in the last weekThe food taste delicious and service was great. We love the kerabu mango so much. For the cucur udang it was perfectly cooked with crispy exterior. Came with 2 types of sauces. One is kuah kacang and the other is cili sauce. Very good combination. It was so generous, very big portion in one plate. Every dish was perfectly preparred and beautifully decorated. The restaurant has a pleasant and confortable to dine in. I will be back to try other dish. Thank you for the good service.

2 months agoMust dine here when in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur)! Everything we ordered tasted amazing. The different varieties of rice was the cherry on top. Top off the meal with ABC for dessert and you get the best Malaysia has to offer. Will definitely dine here every time I visit.

3 weeks agoThe only decent thing about this place is the atmosphere.Here is a detailed review for the items we've ordered for 2:1. Cik Ani's Tauhu Istimewa (vegetarian) This is surprisingly the best thing among everything we've ordered. It comes with a really good peanut sauce which elevated the entire dish. Definetly the star.2. Ikan Tilapia Merah, Asam Pedas This was good. Fish is cooked to perfection. You can't go wrong with steamed fish asam pedas.3. Udang Steamed Aneka Rasa This was alright. Udang is split into half. Had a bit of sourness to it. Refreshing, but nothing to scream about at this price point.4. Lamb Shank Opor Hijau This is something which you either like it or hate it. It comes in a green paste and tastes like pudina. It overpowers the "creamy coconut milk" element.5. Sotong Kari De Wan 1958 This was horrible. The sotong tasted like rubber. The curry tasted like its cooked with babas curry powder and okra, and nothing more. Tasted like a fish curry I could tapau at the mamak for RM 3.Experience was not great. I made a reservation for 2, and the table we got was a split from a long table for 5 - to call a waiter, we're required to press a button placed on the table beside with 3 people. We had to request to change spots, as the tables beside us were so close to us, so its not really a private experience anymore.Overall the service was not the best for such price point. Overall, its pretty disappointing.
