#1
Old China Café
Chinatown·$$
Sambal Petai (Stir-Fried Long Beans with Spicy Shrimp Paste)
MYR14.00
Yard-long beans wok-fried with a fiery paste made from shrimp, chilies, and aromatics.
Tip: This is spicy — let staff know your tolerance level. The shrimp paste brings a funk (in a good way) that some find intense.
#2
Purple Cane Tea
Chinatown·$$
Sautéed Prawns with Jasmine Tea
MYR49.00
Fresh prawns wok-tossed with jasmine-infused stock, aromatic with floral notes.
Tip: The jasmine flavor is subtle — it's an accent, not a dominant taste. If you prefer bold soy-forward flavors, the signature beancurd might be a better starting point.
#3
Nasi Kandar Pelita
Ampang·$
Fried Bitter Gourd
MYR4.00
Sliced bitter gourd stir-fried with garlic and spices.
Tip: Add this as a side to lighten your kuah campur plate — the bitter notes cleanse between curry bites.
