Honestly, I don't actually know whether they own the piece of land they use. Tables on the sidewalk with a makeshift tin roof overhead, even though this store been around for at least 30 years, technically, it has no address. For the brave and adventurous, this is the real deal local hotspot for the best fish head curry. Get ready for long lunch lines. It will be confusing and messy for the unaccustomed, but there is method to the madness.

Upmarket grocery store that emphasises on bringing in the best of international foods. Have a good chance of finding that food item that you're craving from home. However, a little further out in Sri Hartamas (which is worth exploring too!)
