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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Once a factory, this space furnished in retro industrial style fizzes with energy – not only because of the sizzling charcoal grill in the open kitchen, but also the fun, passionate service team. Chargrilled meats, seafood, and vegetables are the main event; the wild-caught giant shrimps with crispy garlic crumbles and chilli oil are a very popular choice. The warm banana cake with Baileys ice cream presents interesting contrasts in temperature.

The discreet entrance and stairway may appear shabby, but the lofty, retro restaurant space on the upper floor of this heritage building (1937) is nothing short of sublime. The short Australian-inspired menu features over 10 appetisers and mains, made using organic produce from local indoor farms and its own garden. The speciality is seafood, and the crayfish and prawn étouffée tagliatelle stands out for its deep umami. Reservations are a must.
