The wide variety of Dim Sum here starts at RM4.50 a plate, and the portions come with a generous amount of filling.

Finding street parking can be difficult, especially during lunch hour, so it’s recommended that you park at the Uptown Sales Gallery and cross the road.

2. Restoran Ful Lai

Come here with an empty stomach because you’re in for a treat. The portions here are really generous and 2 or 3 plates alone are enough to fill you up.

Finding the restaurant is easy using Waze, especially if you’re familiar with the Kepong area. However, parking is a major problem here, so try to come before 12 noon to avoid disappointment.

3. Emperor Chinese Restaurant,Grand Dorsett Subang (Halal)
