This was my first time trying Malaysian cuisine and I absolutely loved it. The menu is great and self explanatory, the waiters are helpful and nice, and I like the vibe and the bamboo interior. The food was absolutely delicious. I asked for mine to be super mild and it was, but still very much flavorful. The homemade roti canai is a must try! I’ll definitely be back for more. 😋

Excellent tasty food served with care. The owner personally took our orders and provided humble service. This was my first time trying this style of cuisine and I was pleasantly surprised. Moreover, they have vegeterian options too. There is plenty of indoor seating for small groups to meet up. Highly recommend this place

Visited here on New Year’s Eve, had a lunch, we had ordered - Indian mee goreng, fried chicken wings and the Thai pineapple fried rice. The mee goreng was really good and flavorful, the wings had a mild flavor and the sauce that came with it was good. However the fried rice was bland. Overall a decent experience.

the food and experience was quite disappointing. man upfront (in glasses) was so unfriendly and unwelcoming. i asked what was in the nasi lemak and he showed me a picture (i can see that) but there’s no description whatsoever, he couldn’t care to explain? my husband was asking how long this business has been, he side eye then answered insincerely “19 years” ok small talk is not your thing it’s fine but attitude needs to be in check. the place was dull and staff just looks so unhappy. it’s kinda sad tbh. it’s like their unhappiness reflects in the way they treat people. for the food — martabak has super thin layer of beef. dough was severely undercooked. you could definitely made this with a tad bit more oil and increase the heat of the griddle. the curry it came with was super watered d

I went to this restaurant for dinner because it was an easy walking distance from my hotel near the Convention Center. I decided to get Chow Kueh Teow, and it was really good 👍 Its “smoky” flavor was delicious. I thought I would not be able to finish it, but I did. The downside was that I had no space for one of their attractive desserts 😊 The service was efficient, and the restaurant was peaceful (I came in just after 8 PM). I’ll come back to try the dessert next time.
