for Nando’s.

But no…I had to try Taco Bell and atoned for it with a six-mile bike ride when I returned to the hotel gym. That’s not a great way to justify putting toxins in your body like the crap at Taco Bell, but somehow I find a way to justify it…

Taco Bell was crowded…I think there would not be more than a dozen locations in Malaysia if people did not like it.

I ordered a chicken burrito and a cheese quesadilla…and was given a buzzer that would alert me when the food was ready.

It took about six minutes for the food to be ready.

The quesadilla didn’t have the creamy jalapeño sauce you find in the USA, but it was still quite acceptable, as was the chicken burrito.

In conclusion, a nice meal.
