| - As every other reviewer says, the standout on this menu is the great Laksa, a seafood and noodle soup with spicy coconut broth, tofu, egg, and few token cruciferous veg. If you haven't had it, try it!
The rest of the menu is quite minimal, with some of that small set appearing to cater to unadventurous workers from the surrounding industrial park (e.g. spring rolls and sweet and sour chicken), just to pay the bills. Evidence of this is that the server was visibly excited when we ordered both the Laksa and the Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang (one of only three off-the-beaten path options). The Nasi Lemak is a coconut rice infused with lemon grass, and topped with green onion and crispy anchovy bits. This was a nice change from regular rice, with the anchovies definitely adding some punch without being really overpowering. The beef rendang was also quite good, a mild red curry that paired nicely with the rice...though I give the edge to the rendang at Indonesian Kitchen in my Ultimate Pan-Restaurant Menu.
If this was a food truck, they would get away with just these few good ethnic menu items, but as a restaurant, it falls a bit short on selection, hence my 3 star rating. The prices seem to have gone up recently. I selfishly hope they're squirreling the extra cash away to bring us a full menu, in which case 4 or 5 stars will definitely be in order!
