I've been here a bunch of times, they're serving up some legit grub. If you're wondering what to try, go for the roti canai, the bean curd in casserole, and Hainanese Chicken.
Like some of the other posts have stated, this place is CASH ONLY. Waitresses were kind. Food was really good (spare ribs were my personal favorite). Atmosphere was chill when we first arrived but got super busy real quick because it was dinner hours. The only complaint of the service is the lack of napkins and lack of ice/lemon for the water.
If I wanted comfort food, this is the place to be. My usual is a Malaysian Sweet and Sour Pork lunch special that comes with jasmine rice and a chicken soup with some vegetables. I also order roti canai when I’m feeling extra hungry. The taste is close to home, the Philippines. For me, they’re the only ones that can do the sweet and sour dish some justice. My husband ordered chicken curry after asking a guy from the other table what he ordered.
The people are kind, however the place is noisy — if that’s your deal breaker. They only accept CASH only. Toilets are decent. When you can, dine by the window. For me, it’s the best spot in the house.
The team that runs the place has a knack of remembering people. And they always remember my order, my usual. If Benny is there, order the Milo! We love this place!

Came to this lovely restaurant upon a friend’s suggestion— and I am so thankful that I did. The atmosphere was so cozy. It quickly became really crowded as soon as they opened; thankfully we were able to get a table. Food came out reasonably quickly and they were delicious! No need to shout for conversations. But it is cash only, with atm on site!
My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant for 7 years now, and we've never been disappointed. The food is always delicious, the customer service is phenomenal, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are great.
We've tried a variety of dishes on the menu, and everything we've had has been top-notch. Our favorites include the ginger duck, sesame chicken and the entries. The portions are generous, and the flavors are always spot-on.
The service is always excellent. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and they're always happy to make recommendations.

This place is a hidden gem. Warning though that the place only takes cash. I mostly come here with my friends since the dishes are so shareable. The original Roti is the king of all roti. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with the side of curry for dipping (perfect combo) the curry has a kick so precaution for people that can’t take spice. The imitation duck skin is so good and savory that I forgot it wasn’t really duck skin. All the dishes was superb and huge, such great value.

Good varieties of foods served incl rice/noodle/meat/sea foods with caveats that there are hit-and-miss.
This was my team’s go-to lunch delievery place in the past from one of my previous employer so kinda nostalgic spot for me. It was only delivery then so I made some visits many years after I changed my job. And now I have very ambivalent feeling about this place.
One of Lo Mein like dish was below mediocre cause the noodle’s texture was as if it was left in water for too long time. And whatever random pork dish I tried came out with medium temperature, and such temperature is really not a good fit with fatty meats like pork, so it was very unpleasant.
I generally liked their soup noodle dish though. Laksa was very unique taste experience with sweet/fishy/sour/spicy taste all combined and well balanced in one dish while clear noodle had great texture. Prawn Mee is spicy soup noodle with seafoods in it so I enjoyed it pretty good too. Do note that both dishes have quite distinct fishy smell so you wanna avoid it if you can’t deal with it.
I love Roti Canai cause it has both of great crispy and chewy texture across its parts and it’s so deliciously well with curry sauce.
Unfortunately I’m really not sure if I’d be actively planning to revisit this place in the future. Might revisit if I’m passing by and hungry.
Prawn Mee가 한국인 입장에선 짬뽕의 하위호환 버전이라서 먹어볼만은 하지만 그렇다고 굳이 또 꼭 막 먹어봐야만 하는 메뉴이다 라고 할만한 정도는 아닙니다. 전체적으로 음식들의 수준이 좀 들쭉날쭉인 편이라 레스토랑 자체에 대해서도 큰 추천은 못하겠습니다. 개인적인 추억땜시 별 네개 밑으로는 못 박겠습니다만..

This was a new cuisine. We had their Beef Rendang with coconut rice. It was fork tender and just a slight spice. It was amazing.
