| - Good, solid Malaysian/Indonesian food! Happy to have found this place, and another reason to come to the GTA. :)
While this place isn't exactly cheap eats, we were on vacation, and they serve up some great satisfying comfort food. Husband and I went a little crazy with the ordering because we just wanted to sample everything. Great leftovers though! :)
This is what we got:
- Fried Fish Cakes (appetizer, $9 for 4 pieces): Similar to Teo Chew style fish cakes, these were individual fish cake "patties". Good texture without being too chewy, but the plum sauce was meh for me.
- Roti Canai with Mutton Curry (appetizer, $10 for 2 pieces): As good as we've found outside of Singapore! The texture of the roti wasn't thick and crispy, but chewy. Very nice. Mutton was of good quality and had decent amount, but would have liked it be either in smaller cubes or shredded to facilitate the wrapping. Great curry flavor though, on the sweeter side.
- Nasi Goreng (entree, $10): A mixture of chicken, beef, shrimp, vegetables, and A WHOLE FRIED EGG ON TOP(!!!!), this fried rice was probably our favorite of the evening. Reminiscent of our favorite fried rice in Indonesia, this really came close. The key difference being that the rice was cooked in chicken broth really transcended the flavors of this dish. The subtle curry undertones added to this wondrous taste. Portion was very generous and provided leftovers for days.
- Chinese Broccoli Stir-Fry with Garlic ($10): Nothing special, but the vegetables were fresh. It was oddly plated in that it was served in a bowl? lol Did they run out of plates? It was a little odd, but not a big deal.
- Kue Ketayap (Coconut Crepe dessert, $6): Good flavor, but the texture and consistency wasn't what we expected. From the pictures, it looked like it was more of a sponge cake (which we were excited to see), but alas, it was a true crepe. The coconut filling was spot on.
- Teh Tarik (Indian style black tea with condensed milk, pulled with evaporated milk, $4 for hot, $5 for cold): Tasty tasty, but portion small. Make sure you sip it slowly! Not overly sweet and the froth was perfect.
Service good and quick, and the ladies are really hard working. Washroom facilities are bit cramped, but clean. The overall morale is upbeat and the manager who hand pulls the tea always had a smile on his face.
We ended up taking a bunch of leftovers home, and had the in-laws sample it. They gave a big thumbs up (super picky too!), so this place is totally worth coming back to! Next time, I'll probably pass on the fish cakes and coconut crepe, but that fried rice and roti? Totally gotta get it! :)
