ICC Pudu- Malaysia Traditional Food Haven in Kuala Lumpur

If you are looking for traditional authentic Malaysia food in Kuala Lumpur, you must definitely check out ICC Pudu. It houses more than 90 (estimated) stores of Malaysia’s Traditional food.You are strongly advised to come before 11am to avoid the massive lunch crowd.

Throughout my 2 weeks in Kuala Lumpur, I made sure I tried as many dishes at ICC Pudu to savour a diverse taste of local food in Malaysia.

ICC Pudu -packed with locals at 11am on a Friday afternoon.

Keng Swee Hainan Cafe 经瑞海南茶- Stall: G2

Keng Swee Hainan Cafe’s toast is famous among the locals, many like to order their Kaya Toast which is toast to perfection, it takes about 10 minutes to receive your food as everything is prepared after you placed your order.

This delectable treat is a simple but satisfying combination of crunchy toasted bread, rich and creamy kaya spread, and generous cubes of butter. Pair it with their hot/iced cup of tea or coffee and that will be your perfect breakfast to start your day.

A toast and iced tea cost me around 5.50RM.

Madam Eng Curry Mee 英姐咖喱麵 – Stall: G38

You get to customise your curry mee bowl with the type of noodles, curry-based/dry noodles served with dark soy sauce/soup.

I chose the original curry with egg noodles. It is served with steamed chicken, fresh cockles, tau pok (tofu puff) and long beans. The curry base is delicious, not too spicy with a slight hint of fragrant coconut milk taste.
Absolutely worth a try and costs only 10RM.

Restaurant Hong Kong Famous Roast Meal 香港名厨烧腊面饭店 -Stall: G27

Slightly on the higher price point, Restaurant Hong Kong Famous Roast Meal’s serves well roasted charsiew accompanied with good proportion of fat to meat ratio makes it absolutely mouthwatering. However, I feel the duck and noodles are just ordinary.
