I was there for an early dinner and there were not many other people there. I had some type of sweetened hot tea that was very tasty. I can't remember what It was called. For dinner I settled on what I think was the Kampung Mee Goreng and I chose seafood. It was a fried noodle dish. I could smell it when they started cooking it and my mouth began to water. It smelled good. The food did not disappoint. It was a little salty for me but there were very good flavors in this dish. I have become a fan of Malaysian food.

Makes it easier that it's BYO, so bring along your favourite & relax. We'll definitely be coming back here & supporting a great local business!

See? Swung past for one of their lunch specials, got the $9.90 vegetarian curry (with a hit of sambal on the side, natch). Welcome to flavourville, population: your homeboy me. The curry is made on lentils with big steaming hunks of potato and eggplant, there's tomato and carrot in there, and coriander and chilli. I'd actually eat it just as a soup but I love rice so much I'll never look a gift rice in the face if someone is throwing it at me. I'd just catch it in a bowl and now it's my rice. These guys better get used to seeing me at lunchtimes on my phone.

The kids had satay chicken and spring rolls followed by deep fried battered squid. I can't help but compare them to the Salt & Pepper Squid served in the Qantas First Class Lounge in Sydney. They taste just the same! The Fried Koay Teow was a little pale but pretty good. The specialty of the house, crispy skin pork in special sauce was good but a little too oily. I could not eat too many pieces. The curry chicken with Roti was ordinary. Sambal Kankong was passable. There was no iced Kopi, so I settled for iced milk tea. This was extremely sweet but tasted okay when you add a bit more water.

Don't be shy as you may end up sharing a table with others. When we arrived we were at the start of a rush as the line developed behind us with an already full restaurant. Luckily we managed a spot sharing with a family of 5. We ordered their Char Kuay Teow and Ais Batu Kacang. And the family ordered Hainan Chicken Rice and Fish Head Curry. Smells really good. There was an interesting mix of customers from Thai, to Malaysian, to Indonesian. Mixed in with the a couple of locals. It took a while for our food to be served. So it left me thinking that he forgot our order... Finally it came! The Char Kuay Teow was pretty good - KL style. Slightly spicy but oddly with chicken, no Chinese sausage or clams. Regardless, it was tasty. It took a while for the drinks to come out as well. As the kitchen is pretty small. So be patient!

Sorry to be writing a one star review but it needs to be said…read more I ordered two of their 'Best Sellers' which was the Hainan Chicken Rice and the Har Mee. With the Hainan Chicken Rice, I was expecting really tender juicy chicken and the rice to be both packed with flavour. With the Har Mee, I was expecting like a spicy aromatic prawn base with the noodles etc (since in the menu it stated that it was a spicy dish). Perhaps my preconceived idea of the dishes were too high? But this was due to the fact that I was trying their top dishes! Anyhow, the looks of dish quickly deceived me and I was extremely disappointed when I actually tasted the food to say the least. The chicken was dry, little to no flavour. The rice, bland, no flavour. It was basically white rice with the ever so slightest hint of chicken juices. The prawn base, despite its vibrant colours was definitely lacking depth in flavour (basically water spiked with food colouring) and NO spice at all. Not spicy at all. zero. zilch. All in all, sorry but will not be back for more.

The line was out the door, but moved fairly quickly. While waiting in line, we witnessed freshly hand stretched roti from their open kitchen. When we were seated, we paid with cash to get a 5% discount off our bill and placed our order at the front counter. If paying by card, ordering is done on your phone by scanning the QR code. The restaurant gives off Singapore Hawker vibes, but the Mixed Satay and the Mee Goreng are skippable. Pass on these items: 1. Mixed Satay - The beef satay was not fully cut and was difficult to bite off the skewer. The chicken satay was easier to eat, but lacked the satay element. The peanut dipping sauce was delicious and chunky. 2. Mee Goreng - hard pass - The noodles were somewhat cold despite taking the longest to bring to our table. The entire dish didn't seem fresh and lacked flavor. Definite must: 1. Roti Tisu - 11/5 - This was unique, flaky, crispy, sweet, and fun to eat. I highly recommend getting it with ice cream and eaten for dessert. In between the layers of roti is sprinkled sugar. Ending our dinner with Roti Tisu makes up for the Mee Goreng. 2. Roti Canai - 5/5 - Fluffy and crispy roti dipped in curry and beans. Ultimate comfort food.
