Eating out isn鈥檛 something we take for granted anymore. For KL-ites who aren鈥檛 ready to brave the 鈥渘ew normal鈥 yet (read: long queues and social distancing), here are some DIY food and beverage kits that will elevate your culinary experience from your home kitchen.
From gourmet burgers and baking sets to desserts and even booze, these kits can be delivered to your home in Kuala Lumpur.
Rotiboy DIY Home Bakers Kit
Can鈥檛 get dough to rise to save your life? Thankfully, you won鈥檛 鈥渒nead鈥 to be a highly skilled baker to bake your very own Malaysian icon – Rotiboy. These Mexican buns filled with butter and topped with a crisp layer of coffee cream are staple snacks for many Malaysians.
Rotiboy鈥檚 DIY Home Bakers Kit comes in four flavors – original, buttermilk, mocha, and cheese. Each kit has 15 pieces of frozen bread dough, cream topping, and chocolate chips or grated cheese nibs.

Aloft KL Sentral Readymade Cocktails
If you miss your weekly ladies鈥 night outs, the Aloft hotel in KL has boozy cocktail kits for your night-ins. There isn鈥檛 much to do, thankfully, the cocktail bags filled with alcoholic concoctions like rum, fruits, and spices have been heat-sealed.
All the DIY you鈥檒l have to do is mix the fruits with the booze and pour it into a glass. Non-booze fans may also opt for the fruit punch mocktail.

myBurgerLab MBL At Home
Whipping up a professional chef鈥檚 version of a gourmet burger takes precious time, and it may not turn out as you would have liked after all. The 鈥淢BL At Home鈥 kit can probably save you the trouble of a messy kitchen.
The gourmet food kit makes just enough beef or chicken burgers for two and comes with a free pint of ice cream because there鈥檚 always room for dessert. Also, according to myBurgerLab, in case your culinary skills ultimately fail, you can always eat the ice cream.
鈥淚f you fail and burn your burger.. no worries you still have a pint of free Inside Scoop ice cream. You can eat that and cry in the corner you noob,鈥 the Instagram said.
