Mook lives on in Jalan Alor

Mook‘s brother Van Lal Duh holds up the stall‘s seafood offerings, which diners can request to be steamed, deep fried or put into a tom yam.

THE idea of a red seafood tom yam after midnight sounds like trouble for a sensitive tummy, but it is an irresistible dare all the same and Jalan Alor comes to mind immediately.

Over the past 10 years, this once Chinese-dominated eat street has evolved to become the city’s unofficial Thai food centre.
