| - Family-run, take-out joint. Really friendly service from Brian at the counter. I highly recommend calling in the order and then picking it up.
Their desserts! Most of which are only available on the weekends and sell out quickly. Kuih lapis in particular. I really like peeling the layers and eating them one by one.
They open at 11 am, and if you're there at 2 pm looking for the desserts, you are so out of luck. And that's usually me. And yes, I know, Gourmet Malaysia sells Malay desserts on the weekends to go, too. (Thanks, but pass.) But, the ones at One2Snacks are so much better. If it's a special occasion or if I have the urge, I will wake up specifically to line up and have my massive dose of Malay desserts. Their Malay desserts are just that good.
That said, if you place your order ahead of time or even email your order, Brian will set aside what you want for you. I have never actually tried this, but Brian tells me about this option every time I miss out. ....Which is so so so often.
Noodles are their specialty. Many Yelp reviews go on about their Char Kway Teow. I think it's okay, but just that. Same goes for their other noodle dishes (Meehoon Siam, Mee Goreng, Hokkien Meen, Loh Meen). I can't say any of their noodles are what I call "supremely-to-die-for-stellar." A decent deal and filling, but not what I would order from One2Snacks. [Side note: I doubt most people or places can make any of these dishes to the impossible standard of how grandma used to make it. That and the nostalgia.]
Wat Tan Hor is a my favourite main dish from One2Snacks. It's a little bit saltier than I would like it to be, but I don't know anywhere else that makes it. Soupy, eggy, a couple of shrimps and balls. I also think their Curry Laksa and Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce are both pretty good too.
So, to sum up. Come, if you can, for their desserts. If not, have their Curry Laksa, Wat Tan Hor, Chicken Satay. Also not mentioned, but would recommend: Nasi Lamak. I also like their Roti Canai (not available on weekends).
