Some nights, all you really want is something simple—a little escape from the routine. That’s what we found at GSC Velvet Cinemas, 163 Mont Kiara. A quiet dinner, a cozy movie, and the soft charm of old-school romance. Think: retro vibes, velvet seats, and a menu that brings local comfort food right to your cinema seat.
Set inside the chic 163 Retail Park, Velvet Cinemas feels like a throwback to a slower, sweeter time. It’s a boutique cinema with mood lighting, plush chairs, and a touch of vintage charm—just the kind of place that makes dinner and a movie feel special again.
For RM22.80 per set, the Feast of Togetherness offers a solid local meal with your movie experience. You get a choice of Ayam Kalio or Siakap Asam Pedas, served with white rice, vegetables, keropok ikan, and a tall glass of Sirap Banding.
It’s not fancy, but for the price—and the fact that you’re dining inside a cinema—it’s honestly a pretty good deal. Especially with the promo running until 30th April.
My partner chose the Ayam Kalio, a rich coconut curry chicken dish. The gravy was thick and creamy, leaning towards lemak-style rather than rendang. It was hearty, satisfying, and a nice pick if you're a fan of mellow, coconut-based sauces. Personally, I prefer the drier, more intense rendang—but this still held its own.
I went with the Siakap Asam Pedas, and you really can’t go wrong with this one. The gravy had that tangy, spicy kick you'd expect, and the siakap (barramundi) soaked it up well. It paired beautifully with the rice—comforting, familiar, and flavourful. Not over-the-top spicy, but enough to hit the right notes.
We caught the latest Rami Malek movie after dinner, and honestly, the entire experience felt cozy and effortless. The cinema wasn’t crowded, the ambience was relaxed, and there was this unspoken sense of nostalgia—like a flashback to weekend dates from years ago. No frills, just soft lighting, vintage aesthetics, and the simple joy of being together.
The food isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s hearty and honest, with a price tag that’s hard to beat for a cinema dining experience. If you’re looking for something different from your usual date night routine, this is worth checking out—especially while the Feast of Togetherness promo is still around.
