Must-try: Hokkien Mee | Find it at:#04-02 Food Republic
Despite the cluster of stalls at Wisma’s Food Republic, this still stands out amongst others with its specialty - Hokkien Mee. Every day, you would always see this serious-looking dude with a tattered hat mixing it in a big wok and dumping other ingredients like nobody’s business. But somehow his cooking always comes out consistently good – noodles are al dente and there’s just enough broth to slurp.

The Baby Champ Cheesecake is their bestseller and always sold out by about 3pm, showing the popularity of the place. If you do happen to be there, try their Vanilla Crepe Cake, a kueh lapis-eque layered cake that comes with a berry reduction to pour over; sweet heaven in a mouthful.

Must-try: Spike D | Find it at: #B1-08 Paragon
It seems great flavours don't always look the part and the Spike D creation from Big O Cafe certainly has more than meets the eye. A simple matte chocolate finish hides a soft sponge cake tinged delightfully with the aroma of durian mousse. Recommended for durian and chocolate lovers alike!
