Kopitiam

Adventurous eaters should head to Kopitiam, a colorful, all-day Malaysian café on the edge of Chinatown. Fish ball soup and thick toast with butter and floral-scented pandan coconut jam are among the must-try breakfast items. Later in the day, look for chilled, spicy sesame noodles and nasi lemak, a bowl of coconut rice with fried anchovies, cucumber, peanuts and sliced hard-boiled egg. Order at the counter, slip into a table and await friendly servers who swiftly deliver dishes.
