4. Lucky Quan
Teleporting to the land of wonderful pho and also mouth-watering banh mi, we land ourselves in Lucky Quan, a Vietnamese restaurant that does a creditable job on bringing the flavours of Hanoi to its customers. Opening up the menu, you’d realise that they have quite an interesting number of dishes like ark clams, octopus noodles soup and purple yam soup with minced pork. We totally recommend trying!

6. Sin Chua Kee
Our favourite part of being a Malaysian Chinese has got to be the fact that there so many tze char spots around us that are affordable and yummy. Focusing their menu on seafood items has led them to be recognised for their crab dishes like the garlic cheese grab and chilli crab. Moreover, they too receive nothing but praises for their vegetable dishes. Salute to them for using the freshest ingredients!

7. Goon Wah
Constantly a popular spot for the locals to visit during the lunchtime due to the delightful claypot lou shu fun, a pro tip from us would be to swing by before noon. Besides claypot lou shu fun, customers can order fish head noodles soup too. Whichever that you order, we guarantee that it’s going to taste amazing!

8. Soon Lei
Another place for a satisfying piping hot fish head noodles in Kuchai Lama has to be this one right here. The milkiness from the long hours of cooking the soup is evident in every mouthful of soup, but remember it’s piping hot before you chow down. Furthermore, do check out the other grubs that they offer!

Expect your stomach to be filled to the brim when dining here with an extensive menu consisting of every staple Thai dish you can think of. It’s only right to bring the spotlight to the in-house signature dish, grilled squid which is not only chewy but appetizing as well. Due to it being grilled, every bite has a pleasant smokiness flavour to it.

“Dim sum”, the only reason why people are still dragging themselves off the bed early in the morning. Every dim sum you can think of, rest assured that they got it in the house. It’s just something about waking up early to have breakfast with family members. Those kinds of moments actually stay with you forever. So, appreciate them!
