One of the older stalwarts in the neighbourhood is Lau Heong, which has built a stellar reputation for tai chow over the years. The two-storey shoplot splits diners between air-conditioned and outdoor seatings, both comfortable enough to accommodate big groups — jot this down for family or team dinners! You cannot go wrong with Fish Head Curry (from RM28) that comes with fleshy fish head chunks, vegetables and lots of gravy to ladle over rice. We love that it's big on flavour yet leaves our palates shy of jelat-ness. Burppler Anna Wong calls their Nam Yu Fried Chicken Wings (RM2.20 each) the bomb, likely due to its aromatic marinade that melds fermented bean curd with prawn paste. A dish unique to Lau Heong's menu is the Seafood Hotplate (RM20), which sees squid rings and prawns cooked in creamy, spice-laden gravy on a banana leaf.
Avg Price: RM25 per person
