Momo Yakitori at TRX serves Muslim-friendly Japanese skewers in a retro train — RM2 bento every weekend

If you're wondering which mall to keep an eye on in KL, The Exchange TRX is definitely one to watch. Exciting food spots are opening there all the time, and one of them is Momo Yakitori, located at Market Lane. Even from the outside, you'll quickly get the theme: a retro Japanese train station. It's a small place, but you can grab one of their mini fans to cool off. Take a seat next to their digital 'window,' which makes it feel like you're riding on a train in Japan. The main star here is yakitori: grilled skewers of meat, seafood, and vegetables. While Momo Yakitori isn't halal-certified just yet, all the ingredients they use are, so it's Muslim-friendly. The skewers are cooked using an automated high-tech grill from Malaysia and dipped in authentic yakitori sauce all the way from Nagano, Japan. You can order individual skewers or go for a bento set, where you get to pick 5 skewers with rice. We tried their Speciality Bento (RM25.90), which came with flavoured sushi rice and skewers like Japanese A5 wagyu, chicken with pepper, ladyfingers, and our favourite— golden crab stick. The wagyu was juicy and tender, though a bit rich if you're not big on beef. The rice was sweet, sticky, and perfect with the pickled ginger on the side. We also tried a few extras: Tamago Yaki with Mentaiko (RM7), Chicken Ball with Cheese (RM7), Takoyaki (RM6.50), and Seafood Pancake (RM5.50). The tamago was torched right in front of us and turned out soft and fluffy. But the real winner was the crunchy and juicy Seafood Pancake. Once you're done eating, take a look at their merch corner. They've got cute cat-themed keychains and even blind bags if you like surprises. Oh, and don't forget to grab one of their postcards. You can write a message, stamp it, and drop it in their mailbox. They'll mail it for you anywhere in Malaysia. If you're planning a visit, here's a bonus: every Friday to Sunday this summer, you can get a second bento for just RM2. Grab them while stocks last!
