If you’ve been to Pasar Seni recently, you’ll know the area is already packed with aesthetic corners perfect for OOTD photos.
But now, there’s a brand-new spot that might just become KL’s next viral OOTD backdrop.
A giant mural bursting with colours and Malaysian food culture has just appeared along Jalan Kasturi near Pasar Seni, and it’s impossible to miss.
Think bright illustrations, playful details, and a whole lot of local flavour all packed into one massive wall.
And trust us, this isn’t just any mural.
Not just a mural, but a full-on colour explosion
At first glance, it already looks like a giant cultural masterpiece celebrating Malaysia’s iconic food scene.
But the more you stare at it, the more details you’ll start noticing; tiny illustrations, hidden elements, and fun little scenes that make the whole artwork feel alive.
That’s because the mural was designed as part of the Grab 5-Star Eats x Tourism Malaysia collaboration, turning it into more than just street art.
It’s actually meant to highlight Malaysia’s amazing food culture while giving people a fun way to discover new places to eat.
Here’s the challenge: Can you spot all 13 hidden local restaurant icons?
Okay, here’s where things get fun.
Hidden throughout the mural are 13 Grab 5-Star Eats restaurants cleverly illustrated inside the artwork.
So while you’re busy taking photos for Instagram or filming your TikTok, you might want to look a little closer.
See if you can spot all 13 hidden local restaurant icons.
It’s basically like a real-life scavenger hunt, except the prize is bragging rights if you manage to spot them all.
The vibe also shifts from day to night, so you might want to drop by in the evening to see the mural in a whole different light.
So the real question is:
How many can you find?
A mural that celebrates Malaysia’s food culture
The mural also ties into the Grab 5-Star Eats Food Guide, which highlights top-rated eateries across Malaysia.
Instead of a traditional food guide, this one lives inside the Grab app, making it easy for users to discover popular local spots, explore new places to eat, and plan their food adventures.
Considering how food plays a huge role in Malaysia’s tourism experience, the initiative also supports Visit Malaysia 2026 by showcasing the country’s diverse food culture to both locals and travellers.
Your next Pasar Seni photo spot might already be waiting
If you’re planning a trip to Pasar Seni soon, this mural is definitely worth checking out.
It’s located right along Jalan Kasturi, and fun fact, it sits directly in front of the newly opened Zus Coffee Pasar Seni, so you can easily grab a drink while admiring the artwork.
Snap some photos, take in the colourful details, and while you’re at it…
See if you can spot all 13 hidden local restaurant icons.
