My friend and I came here one evening for a dinner instead of working out. I did not regret it though because this place was yummy. This is not the first time I have been here of course, but it has been a while since because I was trying out a lot of new places. However coming back here feels like coming home.
I ordered mee goreng along with the salt and pepper squid. I forgot what my friend ordered as her main but she also got the malaysian tofu salad - which I devoured without hesitation. It was hot and cold dish at the same time, a little sweet, tangy and salty, with pillowy and crunchy from the peanuts. MY TOTAL FAVOURITE
The mee goreng was a massive portion. I could not finish it all to myself yet I already have a very big appetite. I think the portion would suit at least 2 person setting where they can share food along with other items. This was not a let down at all because for the price I paid, the food was delicious and it was a generous serving that I ended up packing some food for my lunch the next day- WIN!
Everything was nicely seasoned that I couldn't stop eating it until I couldn't breathe anymore, you know what I am sayin' lol. We had alcohol (my pick was a cider) with that which was great because I love alcohol with high carb food, a cheat is always great with another cheat HAHAHA.
Now on to the disappointment - the salt and pepper squid. It was chewy, actually too chewy that it was hard. It felt like my jaws were having a workout, and it was completely forgotten. I never even took it home.
In the past occasions I have been here, I believe I may have ordered the Teh and Milo Ais, Chrysanthemum Tea, and Root Beer - both are yummy but I think my favourite drink with Malaysian food is now cider. Omg I would so transform Malaysian food into bar food. Is that feasible? I don't know.
In terms of food, since it has been a while, I couldn't fully recall exactly what it tasted like. I had their nasi goreng, vegetarian mee goreng, satay chicken and spring rolls. However, none of those occasions left a bad taste to my mouth that I would never go back again. Same with this experience, if I was invited to go and eat there again, I so would. I might try out their sambal beans next time though - remind me. hahaha
If you appreciate the flavour from 'wok', this is the dish you need to try. First time in New Zealand, I tasted 'breath of the wok' in the stir-fried noodle. Just a little pricy.
Have come here a couple times now and the experience has been consistently great. The side dishes are all great. Presentation is nice and I like the boxes that they come in. The stirfried noodle dishes are all great and come in really big portions. Definitely recommend for sharing too.
