Albee's Kitchen

Push past the plastic butcher-style curtain strips and into a tiny slice of Malaysia. Resplendent with laminate tables, menu photos line the walls while cheerful staff shuffle about. Albee's channels hawker style at its most authentic: basic, yes, but you're not here for the scenery. Chubby curry puffs, stuffed with aromatic chicken curry and half a boiled egg are all buttery flakiness outside and fragrantly spicy within. The silky textured Hainanese chicken is a winner, as is wok-fired char kway teow, dotted with tiny mussels and anchored by earthy house-made lap cheong. Grab some kueh for a sweet fix on the road.
