Gourmet Tips #1 - Best "Lor Tu Kar" in KL

This is the first post of  "Gourmet Tips", an occasional series on excellent eating places in different cities where our schoolmates and friends happen to be located. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to travel around the region for work, and sometimes after the day's proceedings I drop by to visit some of our buddies. On some of these occasions, I get introduced to great eating places and special dishes.

In this series, you're going to notice a great deal of variation in the eating places - from food stalls to cafes, pubs to restaurants. The decor and pricing may differ widely, but in all cases there will be one or two exceptional dishes which I will highlight.

This first posting comes under the category of great evening fare to be enjoyed in KUALA LUMPUR.

Apologies to Muslim friends but this one's not halal.

The outlet is at No. 32, SS2/66, which is at the Damansara area. The exceptional dish is "Lor Tu Kar" (pork stewed in rich soya sauce), usually served with white rice. The aroma is great, the meat tender, the taste divine and the service friendly & prompt. This delicacy was introduced by our friend Pip, and after trying it, yummmmmmm ... I fully recommend it.

Opening hours of the stall are from 6:30pm - 1:30am everyday (except Mondays).

Beside the excellent Lor Tu Kar, this stall also serves up a good Bak Kut Teh dish.

So if any of you happen to be out late in KL, and have a chance to check out this place, do post some comments.

Also if you know of other places that provide culinary delights, do send me an email to describe them. (Of course, to convince me it's really that good, you have to invite me to sample first ... hehehe :-)

Till the next "Gourmet Tips", eat well ...

  1. This vendor moved to this new location just a few days ago. It's located in SS2, a few shops down from the roast duck restaurant that has a big duck hanging outside. Do try the fresh liver+kidney broth in ginger and wine too.

  3. Having a mild stomach upset now, but this Lor Tu Kar and fresh liver+kidney broth is still causing me to salivate.

    And notice the short operating hours i.e. 6.30pm - 1.30am only and OFF on Mondays???

    ReplyDelete
  16. Unfortunately this shop goes by a chinese name/sign that has been there for years. In the evening, it transforms into a bak kut teh/tu kar shop. It's no;32

    ReplyDelete
  17. The chinese sign on the stall not very clear. on first line, I think it says (something) CHUN
    and second line is RO GU CHA (or bak kut teh). go practice your chinese and ask, Philip ...
