MUAR BAKRI LAKSA
Read moreIt may not look like much at first glance, but it's at the top of all the city's top lists. The restaurant is one of Malaysia's 50 best laksas (every Malaysian restaurant serves laksa), one of the city's Top 7 best restaurants, and its reputation extends to the shores of Singapore. Here, the spicy, rather light broth simmers for a minimum of 3 hours. Chili pepper is added according to your tolerance, and if you ask for it "full spicy", you're likely to fall off your chair.

Read moreSyed Ali concocts all the Indian classics with talent for super-sweet prices. His specialty is byriani, a rice dish stewed with spices and served with chicken, mutton, beef or fish. A well-stocked buffet offers a wide variety of dishes served continuously. You can also opt for the thali plate served with roti (bread cakes), dal (lentils), sambal (sweet and sour sauce) and chilli. This address is also ideal for vegetarians, as not all dishes feature meat.
