TipBook a round table for four or more; the seafood and roast meats are portioned for sharing, not solo plates.

Anak Baba has served Southern Peranakan-style nasi lemak in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, since 2018, and the Michelin Guide now lists it as Bib Gourmand.

TipThe turmeric fried chicken nasi lemak is the signature; ask for extra sambal if you like it hotter.
Wong Mei Kee roasts siew yok over charcoal on Jalan Nyonya in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, and its Michelin Bib Gourmand pork sells out most days by 15:00.
OrderCharcoal siew yok, crackling roast pork belly, while it lasts.
TipArrive by noon when the day's roast pork comes out of the oven; it is often gone within three hours.
Jalan Ipoh Claypot Chicken Rice, an unnamed stall on Jalan Batu Ambar in Taman Kok Lian, Kuala Lumpur, cooks each claypot to order over charcoal.

TipAsk for salted fish mixed into the rice; it adds an aroma the plain chicken version lacks entirely.
