The Malaysian Fried rice and traditional laksa were very good. The Hainanese chicken rice was good too but portion is small. Don’t recommend the dessert chendol, very far off from what you get in Malaysia/Singapore.
They have special offers during lunch time. Not for dinner. Happy hour there is two cocktails by 15. I ordered the traditional Laksa, it was a bit spicy but nothing incredibly spicy and I have low tolerance.
Delicious delicious food. Super quick service. We were able to change things on the menu for vegetarian options and were surprised with how good it was. Selected the Nasi Goreng which originally had prawns, chicken and anchovies and they replaced these ingredients with edamame, tofu and egg. Good atmosphere and cute upstairs seating area.
I went here for a meal with my friends and was very impressed with the overall experience. One of my friends had booked the table in advance, which meant we were sat downstairs - walk-in’s are upstairs. I arrived about 10 minutes before the booking and there was a fairly long queue outside, which is generally a good sign (it was a Thursday evening). Although the restaurant was quite small, it didn’t feel cramped at all, and the size actually meant that my friends and I were able to have conversations without needing the shout. The service was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Our main server took our orders promptly and also made dish recommendations. He was jovial and smiley which added to the experience. Obviously, the main reason I was there was to eat, and the food did not disappoint! We ordered an array of starters to share between us, and I would particularly recommend the Roti Canai, which was incredible! For mains, I got the Nasi Goreng Kampung (spicier version), which was one of the tastiest things I’ve eaten this year! It was filling and extremely satisfying. It was also very reasonably priced, which each of our meals coming to around 40. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I will certainly be returning.
Saw this place on instagram and bought my family here. We are not a huge fan of meat, and love seafood, and thankfully they had some seafood options we could enjoy. ...
We enjoyed Nasi Goreng Kampung, traditional laksa, nasi lemak, and roti canai. Everything was delicious, but the nasi lemak was exceptional; it was among the best I've ever tasted. The roti canai was surprisingly good with its accompanying sauce. The service was also amazing.
Definitely recommended if you’re missing home! The dishes were spot on and service by Fong was excellent The atmosphere on the second floor was really cozy, which I think is great for small gatherings. Overall, it’s definitely value for money!
The laksa is the best I’ve had outside of Malaysia and the iced lemon tea was perfect and not too sweet.
