Big Tree Lin Kee Steamed Fish Head • Connaught • 大树头连记蒸鱼头

Just arrived KL. We were taken to lunch at this restaurant at Taman Connaught, Cheras KL. It's a very old restaurant that started under a tree, that's how it got it's name. The food was very good & prices were very reasonable. The servings were big. That's why she survived for a long time and expanded to another outlet. We ordered a steamed fish head, pork belly with salted fish, belachan mixed veggie, seafood tofu, and sweet potato leaves. All eaten with rice. The menu is quite standard. That's how the turn around was pretty fast although the crowd was large during lunch time. If you could compromise with a not so pleasant environment & close an eye on hygiene, you can have a tasty meal with very reasonable price here. The toilet was at the back of another house opposite the back lane!! As for parking, one had to find an empty space at the back lane & depending on one's lucky star. 🙏👌

A hidden gem! I tried their two recommended dishes — both were just nice and satisfying. The fish was the real highlight — fresh and nicely cooked. The place has a traditional, old-school feel that’s very relaxing. Feels like one of those spots only the locals know about. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy simple, good-quality food in a laid-back setting.

Short and simple! Fish was fresh, sauce was very tasty!! Coconut chicken soup very delightful!! Very sad that our stomach was still full if not we order more dishes to eat.. overall very good and sure to come back eat again. 👍🏻👍🏻

This place has been in existence for more than 20 years (that's counting the first time I discovered it by chance when I squeezed into this lorong to avoid the after school traffic jam). Of course, the main dish to try is the fish head, be it steam with garlic, bean paste or cheong-cheng. Many years ago, they use to serve stingray asam pedals which is absolutely wonderful but alas that is no longer on the menu. Lunch time crowd is packed. It's absolutely necessary to book ahead to avoid waiting. Since it very shady, it is not very hot even during the midday sun overhead. Plenty of fans to ventilate and dissipate away the heat. Parking is a challenge as the back lane is quite narrow but there are plenty more available at the residential area. Many-many years ago, there is no toilet facility and the arrangement is to use the one at the opposite house. However, things have improved since they bought over the house. For those who did not make reservations, chairs are provided outside to wait in queue.

Our first time here. This is a simple food but tastes amazing. The ginger steam fish was absolutely amazing and a must try. Next to it will be the long beans n stinky beans combo (never have I tasted that combo before) just wow. Their home made tofu is also good. And their thin sliced pork belly..... Wah.... Juicy, tender n so flavorful. A must try for all locals. Parking can be tricky, so plan ahead there.

One of the Best Authentic Home Cook Food with a reasonable price. Friendly staff and superb fast services, the food will be ready within 15 mins. BTLK is open from 10:30am to 3:00pm. Recommended: Ginger steam fish (whoever loves gingers, fresh and nicely done), Cheong Cheng fish head, and pork belly claypot (tasty with salted fish savoury 😋) and salted fish bean sprout.
