Malaysian Chinatown Favourites (Pork)

ABOUT THIS MENU

Malaysia’s Chinatown is located at Petaling Street, the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The Chinese makes a significant population in Malaysia and has integrated into the Malaysian culture for at least three generations.

This menu features fusion Chinese-Malaysian dishes that are only available in Malaysia. Our Wantan Noodles is different – it’s a ‘dry’ version flavoured with various sauces. The noodle is served with dumplings in soup and caramelised roast pork known as Char Siew. This combo – noodles, dumplings in soup, and roast pork – is ranked at #299 on Lonely Planet Ultimate Eatlist in 2019.

At a busy street at Petaling Street, you can find a famous stall called Koon Kee which serve this type of noodle. On the same street, you can find a unique local dessert: fried sweet potatoes and coconut balls. The Chinese makes use of local ingredients such as coconut flakes to create a delicious fusion dessert.

We also have Lor Bak Or Ngo Hiang, a popular fried snack, made from five-spice, beancurd, and pork. Wash all the food down with a glass of cold lime juice with dried salted plum that you can find only in Malaysia and Singapore.
