Woo Pin 45 Kamunting Kuala Lumpur, Heritage Noodles with a Cult Following

#kualalumpurguide Located in a pre war shophouse on Jalan Kamunting, Woo Pin 45 offers a nostalgic yet refined take on the classic fish head noodle. The ambiance blends rustic charm with modern touches wooden furniture, vintage tiles, and a semi open kitchen that lets you watch the action. Known for its 30 year old recipe, the signature milky fish broth is rich with ginger, Chinese wine, and salted vegetables, served with options like fried grouper, fish paste, or pork. The egg tart and cham (yuanyang) are also local favorites, rounding out a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

While the food draws loyal fans, service can be hit or miss. Some diners praise the depth of flavor and authenticity, while others report long waits and inconsistent hospitality during peak hours. Still, for those seeking a taste of old school KL with a branded twist, Woo Pin 45 Kamunting remains a go to spot especially if you arrive early to beat the lunch crowd and soak in the quiet charm of its heritage setting.
