| - The place is tucked in the Ossington strip of restaurants and boutique shops. It's small and cozy, and depending where you sit, it's hard to get up to go to the washroom. Speaking of that, it's in the basement. They kept it modern and clean with one room for each gender. I wasn't a big fan of the wallpaper or the decor. Nothing spoke out Malaysian (fusion) to me.
The entrance could have a better set up for the server/host to greet the customers. Things were placed on two stools.
We were early and were offered water right away. Throughout the dinner, water was refilled without asking. They were informative on the night's special entree and the ingredients that are used in the desserts.
Meals: (1) The lettuce wrap with two (pieces of) soft shell crabs was small and I believe it's not worth $11. There's better deal out there for an app like this at a Japanese place. (2) The red chili wings looked good and it was actually hot in temperature which was nice since you know they just fried them!!! It had a good sauce to it, just a bit tiny on the size of the wings. (3) Char Kway Teow fried rice noodle was not worth it at all. It came with three shrimps, not prawns as the menu stated. I ordered this dish because it was recommended by other Yelpers. It reminds me of a "pad thai" or stir-fried noodle at a chinese place. The sauce was bland, but the spicy sauce that came with it was a lot better. They didn't add hardly any veggies, just bean sprouts, so it looked "blah". A little bit of red peppers, green peppers and coriander would have made the dish stand out! (4) My friend ordered the Laksa and he said the sauce was great that he took it home, but the quantity was not enough that he felt hungry still. A joke was that we should try the Cubana place next door to fill up our tummies after this experience. (5) Sago sago was for dessert and they were disappointed as they say it wasn't worth the money. My friend said she could make it better!!
Verdict: I felt for a Malaysian type of restaurant, it was over-priced for the quantity and quality of food. The service was appreciated and they always had a smile on their faces! So will I go back, probably not. There's other restaurants on that street that I would love to try.
