  • This meal was something completely different than what I'm used to as far as eating Asian. Firstly it's not very often I'm in this area of town (Scarborough) so it's a whole new experience in itself. I didn't know what to really expect because I have no real experience with Malaysian dishes but I am more familiar with other cuisines from Asia. The venue is rather large and seems like the seating is practically like a banquet hall for some of the round tables with chairs dressed. We were a party of 10 so it sort of was a perfect fit for family style ordering with the lazy susan in the middle making for easier access to the dishes. The host of the evening ordered for everyone with some suggestions and requests made taken into consideration. We had a wide variety of dishes for our party of 10. We started off with chicken and beef roti starters (different servings). The roti were smaller than I'm used to, not as soft and fluffy, and thick but still layered and seemed to be grilled. Next we had a combination of beef and chicken satay skewers with sides of peanut sauce. Those were good and went over well. We had 2 whole chickens one was Hainanese and the other was Hainanese deep fried version. Each order comes as a half chicken so basically it was 2 orders of each. Crispy butter prawns, a fried fish dish I'm not sure of the name, another beef dish, stingray (yes, stingray!), a chicken broth rice and rice noodles. I think that was everything. The food was a little different than other Asian cuisines but with some similarities. The chicken that wasn't fried seemed really rubbery and the skin tasted almost as if it wasn't cooked but it was probably just boiled. It's hard to say. The flavors were good, just different. The fish dishes were hard to make out and take apart. Each dish only really had regular sized forks and/or spoons to serve with which made it hard especially when you can't see the fish because it's covered in sauce. The larger of the fish was really hard to separate and serve and seemed rather bony. The rice was really good, it had a hint of ginger in it and I could describe it to be a less watered down version of congee almost because it wasn't soup. The rice noodles were very good. Overall it seemed some dishes were better than others and while some things were very different I can't say that it was so much to my liking. I am probably just too used to the way certain dishes are cooked that I probably couldn't appreciate it the same way such as the fish which was hard to serve because it was harder to make out. The service was really good however. They have one of those radio call devices to signal if you'd like water, if you're ready or order or you'd like the bill etc. There are buttons on this thing meant just for that. Basically they know when you want when you press a button! The food for me just seemed to be OK. Some dishes were better than others and the menu is really overwhelming. I think I counted 322 items as each are numbered. There are so many things it's hard to get a good overall understanding of that menu because there are just so many choices.
