Restoran G. Cheong Fun, Johor. Open until lunch hour only.

For those who feel bathing the spongy rice rolls with prawn gravy is mundane or isn't cutting-edge enough, make your way to this unassuming restaurant. Among the most vaunted version is drowning the chee cheong fun with curry, which is mildly spicy yet savoury. Yam Cake and Pig Skin Curry. Teh Ais with Gula Melaka.

Yamabuki in Bangsar. Next, my meal is enlivened with Buta Cheese Katsu Curry Udon (RM25), described in the menu as “soup curry udon with pork and cheese mille-feuille cutlet”.

The thick, almost stew-like broth which is mildly spicy is loaded with terrific al dente noodles. After my teeth sinks through the breaded exterior, it reaches the soft supremely juicy meat in a cheesey haze. Indeed, this is a memorable dish.

This is one of the most popular places in Kuantan to have curry noodles— my childhood friends and I used to come here a lot back then. It's at an ideal location too; right next to Kuantan's main beach, Teluk Chempedak. The place gets packed during breakfast time, so go early or you may be disappointed– it runs out by 10-11am. The curry broth here is mildly spicy and creamy, but if you want that extra punch, add in some additional chili sambal sauce.

Location: No. 31, Jalan Teluk Cempedak, Kuantan. Operatings Hours: 7am-2pm. Closed on Monday
