This is a small Singaporean restaurant located in a far corner inside a busy Chinese plaza in Mississauga. It's not super popular, but many Singaporean locals and foodies know their way to this homey place. Other than Singaporean dishes, it also serves Indonesian/Malaysian/Thai food.
Kris U. one day asked me what I thought of this restaurant. Seriously I haven't been for a long time and I almost forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me to revisit. LOL.
Anyhow, here's what I ordered on my recent revisit:
Laksa Lemak - $7.95
- I've asked for mild version as I had a bit of throat discomfort. Mistake - while it still had a little kick on the spiciness, I did find it a bit bland as I was hoping for more pronounced flavor in the soup.
Oh Luak (Oyster Omelette) - $12.95
- It was the highlight dish of the night! There were tons of oysters with a really gooey sticky texture. Very tasty. Really loved it!!!
Hainanese Chicken Rice - $7.95
- The chicken, again, as quite bland. Chicken oil rice was alright. I was hoping for a fattier chicken so I could taste the aroma.
Satay (beef and pork) - $7.50
- beef and pork were both quite tender. Peanut sauce was a bit different from what I have tried in other places. Nonetheless it was pretty tasty.
The food on the whole was a bit bland (definitely they used very minimal MSG, which was a good thing). I was hoping for more flavors. May be it's an off night?
Service was warm and friendly. Price was very reasonable. It's a small neighborhood restaurant, so there's not much fancy decor to write about. If you live in this area, I would definitely suggest to come and try. :)
