Established in 2015 by Spanish chef-owner Roberto Solanes, Palillos is famed for its Japanese-style skewers that incorporate Spanish influences. The clue lies in the name – Palillos literally means ‘sticks’ in Spanish, but can also be interpreted as ‘chopsticks’ – thus hinting at its East-meets-West offerings. Palillos Bar Kuala Lumpur specialises in Japanese yakitori with a Spanish flair as well as a wide range of cocktails, sakes, and Spanish wines.
