Make a beeline for this popular local taichow haunt in Kepong Baru's wet market. Fun fact: The produce used in the dishes are sourced from their neighbours in the wet market, so rest assured that you're getting the freshest ingredients. Seafood's all the rage here and the sinful Butter Milk Curry Prawns (from RM100) is a must-have. While the crab prices are a bit steep (from RM100 a kg), Burppler Sok Chiek Lim guarantees they're super fresh! Complete your meal with the Signature Tofu (from RM40) and Pork Ribs with freshly made noodles (from RM20). P.S. Kick it up a notch and BYOB!

Located within the grounds of Kepong Baru's wet market, freshness is guaranteed at Pak Thong. The restaurant sources ingredients from its neighbours to cook up a combination of fresh seafood and delicious comfort food. Navigate to this hidden gem for a business lunch and gain points for resourcefulness! We have a special spot in our hearts for the Bitter Gourd Vermicelli (from RM10), which melds thick vermicelli with yummy pork slices and bitter gourd in a soothing, milky soup. For seafood, turn to the Lala In Superior Soup (RM16) that nails the perfect spicy-savoury broth with plump, juicy lala to boot. The Steamed Crabs (RM140 per kg) also deserve a mention. Imported from seaside Sabah, these crabs are incredibly fresh, meaty and make a delicious treat if you're looking to splurge — the Sabahan variant are typically pricier than local ones.
Avg price per person: RM25
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.
