00:00Welcome to Lima Pulo at Tongshin Terrace, where nostalgia and nyonya flavors meet in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
00:08This heritage building instantly transports you to the 1930s, where high ceilings, stained glass windows, vintage chairs and antique cabinets breathe history into every corner.
00:22But Lima Pulo isn't just about nostalgia, it's about food made with love.
00:27True Puranakan cuisine, crafted with care and served with heart.
00:32Start with the quintessential nyonya snack, Pai Ti.
00:36These light tart shells deliver bold, well-balanced flavors.
00:40Topped with a fresh prawn and fragrant sambal, it's a flavor explosion in every bite.
00:46Another Puranakan classic is the Roti Jale with Chicken Curry.
00:50These lacy pancakes are soft and tender, perfect for soaking up the rich, fragrant chicken curry.
00:57It's a dish that feels like comfort on a plate.
01:01Then comes the star, nyonya laksa.
01:04Unlike the fiery curry laksa you might expect, this version draws on Puranakan roots with the addition of turmeric, galangal, lemongrass and coconut milk.
01:13The result is a comforting bowl, aromatic, coconutty and just mildly spicy.
01:19For dessert, refresh with a serving of cendol, smooth coconut milk, finely shaved ice and smoky sweet gula melaka.
01:29It's simply irresistible.
01:31So is the chilled sago gula melaka.
01:34Soft, silky pearls with just a hint of saltiness to balance the sweetness.
01:38And there's more.
01:39From the same kitchen comes Oma Jawa Resto, Limapulo's sister brand serving hearty Javanese dishes.
01:47The gado gado is a flavor-packed Indonesian salad.
01:50Crunchy vegetables, tempeh and hard-boiled egg coated in a spicy, sweet peanut sauce that's totally addictive.
01:58Or try the Rawon Komplet, a soulful beef stew from East Java.
02:04This herbal broth is earthy and comforting.
02:07Paired with rice, sambal and salted egg, it's a beautiful combination of flavors.
02:13Ultimately, Limapulo at Dongshin Terrace is more than just a restaurant.
02:18It's a time capsule of heritage and flavor.
02:21A place where history lingers on the walls and every dish feels like home.
