There is something inherently loveable about this place. It's a family run business, gracious service from one of the sons who runs the front on the weekend, its small, busy and there is just something so comforting as a bowl or plate of piping hot noodles made to order.
Some things to note- it's not open Mon-Wed. The first time I showed up on a Wednesday after reading about it in the Globe and Mail I almost cried in the parking lot because I had psyched myself up for a plate of Char Kway Teow on my lunch break. So that following weekend I drove from downtown to satisfy my craving.
The other thing to keep in mind is that it's not really a restaurant- ie. there is not a lot of seating. There are 4 or 5 seats along a window and a few small tables with stools. Oh- be prepared to wait for your food, they do a lot of take out service on the weekend.
What else did I love- the price, so affordable!
AND, if you go on the weekend there are a number of specialty items that are not available during the weekend.
Is the best Malaysian food out there? It doesn't matter, there's just so much to love about this little hole-in-the wall spot. Can't wait to go back ....
