Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery

malaysian · ★ Michelin

Memorabilia in show windows and a 60s soundtrack exude the charm of a bygone era. Chef Gaik Lean has been guarding her secret recipes for decades and she makes no compromises in terms of food quality. Many items are made from scratch, including her heavenly pie tee and gulai tumis that uses over eight ingredients in the curry paste, such as fresh saffron. Also try nasi ulam, an old-time recipe.

Bee See Heong

chinese

Since 1966, this simple shop has been welcoming hungry guests who fancy home-style Malaysian food. Every dish is made à la minute and you can hear the wok sizzling after you place your order. Specialties include prawn curry – nice and thick, it has a good kick that goes well with the prawns. The fried threadfin with a sweet black sauce is not to be missed! The crispy fish fillet in sticky caramel soy sauce stands out, too. Arrive early to beat the crowd.

Peranakan · Bib

Potted plants are set nicely against a background of exposed brick walls and industrial accents here. On top of the short à la carte menu, the Nyonya combo set built around pandan nasi lemak with your choice of toppings is especially popular. The rice is plated on a banana leaf and topped with mildly hot homemade sambal. Another speciality is Siam bihun – turmeric rice vermicelli with shredded omelette and sauces. Round out the meal with tub tim krob.

Street Food · Bib

They serve three noodle dishes: the signature green tom yum, noodle soup and fried noodles. The fresh green tom yum hits the right balance of sour and spicy. The fried fish topping has a crispy outer layer and a succulent centre; the large prawns have a moreish umami flavour.

My Own Café

malaysian · Bib

This charming family-run shop serves Penang asam laksa, Nyonya laksa and fried spring rolls. The light and refreshing red soup of the signature asam laksa strikes the right balance of sour and spicy and is nicely topped off with mint and pineapple. The spring rolls, stuffed with vegetable filling, taste equally good.

Kota Dine & Coffee (Fort Cornwallis)

Peranakan

It feels relaxing to sit in the glass-clad room drenched in natural light and furnished in faux-industrial style. In terms of food, they serve a neo-Nyonya menu with a strong East-meets-West concept. On top of Peranakan classics like otak-otak, Western influences are manifested in more adventurous creations such as laksa capellini. Even the desserts take a surprise twist, as in teh-ramisu that uses tea instead of coffee.

Gēn

$$$

Gēn is Chinese for root. The owner-chef revisits his culinary roots and childhood memories with nostalgic flavours and a tasting menu driven by local seasonal produce, especially fish, whose courses never fail to surprise. The plating is particularly pleasing, and sometimes playful, such as the silky chicken soup in a glass bottle. The wine list boasts over 30 organic and biodynamic tipples that complement the food perfectly.

Ali Nasi Lemak Daun Pisang

malaysian

This halal stall only sells nasi lemak: the national dish of coconut milk rice wrapped in banana leaf, topped with sambal and one of the six toppings. Try anchovies with a hard-boiled egg. And go easy on the fiery sambal.
