The Garage KL

This place is described as a petrolhead’s haven! You got that right. Located in Ampang Kuala Lumpur, the Garage KL is the brainchild of Tengku Azman. The built-parts are from stacks of containers with a unique landscape. This is the place where you can eat, shop, get a haircut, feast your eyes on vehicles and even send your car to the workshop! Talk about all in one. Not forgetting to mention, it is an “insta-grammable” spot as well. Besides all the activities, Garage KL also rents out event spaces for different types of functions.

Venue: Jalan Hillview, Taman Sri Ukay, 68000 Ampang, Selangor

The Gasket Alley

The ambience and design of this place is rugged and urban. This is the place for petrol-heads, custom motorcycles, dining and even getting a tattoo! In the evening, the place is filled with after-office hour peeps getting into the watering hole (If you get what I mean). If you are familiar with the famous “Tiffin & Riuh event 2019”, here’s where it is at. The Gasket Alley is a curated space founded by a group of friends in 2015. You can even test-ride the two oldest motorcycle brands at Moto Guzzi and Harley Davidson showroom.
