Penang Bak Kut Teh with rice: Quite an herby soup but I liked it. There was also enoki and some meat with it. It tastes quite good mixed with rice. Kari Kambing + Nasi (Rice with lamb brisket [New Zealand] in a dry curry): The rice came on the side, and it came with lamb and potatoes. I enjoyed the flavor of it and liked that I could pick the amount of sauce I wanted with my rice. Penang Mee Kari - Curry Mee (Singapore Laksa): There were rice noodles and plain noodles in a curry broth soup. Another Rice with meat dish (It was beef brisket I believe): It comes with half an egg, cucumbers, peanuts, and some small dried fish. I liked the mix of all the different ingredients. In general I thought the food was very good and quite flavorful. A place I would repeat! Tip: Don't come before an important meeting as you do end up smelling a bit like the food after.

We were tired of walking and randomly stumbled upon this restaurant that's sort of hidden in a…read morebuilding with little foot traffic. The decor is quite shabby and the walls are cluttered with reviews, magazine covers, and newspaper clippings with headlines ranging from "top voted Malaysian restaurant" to which celebrity has visited and endorsed its legitimacy. It was also a full house on a week night. So without further ado, we asked for a table for four. The wait was extremely short and we quickly realized why. Their efficiency is marked by the delivery of food which typically occurred within minutes of ordering. Coming from the Midwest, I would say these portions are relatively petite. It worked in our favor because we typically prefer to order a variety and would rather not have leftovers since we're tourists. We shared the satay platter, Singaporean curry noodles with shrimp and egg, char kway teow with shrimp, Hainan chicken, and tung choy. Everything was good but the noodles and chicken stood out the most. The Hainan chicken is deboned and goes perfectly well with the rice which is prepared with the chicken stock and fat that was generated from cooking the chicken. The Singaporean curry noodles are different from the ones I usually have. This one is wetter and the curry flavor is more subtle. If you can handle more heat, then the char kway teow is for you. It's wide noodles stir fried over high heat with a soy sauce and chili base. That was my favorite dish of the night. The next time I come back, I'd give that chai tau kway a try!

With…read morea dozen tables in the "main" restaurant, there are other dining rooms across the hall for when it gets busier. The Chai Tau Kway (radish cake) was AWESOME, full of smokey flavor. That dish along is worthy of another trip to TST alone. Ironically, we didn't think that the satay was particularly good (least favorite of our 3 dishes). I probably would try the Fried Kway Teow next time instead of ordering the Sambal Beehoon Goreng (noodles) again. And would definitely try the Chicken Rice, especially after seeing the recommendation on CNNGo travel site.... Next time

It was always told to me that Nam Ah (South Asia) was the standard when it came to…read moreIndo-Malay-Singaporean cuisine in Kowloon. It makes sense after all, Nam Ah has practically outlived most of the businesses on Ashley through 50+ years and might have the roomiest interior, along with the nicest decor of the bunch. But after a couple of recent visits, it occurred to me the flavors were decent at best, not enough to warrant an immediate return. That's not to say things at Nam Ah were bad per se, but it hasn't won over my group of dining companions and I for the times we've gone. The menu is understandably catered to the Hong Kong and western palate, which includes random dishes from Portuguese Chicken to Borscht. The staff was sadly not in tune with a lot of Southeast Asian choices (such as roti canai, mee goreng, etc.) because they actually don't exist on the menu. Thankfully, through a myriad of random choices, we were able to convince them to create something similar to it. The end result showed it wasn't their strong suit, so it's hard to fault them for that. So instead, we focused on things they were known for. Hainanese Chicken ($85 for a quarter, $138 for a half), Pork Satay ($70), Char Kwayteow Noodles ($75) and a bowl of their Seafood Laksa. The reactions all around were shoulder shrugs, but being that we were hungry enough we still ate most of everything for the benefit of the doubt. I've had better Hainan Chicken at smaller, less distinguished places, but at least the presentation was on point. I would like to think Nam Ah has had better days or perhaps the times have changed in a way where this cuisine has become more accessible than ever. While I'm not opposed to a return visit, I'm really hoping they'll revamp their selections to where not only all of SE Asia is represented in some way, but tastes like it too.

Today I tried their hainan chicken laksa as laksa seemed to dominated the menu . The BF opted for Malay fried flat noodle. Flavours were full on and authentic . My laksa soup was on the spicy side but it was so thick and legit ! The Hainan chicken was served on the side and I also got the three special sauce ( ginger, chilli and sweet soya) for the chicken ( as you will get if you ordered rice ) . Loved every bite of the dish though it looked slightly on the oily side . Would definitely come back on those days when I need a hearty meal .

However, the noodles they used is not real pho noodles... It's closer to rice noodles. The chicken rice usually sells out fast so go early if that's what you had in mind. The laksa and bakuteh are pretty good by HK standards. One of these days I am gonna try the beef briskets. Check and see if your company has a discount arrangement with them! They accept cash and Octopus, which is surely a plus!
