| - Decent food and fairly large portions, but a bit on the pricier side. I came with some friends and ordered the Mixed Mutton/Chicken Satays, Roti and Curry Mutton, Belacan Water Glory, Pad Thai and Singapore Laksa. I appreciate their big, bold flavours, and the spiciness level was tolerable (I usually can't handle too much spice). Side note, the waitress taking our order was incredibly knowledgable and helpful when selecting our dishes, so don't be afraid to ask questions!
Now on to the food!
Mixed Mutton/Chicken Satays: The meat was dry, but was ok when covered in their peanut dipping sauce. The sauce itself was very flavourful, with little chunks of peanut in it. It was a bit awkward trying to dip the skewer into the tiny bowl without resorting to double dipping. Use a spoon to add the sauce.
Roti and Curry Mutton: The curry mutton was delicious! The lamb was tender and pretty much melted in your mouth. Curry sauce was pretty standard, but the lamb was definitely the star. The waitress recommended we order more roti, as we were four people, but the dish only came with two rotis. Problem was that with four rotis, we didn't quite have enough curry to go around.
Belacan Water Glory: I've had water glory before, but never with belacan. I had to google belacan, and turns out it's a shrimp paste, which explains the strong umami flavour to the dish. They added some spice to give it a kick, making it a pretty nice vegetable (though not vegetarian) dish.
Pad Thai: Pretty standard pad thai. Nothing too notable.
Singapore Laksa: We originally wanted to order the Penang Assam Laksa, but our waitress said that was quite sour and recommended we try the Singapore Laksa instead so we did. At first glance, it can look intimidating because the soup base is quite orange, but it's not that spicy at all. The noodles were soft and chewy, and the bean sprouts added a nice crunch. The broth was very flavourful which is nice because the rest of the contents were quite bland (noodles, bean sprouts, tofu, chicken, fish cakes, etc). I didn't like how much oil was in it though. You can see the little pools of oil floating at the surface of the broth, which can be a turn off.
Note: Cash only, so come prepared.
It's a nice place to come with friends, as the seating is quite spacious and the ambience isn't too noisy. The lighting is on the dark side, which can be tricky if you want to take nice photos... All in all, it's an ok place, and I would probably come again.
