Some restaurants offer exotics foods like frogs. Restoran Yenn has Japanese snails.

Venison is available in Cu Cha Restaurant, Restoran Yenn, Restoran Sai Woo, Restoran Meng Kee Grill Fish and Restoran Lim Kee.

To fully experience Jalan Alor, take a stroll down the entire stretch. Soak in the sights, smells, and sounds, and perhaps indulge in a few small plates before committing to a single restaurant. This allows you to sample a wider variety and truly discover hidden gems.
