The steamboat at Hong Kong Hot Pot Restaurant is one of the richer and more expansive hotpots in the area. All of this is attributed to the selection of soups as well as the myriad of ingredients you can place in your pot. Hong Kong Hot Pot Restaurant takes the selection of soup very seriously, which is seen in soup bases such as “Sakura Pork Bone Soup”, “Imported HK Century Egg & Coriander” and “Szechuan Spicy” to name a few. As far as the ingredients go, there are a tonne of options, but one of the standout options is definitely the “Hong Kong Fried Fish Skin”, which is recommended to be eaten only after two small dips into the pot unlike the other ingredients (which all go into the pot at one go). This helps retain the flavour and the crispiness in the fish skin. Another set of ingredients that get a similar treatment is the “US Premium Marble Beef Slice”, where the stages of cooking can be seen with each individual dip, adding a great visual element to the experience. All of this can be accompanied with the house made chilli sauce and the Taiwanese Black Bean sauce to add a few more notches of flavour.

The great thing about this stall however is that the deep fried crispy pork lard bits can be added on as toppings in your plate of noodles, which helps elevate the dish from a textural and flavour standpoint. The simplicity and overall allure of the Hokkien Mee here should justify this place as a great supper joint.

How many restaurants offer Kelantanese delights in KL? And one that opens all day, every day nonetheless. At the fully localised Hayaki, expect to be served the best of Kelantanese dishes like Nasi Kerabu and Nasi Dagang. However, another item on the menu that deserves special mention (and only because we have mentioned Nasi Kerabu) is the Nasi Kukus Hayaki. Wrapped in banana leaf and brown paper combo as you would nasi lemak, the portion are more than generous with steamed rice, fried chicken, cucumbers, sambal, anchovies and peanuts. When that weird hunger for rice struck at an ungodly hour, know that Hayaki is around.
