Salade gado gado avec tempeh
Jessica S.

C'était pas incroyable mais quand même bon. J'avais trop faim et on a bien mangé. J'étais reconnaissante de la diversité d'options végétariennes et surtout la cuisson du tofu dans notre sandwich satay et le tempeh dans notre salade gado gado. Ma seule note c que je trouvais qu'il y avait trop de la sauce satay partout (je sais qu'on avait pris deux plats avec cela mais quand même un peu trop) et qu'elle n'était pas très complexe et un peu trop sucré pour mes goûts.

The Kway Tew

It's so good that it makes us sad we don't live around the corner so we can get our fixes as often as we like. The Kway Teow is sooo sooo good. Closest we've had to back in Singapore. We've had this dish all over, and this is the best we've had. The noodles are amazing, perfect texture and flavor. Love that it comes with the correct sides of cut chili and chili sauce. Would definitely recommend.

My favourite food stand at the Atwater market. The offering here is limited to the best-sellers, and it's just as good as the main restaurant. Our favourites: pork buns and papaya salad. The perfect portion to share and still have enough space to try other things at the market.

Skewers, sandwich and pork belly bao

I was eyeing Satay bros prior to coming up to MTL. My friends and I definitely agreed the food here was definitely a highly of our trip. We came to Atwater market on a busy early Saturday AM. We ordered the papaya salad, Satay skewers, Satay sandwich, pork bao, regular laksa soup, and lemonade with Bourbon. Between the 6 of us we literally ate everything off the plate or bowl. The soup was my favorite. Rich bold flavors with a creamy coconut broth. The skewers and sandwich of the day are must orders as well. Price wise food here is reasonable and we left stuffed with what we ordered. Located right in the market they do have seating right next to their station. Highly recommend Satay bros if you want a nice variety of Singaporean food.

Satay Brothers is one of the eateries that you can try while visiting Atwater Market. I only ordered the "laksa" and it's chili coconut soup with bean sprouts, tofu, shrimp, sliced fish cakes, and noodles. There's also an option to add chicken for a few dollars more. I wished there more noodles in the dish. I can't tell if the favors are authentic since this was my first time having laksa, but I did enjoy my meal tho. Overall, the food prices here seemed reasonable. Please note that it's a CASH ONLY place.

As usual, Satay Brothers is always a great spot for some noodz and things. Came here w my mom this passed weekend for some Chai Tau Kueh, Laksa (duh!) & Satay skewers. There's always something new popping up on their menu and I had to try the Chai Tau Kueh, a Singaporean breakfast staple that was being sold to me so hard by the cashier (Hey, he did a great job! Lol!) It's essentially cubes of carrot cake, fried w eggs & daikon & things and eaten w sambal. (The concept is similar to Vietnamese "bột chiên" where they fry cubes of steamed rice flour cake in eggs and spring onions) The laksa & skewers were good as usual. The vibe was lively and fun as always. I'm glad life is starting again everywhere, especially the food stalls :)

Tofu steamed buns and pork papaya salad
Shahanaz B.

I was at Atwater market for fresh fruits and vegetables shopping. While walking in between in the stunning plants and flowers, the hunger strikes! Decided to visit Satay Brothers kiosk. The service was amiable. I ordered two tofu steamed buns and pork papaya salad for my sister and a coke can. Unfortunately, the taste was the food wasn't up to mark. Tofu steamed buns were missing the kick flavor, and the sauce was way too salty. The papaya salad was super watery, and you can imagine it was not easy to eat with chopsticks. But the both dishes' presentations were beautiful and colorful. At least, the food helped with my hunger.

Laksa
Xue L.

Got the laksa and it was pretty good. The broth wad very creamy and flavorful. It had shrimp, fish cakes, fried tofu and some herbs. The noodles were too soft and were falling apart but the combination with the chop suey made it better.

Oso L.

So damn delicious. The Hokkien Mee was outstanding. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the shrimp and pork cracklings were a perfect compliment.

Gotta give it to them their food is crazy flavourful. I first tried satay brothers at the other location and wasn't a fan. I decided once in for all that the steam buns needed to be purchased so I got in a little roped line where there was 5 ppl ahead of me. I got 2 buns 2 sandwich and a papaya green salad. Sandwich of the day was a meat sandwich tasted almost like hamburger and a well seasoned kefta. The other sandwich was okay but lacking meat. I 100 percent will be back

Matt A.

A delicious menu that can be the top of many lists but the sandwich is worth the extra effort. A beautiful mix of seasonings dances on the tongue as you savour each bite of this abundant beast. Very well cooked meat and perfectly crispy bread is enjoyable rain or shine. ( Thanks to the tents at Atwater market we were able to enjoy it in the former)

Can you believe I've never stepped foot into Atwater Market? Well, nestled away in one of the stalls is a super popular Indonesian/Malaysian/Singaporean spot, Satay Brothers. They've become so popular that they have an actual restaurant in St. Henri (about a 5 minute walk away) that's open for dinner when the market shuts down. Hours coincide with the market although they're closed Monday and Tuesday. First time I came, they were closed but that just meant I could take pictures in peace. Drink menu - interesting that you can order pitchers. Perfect for summer drinking. Even though they have a paper menu, the board menu reflects actual prices. The stall is very laid back and the guys working there are very cool. We sat at the two counter seats on the side and got to chat with some of the workers, which was pretty entertaining. Even when they were shutting things down to move to the restaurant, they didn't rush us. Heck, they gave us some chicken satay skewers on the house. - Calamansi lemonade ($3.50) - Green papaya salad ($8.00) - Laksa lemak ($11.50) - Chicken satay skewers I can't really think of any other places in town that specialize in south-east Asian cuisine so you'll have to make due with Satay Brothers to get your fix. Not a bad way to end my trip!

A few months ago we were at the Atwater Market. We found this place on Yelp and decided to come here based on the reviews. The first time we came here we had a great experience. The food was delicious and service was extremely friendly!! We loved the spot but were in a hurry so couldn't really relax and enjoy our meal. But we decided we would come again soon! A few weeks ago I was flying out for a vacation. My husband and I decided to visit this spot again since we had been meaning to come here since our last visit. We went here all the way from Mont Royal right before my flight. This was our first meal of the day, we were both hungry so we ordered a few things for the table. We sat here for an hour, finished our meal and left and within five minutes of leaving the place I compulsively started vomiting. Vomited for thirty minutes and then couldn't even stand without support. I immediately got a fever and started to sweat, so we took an Uber to the hospital only to find out I had gotten severe food poisoning. Since my husband had eaten the same food and was unaffected, the only explanation we could come up with was that either it was their house hot sauce. I love hot sauces and spicy food so had asked them for their hot sauce. Or their chicken satay skewer with peanut sauce since he had skipped that as well. Regardless of a good past experience here, I would not recommend a place to anyone that made me this sick because of their food.

I used to really enjoy going there but the last couple of times I went there the food was quite ordinary. It's like it lost its flavour.

Kim Jen Ming - Gapping container lid from being transported for 20 minutes.

Kim Jen Ming

3.9(7 reviews)

Initially, I wasn't impressed by Kim Jen Ming when they opened. They are menu is fusion between…read moreSingaporean, Malaysian and Indian as they state. I have been to those countries, so I didn't find their food mimicked the way it should. Recently, they expanded their menu. They even have breakfast menu. I got some bao buns with tempeh; super delicious. On the side, I took the papaya salad; it is certainly zingy. The service is super friendly, but it is kind of slow to receive the food for a fast food type a place, but at the same time they are preparing our food on the spot with every right amount spices... so perfection takes extra minutes, therefore the patience is a must.

I've gone out of my way to this counter next to the MUHC Royal Victoria atrium for years, as…read morethey're a very worthy member of the Satay Bros resto family (this counter is literally named after their mom). The recipes are unique and delicious, the portions are generous, the staff is always polite and personable, and preparation is usually quick. Thank goodness it set up shop there to break the monotony of typical hospital foodcourt fare. But today they get only a 3 star review. I've supported asian-owned and/or asian-themed businesses since the pandemic, going out of my way to support great places. It's my pleasure to do so, and since I was at metro Vendome I took a detour to Kim Jen Ming. Doubled up my masking at the entrance to get in; today the mask disposal station was an alarmingly unhygienic gauntlet to walk by. Usually I eat on the spot, but that mask station was alarming so this time ordered the pork curry to go. It's tender and delicious, comes with rice, and is such a generous serving that it could serve two people. I held the bag level as I walked back into the metro system, but while seated in the car discovered the curry had leaked all over my jeans as I held it on my lap. Luckily I had a cloth bag with me in which I then put it, otherwise the container would have fallen through the wet paper bag. This resto has been in business many years, has survived 3 years of pandemic, and is part of an established multiple restaurant family, and they don't know how to package meals to go? Obviously the food was too heavy for the super basic aluminum tray and cardboard top, or it wasn't closed properly. It's ridiculous that they sell food to go with this inferior packaging. It's not like I was swinging the bag. That's why you only get 3 stars, Kim Jen Ming, and this review that's trying to warn people against your takeout options. Would have been 2 stars except for the aforementioned merits. You need to fix this.
