Not amazing Malaysian restaurant on Chamberlane road. The place is very small and clearly ugly, really… but it’s very cheap, around 6£ for a main, some dishes are surprisingly good, some are just not tasty which is opposite of Malaysian food definition. Service is very fast which let you really think everything is just out of the freezer & the staff is not bad but not friendly… There’s a lot of place much better around on Chamberlane road.

I wish I had better things to say however this was the most disappointing meal I’ve had in a very long time. I was looking forward to visiting this place as I lived in South East Asia for a long time. Sadly I feel very ashamed for this restaurant. I cannot understand how they can claim to serve Malaysian and Chinese food. They should know better! There is nothing authentic about their food at all(apart from the name of the dishes), and neither are the dishes even remotely tasty. Several other Malaysian restaurant do so much better for the same price(eg try somewhere in Paddington). The service could improve and the staff could be more attentive. I believe they are skimping on authentic ingredients and serving bland food, rich in coconut milk. Shame on them for giving south east asian food a bad name. It doesn’t take much to make things a little more tasty, especially when your customers are paying for the food(and service). Needless to say I would not recommend this place. I really tried to think of something positive to say but in the end I gave it one star for its cleanliness and cosiness. P. s on one occassion my friend ordered Fried Rice and they said they had run out of rice(!)

I’ve got take away from this place many times and eaten in the restaurant once. Try the pork and prawn won-ton soup to start and the char-kway-teow for main, it’s truly delicious, the hokkien noodles are also pretty good. Also the spring rolls are really good and taste freshly made. This place is(I think) Malaysian/Chinese food but it isn’t your average Chinese takeaway by any means. The service in the restaurant is very friendly and they allow corkage at great rates too.
