Order: Seasonal tasting menu built on indigenous Malaysian produce

Order: Roti bakar with house kaya, Hainanese chicken chop, roti babi

KL's grand old Hainanese coffee shop, run by the same family for nearly a century. The kaya is cooked in-house, the chicken chop is a weekend ritual and the marble cake goes home in boxes.

🐖 Non-halalRM15–RM40

Order: Charcoal-roasted siew yoke with crackling skin

KL's siew yoke benchmark: the boss marinates, roasts over charcoal and chops every slab himself. The crackling shatters, the meat stays juicy, and it's usually all gone within about three hours of the noon opening. Bib Gourmand since Michelin's first KL guide.
