[LOCATION] - 4/5
Initially, my friends and I wanted to eat dinner at Restoran Malaysia until their hostess informed us there was a 45-minute wait for a table of four. We settled for Les Châteaux, and immediately got a table upon arrival (a clear indicator that shows the relative status of this restaurant).
[FOOD QUALITY] - 2/5
I gave this place the benefit of the doubt and tried dishes from their "Authentic Malaysian Menu," but flavours were not authentic.
[ORDER]
- Penang Char Kwei Teow (Fried Hor Fun with Mixed Seafood) - $10.99: did not reminisce any Malaysian flavours as the dish just tasted like Chinese Stir Fried Beef Noodles with shrimp instead of beef.
- Singapore Lakhsa - $10.99: broth was too watery.
- Malay Curry Beef Flank Rice - $12.99: lacked flavour.
- Ikan Billis Crisp Prawns with Coconut Spices - $14.99: had mountain of coconut spices sprinkled on top of a few crustaceans. Flavour was okay but spices and grease made it hard to remove the exoskeletons from prawns.
[OVERALL] - 2/5
My intention was to try dishes that bring out Malaysian strong flavours and aromas. Unfortunately, the food at Les Châteaux did not meet my expectations.
