PETALING Street, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s original Chinatown, is filled with architectural wonders and rich history.The area has gone through noticeable urban renewal – evolving from a centre known for production of tapioca flour in the 1870s to vibrant night markets – and now refurbished streets housing hidden restaurants on the upper floor of old shophouses.

If you park at one of the open-air carparks in the area and ask the attendant how to find Jao Tim, you may be directed to one of the hotels there, which is exactly what happened to me.
