A firm favourite with the locals, Foong Lian has been feeding hungry diners claypot rice cooked over charcoal since 1986. The experienced chef uses two kinds of rice and controls the heat meticulously so that every pot is perfect. Try the preserved meat option with pork and liver sausage that perfume the rice with flavourful grease or top up with chicken leg and salted fish. Soups and snacks like tofu skin roll are also recommended.

Dewakan means “food from God”, and chef Darren Teoh crafts a heavenly dining experience that is Malaysian down to its very core. Every ingredient is locally sourced; even the dinnerware is handmade by local artists. The tasting menu features many items that are fermented or dry-aged in-house, alongside seasonal fruits and herbs. Stunningly located on the 48th floor, diners enjoy jaw-dropping city views.

This place is always packed with customers craving seafood noodles. Only the freshest catch makes it to the table because the owner also runs a seafood stall nearby. Pick your favourite fish, shellfish or a combination of both. Then choose from the eight types of noodles and five types of soup bases on offer. If you find the menu hard to navigate, go for one of the popular combinations such as mixed seafood noodles or fish head noodle soup with milk.

Open for just a few hours a day, this stall attracts foodies in droves with its coveted siew yok – roast pork with crackling skin and succulent meat. Arrive early and wait for the pork to come out of the oven at noon sharp.

This 30-year-old shop makes its own bak kut teh daily at 5 am with a blend of 16 Chinese herbs. The soup may look a bit on the dark side, but it boasts not only aromas and flavours, but also health benefits. In addition to the typical spareribs, you may choose other pork cuts, such as tripe, intestine or belly. Or, you may add mushrooms or deep-fried tofu skin to the health tonic served in claypot. Side dishes of fish or veggies are also good.

The theatrical dining room is quite stunning, and the chef adds drama to local favourites with modern techniques and meticulous plating. His "Tour of Malaysia" menu celebrates the breadth and depth of the country's culinary heritage – even more enjoyable with cocktail and wine pairings. Consider ordering the add-on abalone Lawas rice – creamy Sarawakian heirloom rice topped with abalone cubes, briny caviar and a dash of kaffir lime oil.

The sister establishment of Kayra stays true to its sea-to-plate ethos, and the turquoise accents in the décor are a nod to the ocean theme. The kitchen excels at reimagining the traditional dishes of Kerala in sophisticated ways. Quality seafood and produce are sourced locally to support small farms and fishermen. The must-try Kerala fish curry is based on a family recipe, with raw mango and yoghurt for acidity. Order naan to mop up the tangy sauce.
