Food and accommodation for expats

As a mentioned in previous post, there is a wide variety of food and accommodation in Kuala lumpur. About food, I should say that  if I were in your shoes, I would cook at home rather than eating out (as I do) because of two reasons: lower cost and higher quality. However, if you are busy to cook, the second best choice could be Pakistani and Indian restaurants.
About accommodation, the common rule for house rental is (rental deposit = 2 months rental) + (utilities deposit = 0.5 month deposit) as deposit and contracts are normally in yearly basis. If you drive, you can find cheaper (but nice) accommodation in suburbs. Otherwise try to rent a room/house close to LRT/Monorail/Bus station as taxi is quite expensive.
Sharing a unit is more economical than renting a room or studio; but the best way is getting a unit and renting out the extra rooms.
