Chinatown / Petaling Street · Kuala Lumpur

Serving out of a narrow back lane off Petaling Street for decades, this stall ladles a Nyonya-recipe curry broth thick with coconut milk over noodles, cockles, tau pok and fish cake. Once named among Lonely Planet's top 500 eating experiences worldwide, it still draws long queues before it sells out in the early afternoon.
🙂 Can try — we've eaten here
Average to decent on our visit — worth a stop if you're already nearby, but not one to travel across town for.
