Nice places to have lunch:
1. CHOW KOAY TIEW - Jalan Imbi : the corner restaurant which is on the same row with Sakura, and opposite of Honda Kah Motor.
2. WANTAN MEE / KARI MEE - End of old Subang airport road, in the Subang New Village Town Centre.
3. TAPIOCA NOODLES & VEGETABLES - Old Klang Road : a shack which is nestled behind a chinese primary school, after the market and the post office (which would be on your left).
4. KARI MEE (LEMAK) - SS1, Petaling Jaya : Alisan Restaurant (2nd shop from corner), facing the Lorenzo Furniture Shop.
5. ROAST DUCK RICE - Seapark : Sunrise Coffee Shop
6. PRAWN MEE / KARI MEE / CHEE CHEONG FUN - Seapark : Coffee Shop near old Paramount Theatre.
7. CHICKEN RICE - Seapark : Coffee Shop opposite Seapark Market, run by 2 ladies whose husbands have since died.
8. FISH HEAD BEE HOON - Jln Gasing, Petaling Jaya : Seng Kee Restaurant, in row of shops behind Lotus Restaurant.
9. MISCELLANEOUS - SS24 Tmn Megah : take the LDP and exit left after the Kelana Jaya LRT Station (towards "SS24"). a hawker centre with over 70 hawker stalls (!!) all serving different dishes, no duplicates (!!), which boast the best of each kind in town (!!) not too difficult to locate.
10. YONG TAU FU - Ampang New Town/Ampang Village (there are 3 shops, so have your pick)
11. PAN MEE - Along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman behind Kah Motors
12. HOKKIEN MEE - Petaling Street opposite Hong Leong Bank
13. CHAR SIEW RICE - Jalan Tung Shin
14. NASI KANDAR - Kayu Nasi Kandar Restaurant in Taipan, Subang with a branch in SS2 a coffee shop formerly known as Cheow Yang
15. Pork noddle (square shape type) - Jalan Imbi corner shop
16. Teh Tarak & roti - Taman Desa next to the water tank
17. If money is not an issue - Madam Kwan (Nasi Lemak & curry fish head)
18. Little Penang (chow Koay Tiew & Prawn mee)
19. Bak kut teh - Jalan Imbi behind hong leong bank
20. Satay - Naan Corner in Ampang, in between International School and RSPCA, called Nur Satay.
21. Banana Leaf - Kanna Curry House in Sec17, behind Lisa De Inn hotel
22. Nasi Lemak - Suzi corner, next to Ampang city (used to be called Kerris)
23. Won Ton Mien/Char Siew ? Jalan Sungai Besi; on the way to PLUS. Only open at 7pm-2am, a car repair shop by day.
24. Beef Brisket noodles ? Tengkat Tong Shin; runs parallel to Jalan Alor. Stall near the beginning of the road. Open at night till late.
25. Char Siew/Chicken rice ? Tengkat Tong Shin; further up the road. Old prewar shophouse. This has to be the drop dead unhealthiest piece of anything you can insert in your mouth in KL? but to die for. Chicken is strictly as
filler to make sure you don't get a heart attack overdosing on char siew.
26. Fishballs ? Tengkat Tong Shin; a little further up the road from char siew. Stall inside a coffee shop. This guy is good ? look at the amount of
people he employs to help out!
27. Hokkien mee (KL style ? thick, black, yummy (sounds kinky))? Petaling Street; at the intersection opposite Hong Leong Bank. Full of porcine goodness. Still the gold standard of Hokkien mee.
28. Seafood noodles ? Segambut; near to Auto Bavaria. A big bowl full of noodles and assorted mussels, prawns, cuttlefish, fish etc? for reasonable price. Pick of soup ? clear, tom yam, curry. Forget the rest, go for the curry. Soya bean with cincau not bad. Avoid on Sunday mornings. You will wait for an hour?
29. Ploughman's Lunch ? Finnegan's Seri Hartamas. A big plate filled with a pot of pate, slices of ham, pickle, onion, chunks of cheese, a slab of butter, 4 hunks of bread. If you are EXTREMELY hungry, this one's for you.
30. Chef's salad ? Flagz; behind Souled Out. This salad is as all salads should be ? crunchy FRESH veggies, and the dressing is to die for. Easily the best salad in town. And I don't even like salad. Beer is the freshest in town too ? great bite?
31. Hokkien Mee (Penang style ? otherwise known as Prawn noodles)? Champ's; Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru. Standard gone down somewhat recently, but still head and shoulders above all others in KL. You'll have to go to Penang to beat this.
32. Char Kway Teow ? Bukit Damansara; behind Hock Lee supermarket, next to Shell. Corner stall inside coffee shop. Best in KL. The fellow has been frying for longer than I can recall, and he is so good that you may have to wait up to 45 minutes during lunchtime. Doesn't use too much oil ? almost perfect. As above, you'll have to go to Penang to beat this. Other stalls in the same shop not bad.
33. Chicken rice ? Jalan Gasing; very close to the Federal Highway, same row as Southern Bank(?) 2 shops ? one in the middle, one in the corner. Can't decide which is superior, but both are very good. Middle one has Ipoh
taugeh?
34. Bak Kut Teh ? Klang, just about anywhere. Hokkien Association off the main highway leading to the heart of Klang is a good place to start for beginners.
35. Dim Sum ? Marriott Hotel. Chinese restaurant here serves northern China style dim sum. Easily best dim sum in town. If a little pricey.
36. Fish head ? off Jalan Sungai Besi; just past Won Ton Mien, turn left right after BP. Three shops clumped together. All look dilapidated but
don't worry. Don't know what type of fish they get their heads from, but I suspect freshwater fish. Hot sauce fish head to die for. Extremely reasonable prices.
37. Bak Kut Teh ? Segambut; go past Auto Bavaria, follow road all the way until you see a Chinese temple on your left. Enter the temple courtyard
and you will see a tin shack where they serve bak kut teh. Not quite up there with Klang, but nothing to sneeze at. Go for yam rice rather than white rice.
38. Nasi Kandar/Kerabu/Laut ? Taman Tun; the other end of Secret Recipe in a store on the same block, usually with a van outside. Truly Kelantanese style. Only in the morning though.
39. Seafood ? Pulau Carey; get to Jalan Banting and follow signs to Pulau Carey. Place called Kang Guan, just before the actual bridge onto the island. Cheap!
40. Nasi Lemak ? Tang Lin at Lake Gardens, near the Clinic/Hospital. Only open when government depts open.
41. Wong Chau Kai (Rice Wine Chicken) ? Small lane off Jalan Raja Laut (left side after Eveybody Electrical shop). Serve with traditional fried rice or with noodles.
42. Yee Tau Mai (Fish Head Noodle) ? Near Jalan Tiong Nam morning market area, corner house near temple. Cheap and delicious! Have to bear with the cramped place during lunch though but worth it !
43. Wat Tan Hor ? Located in Taman Seri Gombak food stalls area opposite 7-11. The sauce meddles well with the hor fun and is really smooth ! Good when serve hot.
44. Char Siew Fan/Chicken Rice ? Shop in Jalan Raja Laut near C&C a few doors away from Mungo Jerry Bak Kut Teh. Very tasty Char Siew. Also serve with soup.
