Food's pretty good, and the crackers with chilli appetizer that they served were inhaled darn quickly. Although their gula melaka tea was a bit of a let down as the gula melaka syrup wasn't enough. But other than that, the laksa, otah, chicken, pork were all great. The durian dessert was decent but not something I'd recommend, other than that and the tea, the rest of the food was flavourful and I couldn't stop eating. I like that the atmosphere and interior decor really gives the nonya vibes, and the staff were polite and friendly. They have larger round tables that can accomodate 8, maybe 10 pax, so it's great for groups of people, small and large. Really, get that pork thing, it's delicious!
View on GoogleAuthentic Nonya restaurant serving very delicious foods. We loved the curry fish head, mixed vegetables and fried checken wings. But was a bit let down by the lemon grass drink that was quite tasteless. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good for a quiet evening with love ones.
View on GoogleI’ve visited both location this one and the Cecil Street branch for weekday lunch, and both experiences were good. I ordered the Straits Pan-Fried Laksa this time which was tasty and full of flavour. The Cendol and white coffee were enjoyable too. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant . I’ll definitely come back to try more items on the menu.
View on GoogleFood Is rather average, nothing giving special impression. Location is good, atmosphere is there. When we were there a few big groups so a bit noisy. They have closed up the area for group dinning to minimised the disruptions. Got to call for service repeatedly as they seem shorthanded.
