About this place
Damansara and Hartamas are upscale residential suburbs west of central Kuala Lumpur that offer a relaxed, local-flavored escape from the city's core. While not home to major tourist sights, the area provides an authentic slice of KL life and is a favorite among expatriates.
The highlight is Desa Sri Hartamas, a compact dining hub where you can taste your way through surprisingly authentic international cuisines — especially Korean and Chinese steamboat — at affordable prices. The neighborhood seamlessly blends into the adjacent city of Petaling Jaya.
