  • This place doesn't fuck around. The lack of fuckery here is rare. Just a hole in the wall joint run by the same family offering made to order Malaysian takeout from an unremarkable Scarborough strip mall. There are some small tables and stools, but that's it. It's a small menu (been here about 3 times, still working my way through the menu - have yet to try the weekend only dishes) and everything I've had has been excellent. The laksa (which is incredibly easy to fuck up) is one of the best I've ever had and the char kway teow is damned near perfect -- not too dry and excellent hit of heat. For some of the dishes, they offered a free upgrade to half egg noodle and half rice noodle, which gives you a nice texture contrast. Being as good as they are and staffed by the same family, it gets busy. It's a steady stream of takeout phone orders and Chinese aunties and uncles floating around. Oh - in case the clientèle didn't give it away, it's really cheap too with most dishes around $6 - $7. At this price point, you are usually dealing with pre-made 'Chinese' food served in metal troughs warmed by heat lamps. With all this, you would expect service to be curt, bordering on rude. But the cashier is a true gentleman. Offering suggestions and helping those unfamiliar with Malay cuisine. That said, don't come here expecting them to be able to bend over backwards for you. While huddling over and enjoying my eat-in meals here - I heard "No - sorry - we can't make that dish mild - it comes spicy or extra spicy. Please try something else." I dig that level of purism -- basically, "No, we will not dumb down the dish, you plebian.". However, they were able to accommodate the lady's vegetarian restriction with some off-menu modifications. Firm, but fair. Even when we ignore the value here, the food is some of the best Malay I've had. And the service and decor is everything you need and nothing you don't. Is it any wonder that I try to find any excuse to pop by the area so I can grab something from One2 (*ahem* three into the four)?
