| - This is a "fusion" restaurant, so the people looking for a completely authentic meal will be disappointed. That said, the flavors aren't bad here.
I had the roti canai, steak & chicken satay, and the curry laksa. The roti canai was the most disappointing. It is basically identical to the frozen canai/pratha that you can buy from many Asian supermarkets. However, the accompanyin curry was quite good, which redeems it a little.
The satay was the opposite; the peanut sauce was disappointing (too thick and too sweet), but the meat was quite good. The satay here has that charred flavor that is unique to satay. However, the chicken satay could have used more seasoning, the flavor was definitely on the weak side. Another thing they could do to improve the satay is to use less meat on each skewer and increase the number of skewers in each serving. I bet if they cooked it that way, the flavor of each skewer will improve significantly.
The curry laksa was also decent. Instead of my preferred choice of short thick rice noodles, they serve the laksa with vermicilli (bee hoon) and egg noodles. My least favorite part was the slices of chicken breast that were in the noodle; they were just very bland. The fish balls were decent, though I'm more familiar with fish cakes in laksa. The fried tofu was the best part of the dish.
Overall, the flavors here are pretty good, just don't expect a completely authentic dining experience.
