| - I totally understand the pull that everybody has to Restoran Malaysia considering our lack of mainstream Malay/Indo restaurant scene. I'm also putting a disclaimer that I might be biased because I'm Indonesian and get a chance to eat this type of food regularly :) On with the review!
I went here twice for dinner in the past few months, first as a large group of 30 ppl (poor waitresses did a good job taking care of us all) and then as a group of 4 people, both times sharing the entire meal. I hadn't gone there in a looong time till this year. I still remember this place when it was a hole in the wall, before they expanded the restaurant and totally reno'd the place!
We tried a whole range of items: laksa, roti, fried chicken, nasi goreng, bami goreng, lamb curry, fish, rendang... I liked the laksa, which was a huge bowl, pretty rich from the coconut milk and flavourful. I also really loved the fish.. which I can only guess was the hot and spicy sambal version because it was HOT and I loved that. The fish had good texture and the sauce.. I would drink it. Or if I had rice, I'd completely soak it in sauce and eat that. The roti is great for soaking up sauce, but $2 for one piece of roti is a bit much.
In the end, we each ended up paying close to $30, no alcohol involved. I think several of their dishes are overpriced. I would only come here again if my friend absolutely HAD to come here, otherwise, I could think of other places I could go to for half the price and enjoy just as much.
