2 weeks agoOne of the best local restaurant in Malaysia. The restaurant is so spacious, elegant. Rice is soft and delicous, my daughter liked nuts and dried fruits mixed in rice. Main dishes were a little bit spicy for me but they were delicous overall. Highly recommended.

3 weeks agoWe forgot to take photos… because we were too busy eating! So all we have is a photo after the math (aka: the damage was done and we were happily stuffed).The food? Delicious. The ambiance? Chic and comfy. The service? Top-notch! The staff were super attentive and really made us feel taken care of special shoutout to Mohib for being absolutely amazing!Also… I have to say, I love their unli rice refill! They asked us if we wanted more rice three times, we were already so full we didn’t know where to put it anymore. But it was just that good.Highly recommended! Come for the food, stay for the rice refills, and maybe remember to take your photos before you eat. 10/10 would eat again 💯 (and forget the photos again)

a month 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.

a month agoI was never expecting too much about the portions at Michelin restaurant. However, this restaurant is different. You will find how they cooked beautifully, in generous portions. The cucur udang, fish asam pedas & ikan tempoyak sauce, short ribs bakar madu, ayam buah keluak, sambal petai, daging dendeng, nasi bunga talang, & nasi pandan delima. Also variant beautiful drinks.All of them were amazing with classic authentic ‘peranakan’ interior ambience, love it !
