It is easy to forget the clamour of Dominion Rd — the endless cars, the many voices, the sighing of buses at the nearby stop — when you step into Petaling. Though most places on this list boast a singular, standout dish, this place is an oasis of steady, dependable food across the board. Much of it is hawker-style, and all of it is served with a reassuring consistency. Because of this, it’s an especially nice place to come with a few others for an easy-going dinner, passing around plates of saucy, boldly-flavoured chicken, scooping green, oyster-sauce-blotched tendrils on to your plate, and biting into golden cubes of tofu.
