Nestled in nondescript Selera Wawasan in SS3, hidden gem Cik Mek Molek excels at a variety of Malay eats. Bring a close friend for conversations over local delights at this cosy spot. Chef Kadri hails from Johor, but has dabbled in learning Kelantanese recipes so you will see a balance of both cuisines on the menu. It's no surprise that the Laksa Johor (RM7) is a winner. Redolent of its fragrant fish base, the runny broth and slippery spaghetti makes a tasty, harmonious duo. From the East Coast, Monday special Laksam (RM7) is a rice roll dish not easily found in these parts of KL. It is painstaking to make, and the unique, piquant dish is a must-order if you're here on Mondays. Selling out by 1pm daily, the crowd-favourite is none other than a bright, blue Nasi Kerabu (RM7) — come early for this. Eight types of chopped ulam (fresh greens) are used to supplement the fragrant rice, along with salted egg, pungent budu sauce and fish crackers. This mouth-watering version also features saucers of rendang gravy and spicy sambal to suit local likings.
