Eat X Dignity

Top choice in Kuala Lumpur


Barack Obama visited this worthy project run by Dignity, a Malaysian foundation providing education for the poor and refugees. Students gain work experience at this attractive cafe, which serves excellent renditions of local favourites, including nasi lemak and laksa, alongside salads, burgers and pasta.

Some of the ingredients are grown in small kitchen gardens that students tend in front of the restaurant and on the roof of the building. Ask them also to show you their other projects in the complex: the Cut X Dignity hair salon and the Sew X Dignity sewing shop – two more places where teenage students receive skills training.
