Kedai Kopi Maju Keng Hing

The prices at this zhap fan stall have earned the owners – a group of sisters – the moniker ‘guai por’, or ‘expensive woman’ by their regulars. Despite that (and the countless other zhap fan stalls in the area), this stall inside a quaint little kopitiam in a pre-war shophouse still boasts a sizeable crowd come lunch time, which should be a testament to the quality of the dishes here. And unlike other typical mixed rice stalls where you can help yourself to the dishes, here, the sisters will serve you fastidiously, even going so far as to ration each portion carefully.

Two types of vegetables and a serving of meat will set you back about RM7.50. The variety may not be as impressive as other stalls, but the 20 or so well-executed dishes are more than enough to keep customers coming back.
