Business Hour 7.30am – 11.00pm daily

Jose & Deli is a perfect example of a new establishment done right, located in a strategic spot in town that has yet to be crowded with similar ventures and easily accessible for both tourists and locals.

OOI Noodle House

Business Hour Opens from 7am until 4pm

this Pomander pork noodles place in SS15 (now renamed to Ooi Noodle House) is notorious for the extremely long wait; come rain or shine.

All in all, the meal fared reasonably well, and we would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to friends and relatives seeking for a comfortable, air-conditioned eatery that does not charge exorbitant prices.

Lai Thai Market

Cuisines Thai
Business Hour 10am onwards, until 5pm

Thai Iced Coffee, the easily recognizable Vitasoy and the epitome of Thai dessert; Mango Sticky Rice with crispy mung beans to end the meal with.

Restoran Ding Hao

Top 500 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens for dinner.

A food court with partial al fresco arrangement, the place would be normally packed during dinner hours, and when we were kids, my brother and I absolutely fell head over heels for the Lemon chicken dish served by one of the stalls here.

Chengmai Thai Restaurant

Cuisines Thai

The Fried hornets (a type of wasp/bees) appeared to be very appalling; imagine spoonfuls of crispy critters – wings, feet and all balanced by creamy bites of larvae, yet if you close your eyes … the experience was almost like eating crunchy anchovies stir-fried with lots of chillies and garlic.

Spices Of Penang

Top 500 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Local
Business Hour Opens from lunch until dinner daily

Yet, I personally believe that Spices of Penang still has a long way to go before it deserves recognition or a second branch in Perak.

Kam Wan Restaurant

Top 500 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese

One rule of thumb here; do NOT order too much of food from any one stall. Spread out the feast with a variety of choices from different stalls, and remember to share with your fellow diners!

Restoran Yee Lock

Top 100 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese

Packed with slices of lean pork, shrimps and cabbage, this is a complete dish on its own, and not out of place when paired with the other dishes here at Yee Lock.

Cheong Kee Beef Noodles @ Tong Sui Kai

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from early evening until late night. Closed on Sundays.

Cheong Kee’s beef balls were absolutely wonderful; made from a well-seasoned beef paste that was velvety smooth and not rubbery.

When all else failed, you can still take comfort in their food. Was really tempted to try the Roasted Lamb Chop (about RM25) or the Australian Tenderloin steak (about RM32), yet I have had enough of red meat for the entire week’s quota.

Cuisines Asian
Business Hour Mon – Thu: 9:00 am – 10:30 pm Fri – Sat: 9:00 am – 11:00 pm Sun: 9:00 am – 10:30 pm Opens from 8.30am until 10.30pm daily

All in all, although the food did not incite a die-die-must-try ritual and converted us to believers, the charming ambience, paired with a cozy al fresco dining environment and relatively affordable prices (this being in Bangsar, after all), I wouldn’t think twice of dropping by for a leisure brunch come Sunday.

Kedai Kopi Shin Lok 新乐茶室

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 7am – 7pm

The thick coffee reminded me of Hainanese kopitiam’s version; laden with a bitter tinge behind the taste bud after sipping on a spoonful. Roasted to a smoky finish, the coffee here satisfied my cravings that morning, ensuring a very pleasant journey ahead.
