Came here based on the reviews. Not a bad place but I think you can do better in the city.
Pros:
Lots of Malaysian dishes to choose from
Plenty of seating
Cons:
Dishes in comparison to other places could be better
We were feeling Malaysian and we knew about this place in the past because we frequent the Chinese places around the area here a lot. Based on the reviews we went in with some expectations. We were immediately seated on a Saturday night even though the place was busy because they have ample seating here.
We ordered the sambal chicken, beef rendang with petai, curry laksa and a seafood rice noodle for our little one to munch on. The food comes out rather quickly and here are some thoughts on the first three:
sambal chicken: This dish was too tomato-y and didn't have enough sambal sauce taste to it. I had a better sambal taste at congee wong with one of their noodles.
beef rendang: This was probably my favourite of the four. Too bad the portions are minuscule. It was served on a side dish plate with about 10-12 pieces of beef.
curry laksa: Lemongrass on Bayview had one of the best laksas I've ever had and I use that as a benchmark. The laksa here was OK, but the soup was definitely not as rich as it could be.
All in all, the dishes were OK but they all could of been better. If I had never had Malaysian food before, I think I would rated these much higher. Because I have something to compare to, it made it a bit tougher on this place.
The prices here are pretty good. Most non-seafood dishes here are under $10. I like this place but I admit I have my favourites elsewhere. It's still a nice place to go to for a south east Asian meal.
