Fifty Tales is a modern destination serving Malaysian Chinese cuisine in the vibrant neighborhood of Seapark PJ. Widely regarded as one of the best contemporary dining spots in Petaling Jaya, this innovative noodle bar and restaurant seamlessly reimagines traditional flavors with fine-dining precision. Whether you are looking for a satisfying solo lunch, a casual evening meal, or a memorable destination for group dining, Fifty Tales delivers an unforgettable culinary journey through the rich nostalgia of Malaysian heritage. The Vision & Culinary Team At the heart of Fifty Tales is a deep-rooted philosophy of honoring old-school comfort food while elevating it for a new generation of foodies. The kitchen is spearheaded by award-winning chef-owner Aaron Khor, recognized as BURO’s Chef of the Year. Drawing from his fine-dining pedigree at acclaimed establishments like the two-Michelin-starred Dewakan and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants’ Locavore, Chef Aaron seamlessly infuses meticulous technical skill into humble, everyday flavors. Alongside co-founders Aaron Phua and Bimmy Soh, the team focuses on locally sourced ingredients and a rigorous research-and-development process to create menus that have garnered accolades from Tatler Asia and local critics alike. A Tale of Two Menus: Lunch vs. Dinner The dining experience at Fifty Tales evolves beautifully throughout the day to cater to every craving, making it a versatile option for family-friendly dining or an adventurous foodie date night: The Lunch Experience (Noodle Bar Classics): The daytime crowd gathers for signature, completely hand-beaten egg noodles—affectionately dubbed Ren Li Mian ("human strength") due to the labor-intensive process of kneading without alkaline. A crowd favorite is the 'OG Style' Noodles, tossed in aromatic pork lard and soy sauce, and served with a jammy egg and melt-in-your-mouth beer-braised pork belly. The 'Cincai' Dinner (Contemporary Sharing Plates): As the sun sets, individual bowls make way for inventive, family-style Chinese home-cooked meals with a modern twist. The evening menu features sharing plates like the years-in-development roasted corn-fed chicken leg, a signature Peranakan Nyonya Laksa, and the playful duck egg kaya muachee served on a cashew nut tuile. Ambiance & Experience Housed in a charming corner lot that perfectly balances an old Chinese home feel with contemporary design, Fifty Tales strikes the ideal chord between a laid-back local eatery and a premium dining hotspot. Backed by attentive service, artisanal craft sodas, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, it remains a standout gem in Selangor’s thriving culinary scene. Come for the world-class springy noodles, and stay for the stories told through every single bite.
We love Fifty Tales for its genius reimagining of Malaysian Chinese comfort food. Helmed by Chef of the Year Aaron Khor, this sleek Seapark gem seamlessly bridges casual neighborhood dining with fine-dining finesse. Hit them up at lunch for springy, hand-beaten egg noodles like the lard-kissed ‘OG Style’ with beer-braised pork belly. By dinner, the open kitchen shines with inventive sharing plates like their signature roasted corn-fed chicken. Crowned a Tatler Asia Rising Star, its relaxed atmosphere and artisanal craft cocktails make it an unmissable foodie hotspot.
