Lai Foong has been serving its legendary beef noodle soup from the same Chinatown corner since 1956, and the recipe has barely changed. The clear broth is deeply flavourful, loaded with tender beef slices, tendon, and tripe. Arrive before 11am as they regularly sell out. It is a no-frills, cash-only operation that represents old KL at its most authentic.
