Cahaya is one of the cheapest places for a Halal meal in town, located on the 5th floor of Far East Plaza. Cahaya restaurant serves a wide array of Chinese dishes from claypot noodles to fried rice. Everything on the menu is sedap gila (very tasty), but my favourite is the crab-meat noodles.

There are two teams for those who frequent the 5th floor of Far East Plaza: The Puncak Team and the Cahaya Team. Puncak is located just beside Cahaya Restaurant (#2), and the food is equally affordable. There are two extra scrumptious dishes on the menu: Fried Wanton and Claypot Rice. In Puncak, Malay-Muslims can have their Chinese-style Tze Char.

They are also famous for their long queues, and that could only mean one thing – the food is damn good! You should also try their Yumburger and Jollibee spaghetti.
