The best things to eat at Cecil Street Market

Nyonya kuih
You won’t miss this stall manned by the friendly lady right at the food court entrance. If you go early, you’ll land your hands on some tasty homemade kuih ranging from seri muka and kuih lapis to onde-onde and kuih koci. Our favourite is the kuih talam, suitably wobbly and coconut-y. From RM0.70 per piece

Char kway kak
The man who owns this stall lacks the speed we’re used to among fry cooks, but his slow, steady movements don’t reflect in the taste of his char kuay kak. The rice cakes are enveloped in smokiness, and fried with lots of chilli, egg and bean sprouts. The pieces are large, dense and chewy, which make for a rather indulgent lunch. From RM2.70
