The best noodle dishes in Kuala Lumpur
Why we love it As far as comfort food goes, Hokkien mee is high up on our list. Here, the thick noodles arrive presented on a banana leaf-lined plate, lacquered in dark soy sauce, glistening with lard, and kissed with unmistakable wok hei – an indulgence steeped in history and flavour. Best paired with a dollop of red sambal.
Time Out tip Make your way upstairs to the first floor for air-conditioning. A seat by the windows should also allow you a perch over Petaling Street for people-watching.

US-Iran Nuclear Talks To Restart In Oslo Next Week - Trump Willing To Talk Directly
The United States and Iran are poised to resume negotiations over Iran's nuclear program in Oslo next week, Axios has reported, citing 'sources familiar with the discussions.' It would be the first face-to-face meeting after last month's Israeli-US war on Iran — which was launched as nuclear discussions were still very much underway. Talking to reporters on Thursday, President Trump acknowledged the mutual desire to resume talks, and Trump said he'd be willing to personally participate 'if necessary.' While the date has not been finalized, and neither country has yet to confirm the news, the sources say US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff will meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. At the heart of the impasse is America's insistence that Iran must stop enriching uranium, an undertaking that Iran insists is its right as a sovereign country and signatory (unlike Israel) to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In a Tuesday call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin endorsed Iran's 'legitimate right to develop peaceful nuclear technology' under supervision of the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA). In another important development, Araghchi decried as 'fake news' reports that Iran was suspending its cooperation with the IAEA. (Note that the key originator of those reports was seemingly Iran's own state television.) Via a post on X, the foreign minister clarified that a new Iranian law 'sparked by the unlawful attacks against our nuclear facilities' requires that coordination with the IAEA must 'be channeled through Iran's Supreme National Security Council for obvious safety and security reasons.' The Israel-initiated war on Iran culminated in the United States launching an attack on three Iranian nuclear sites, with B-2 bombers dropping 14 20,000-pound bombs on the Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant situated under a mountain. Trump proclaimed the attacks had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program; in the latest claim, the administration says the timetable by which Iran could assemble a nuclear weapon ( if it decided to) was set back by close to two years. 🇺🇸💥🇮🇷 Iran has been busy at the Fordow nuclear facility. Recent satellite BEFORE AND AFTER images captured by Maxar show a buildup of construction equipment near the underground sites nuclear targeted by U.S. strikes in June. The full extent of the damage done to Iran's nuclear… — Defense Intelligence (@DI313_) July 2, 2025 As Trump prepared to board Air Force One en route to a rally in Iowa on Thursday, he told reporters he was willing to engage in diplomacy himself if that's what it takes to move on: 'Iran does want to speak and I think they'd like to speak to me, and it's time that they do. We're not looking to hurt them, we're looking to let them be a country again. They got beat up — [Iran and Israel] were both exhausted, frankly — but Iran really got beat up….They want to meet, and if it's necessary, I'll do it, but Steve (Witkoff) is very much involved and he's done a fantastic job.' Questions remain about the status of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium. Before the attack on Fordow, satellites captured images of a line of cargo trucks outside the facility, and an Iranian official has claimed that the US bombing 'didn't [deliver] a major blow because the materials had already been taken out.' However, US and Israeli officials claim the uranium, by having been bombed, is now 'sealed off from the outside world.' Even if that's true, that state of affairs would seem to be highly fleeting, given Iran's ability to simply dig it back up. REPORTER: Do you still want the US to take over Gaza?TRUMP: I want the people of Gaza to be safe. They're gone through hell — RT (@RT_com) July 3, 2025 The seeds of today's impasse were sown in May 2018, when Trump withdrew the United States from the nuclear deal that had been negotiated between Iran and various Western governments and signed in 2015. Under that deal, Iran agreed to a wide array of safeguards. They included eliminating its medium-enriched uranium, reducing its low-enriched uranium inventory by 98%, capping future enrichment at 3.67%, slashing its number of centrifuges, submitting to enhanced external monitoring and rendering its heavy-water reactor unusable by pouring concrete in it. At the time of Trump's withdrawal, Iran was in full compliance, according to the IAEA. In response to the re-imposition of US sanctions, Iran began straying from the deal's terms — most significantly, by enriching some uranium to 60% –seemingly pushing the only lever it had to bring the deal back and get out from under sanctions that have sapped Iran's economy and inflicted a harsh toll on innocent Iranian citizens. Notably, Israel launched its June 13 surprise bombing-and-assassination attack just two days before American and Iranian diplomats were scheduled to hold a sixth round of discussions in Oman, and President Trump claimed he knew the date of Israel's attack in advance. 'How can we trust the Americans?' Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi asked NBC . 'We want them to explain as to why they misled us, why they took such an egregious action against our people…We are for diplomacy,' but the Trump administration must 'convince us that they are not going to use military force while we are negotiating.'

Bridal Waltz's stunning upset over She's An Artist in Creswick Stake no surprise to Peter Moody
Bridal Waltz flipped the script on hot favourite She's An Artist to win the Listed AR Creswick Stakes (1200m) at Flemington Saturday. The Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained filly led the field up and refused to wilt as She's An Artist chipped away late. Bridal Waltz finished third behind She's An Artist the start prior but could not be headed on Saturday as jockey Jamie Melham indicated a two-week turnaround potentially worked against the favourite. 'She went into that (last start) probably slightly underdone and was ready to peak today,' Moody said. 'Obviously respectful of the two that beat her comfortably the other day (She's An Artist and Fieldelo) but we thought we were in the wrong part of the track too. 'We were quietly confident we could turn it around, we just had to hope the favourite maybe wasn't as good as the hype.' Bridal Waltz 😲😲 The Melhams battled it out down the straight as odds-on favourite She's An Artist loomed to win for Jamie, but couldn't get past Bridal Waltz for Ben! You couldn't script it (and most punters didn't!) ðŸ'°ðŸ'ƒ @BMelham @moodyracingpgm â€' 7HorseRacing ðŸ�Ž (@7horseracing) July 5, 2025 She's An Artist started $1.30 favourite but could not reel in $13 chance Bridal Waltz. Duchess Zou finished off nicely to grab third from Fieldelo. Moody said Bridal Waltz would be freshened up for early spring targets. 'We'll let the dust settle and then pick our mark carefully through the spring,' Moody said. 'We won't get too excited, Listed (today) if we could work on Group 3, Group 2, we know she can run down the Flemington straight. 'The Bobbie Lewis is a nice race where some other horses are maybe getting ready for bigger targets if you're ready for the day you can maybe sneak one of those.' Jockey Ben Melham controlled the race from the outset. 'We drew the right barrier to control the speed, I felt from that draw I'd be able to dictate the rest of the field,' Melham said. 'That was probably the difference, in saying that though, my filly dug really deep when I needed her to. 'I was able to control the race, control the speed, she's a fit horse, and let down too good for them in the end.' Melham joked about the potential repercussions of upstaging wife Jamie, the rider of She's An Artist. 'I'd be a fair chance of sleeping in the spare room, I'd imagine,' Melham laughed. Jamie Melham told stewards She's An Artist raced well but two weeks between runs blunted her finish being only a small filly.

Michael Madsen, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill star, dies at 67
Los Angeles: Michael Madsen, the actor best known for his coolly menacing, steely-eyed, often sadistic characters in the films of Quentin Tarantino, including Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, has died. Madsen was found unresponsive at his home in Malibu, California on Thursday morning (Friday AEST) and pronounced dead, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander Christopher Jauregui said. He is believed to have died of natural causes, and authorities do not suspect any foul play was involved. Madsen's manager Ron Smith said cardiac arrest was the apparent cause. He was 67. Madsen's career spanned more than 300 credits, stretching back to the early 1980s, with many of them in low-budget films and independent films. He often played low-level thugs, gangsters and shady cops in small roles. Tarantino would use that identity but make him a main character. His torture of a captured police officer in Tarantino's 1992 directorial debut Reservoir Dogs, in which Madsen's black-suited bank robber Vic 'Mr Blonde' Vega severs the man's ear while dancing to Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle with You, was an early career-defining moment for both director and actor. He would become a Tarantino regular. He had a small role as the cowboy-hatted desert dweller Budd, a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, in 2003's Kill Bill: Vol. 1, then a starring role the following year in the sequel, in which he battles Uma Thurman's protagonist The Bride and buries her alive. Madsen also appeared in Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. He was an alternate choice to play the hit man role that revived John Travolta's career in 1994's Pulp Fiction. The character, Vincent Vega, is the brother of Madsen's Reservoir Dogs robber in Tarantino's cinematic universe. Madsen was born in Chicago to a family of three children. His sister is Oscar-nominated Sideways actor Virginia Madsen.
