Established back in 1997, this neighborhood staple has been drawing locals for nearly three decades. Recently, I headed there with my sister and her extended family—a big group of 10—which gave me the perfect opportunity to sample a wide variety of their signature dishes!

The Star of the Show: Signature Steamed Soong Fish Head

You can’t visit Restoran LFF without ordering their Steamed Soong Fish Head. It is the dish that put them on the map. What makes it special? Affordability: At only RM 33 per portion, it is easily one of the most value-for-money fish head dishes in Kuala Lumpur.

Variety: They offer six different sauces to choose from, including Soya Sauce, Minced Ginger, Salted Black Bean, and Spicy Bean Sauce. For our dinner, we went with the Minced Ginger version. The fish was fresh, the portion was generous, and the ginger gave it that perfect spicy, aromatic kick.

What We Ordered: A Family Feast

Dining with 10 people meant our table was overflowing! Here is the breakdown of our meal:

The Vibe & Service

It’s perfect for families who want a no-fuss meal without the "fancy restaurant" price tag.

Auntie Lilly’s Final Verdict

Will I be back? Yes! While some dishes were hit-and-miss, the Steamed Song Fish Head is enough of a reason to return. It’s rare to find such high-quality steamed fish at an RM33 price point in the city. If you’re visiting, I suggest sticking to their signature fish dishes and the crowd-favorite stir-frys like the Lala and Salted Egg Sotong.
