"I've visited in the past and loved their food so popped in for lunch when we were in the area recently. Same vibes, casual dining and staff were very efficient. Pretty sure the roti was frozen paratha but I can understand why they used that. Really liked the sweet and sour (with a hint of spice) sauce on the crispy wontons. Char sui sauce was a little too sweet for our taste. Other than that it was overall a nice lunch and will definitely keep coming here when I crave malay food."

"Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful food. The nasi goreng was amazing, and the fried fish in the fish soup was the best fish I’ve had in a LONG time. Absolutely delicious. I didn’t really like the noodles in the fish soup, but the fish and soup itself were so good that I’d still order it again."

"Food is delicious and portions are generous. The place is casual and unpretentious. Food arrives rather quickly and is delivered with no fuss. It's open until late, which is a huge plus in a city where most kitchens close at 9pm."

"We absolutely love this place. It's small and casual. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is delicious. The roti is excellent, served with spicy curry sauce for dipping. Our other favourites are the nasi goreng and the char kway teow. Great value for money."
