Part of Jalan Tun HS Lee's charm is this coffeeshop, sporting an in-your-face 'Lai Foong Restaurant' signage. For this Chinatown stop, we highly recommend bringing your parents — they will love the nostalgia. The grind begins at the break of dawn, when an elderly couple churns out cups of bittersweet Kopi (RM2). Order the drink, and pray it helps you decide between their tasty Beef Noodles (from RM8) and the recently popularised Lala Noodles (RM10). Our advice is to share both. The big on flavour beef noodles is impossible to pass up on. Chock full of tripe, tendon and brisket, it's finished with an appetising relish of preserved vegetables and coriander. Couple that with the sweet and spicy kick of the lala noodles and you'll be slurping your way through breakfast, down to the very last drop.
Avg price per person: RM10
