About

Kak Som Kampung Baru is a long standing Malay restaurant in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur, an area widely known for traditional Malay food and strong cultural identity. Located on Jalan Raja Muda Musa, the restaurant draws regular local diners, office workers, and visitors looking for east coast Malaysian dishes, especially recipes influenced by Kelantan and Terengganu cooking styles.


The restaurant is recognised for nasi kerabu and laksam, two dishes closely linked to east coast food traditions. Nasi kerabu features herb mixed rice served with raw vegetables, sambal, salted egg, keropok, and protein choices such as ayam percik or fried fish. Among locals, nasi kerabu is commonly eaten for breakfast or late morning meals because it is filling without being heavy and combines fresh herbs with spicy and savoury elements.

Laksam is another regular choice and is often associated with comfort food in Malay households. The dish consists of thick rolled rice noodles served in a creamy fish gravy prepared with coconut milk, herbs, and spices. It is usually eaten for breakfast or lunch and is especially popular among diners looking for traditional kampung style meals.

Kak Som also serves nasi campur, a daily staple for many Malaysians. Diners select from trays of cooked dishes such as gulai, sambal seafood, fried chicken, beef rendang, and stir fried vegetables. This style of dining reflects everyday Malaysian eating habits where variety and home style cooking are prioritised.

The restaurant sits within walking distance of other well known Kampung Baru food vendors, making it a practical stop during a Kuala Lumpur food exploration. Kak Som remains relevant because it continues to serve regional Malay dishes that reflect daily local eating patterns and culinary heritage.
