Keen on cocktails, dim sum and DJs? Swing by for your fix of oriental charm in the heart of the city at Baijiu KL, another recent addition to rejuvenated Chinatown Kuala Lumpur.

Essentially named after baijiu (Chinese white liquor usually distilled from fermented sorghum, although other grains may be used), it is located in a heritage shophouse off Petaling Street in the increasingly popular Kwai Chai Hong.
