Came here for dinner at around 7pm. The BBQ Chicken/ pork rice with braised egg is quite alright, but the chicken is a bit dry. My friend had the laksa and he had quite a small portion, which is probably not worth the cost.

The service does need a bit of improvement. I do understand that with a crowded restaurant, it's hard for waiters to guide people around. But we were lost when we get there because there are no signs telling us whether we should wait to be seated first or whether we should queue up to make an order. And the restaurant is very small, so expect to be squished with other strangers at the same table.

Came here for a late dinner around 10pm on a Monday night. They offered dine in and takeaway. We opted for eat in.

I ordered the BBQ Pork and BBQ Chicken rice with braised egg. I must say it was pretty decent serving size for the price I paid for it ($9.50). There was also a soup that came with the rice and meat. It was alright, what you would expect. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. The chicken was a bit dry and the pork a bit chewy but still good enough to eat. The rice I think is where the braised egg went into, because the rice was really good. I can't say for certain if it was cooked with egg, but it definitely wasn't your run of the mill white rice. It was really nice. I probably ate more of the rice than I did the meat.

I would definitely return here and I might consider trying their other dishes. But I definitely say I like their rice.

Approximate cost: $10

I came to this restaurant with a friend of mine and my brother.. we wanted to try authentic Malaysian food and found it! Very busy when we came.. have to wait about 10 mins for a table, but the staff were very friendly and polite..Once we get our table, we start to ordered - chicken rice, ban mee (Noodle) and the laksa. for the drink we had Teh Tarik..The food was in good portion and very delicious. Must try!

Decent foods, good for after shopping at the victoria market on a saturday afternoon. Service is efficient and friendly. Price is reasonable for the amount of food you get.

We were welcomed heartily, and as we were the first customer of the day were given a discount. I'm a big fan of Nasi Lemak and they certainly didn't disappoint. The place really felt like Malaysia. The staff were friendly and helpful even with their broken english. I have been back a few times now and have not been let down on quality or quantity.

Approximate cost: $9

Very authentic Malaysian ambience and delicious local food. Portions are also served in local Malaysian portions. Ordered the cendol drink and it was rich in coconut milk.

Food is average. Good service though. The staff willingly change a new set of nasi lemak for us as our chicken was not cooked properly. They have nice herbal drink. space is quite spacious

Approximate cost: $8.00
