With the government’s announcement that fully vaccinated people in the Klang Valley can start dining in at restaurants again, many of us are looking forward to finally eat out again.
But at the same time, there are many more that are aching to be out but are hesitant or even worried about health and safety. We don’t blame you.
Perhaps it would make you feel slightly more at ease to know that some eateries have implemented extra measures such as having fully vaccinated staff and frequent testing, to name a few.
So, whether it is date night or a treat for yourself and your family, here is a list of eateries where you can have a good time while feeling safe dining out again:
