I have always heard about this place at Hulu Langat which has a fantastic Kuala Lumpur view. Some said its at Ampang while others said its at Cheras. For me it seems more like nearer to Cheras, maybe because I exit from the Cheras (Pandan Indah) of MRR2.
Its not that difficult to go:-
1) Direct from MRR2 (if you come from Ampang, go towards the Cheras direction) and exit at the Pandan Indah Interchange Junction. Please take note its "after" the Pandan Indah flyover junction.
2) After turn left from MRR2, go all the way straight and pass by Steven Corner too. Along the way you will see the first Esso on your left. Before you reach Esso the road is a bit up hill and you have to turn right "immediately" at the Esso traffic light junction. We missed this junction at the first attempt. To be save you can keep to the right or U-turn if you missed the junction.
3) Go straight you will pass by a Mc Donald on your right. Go all the way straight and take note on your left there is a Putri Park Plaza. Turn left immediately after Putri Park Plaza. If you really miss this turning, you will see Petronas on your right.
4) After the Putri Park Plaza turning, go straight until the second traffic light and turn right at here.
5) Go all the way straight you will see the "Menara Tinjau (Look Out Point)" sign board. You need to drive about 3 km on a dark and winding road before you read the look out point. Although this road is dark, you will see many other cars along it. So you can rest assure that its pretty safe.
6) The Look Out Point is just on your right. You can decide to park road side (free) and wait up. I haven't try this before but I believe its a decent 15minutes walk to the restaurant. However if you going there for a date, perhaps you shall drive up there by paying RM2 for the parking.

There are 3 restaurants there:
1) Look Out Point Restaurant
2) Gasoline
3) Bread And Olive Restaurant
I only manage to try Look Out Point Restaurant. Despite going on holiday season (which I will easily think most people are in home town instead of KL), its quite packed. I think the seats are abit too close to each other. However I guess everyone is just trying to get the best of view. Of course we got one of the best seats - the corner sits which has the best KL view. This restaurant opens in late morning until 1am (or 2am of many customers). To my suprise, the foods are quite reasonable. Chicken or lamp chop around RM13-RM20 only. Considering this type of environment, I would think the price is infact very affordable. For me, I ordered a giant size water melon juice. By the way the sizzing chicken chop that I ordered is quite nice too and infact most popular. This restaurant has the best view of all.
Under Look Out Point Restaurant is Gasoline. Gasoline is a franchise restaurant with other branches at Sungai Wang, Times Square and Sunway Plaza. They serve variesties of food ranging from Western, Chinese and Malay food. The food should be slightly cheaper than Look Out Point Restaurant. However the view is not as good. To be frank, I think gasoline tastes so so only.
Finally is Bread And Olive Restaurant. This restaurant is quite empty. View is also not as good that's why there are not many people there. From the setup I think the price will be slightly expensive.
I seriously recommend everyone to go this place. From view, weather and food, they are all fantastic.
