2 months agoWhile dining at this Michelin Guide-listed restaurant, my expectations were high, given its esteemed accolade. The food, while good, did not quite meet the anticipated Michelin standards. The offerings were definitely above average, yet they lacked the ‘wow’ factor often associated with such prestigious recognition.I did enjoy specific dishes, notably the fish curry, which was flavorful and well-prepared, and the chap chye, a delightful mix of textures and tastes that was a standout on the menu. These dishes were well-executed and would cater to anyone looking for good quality, hearty meals.Overall, the restaurant serves commendable food and provides a pleasant dining experience, but it may not satisfy those seeking the extraordinary culinary adventures typically expected from a Michelin-rated venue.

4 weeks agoStaff are nice and satisfied with the food. Food came out faster than McD. but would be nice if they have a menu with photos and little bit cheaper. Because I can't eat spicy and came alone so not much choice.

2 weeks agoOrdered the kambing and chap Chye. I would say the food is pretty decent but a complain I have is that the dishes is catered to a group dining in, and none for an individual diner like me. Amazing ambiance and the service was excellent. 146 rm for 2 dishes, 1 drink and rice. 8.5/10

2 weeks agoThe satay and pucuk pak were very tasty, so I went to the restaurant twice. The first time, I went with just adults. The second time, I went with my friend’s family, including children. Some dishes were a bit too spicy for the kids, so it felt like the adults and children couldn’t enjoy the food in the same way. If I go again, I think I’ll go with just adults.

2 months agoHad a great time dining here.Service was overall alright.Food was enjoyable and the dishes had well balanced, tamed flavors compared to the usual Malaysian and Indonesian food, which was fine with us. But some dishes were a bit over complicated in my opinion. Coconut custard dessert hindered coconut flavor due to its egg yolk and brulee. I expected it to showcase more coconut.I would come again if I am looking to treat people or eat with people who aren’t used to Malaysian food.
