Kampar
Ange Branca's reboot of Kampar in a bi-level space in Bella Vista is a celebration of traditional Malaysian street foods and Hakka cuisine. The second-floor kongsi (Malay social club) has an inventive bar program to accompany banana leaf bundles of nasi lemak rice, best with beef rendang and spicy achat pickles. There are handmade noodles, like the taro dumplings called suen poon che, which get stir-fried with wagyu beef, as well as flaky roti canai and whole fish roasted with house-made sambal in the wood-fired oven. Kampar also makes one of Philly's most distinctive burgers, the Ramly, wrapped with sambal and cabbage inside a sheer egg crepe — get it with a side of crispy chips drizzled in curry.
