Baba Low’s @ Lorong Kurau — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Restaurant is a nice and cozy place to get a quick bite or a relaxing tea session. The service is reasonably fast and knowledgeable about the menu

With that said, As a Malaccan (and a cendol lover), i would not recommend the cendol here.

1. Santan lacks flavour/richness
2. Lacks Gula Melaka flavour, I don’t think they use gula Melaka as their sugar base
3. Instead of mashed red beans, they use kidney beans :(
4. The green cendol itself is hard/chewy & lacks the cendol flavour

Nyonya Laska is acceptable I believe it should have a stronger coconut milk fragrance. Portion is slightly smaller than what I’m accustomed to.

My go to for comfort food featuring Malacaan style 娘惹 or Peranakan. I didn’t have the Laksa but instead chose the Mee Siam instead and their popish. The Mee Siam was drenched in their special sauce which consists of tauchu (a kind of soya bean sauce), chillies, assam jawa and sugar. The sweet, sour and spicy sauce makes this fried beehoon palatable and delicious. Topped with fresh julienned cucumber, it give a fresh perspective to the overall taste of the dish. The popiah was tasty and one can still feel the crunchy sengkuang even though it had been cooked and braised. Overall, for a quick and comforting moment of escapism from the hustle and bustle of daily grind, I’ll rate...
