If you are a true foodie, you’ve probably heard of the iconic Hakka restaurant. They offer a variety of dishes from seafood to meat dishes and it is a definite delight to the taste buds. Situated right across the fashionable Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, the family-run Hakka Restaurant has served authentic Hakka cuisine since 1956. That was approximately 66 years ago!
That is why we are sad to hear that Pavilion Group’s Tan Sri Desmond Lim has bought off the 3.25 acres of land, which is exactly where the Hakka Restaurant currently stands. Many speculations are being made about Hakka Restaurant’s situation but no actual confirmed news is available.
The said 3.25 acres of land is sold at a whopping RM4,000 per square foot. Therefore, the real estate mogul Tan Sri Desmond Lim must have spent a total of RM556 million on the land. Looking into the mind of a real estate mogul, it is probably worth buying because of the strategic location within Kuala Lumpur’s golden triangle. The location itself would double or even triple the initial pay-off.
There have been rumours that Pavilion Group may be planning to extend Pavilion Mall nearby as part of a new project. Some even claimed that the venerable restaurant would be demolished in favour of the construction of a brand-new mall or a bridge to connect to Pavilion Mall. In any case, this transaction has surprised some online users, and many of them have expressed sadness if Hakka Restaurant were to close down or move out.
If you are sad and want to show Hakka Restaurant some support, stop by Jalan Raja Chulan and try out their authentic delicious cuisines! Do note that the food are non-halal as they serve both alcohol and pork.
Located at 90, Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
