Malay Buffet Institution
Restoran Rebung Dato' Chef Ismail
Bangsar (Jalan Tanglin, near KL Botanical Gardens per media source, see notes), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
People go for the sprawling, authentic kampung-style Malay buffet spread built around chef Ismail's own signature recipes, a rare traditional institution rather than a hotel-style buffet copy.

Caveats
Re-verified fresh this run, no changes to values needed. Re-fetched restoranrebungdatochefismail.com: confirms "DAILY OPERATION: Monday - Sunday 7.00am - 10.00pm" but the overall hours statement alone does not itself state the breakfast/lunch/dinner session breakdown, that breakdown comes only from chiefeater.com…
