Dinner at Loke Fatt Restaurant

Dinner at Loke Fatt Restaurant provided a taste of a long-standing heritage *tai chow* spot in the heart of Brickfields. Established in 1962 and operating at its current location since 1996, this restaurant has evolved from a simple coffee shop into a beloved neighborhood institution known for its old school and affordable food.

The meal featured a Yee Sang (the first I had in 2026) along with three classic dishes: Claypot Chicken, Mui Choy Kau Yuk (Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables), and Stir-Fried Yau Mak. While all items were found to be edible and satisfactory, they didn't quite reach an outstanding level of execution.

The experience was complemented by two large bottles of beer, bringing the total bill to RM180.00. This highlights the restaurant's reputation for value, with an average spend per person (excluding alcohol) coming in at under RM50.00.
