Bai Her Nyonya Fish Curry

This fish curry is lovingly made and has an ingredient that’s unusual and shines throughout the dish – lots of cabbage! It’s not a spicy dish either, but more on with notes of sweet from pineapple chunks.

Address: 6 Jalan Molek 2/1, Taman Molek 81100 JB Timings: Daily 11am – 3pm, 5.30pm – 10.30pm. Closed every Thursday

Ho Seng Kee Wantan Mee

You’re getting first-grade egg noodles here, which are actually the hidden warrior of the dish. Meaty char siew and succulent wantan bring it to a level of perfection.

Kway Teow Kia Meng Fang

The Cedar Point Food Court is where this humble stall hails from. The soup is generously ladled over your noodles, and it has a herbaceous undertone with a slight sweet hint. For once, the noodles and side dishes don’t taste like they’ve been drowned in soy sauce and salt!
