Thoughts: KL Sentral is at K15 (5th stop from KLCC K10), which is 1/5 of USJ 21 at K24. Stopped by to hunt for lunch today at Nu Sentral and this is the first time I stepped into this Mall since its opening in 2014! It is another big ubiquitous KL mall. 
Finally decided on Level 5's Peranakan/Baba Nyonya Restaurant. Ordered the 班藍椰香蒸钣 Nasi Pandan Kukus where it comes with 2 pcs of 班兰鸡 Pandan Chicken, it comes with the usual Nasi Lemak's boild egg, anchovies, and roasted nuts but with a few pieces of 羊角豆 Okra. The sambal is fantastics, goes well with everything on the plate. I think the rice is cooked with coconut and pandan flavors.   
For drinks I ordered the 沉香苶 Gaharu Tea. Gaharu Tea is from Gaharu Trees which are only planted in 务边 Gopeng's 務邊沉香山茶園 Gaharu Tea Valley. Gaharu Tea is an endangered species acoording to the company's website. Gaharu also called Agar Tea, Oud Tea, or Eaglewood, or ChenXiang, (沉香), has many beneficial and healing properties. Gaharu has played a vast and significant role in Middle Eastern, Chinese and 阿育吠陀 Ayurvedic (Buddhism) cultures and the earliest documented use of Eaglewood was in 600 AD but its existence in the medicinal world seems to go way beyond these records. (click here to see the benefits of it) Interesting Tea with healing and detoxification properties!  
Review: 7 / 10 👍👍😋😋
