Kuala Lumpur’s food scene is legendary, and ICC Pudu (燕美巴剎) has quickly become one of the city’s most exciting food hubs. Built as part of the redevelopment of the historic Pudu Market area, this massive modern complex houses dozens of hawkers, breakfast specialists and street-food masters.
From heritage egg tarts and traditional fried snacks to steaming bowls of lala noodles and claypot coffee, the food here reflects the rich culinary diversity of Malaysia. Whether you are a local foodie or a visitor exploring KL’s street food culture, ICC Pudu is the kind of place where every corner hides a delicious surprise.
Here are 9 must-try stalls you should not miss when visiting this bustling food paradise.
1. Bunn Choon 品泉茶室
Few bakeries in Kuala Lumpur carry as much history as Bunn Choon. Established in 1893, this iconic brand has been serving traditional pastries for over a century and is now run by the fourth generation of the Wong family.
The stall is famous for its silky smooth Portuguese-style egg tarts, baked fresh throughout the day. Each tart features a delicate flaky crust and a rich custard centre that is creamy, fragrant and lightly caramelised on top.
Besides egg tarts, they also produce classic pastries such as mooncakes and dim sum items, blending traditional recipes with modern baking techniques.
⭐ Signature: Egg Tarts
2. Imbi Kuih Baskul 宽记炸年糕
This humble stall has been satisfying snack lovers for more than 40 years. Many Malaysians grew up eating their famous deep-fried kuih bakul, and the stall continues to attract long queues every day.
Fresh batches are fried continuously, filling the air with a sweet aroma. The batter is thin and crisp, giving way to a soft and chewy glutinous rice cake inside.
There are several variations available, including banana fritters and red bean fillings, but the most popular item is the triple-layer kuih bakul, which combines yam, sweet potato and glutinous cake in one delicious bite.
It’s the perfect sweet snack while exploring the food court.
⭐ Signature: Triple Kuih Bakul
3. La La Rice Noodles Soup 上汤啦啦米粉
Seafood lovers should head straight to this stall, which is well known for its comforting bowl of lala bee hoon soup.
The star of the dish is the generous portion of fresh clams, cooked in a fragrant broth infused with ginger and Chinese rice wine. The soup is light yet deeply savoury, with natural sweetness from the seafood.
The rice noodles soak up the flavourful broth beautifully, making each mouthful warm and satisfying. With its generous clam portions and balanced taste, it’s no surprise this stall has built a loyal following among locals.

4. Ming Sifu Rice Wine Buns 明师傅黄酒鸡包
This stall specialises in a unique traditional snack that is rarely seen today — rice wine chicken buns.
The fluffy bun hides a flavourful filling of tender chicken, wood ear mushrooms and ginger strips. What makes it special is the addition of Chinese rice wine, which gives the filling a subtle aromatic sweetness.
The bun skin is soft yet slightly chewy, while the filling is juicy and well balanced. Many customers buy boxes of these buns to take home, as they taste just as good even when cooled.
⭐ Signature: Wine Chicken Bun
5. Ahfook Cheong Fun Yong Tao Fu 阿福肠粉釀豆腐
If you enjoy yong tau fu, this stall offers a refreshing twist on the classic dish. The fish paste used here is made from fresh fish, giving the stuffed items a bouncy and natural texture.
Instead of just tofu, the stall also stuffs vegetables such as long beans, mushrooms, bitter gourd and broccoli, creating a colourful selection of ingredients.
Everything is lightly fried before being served with smooth cheong fun (rice rolls) and topped with a sweet house-made sauce. The combination of soft rice rolls, stuffed vegetables and savoury fish paste creates a very satisfying plate.
⭐ Signature: Yong Tao Fu
6. Hong Kong Famous Roast Meals 香港名廚燒臘麵飯店
For lovers of Cantonese roast meats, this stall is a must-visit. It is often one of the busiest stalls in ICC Pudu, with customers queuing for its beautifully roasted meats.
Expect classics such as crispy roast pork, roast duck, char siew and soy sauce chicken, served with rice or noodles. The meats are well prepared with fragrant seasoning and juicy texture.
One thing customers appreciate is that the stall maintains a clean roasting process, so the food tastes fresh and aromatic without any greasy aftertaste.
⭐ Signature: Wanton Mee
7. LiNTANG 138 瓦煲咖啡
Coffee lovers should not miss LiNTANG 138, the stall that introduced KL to the idea of claypot coffee.
Instead of brewing coffee in regular kettles, the drink is prepared in traditional claypots. The claypot retains heat well, allowing the coffee to develop a deeper aroma and thicker body.
The beans used come from a mix of origins such as Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam, giving the coffee a rich and balanced flavour. Apart from coffee, they also serve claypot tea, kopi-cham and other kopitiam drinks.
⭐ Signature: Hainanese Coffee
8. Special Teochew Steam Hor Fun 特色潮州蒸大板
This stall might look simple, but the dish it serves is surprisingly unique. The Teochew-style steamed hor fun features thick rice noodles paired with fresh seafood such as fish and prawns.
The dish is finished with ingredients like tomatoes and a squeeze of lime, creating a refreshing balance of sweet, savoury and slightly tangy flavours.
The combination may sound unusual, but the result is incredibly appetising. It’s a dish that stands out from the usual fried noodle options and is worth trying for something different.
⭐ Signature: Steam Fish Hor Fun
9. Ann Nasi Lemak
Nasi lemak is Malaysia’s national dish, but Ann Nasi Lemak offers a unique Chinese-style interpretation.
Instead of the usual Malay side dishes, the stall serves nasi lemak with options like curry pork skin, pork curry, sambal cockles and minced pork with petai.
The rice is fragrant and fluffy, cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaves. What truly elevates the dish is the house-made sambal, prepared daily using dried shrimp, belacan and onions for a deep umami flavour.
It’s a bold and flavourful version of nasi lemak that many regulars keep coming back for.
⭐ Signature: Nasi Lemak
