This family business is now run by the third generation. Each aromatic plate of koay teow is fried to order and exudes wok hei. It tastes even better with a dab of chilli sauce. Optionally, add an over-easy egg or cheese on top.
The third-generation owner makes his famous laksa noodle soup according to his grandparents’ recipe dating back 50 years ago. The soup strikes a fine balance between sweetness, sourness and spiciness, while the cucumber, shallot and pineapple cut through the heat nicely. The starter platter is also worth-trying.

Sweeping ocean views are nicely framed by brick-red curtains, walls and upholstery. Since 1973, Feringgi Grill has attracted a discerning following and the room retains its old-world romantic charm. On the menu, seafood and Aussie Wagyu beef are popular choices, and nothing starts a meal more theatrically than the tomato soup – prepared tableside and, flambéed with a splash of gin for extra fragrance. The private room seats 20, making it perfect for banquets.

Located in Tanjung Tokong, Fatty Loh Chicken Rice is known for its antique decor and historic ambiance since 1969. Food quality is polarizing: while many praise the succulent poached and roasted chicken rice and herbal soup, others report hygiene issues such as sticky utensils and dirty tables, with extreme complaints about foul smells or burnt meat. Service utilizes WeChat/Alipay scanning for efficiency, though experiences vary. The restaurant attracts visitors via its Michelin recognition and unique interior, but consistency in food safety and taste remains debated. It suits travelers seeking a nostalgic atmosphere who can overlook potential hygiene inconsistencies.
Suitable for diners seeking a nostalgic antique atmosphere and Michelin recognition, provided they accept potential inconsistencies in hygiene and taste.
