Lontong and Such Review

I have never been a huge fan of Lontong simply because it’s just so hard to find a good plate of authentic Lontong in PJ or KL area. However, in recent years since the Covid19 pandemic, I have started to re-explore our local Malaysian food scene to try and re-discover some of the good old […]
