LULUBEE 滷滷味 brings the comforting allure of Taiwanese-style braised dishes (滷味 lu wei) to northern Malaysia. This cozy eatery specializes in simmering meats, tofu, and vegetables in a fragrant, aromatic broth, offering a hearty and customizable dining experience perfect for casual meals.

Food The star here is the lu wei—ingredients like braised pork belly, tofu, eggs, mushrooms, and seaweed are steeped in a deeply savory-sweet broth with hints of star anise and soy. Highlights include: Signature Braised Pork Rice: Tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork layered over fluffy rice. Customizable Bowls: Pick your proteins (chicken, pork, or tofu) and veggies, paired with noodles or rice. Vegetarian Options: Mushrooms, tofu, and leafy greens shine in a dedicated vegetarian broth.

The broth strikes a perfect balance—rich but not overly salty, with a subtle herbal undertone. Add a dash of their house-made chili oil for a spicy kick!

*Ambiance The vibe is modern yet homey, with clean wooden tables, soft lighting, and subtle Taiwanese-inspired decor (think tea-themed art). It’s small but well-kept, ideal for quick lunches or relaxed dinners. Limited seating can mean waits during peak hours.

*Service Friendly staff guide newcomers through the ordering process. Service is efficient, though it can get brisk during rushes. The DIY lu wei counter lets you handpick ingredients, adding a fun, interactive touch.

*Price Affordable for the quality—expect RM10–20 per person. Portions are generous, making it a great value compared to fancier...
