Our Story

Conceived by three friends passionate about good food and good coffee, Red Kettle’s menu is a medley of both Western and Asian flavours with a contemporary touch. It’s a place envisioned for families and friends who would come time and again to enjoy quality comfort food without feeling ‘jelak’*

*JELAK (MALAYSIAN/INDONESIAN) – SATIATED BY A FOOD, PARTICULARLY A FOOD THAT IS TOO RICH, TO THE POINT THAT ONE FEELS REPULSED BY IT.

Our team of bakers and chefs work tirelessly behind the scenes producing most items in-house – from
freshly baked burger buns that hold the patties in place; to our homemade pork bacon and sausages; dips
and sauces, preservatives-free bread and cake selections. If you do hear an unsettling blare now and then,
please do not be alarmed, that’s just the bakery oven calling out its latest goodies.

Had a lovely dining experience at Red Kettle @ The Gardens. The Portuguese tart was a highlight — perfectly baked and truly melt-in-the-mouth. Food took a little longer to arrive, likely due to peak-hour crowd, but it was understandable.

The space is big, comfortable, and a huge plus for mums — they have a dedicated baby nursing area and nappy changing room, which made things very convenient.

We tried the smoked duck spaghetti and carbonara; both were decent and satisfying, with just the right portion size. The sea bass was very flavourful, though slightly on the salty side.

Overall, it was a great experience, made even better by the friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely come back 😊

The Portuguese egg tarts here are truly the best in KL! They melt in your mouth, with distinct layers that aren't too sweet—each bite is pure bliss! 😍 If I weren't worried about the calories, I could easily devour three in one go.

However, this restaurant also has its obvious drawbacks. The soundproofing is terrible, and during peak hours, it gets incredibly noisy. You have to raise your voice to talk, making it unsuitable for casual coffee conversations. 😅 The seating isn't very comfortable either; you'll find yourself shifting positions halfway through the chair, making it difficult to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Taste-wise, it's perfect, but the ambiance definitely needs improvement. The egg tarts are practically unbeatable; it's just the space that drags it down. But for that melt-in-your-mouth sensation, we'll still frequent this place. 👍

I enjoyed the food here — it was genuinely good.
However, I was quite disappointed with the service.

While I was still eating, a staff member came over twice asking if he could clear my plate. The second time, after I said I wasn’t done yet, he sighed and said “haiya” before walking away.

It made me feel like I was being rushed to finish my meal just so they could clean up early, which really affected the dining experience.

A lot of choices. Pretty full crowd. Taste above average for my fish. Wish it has a bit more sauce. Egg tart is lovely.

The seating service was poor. We had already sat down and our drinks had arrived, yet they still asked us to change seats.
I came twice, and both times they asked me to change tables.

Garlic bread: good. Mushroom soup: a bit salty and watery for my liking, lacks flavor, horrible considering it's rm29. Carbonara: somehow didn't like it, salty and tastes like mass produced cheese sauce. Chicken chop: bland, chicken tasteless and relies on the sauce only. Chicken was a tad undercooked too. Won't be returning. Branch at Starling is better.

Drop by to enjoy coffee and dessert.
Ordered a Vietnamese drip coffee, but it was served in a glass after dripped with 70% portion only.
Ordered an ice-cream, rum and raisin, thought it will be proper serving, however seems like it takes some time to defrost and it still have lots of ice on it when serving.

Food is fine, pretty much what you expected but I was there only once and that will be the last.....staff and store manager was very selective of their client by race, the western client gets better service. Very obviously allows 2 western client to take a table of 4 .... maybe simply cause they are slightly bigger and needed more space but....insist that asians are not allowed to take the table of 4 right next to the western client even if is available and were very rude to us indicating no other table if you don't listen to their instruction...but the table of 4 was available right next to the western client and no reservation ....im not referring to during the MCO...it was way before MCO. ....1 star rating is the max that it is worth for the service...it is not the food.... or the ambience or how expensive you look....bad service....that's just too bad...many other great restaurant appreciates local client much better than you do....

It’s funny - we’ve wandered through Starling Mall more times than we can count, shopping, eating, catching movies… yet Red Kettle somehow never blipped onto our radar until this weekend.

We’d tried their Gardens Mall branch before, so the menu wasn’t a mystery - but the string of negative reviews about the Starling outlet’s service did make us tread in cautiously.

Thankfully, our worries were unfounded. We were greeted with a bright, easy warmth and settled in quickly. Then arrived the parade: chicken chop, pastas, fish and chips - followed by a comforting hot chocolate and a waffle crowned with berries. The food landed solidly above average, each dish lifted with thoughtful little touches that showed someone in the kitchen cared.

And the dreaded “poor service”? Never appeared.

So now Red Kettle finally has a place on our Starling Mall map - a newfound option we’re genuinely glad to add to the rotation.

ordered here via beep app yesterday. took 2.5 hours to arrive. per the customer service i have talked to, it's due to 'the restaurant's late preparation and are overwhelmed with orders'.

no food is worth waiting 2.5 hours for, in my opinion. tried to cancel but since they have 'started' the preparation already, was not able to cancel.

after receiving my food, the rice was not properly cooked. the inside was still hard and same with the grilled corn. it was not cooked properly. and this is after i paid RM150+ , excluding the delivery fee.

after waiting for that long, they should have at least given me a properly cooked food.

you could have closed the option so no one could order online or just cancel the order if you can't do it within the acceptable time.

It's been awhile since Red Kettle moved from Taman Desa to The Gardens. This was my first as I "shy" away from MVC area (during to traffic and parking issues). The menu has expanded A LOT .. with more choices. Food was still decent and didn't scrounge on the portion. The was a difference in the Portuguese Tarts - lacking in aroma (from TD days), though still good but would much preferred the old taste and aroma. Environment wise can be rather noisy at peak hours like a fish market .. though they claim to have sound absorbing panels.

This place has some killer condiments. The dine-in oink roll was overpriced though and the sides on the dish were better than the pork which was just ok.

Interesting interior, already with lovely Xmas decors. It was not crowded during tea time. Food was average. Desserts was excellent. Tried the Dutch Baby and Fish & Chips. The batter for Fish & Chips was a little too thick but crispy. Onion rings were oily. Portion was good for both. Dutch Baby was like a big breakfast set.
Loved the Rum & Raisins cheese cake and Portugese Egg tart. They were perfect. Coffee was okay. They charged for warm water which tasted a little weird. Like time to change water filter.

Horrible staff and service. Food was so disappointing especially for the price they are charging. Staff was rude and gave absolutely no idea of customer service. Used to like their original store in Taman Desa … bitterly disappointed.

I dined in today and ordered a finger food and a glass of juice. When I made my payment at the cashier, I was initially greeted with friendly service and a smile. The staff also introduced some new products, which I politely declined.

However, after I said I wasn’t interested, the staff’s attitude changed noticeably — their expression turned disappointed and the warmth in their service disappeared. This was quite surprising, as the shift happened immediately.

I hope the management can look into this, as consistent and courteous service makes a big difference to the dining experience.

Didn’t have a full meal here but really enjoyed their portuguese 🇵🇹 egg tarts! The custard was gentle light just set not too sweet and goes beautifully well with the lightly salted short crust pastry! Coffee and the hot ginger tea was enjoyed as well.

Good food and atmosphere, for comfort dishes like pasta, big breakfasts etc. They serve pork and bacon for those craving for such. Coffee and cakes are good. This outlet is huge so plenty of seats available.
Iris Yap

The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting — perfect for a casual meal or a cozy catch-up with friends.

The Portuguese egg tarts are a standout — served hot and fresh, with a perfectly flaky crust and smooth, creamy custard filling. You can tell they’re made with care, and they’re best enjoyed right out of the oven.

I also tried the Cajun prawn with mantao, and it was flavorful. The prawns were juicy and well-seasoned, and the mantao buns were soft with a slight crisp.

Another dishes was the ayam percik — tender, aromatic, and packed with spices. It had that authentic grilled flavor and portion was generous too.

Overall, Red Kettle delivers on taste, presentation, and comfort.Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality and taste make it worth the splurge. Great for a treat-yourself kind of meal!

Recommended if you're looking for quality food in The Gardens Mall!

Me and my Wife came for dinner on 22nd Sept 2025 around 8pm +++. Upon arriving we was not greeted or welcomed despite not many tables or busy...To make things worst we had to raise our hands numerous time to make the orders they just look and walked past like they never looked at us. The food arrived abit late n in one of our dish there was hair and they didn't feel guilty hence I had 2 ask to compensate yet they didn't ask if we agree with what they compensating buy jz brought 2 tarts and said this is all they can offer to us which makes us more unhappy. No manager or assistant manager on duty when we ask wanna speak n told us all left early. What kinda operation they are running I have got no idea totally disappointed with the services!

Came here for a group lunch. The menu isn’t anything extraordinary – we just ordered what looked okay from the picture menu. The plating was nice, but the taste was just average. My friend ordered the pineapple coffee, which tasted a bit unusual, just as we expected when deciding to try it. Portion sizes are quite big, so I couldn’t finish one dish on my own. Overall, it’s okay – this is my third visit since it’s usually not too crowded, which makes it convenient for group dining without a reservation.

Ordered 3 items:

1) Red kettle Special: which is the iteration of egg yolk vietnamese coffee (I think), the coffee is pretty strong, overall quite good.

2) Classic Pork Chop: my expectation is this supposed to be like hainanese pork chop, but hmm the green peas did well it's not hard, it's a plus point, while the wedges at bottom is near perfection, crunchy on outside, soft on inside (can be softe). And the sauce hmm not something I like sadly, it has a bit of sweetness but lack of the tanginess, it also came with 2 but chunk of carrot on top. Lastly the pork chop, generous in portions, and it's pretty thin slice yet a bit slight chewy kind of texture, and biggest down point here is it lack of seasoning, maybe I am a 重口味 person, so it's sad that this not my favourite.

3) Portuguese egg tart: it's a bit sweet to my liking, the crust taste great almost like heavy taste of milk & butter(I think), and one let down is the crust falls apart easily, so better use your fork, I prefer to eat the tart with my hand.

Overall not bad, might come back for other food.

the food tasted good. Service was a little slow with some restrictions. I ordered a chicken chop, but the vegetables were burnt — the staff replaced it with just two pieces of vegetables, which was quite funny. I think they could improve on that and offer a better replacement. Otherwise, it was a decent experience.

The food taste is okay overall. It would be even better if the waiters could serve with a friendlier, smiley attitude. My chicken was unfortunately not fully cooked and still had some raw parts, but after informing the waiter, she promptly replaced it with a new plate. The environment is good — very spacious and comfortable for dining.

Red Kettle at The Gardens Mall has become a favorite spot for me and my colleagues — we’ve visited countless times and tried a variety of dishes, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good, and the prices are quite reasonable compared to other restaurants in the mall.

I especially love their egg tart, all the chops, spaghetti, and salads — everything is well-prepared and flavorful. The environment is cozy and comfortable, and even when the restaurant is full, it’s never too noisy for a good conversation.

After so many great visits, I feel like I owe Red Kettle a well-deserved five-star review!

Red Kettle｜A Hidden Gem at The Gardens Mall ☕🍴
📍 Located at the lower ground of the new wing – generous portions, great flavors, and Fish & Chips in my personal Top 3!

This cozy spot is tucked away in the newer area of The Gardens Mall, on the lower ground floor. Honestly, if you’re not intentionally heading in, it’s easy to miss from the inside — but funny enough, if you’re driving past the outside road, you’ll spot it right away! 😆

Once you walk in, you’ll be surprised by how spacious it is. Lots of seats, comfy atmosphere, and a relaxing vibe overall ✨

Here’s what we ordered👇🏻

🐟 Fish & Chips
✔️ Easily one of my Top 3 in KL!
The fish fillet was thick, fresh, and had zero fishy smell. The batter was just right — not too thick or greasy.
It came with hand-cut fries 🍟 and a few onion rings 🧅, which added a nice crunch.
The sauce? So generous! They gave us a whole bowl of it — no stinginess here. Perfect for dipping and super satisfying! 💯

🍗 Char Grilled Garlic Chicken
This one was a total surprise — in the best way!
The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The garlic sauce added depth and flavor.
It was served on a bed of millet (yes, millet!) with a variety of veggies — every bite was a new flavor and texture. Wholesome, hearty, and fulfilling! 🌾🥦

💰 While the prices are slightly on the higher side, the portion sizes are huge, making it actually quite worth it.
If you’re not a big eater, one main dish is enough for two people to share 👯‍♀️

Only downside was the service — the space is large, but there were only a few staff on duty, so we had to wait a bit when ordering or asking for water ⌛. Hope they’ll add more staff in the future!

We heard their Portuguese Tart is super famous, but we were way too full this time — definitely coming back to try it next round! 🥹

📌In short:
A high-quality café hidden in the heart of the mall — perfect for catch-ups, casual dates, or just treating yourself to a solid meal ❤️

Food is great! Portion is just nice. Great ambient, prefer dinner over lunch crowd as lunch can be pretty noisy but dinner is better. Food price is kinda pricey - it’s more than Madam Kwan just FYI. Drinks definitely overpriced. Toilet is definitely inconvenient as the restaurant is located at another side. For Service, I gave 4 star for the reason the place is huge with only a few staff.

I can't believe I've never left a review!

I came here almost every week last year when I had appointments nearby, and I still come here whenever I crave salads or when I'm just around the area.

Red Kettle serves the best salads with the widest variety, hands down. I tried their angel hair in broth once, but it wasn't for me (too mushy for my taste). Their Big Breakfast easily serves two with a generous spread of meats and breads.

The egg tarts are fantastic! I am *not* an egg tart person (normally can't stand the smell), but I found the egg tarts here so good that I refused to share my serving with my brother!

For drinks, I either opt for tea or go for the Vietnamese coffee that has a great aroma and taste. My stomach hasn't been able to tolerate a wide range of black coffee for years, and only a handful of places serves black coffee that I can consume without getting nausea 30 mins later. The Vietnamese is one of those that I can drink and feel alright after that.

The staff members are friendly, highly alert and observant, which makes it easy to get their attention to put in orders or ask for anything else. Ambiance is well lit, clean and air-conditioned.

The lunch crowd does add to the waiting time, but if one is not in a hurry, it's worth the wait. Price is on the higher end, but I'm happy to pay for the quality that I get.

Always a satisfying meal at the Red Kettle. Been here a few times and the food is great in big portions. I highly recommend their salt beef sandwich, pork chop and of course their egg tarts! The only downside is that in my latest visit, the mushroom soup was slightly too salty but we finished it anyway. Hope it will be better the next time. Other than that I think I don't really have any complains as the environment is great and service crew are attentive and helpful too. Just come early as it will get crowded by brunch.
