Hello foodies! We all know it by now, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. For some, it’s the perfect thing that motivates us to get up and out of bed to eat. So, considering the fact that it is the first meal of the day, it can either make or break your mood for the rest of the day. Here’s a list of cheap and good places to eat breakfast in KL 2020. Come on now, rise and shine…and eat!
8 Best Local Kopitiam and Hawker Stall Breakfast in Kuala Lumpur
1. Restoran Win Heng Seng
This hawker restaurant located right on Jalan Imbi is most famous for pork ball noodles. Served with a generous amount of minced meat and noodles that are soaked in thick dark soy sauce, this dish makes sweet and salty flavours all come together deliciously in a bite.
And, be sure to get yourself some freshly made egg tarts from Tai Zi Tart (located on the right hand side of the restaurant). Locals and the amount of people who drop by just to tapao their pastries will definitely convince you to try their flaky and buttery egg tart. The stall also sells other pastries like kaya puff and pineapple tart.
Restoran Win Heng Seng
Address: 183, Jalan Imbi, Imbi, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: Thursday to Tuesday, 6AM – 3PM, Closed on Wednesdays

2. Ho Kow Hainan Kopitiam
Originally from Lorong Pangung, this famous Hainanese Kopitiam has been around for over 60 years. Having recently moved to Petaling Street, you can now feast on nasi lemak, croissaint with meat floss and egg, curry chee cheong fun and even dry curry chicken noodles.
Moreover, their menu is rather extensive with many popular food items so you’ll be spoilt for choice.

3. Restoran Lai Foong
If you love lala, this bowl of noodles is for you! Fresh lala, bihun, and piping hot broth is comfort food at its best right here at Lai Foong. The broth is packed with flavour because it is boiled with rice wine, ginger, and fragrant soy sauce. But, most of the sweetness of the broth comes from the lala (clams) itself.
And, another popular pick would be Lai Foong Beef Noodles. It is equally as popular as their lala noodles – the number of locals and tourists there will prove it. So, if you prefer meat over seafood, opt for this bowl instead.
