The menu at Pak Thong is a long list of dishes rarely heard of (steamed fish in butter cream, claypot pork ribs noodles, etc). Known for fresh seafood, they didn't disappoint with the Lala In Superior Soup (from RM16) - likely one of the best renditions I've had in KL. The mellower Bitter Gourd Vermicelli (RM10) is also good and packed with surprisingly flavourful sliced pork! Look out for the tables and chairs set up in Kepong Baru Wet Market to find this hidden gem.
Craving for some Penang food, look no further now located in Desa Aman Puri (Kepong) highly recommended Char Kuey Teow 👍, Prawn Mee👍, Chee Cheong Fun 👍and not forgetting Lobak👍. Good food and reasonable price.
Within steps of Kepong's Big Tree Head Mamak, a low-profile food truck dishes out super supper alternatives: Fried Carrot Cake (from RM4.50) and Fried Oyster (from RM7). The young man in his thirties is not to be underestimated, for he is remarkably adept at the wok. The fried oyster pleases with bite-sized oysters amid scrambled eggy bits whereas the wok hei-laden carrot cake is boosted by the taste of chopped garlic. Place your order of both fried fares and watch him whip up shimmering plates for you and your partner — there is something quite romantic about sharing supper in a dim setting shrouded by leafy trees. For a sweet end to the night, enjoy a bowl of soothing tong sui (sweet soup dessert, RM2) of the day.
Avg price per person: RM10

Generous amount of lala and other seafood such as prawn, scallops and sotong. They are using "crystal" bee Hun hence you can take your own sweet time to finish it. Taste of XO was not too strong, you don't have to worry about getting drunk 😝
They made their own noodles and it's so chewy that I can actually ordered 2 plate if my stomach can fit 😂 Waze to Pei Fook restaurant in Kepong (couldn't search location here)
