Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to lunch with your colleagues in Bangsar without breaking the bank — just head to Baba Low's. The crowd hustles here daily at lunch hour for its tasty and affordable Nyonya delights, with options that range from quick meals like Mee Goreng Sejuk (RM6) to the Peranakan favourite, Pongteh Chicken (RM7). We also highly recommend indulging in a bowl of Nyonya Laksa (RM7.50). The incredibly rich soup is almost gravy-like, and is best slurped up with a meehoon-mee combo. At the same time, you must get the flavoursome vegetarian dish Chap Chye (RM6) to share. Be warned though — the fast-working Ah Ma who helms this shop has no time to waste, so make your orders speedy!
Avg price per person: RM10
