"An early venture opened in 2016 by a former business consultant that quickly garnered a Best New Restaurant nomination the following year and became known for classic Malaysian street dishes—most notably beloved spicy peanut‑sauced meat skewers. Located on Passyunk Avenue, the restaurant was ultimately forced to close when a pandemic-era rent hike made the space untenable, prompting the owner to pivot to other formats." - ByAlisha Miranda
"Head to Kampar in Bella Vista for a duck-filled twist on turkey day. They have a deboned duck loaded with leek and sausage or leek and mushroom stuffing. When it comes to the sidekicks, expect wagyu fat mashed potatoes with duck gravy, kale with pomegranate tahini dressing, root vegetable tart, and kopi buns. Desserts like cardamom cake with brown sugar and caramelized pears can be added to your order." - candis mclean
"Kampar, just off South Street, wants you to end the year in crab heaven. There's a four-course, $150-per-person tasting menu culminating with an all-you-can-eat chili snow crab legs feast (with a two-hour time limit). The Malaysian spot will also have a standard $75-per-person tasting if you want more of the chili pan mee and rendang daging from the daily menu." - candis mclean
"A spot offering bold Malaysian-inspired street-food creativity, highlighted by a Malaysian burger wrapped in a thin egg crepe that fuses textures and flavors in an unexpected format." - Regan Stephens
"A former restaurant (2016–2020) that earned critical acclaim and a 2017 James Beard Award nomination; it attracted diners with grilled skewers but kept them returning for a memorable nasi lemak, illustrating the place’s strong reputation for both satay and classic Malaysian comfort food." - Sharon McDonnell
