Located at the cafe, Ground Coffee , Damansara Utama, Anon.kl is the newest restaurant in the scene. As reported by Malay Mail, Muhammad Adeeb Palil is the genius chef behind this eatery and his culinary experience is just as impressive as his cooking skills. The 27-year-old studied culinary at Malaysia's top private university, Taylor's University and sharpened his skills as an intern at the 5-star hotel Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur. He also worked at Nathalie's Gourmet Studio by the one and only Chef Nathalie Arbefeuille who was named Chef of the Year 2011 by Time Out Magazine.

Adeeb further expanded his professional career by working at La Bergerie in Toulouse, France and world-renowned Boulud Sud in New York owned by Michelin Chef, Daniel Boulud. Closer to home, he also gained more experience at Resorts World Sentosa's table65 in Singapore! Later, he was a culinary instructor at Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia in Selangor.

Combining his knowledge and skills, he launched Anon.kl in October 2021 and since then, guests are constantly eager to try out his menu as it is always fully booked.  What makes Anon.kl more unique and tempting is that it is only open during the weekends from 6pm-10pm! Although only for short hours compared to other restaurants, Adeeb's dishes will blow your mind and taste buds.
