KUALA LUMPUR: These days, it’s not unusual to see restaurants and cafés rocking the open-brick look. It adds personality – a sense of groundedness and rustic charm.
Often, it’s a deliberate design choice: fresh paint stripped away, bricks exposed, and concrete left bare to create a “raw” aesthetic.
At Liku-Likoo, though, the look isn’t designed – it’s inherited. Tucked away behind Berjaya Times Square in the city centre here, this new restaurant, which opened in April, greets you with what seems like an abandoned building.
