Limapulo Baba Can Cook

Best Curry Laksa in the Klang Valley in The Star People’s Food Awards, back in 2015.

Aromatic and Creamy laksa ~
Loved every bit of it !

But this sambal sotong petai is bar none. The inimitable crunch of the petai, the meaty but never chewy squid rings, and THAT ridiculous sambal. What is love? Ok, that's all.

Lovely taste of the nyonya style cooked mee siam. This is a Tuesday and Thursday special and comes with a lunch set . One of the go to place if you have nyonya food cravings

Peranakan dish has always been one of my favourite cuisine as the use of spice that make every dish interesting. One thing that we couldn't miss whenever we dine in a peranakan restaurant will be cendol.

The shaved ice, coconut milk and the rich gula melaka. Perfect for the hot weather in Malaysia.

One of my go to place whenever I'm craving for some Nyonya Cuisine. It served quality food and happen to be nearby my neighbourhood.

Finally get to try the Nyonya laksa which only serve during certain days of the week. We also had the very fragrant sambal petai with prawn and roti jala during our visit.

Located along The Row, Peranakan diner Limapulo Baba Can Cook boasts charming old-school vibes and decades-old recipes whipped up by their veteran cook, Uncle John. Make this welcoming restaurant your go-to lunch spot when you're on a budget, be it solo or with your colleagues. The lunch meals are steals priced at a flat RM9.90, with appealing variety. When craving a creamy, warming Nyonya laksa, be sure to visit on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays, when the dish is available. If you're here on any other day, don't fret. Their daily fare includes an absolutely delightful Ayam Berempah with rice. The name often denotes spiced fried chicken but in Peranakan terms, this is a comforting bowl of tender chicken cooked in a curry-like gravy. Other worthy Nyonya dishes offered here are the light, crispy Pai Tee (RM10) and a decadent Sago Gula Melaka (RM3.50).
