Came across this zhichar 煮炒 spot near KSL! The entrance is right beside the fruit stalls at Taman Sri Tebrau Hawker Centre - also known as 大马花园 for those familiar with the area.
Comfort food with a homely taste. Highly recommend going early to avoid long waits during the dinner crowd. Overheard the crabs are sold out pretty early. There’s outdoor seating too, but it can be quite hot around sunset.
Loved the friendliness of the serving staff, from the young to the elderly. They’re not pushy when taking orders and will happily recommend their signature dishes. Fresh seafood is definitely a big highlight here.

⚠️ Heads-up:
The hawker centre can be a little messy, and the ambiance isn’t the most ideal one. Occasionally, strangers may approach your table to sell different things. The toilet situation is also a mess and dirty with 30 cents per entry, and my companion encountered an uncle lingering near the ladies’ toilet, which couldn’t be locked. Staff recommend us to visit the toilet near the petrol kiosk instead.
