However, O&S receives high praise from patrons for having delicious food from every individual store.
This place claims to have one of the best asam laksas in PJ, with very similar notes as Penang’s version.
Topped with a generous amount of mackerel, thinly sliced cucumbers, onions, springs of mint leaves, shredded pineapple, and a spoonful of prawn paste, their asam laksa tops every other stall here.

Thong Kee Cafe Glenmarie
Known for its Hainanese breakfast menu including kaya toasts, croissants and Hainan coffee, Thong Kee is a second home to Sea Park-ians.
People flog over despite the difficulty in finding parking, and that’s how you know how great the food here is.
Their homemade croissants are what makes them stand out from the rest. It’s delectable buttery flavor combined with the flakiness of the pastry makes it a great source of carbs that you can dip into your coffee with.
Besides the traditional butter and kaya filling croissant, they also serve a savory one stuffed with ham and cheese which some people prefer more.
People also love this place for their aromatic and authentic Hainan coffee.
