Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam is situated in Jalan Balai Polis, City Centre, Kuala Lumpur.
The kopitiam serves aesthetic traditional Hainanese food, foods overall nice with affordable price, I love their 'Cham'(coffee+Tea)! You would always see the crowds waiting infront of the kopitiam.
The taste is good, the environment is not great, and the service is OK. There is a long queue every day. I don’t know where the tourists come from. The 🈶️ warm soup eggs 🥚 are Japanese style. I must order them every time I go. They are delicious. All kinds of bread 🥯 are also delicious.

One afternoon in Kuala Lumpur, my friends took me to eat Malaysian Bak Kut Teh. If it wasn't for the locals, I might not have found this shop.
There were 8 of us, so we ordered a big pot of Bak Kut Teh, which contained pork belly, rice intestines, pork belly, etc. in addition to pork bones. The soup was added with some medicinal herbs, but the taste was sweet, which was different from our Singapore Bak Kut Teh. And Singapore Bak Kut Teh does not put all the ingredients together to avoid affecting the taste of the soup.
There was also a pig's trotter soup that was quite special [delightful] The pig's trotter was cooked soft enough, and I liked the skin.
My Malaysian friend is a regular customer, and he said that the things sold here are not expensive and are worth eating.
The taste is quite good. It is a traditional shop with soup service. The price is relatively cheap. You can come.
You can order Aiyubing, which is delicious.

In the long river of time, there is a taste that makes people intoxicated - Bak Kut Teh. Its birth can be traced back to the end of the Ming Dynasty, when a Fujian businessman accidentally discovered a special herbal combination during his journey to a foreign country: slow-cooking delicious pork bones with various spices and medicinal materials not only cured the fatigue of the journey, but also brought a warm and soothing drink to the people who came later. Today, this cup of Bak Kut Teh full of history has become one of the treasures of the Chinese nation.

Taoxiang Bak Kut Teh Fish Head Rice Noodles is so creative... The combination of Bak Kut Teh, fish head and rice noodles. Although it has a lot of carbohydrates and is not very friendly to fitness people, it looks delicious and is a very satisfying food.

After finish eating at this restaurant, then can buy some cake to bring back home to eat. The delicious cake from this restaurant is kaya swissroll or kaya cake. Very famous because the yut kee kaya is very good taste.
Yiji is a traditional Hainanese-run coffee shop. Because Hainanese used to cook for foreigners, it incorporates some Western elements. There were so many people that we had to wait for a long time. The Malay fried rice, pork chops and bread with meat were all very good. The roasted pork roll was sold out by someone who was crazy enough to buy a roll. Later, he didn't want it anymore, but it took too long, so the skin of the pork roll was not crispy enough.

Specializing in Bak Kut Teh, Bak Kut Teh is eaten with braised pork, rice wine chicken, rapeseed and rice. You can watch how the locals eat Bak Kut Teh. The way the locals eat it is quite complicated.
Sun Fong Bak Kut Teh nearby is a famous place. However, I personally recommend Yu Yi Bak Kut Teh. If you don't like offal, just ask for pork belly when you order. You should definitely try Taku Teh. It's delicious.

This is a time-honored Bak Kut Teh in Kuala Lumpur, but it's not near the city center, a bit off the beaten track. The pork trotter Bak Kut Teh there is very good. I recommend adding a fried dough stick, which goes great with the Bak Kut Teh.
This is a time-honored Bak Kut Teh restaurant, it's in the suburbs, a little far away, but there are a lot of Chinese people here, and a lot of people eat there. The tofu skin tastes good, but you need to pay extra.

After the flight was delayed last night, I can only check into the hotel now [sleepy]
For lunch, I ate at Yongxingcheng Coffee Shop
Recommendations: barbecued pork wonton noodles, fried rice noodles, three-color milk tea
But I'm sure I'm not used to the taste/snickering
And the weather in Kuala Lumpur is unpredictable☔️
It was sunny one second and pouring rain the next second [dirty]
An old ice cream parlor, the seats near the door are more popular. The milk tea is good. The Malaysian milk tea is just too sweet. Remember to order the sick coffee. The wontons inside taste very good.

Ah Ching Laksa is a local chain brand that is quite common in Kuala Lumpur. Although it is called Laksa, the taste is different in different parts of Malaysia. Ah Ching Laksa is the taste of Kuala Lumpur.
I really like Laksa. I can't get enough of it. The soup is very rich, and it tastes great with vegetables and various noodles. I especially like the mushrooms and tofu puffs.
