Great flavors and a wide selection of options from this place. As Indonesian/Malaysian/Singaporean cuisine goes, this is a solid choice. The restaurant itself has pretty spacious seating and the staff is quite attentive. Their satay and roti were really solid appetizers. Their Singapore Laksa, Rendang, and Borneo Seafood noodles were ordered by our party and they loved it. The Rendang was a little too much on the spicy side. I had the Kalimantan with flat noodles and loved it. Absolutely worth a visit or two!
As a born and semi-bred Malaysian, Borneo Eatery is a solid pick for those looking to try or revisit borneo-cuisine. Came in early on a Friday and was greeted with friendly service. Ordering was quick and we were checked in on a handful of times. The staff were attentive and smiley. I got the Nasi Lemak as that was a personal favourite of mine growing up. It didn't exactly hit the spot but it definitely surprised me in a good way. The chopped up chicken allowed for a crispier exterior but also meant less juicy meat. Cabbage as a side was new to me, but was fresh and creamy. Solid sambal, though I'd personally like it a touch hotter. Overall a different take that works and makes it a wonderful, easy to eat rice dish. Chicken satay was great! Nutty sauce with a crispy garnish. It's missing the smoky flavour but the meat was cooked very well. A casual, family-friendly, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that lives up to it's name.
Plenty of well lit seating inside, Very attentive staff, I was greeted immediately entering the restaurant. I asked for takeout and was handed a menu. Right when I set down the menu someone came up to take my order. The flavor isn't strong, almost bland. The best way for me to explain it is if you took yesterday's leftovers and threw it all together. Hokkien mie- Taste like chicken broth with a instant ramen packet Topped with tea egg, yesterdays chassiu, and some butter chicken. Overall the service is good, response time good, cleanliness good.
The food was delicious! It was my first time going here, so we tried a little of everything. My favorite was definitely the chicken satay, it was so flavorful and came with 5 skewers, which I thought was pretty good for the price. My other favorite was the hokkien mie, the noodles were a nice texture and I really liked the chicken in them The borneo style fried rice and nasi campur plate were also yummy! Loved the char siu The roti was good, but I do not think the portion was good considering the price ($9.50 for 2) The service was ok, we did sit there for awhile before someone came over & we could ask for the check. Also, parking is kind of hard, you either can do street or there is a lot near the restaurant we parked at. Overall, it was yummy and I would go again!
It was my first time here and I was amazed by the food and friendly staff! Ordered: 1) Roti Prata: loved the texture of the roti and the curry-like sauce on the side 2) Singapore Laksa: felt so comforting! Never had Laksa before so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I loved how much ingredients they pack into a single bowl! All of this with noodles in a sweet and savory curry broth :) 3) Chicken satay Rice Combo: IMO, this was the highlight of the meal! The chicken was super juicy and the satay sauce was so delicious and you have to pair this with some coconut rice! Amazing combo! Would definitely come back just for this!
I hadn't been to Borneo since they expanded the restaurant. Today my Indonesian friend came down from the Bay Area, and we wanted Indonesian food, so we came here. We parked at a nearby city lot, and there was no wait on a Friday night. The expanded space feels much more spacious, and the colorful doors on the wall make the interior feel lively. Since it's Friday during Lent, we were looking for vegetarian options. The staff told us we could substitute tofu for any protein, which was great. We ordered roti, chicken satay, kwe tiau siram, Indo-style fried rice, and cendol. Everything was delicious, and we were happy with all the dishes. Solid spot for Indonesian, Malaysian, or Singaporean food in the Alhambra are
We walked in around 7:30PM on a Wednesday night. Not a lot of people. We got greeted immediately and then seated. Food came out quick after we ordered. It was very delicious. I also placed a togo order for the next morning. Togo order for 13 people and they were able to accommodate me! I paid the night before and they called the next morning, 30 mins before their opening time, to confirm that I am picking up the food. It was great experience! Just one tad opinion that laksa noodles for togo portion was small.....
My very first time trying Indonesian/Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine, and I am a huge fan! This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall place, which confirmed to me that the dishes were authentic. The interior is so cute and colorful that it made the dining experience all the more fun and appetizing. We ordered a Large Roti Prata (2 grilled flour based pancake/bread) that is served with their Indonesian curry sauce. The soft/chewy Roti Prata dipped in the curry sauce was phenomenal! I absolutely loved everything about this appetizer. For the main, we ordered Lemak, which is a coconut grant rice plate served with friend chicken, fried tofu, curry egg, and spicy peanut anchovy. Interestingly, the star of this dish was the peanut anchovy and curry egg. We also ordered the famous Singapore Laksa that comes with a choice of egg noodles, vermicelli, or flat rice noodles. This noodle soup is a creamy coconut milk-based curry with shrimp, fish cake, fried tofu, marinated egg, sweet corn, and bean sprouts. I would definitely order this again! It seems like a lot of people get the Chicken Satay so I definitely want to come back to try that and get some of the other menus that I've tried previously again.
Let's start with parking. You'll want to park behind the building in the parking structure. During primetime it can get a little hectic, but our tip is to just head straight to the top floor if it's around 7 PM. That usually saves you time circling around. The restaurant itself is small but cozy. It's not one of those places with flashy décor or a "wow" factor, but it definitely gives off a more intimate Malaysian vibe, which we enjoyed. This was our second visit, and compared to the first time there were fewer people. We arrived around 7 PM and were seated immediately, which was great. Here's what we ordered: Gado Gado - $13 Rating: 7.9/10 A mix of lettuce, bean sprouts, cabbage, cucumber, egg, and tofu dressed in their homemade peanut sauce. It's a great option for vegetarians. The peanut sauce was rich, creamy, and flavorful. Definitely a tasty appetizer and worth trying. Roti Prata (Small) - $4.99 (Large with two pieces - $9.50) Rating: 6/10 To be honest, it felt a bit pricey for one small piece. I also remember it being thicker and fluffier the first time we had it. This time it was more thin and flaky. The curry dip was still nice, but it tasted a little watered down compared to our last visit. Nasi Rendang - $16 Rating: 7.8/10 This dish reminded me of the Indonesian banana leaf dish Nasi Bungkus. It comes with beef rendang, fried tofu, curry egg, and spicy peanut anchovy over steamed rice covered in curry sauce. I liked that the rice had sauce on top, the egg had great texture, and the beef was soft and flavorful. Singapore Laksa - $17 Rating: 7.5/10 You can choose between egg noodles, vermicelli, or flat rice noodles. We went with the egg noodles, which honestly tasted a lot like ramen noodles. The shrimp-based curry laksa broth was smooth and flavorful though, and the shrimp, fish cake, fried tofu, and marinated egg gave the dish nice variety and texture. Overall, the ambience was welcoming and the servers were friendly. There was one older server who I remember from our last visit as well -- she is honestly the sweetest, even though I forgot to get her name this time. If you're looking to explore different Asian flavors and try Malaysian-style dishes, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Happy Eats!
Always passed by here and see there is usually a lot of people dining here. So I was curious to try it! We ordered the Laksa with egg noodle, Borneo Rice, Satay Plate with curry rice, and a small size Roti. The Laksa noodle came out first, which the portion was a lot smaller than expected. The flavor was pretty nice, but the broth was not as thick as I imagined. Then the Satay Plate came next, which I actually enjoyed the most! The chicken on the satay was soft and flavorful, very easy to eat off the skewer. The curry rice with it was quite interesting, which I liked how the curry flavor was kind of subtle to it. The fried onions were a nice touch. Then came the borneo rice, which looked really dark from soy sauce maybe? It was pretty decent, although kinda salty. My bf enjoyed it though cause that's his type of fried rice haha. We ended up getting a roti last, which they brought it to us fresh. This was so soft and hot, it tore apart quite perfectly. It's not too airy, but just quite soft and the right amount of chewiness to it. Overall, it was nice to finally try this place! Service was a bit slow, but they were all very friendly.
Came back here, and the food was delicious. It wasn't too crowded on Thursday around 6:30PM (only a few tables were occupied), so we were able to walk in and place our order fairly quickly. This time, I tried these items: Singapore Laksa - I actually loved this. Like curry noodles, good flavor, not too strong, totally enjoyable. (4.5/5) Hakka Mie - It was good. Simple and classic. Nothing too crazy, but tasty. (4/5) Cendol - A tasty dessert drink. Not too sweet, though the drink wasn't topped off. Still good. (4/5) Overall, Borneo always hits, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Always comforting. Parking - Super easy, as they have a multi-story lot out back.
I was CRAVING laksa, and I was very happy to see they had it here. The broth was rich and creamy, while staying balanced! It was quite busy on a Monday at 12:30 PM, but were able to snag a seat before the rush. My favorite dish was actually the Chicken Satay Plate. INCREDIBLY tender and flavorful! The marinade was perfectly done and addicting! I would come back and order this again for sure. I'll be thinking about this plate for a while... PRO TIP: add extra peanuts for some extra texture! read more

Food: - indo mie: 8.5/10, very flavorful, even tastier with the sauce - milk tea: 8/10, not super sweet! Service: - super fast service and friendly staff - seated super quickly around lunch time Ambiance: - small and packed restaurant read more
This is the only Indonesian restaurant I've been to, and I'm a huge fan. I always order the Singapore Laksa because I love its rich, coconut milk-based broth with just a hint of spice. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and the service is consistently excellent. Everything my friends have ordered has been solid, too. My only regret is not trying this place sooner. read more
Awarded Michelin guide 2019 for a reason! Authentic flavors and affordable. Service was very warm and inviting. I almost walked past it without knowing. This place is a great example of "Don't just a book by its cover." Interior is cute. I ordered the Roti prata and Singaporean Laksa. Both were amazing!! Ugh still dreaming about it. I guess the only critique was that I ordered egg noodles but it looks like ramen noodles instead? I was expecting the yellow egg flat noodles. They offer 3 different kinds of noodles for this laksa. Dishes here are all reasonably priced. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

What a yummy eatery. Restaurant was clean, service was quick and the food was delicious. The roti was grilled to perfection and the Indonesian curry dipping sauce was a perfect complement. The Singapore laksa was also super yummy and flavorful. Price was decent and I will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more
As someone of Singaporean/Malaysian heritage, I'm always looking for any restaurant that serves food from the motherland. Borneo Eatery looked promising so I came to try it with the fam. Nice and clean interior and helpful staff. We tried the Borneo flat rice noodles, Singaporean laksa, and Nasi lemak. The Borneo noodles had a good amount of different ingredients but lacked enough wok hei flavor. The Nasi lemak was ok because the pieces of chicken were a little too dry. The laksa was probably my favorite of the three thanks to the rich coconut curry flavor and nicely textured noodles. Overall, I had an enjoyable meal and could see myself coming back to try other dishes. read more
Love this place!! It never fails to satisfy our hunger. Not only do they always serve delicious food, but their service is always excellent. We ordered our usuals, which is the Roti Prata, Singapore Laksa, & Hokkien Mie. The curry flavor dipping sauce for the roti is the best and always hit the spot. The singapore laksa and hokkien mie are also packed with umami flavors and so tasty. All the decors inside this small shop are also very cute. read more
Had to give this place a try since my boyfriend loves this type of food! We saw that everything in the menu is super affordable. There is parking structure in the back. The place is small but fits a handful of tables. We got seated right away during lunch and ordered the chicken satay, rendeng rice plate and large roti (comes with 2) we also ask for all the sauces on the side. Food came out pretty quick and love how it pairs with steam veggies since their food is heavily seasoned so it's well balanced! The chicken satay has a swee charred flavor and the peanut sauce was really good and nutty. The beef was really tasty. My boyfriend says the curry sauce was bland but over all everything was flavorful especially the side peanuts those were my favorite! I wasn't a fan of the roti it was too soft for me I prefer with more a chewier texture. But overall not a bad place to try something new for me and it was well priced! read more

Very friendly staff. Our server was from Bali and we enjoyed talking to him because we have been there three times. He explained how their menu worked which helped us decide on what to order. We have had countless good meals in Bali but never had their dish similar to Pho. First, we had their Roti Prata (bread) a flour based pancake grilled until perfection and served with an Indonesian curry sauce, oh so so good. Perfectly grilled was so right with so many delicate flavors in the sauce. My wife had the Hokkien Mie with thin homemade egg noodles lightly seasoned and topped with sweet soy chicken, char siu, marinated egg and vegetables. I had Hakka Mie with medium homemade egg noodles lightly seasoned and topped with char siu, fish cake, fish ball, marinated egg and vegetables. The food bowl is served with the broth on the side and you add the amount of broth you prefered. They will also bring more broth if needed. Both dishes were filling and full of flavors and different textures. We had a very delightful lunch. read more
I've come here once before and absolutely loved it so I wanted to come back to see if this place still hold up to my memories and they definitely smashed my expectations! I want to try more of the menu next time! The vibes and aesthetics here are great. There's a good amount of seating and the space is very clean. I got the Singapore Laksa with egg noodles and waow! So delicious!! It's packed full of spices and coconut. I couldn't stop eating this. read more

Came here since we missed Uncle Fung and although it doesn't hit the same, it's still good. The portions are large and the service is excellent despite there being a crowd. I would say the laksa is not as creamy and potent in curry flavor and is a little watered down but it still gets the job done. Ingredients are fresh and yummy! Location is in DT Alhambra so you'll need to park near Sprouts and walk over read more
Borneo Eatery is located within the lively downtown Alhambra district, which includes many eateries and shops. While the front door is pretty unassuming directly on Garfield, there is a free parking structure behind the restaurant that serves the area. My friend and I met at Borneo for lunch and were seated pretty quickly. There is ample seating in the restaurant, though during the Saturday lunch hour most tables were occupied. IMO, this restaurant doesn't lend itself to large groups, but can easily handle a family of 4-6 (max) per table. Staff was attentive enough, though in the beginning it felt we were being rushed to order as we both reviewed the menu. Staff was friendly overall. Borneo only serves water and a few a few assorted teas as beverage choices. There are no alcoholic beverages or common soft drinks available. We began our meal with the Roti Prata, which was WONDERFUL! They arrived warm, crisp, and flaky. The roti is served with a dipping sauce. Though it felt a bit pricey to me ($9.50 for 2), I would give these a 5/5! Definitely a MUST if you eat here. For my entree, I had the Singapore Laksa with egg noodles. While reminiscent of Japanese ramen in composition, the flavors were unique and delicious. There's a sweetness along with the spice that created a great balance for the bowl. By the end, I was absolutely stuffed. Great value for the price here ($14.50)- 5/5 My friend had the Chicken Satay Entree with Curry Rice. All was seasoned well, though chicken was slightly dry. This would be a good, "safe" meal for a non-adventurous diner. Good value for the price on this ($13.99)- 4.2/5 Two clean restrooms Great meal- would definitely return and recommend to others! 4.5/5 Overall! read more

I was recommended this place by an Indonesian coworker of mine & by my siblings. My family and I came here on Christmas Day for dinner around 6pm. There was plenty of seating but my the time it got to 6:30 many more parties came in. Service is kind of slow. You have to wait for someone to come by and then flag them immediately or else you won't seen them for another 5-10 mins. Other than service being slow, food did come out quick. We ordered the roti prata - it was thicker than I like for a roti but still flaky and delicious. The chicken satay was very flavorful. The chicken in the Nasi Campur was the most memorable part of our meal, wish there was more of it on the dish. The bbq pork/chasiu wasn't too good. There was a lot of fat on the pork. Overall I had a decent experience and food was good. I would definitely come back to try their other dishes. read more

The roti with curry and laksa were both delicious and flavorful, with a coconut milk base. The laksa had a well-marinated tea egg, tofu, fish cakes, and shrimp (only 2). The nasi padang was spicy and I enjoyed the beef and potatoes. Service is a bit slow but the food is amazing! read more

Very friendly and fast service. Lots of available seating and overall a quiet restaurant. Roti Prata - the roti was crispy and had a nice crunch but it was very soft on the inside and had a nice subtle flavor. The curry was slightly sweet and rich. Definitely recommend ! Indo style noodles - very reminiscent of Char Kway teo but instead of seafood this came with fried chicken. Best dish that I tried. Chicken satay with coconut rice - The coconut rice did taste like a savory coco but it was pretty dry. The chicken itself was cooked nicely but the sauce it had was so strong and left a strong aftertaste I didn't like. I'd pass on this dish. Lots of other dishes on the menu I'd love to try , just don't have the belly space :) read more
Hands down our fav Singaporean Malaysian restaurant! Must order: roti prata; chicken satay soooooo good juicy and the sauce is delicious; broth for laksa is 1000 out of 10, but it can be a bit too heavy for some people; Kalimantan noodle soup is very homey; and their fried rice is amazing, the rice bits are chewy and flavorful, yum!! Parking is free and in the back. Service is good and pretty quick if it's not the weekend cuz they can get pretty busy. They don't take Amex though. read more

I wanted to like Borneo but it was just ok for me. Service was a bit lacking. Maybe they're just timid. QR code menu on the table links you to their website. They have printed menus available. Roti prata - Small size comes with one piece. Large size comes with two pieces. The curry sauce was delicious. Singaporean laksa - tad spicy kick. Soup tasted like coconut milk. Egg noodles were al dente, which I enjoyed. Too many bean sprouts for my preference. From the wok Borneo with flat rice noodles - this was good. Nothing stood out about it. Bathroom available in the back. Credit card / Apple Pay accepted. Parking is behind the restaurant. read more
YAYYY another delicious visit at Borneo! This time I went with the Satay Plate, which included chicken satay and my choice of curry rice. The chicken satay was phenomenal and rich in flavor. I loved the dried onions on top of the rice and chicken, it added another layer of flavor and texture to the dish. The chicken was tender; both the rice and chicken were cooked well and soaked up the sauces beautifully. Service was amazing and friendly as usual; I am always greeted by a kind smile here. I also noticed that our dishes came out around the same time during this visit so I appreciate that! read more
Came here with a party of five and got seated right away. Ordered Singapore Laska and Hakka Mie. The Singapore Laska was flavorful, but I don't think I was used to the flavor so overall, it was just okay for me. The portion size was large and the amount of ingredients they provided was generous though. As for Hakka Mie, the noodles were cooked to perfection and though it's a dry dish, it was very flavorful and delicious. This dish also provided a generous amount of ingredients and honestly, I prefer Hakka Mie over Singapore Laska. Overall, I would like to be back and try all their other dishes. It's quite unique and different. Though the Laska had a flavor I wasn't used to, it was worth a try. I just personally prefer Hakka Mie over the Laska. read more

Borneo Eatery is my #1 favorite spot to get Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean cuisine! Their menu is the perfect size with having all the top South East Asian staples so whatever you order here IS always good. They do all their dishes so well and I'm surprised they aren't on the Michelin guide since 2019 (they are THAT GOOD imo). The prices are so affordable for the enormous amounts of food each dish comes with. Nasi Rendang (5/5): Borneo has the BEST Rendang here. No wonder it's a house favorite. This dish comes with beef rendang, fried tofu, curry egg, spicy peanut anchovy served over curry with a side of fluffy white rice. The beef rendang is slowly cooked in coconut milk and spices so it's packed with flavor. I would describe this dish as the meat falls off the "non-existent bone" lol! Get this dish as a must as well. Large Roti Prata (5/5): They make the best rotis here that are buttery and flaky! It comes with their Indonesian curry sauce that has a little kick to it but is filled with rich, goodness. I love how dense the rotis are while also being so flaky. Singapore Laksa (5/5): This is their shrimp based curry laksa broth noodle dish that comes with loads of shrimp, fish cake, fried tofu, marinated egg, sweet corn, and bean sprouts. I love their coconut curry broth that is fragrant, rich, and aromatic! They let you choose choice of egg noodles, vermicelli, or flat rice noodles. We chose the egg noodles and it did not disappoint as it soaked up all the tasty broth so well! Hokkien Mie (4/5): This is a dry noodle Hawker dish made with their homemade egg noodles that is seasoned with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesesame oil, and mirin. This dish was topped with their sweet soy chicken, char siu, veggies, and their marinated egg! The sauce covered the egg noodles so well! You have the option to pick your choice of thin, medium, or thick noodles. I want to come back to try their other dishes! read more
*Review was based on a food app delivery.* With my recent experience, I ordered (1) Singapore Laska with egg noodle and (1) Nasi Campur. For the Nasi Campur, I felt char siu was the best part. Everything else tasted a bit dry, bland, and did not taste well together. As for the Singapore Laska, it had a creamy curry taste and it was slightly spicy. I really loved the corn, egg, and tofu in the dish. read more
Came here on a Saturday around 3:30 pm. There's a large parking structure behind the building that has free parking for 4 hours. There's also some free 2 hr street parking spots. We were greeted and seated immediately. The employees were quick, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal. The inside was bright with colorful and whimsical decorations. There are a good number of tables for a small business. We decided to get the cendol beverage, small roti prata, pempek with selam, lemak, and the Singapore Laksa with egg noodles. The food was ready super quickly. The roti was out within minutes, following by the laksa and lemak. The cendol and pempek shortly after. The roti was delicious. A simple appetizer that is one of my favorites. The curry dipping sauce was a little runnier than I am used to, but I ended up drinking it as I took bites of the roti! The fried chicken and fried triangular tofu (one of my favorite ingredients ever) of the lemak were my favorites of the whole meal. Super flavorful and savory. Went well with the coconut rice, fresh veg, peanuts, and fried fish. The laksa was good. It had a lot of broth but it was more runny and not as creamy as I'm used to. The flavors were there but could have been stronger. It came with a whole marinated egg cut in half, 2 pieces of triangular fried tofu, 2 small shrimps, and 2 slices of fish cake. There were a few bean sprouts and a good about of noodles. Overall yummy! While it wasn't the best Singaporean/Malaysian I've ever had, it certainly was satisfying enough. The prices here are lower than other places and the quantities are pretty big, making me believe that it's worth it come for sure! read more
this place is a little pricey, but I liked their noodles. My father felt like their roti was okay. We liked the roti at another restaurant a bit better. The curry sauce was delicious. I like the taste and the dishes offered slight variations.But it seemed like it's just a rice or noodles with different options of the meat choice with it. The staff were friendly and helpful. They are very quick too. When we went for Sunday lunch it wasn't crowded. Only 2-3 tables filled at a time. The restaurant is pretty casual and has a slight theme to it. Overall a good experience and the food was good. read more

It's been about ten years since my last visit. I'm rarely in this part of town but always wanted to return. Since my last visit, they've expanded the restaurant and even added coffee shop next door. I'm so happy to see that this little gem survived the COVID era and doing really well. I had laksa, one of my favorite dishes. I also got a noodle dish to go for my teenager at home. Since he's allergic to peanuts , I asked them for recommendations. It was delicious and my son loved it. (Borneo with flat noodles) Parking is always a pain in this part of town. I visited on a Sunday, past 1pm. Hard to get to but there's a structure parking with free parking up to 4 hours right behind. But there's structure was almost full. Just bring a lot of patience when driving around this area especially on weekends. read more
This restaurant is illuminating for those that haven't tried IndoSingaporlaysian food! The cuisines from all 3 regions morph into a trifecta delivering pure pleasures to the taste buds. The restaurant is tucked near a corner with limited parking in the back, but very close to a free large parking structure. From the street view, the restaurant doesn't look that big but there's actually a good amount of space inside for smaller and larger parties. The service here was very good, we were sat with no hassle and had been checked on frequently. Our server even helped us make our selection with some dishes we were unsure on. My favorite parts of the meal were the sweet creamy cendol, umami heavy nasi lemak soup, and the chunky pempek! The portions here are quite generous considering the prices of the menu, excellent value for your bucks. We love delicious bites on a budget. This restaurant holds a very memorable spot in my taste history and I can't wait to return! It was an amazing find and one I'd easily recommend to a friend! read more
Cute restaurant with colorful doors as decorations. Roomy and comfortable. For parking, there's a parking structure in the rear of the building. Great service - workers are friendly and take the time to explain dishes and recommendations. Very impressed with the flavors and portion sizes. Pricing is more than fair. We enjoyed everything we ordered - see pics. The Teh Tarik drink was very refreshing and tasty - the grass jelly was soft and flavorful. The Singapore Laksa was a large bowl and tasted very good. It had a good mix of ingredients. The Roti Prata was nicely fried and had a good crisp. Everything had good flavor. I don't usually have Indonesian food and it was a nice change of pace. The flavors are different from the usual Asian places (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Viennese,m) so it was a it was a nice change. I'll be visiting again. read more

Friendly and attentive staff. We ordered 3, Chicken satay which has 5 skewers per order and it's nicely coated with crispy caramelized onions and peanuts and really tasty savory sauce. Singapore laksa was a little spicy but good combination of curry taste just a little coconut milk? Kwe Tiaw Siram is my favorite tonight. Translucent gravy on flat noodles. read more

My friend and I visited this restaurant for the 1st time last Wednesday May 21. We wanted to take a break from our usual East Asian spots and try a new Asian cuisine. This place was in one of my friend's bookmarks, so we decided to go here for dinner. My friend and I ordered the following: Gado Gado - I suggested this to my friend because I used to live with an older Indonesian/Dutch couple and they made this dish often. I would rate this a 7.5/10 Rendang - My friend and I have never tried this before. I thought this was tasty. My spice tolerance is pretty high, so I think I would consider its spice level as mild. I enjoyed this a lot because how flavorful it is, and it made me full quickly. I would order this again when I come back to this place to try other flood in the menu. I would rate it an 9/10 Hokkien Mie - This was also another food we have never tried before. My friend chose thick noodles for this, and it was pretty chewy. I thought it went well with the sweet soy chicken. I would rate it an 8.5/10 I liked the ambiance of this place. It looked cute and felt homey. Service was good and fast, which we were very thankful for. Would definitely go back again when I crave Indonesian/Singaporean/Malaysian food. read more
