1Medan Selera Presint 9 Vie Score 90
The one to send someone to
90/100
Why it is our number one: We consider the Putrajaya Presint areas as a treasure trove for honest, low-cost street food and budget-friendly lunches for office workers. Go for the RM7 porridge that feels like a meal for two or the specialized sandwich that rivals international chains at a fraction of the cost.

Worth going out of your way for
78/100
Why it made the list: We recommend visiting the food court specifically for Madam Wu's Roti Beef. It is a rare find that satisfies both as a snack and a heavy lunch, standing out in a food court that otherwise gets mixed reviews for service speed.

We are not giving this one a Vie Score: only 2 people have posted about it for this dish, and we do not score anything under 3. It is on the list because what we did find is worth knowing.
Why it made the list: We recommend this as Putrajaya's primary late-night food hub. While service can be slow when busy, the sheer variety of options like Madam Wu's Roti Beef and the Daging Masak Salai makes it the most reliable spot for a diverse group.

Why it made the list: This is the spot for a relaxed afternoon meal with local Putrajaya residents. Skip the hype and go for the Korean chicken or the nasi khaomok, which locals actually stand by.

Why it made the list: This is a must for those who love novelty street food. The Murtabak Kahwin is a clever hybrid of original and cheese flavors that works perfectly for a heavy evening snack.

Popular in Putrajaya, but not for local food
