The mix came piled with fritters, cucumber, jicama and pineapple, all coated in a thick, rich prawn paste sauce. Bean sprouts added freshness, tau pok soaked up the dressing and the freshly toasted youtiao stayed crisp under it all. A generous crushed peanut topping gave every bite crunch and fragrance, tying the flavours together with tangy, sweet and savoury notes. Portions were hearty and affordable, though the queue stretched close to 20 minutes and that wait makes me reconsider if I’ll return as often 》$4.50

Highly recommended, must visit!!!

We started with the British Fish & Chips, which is huge and features a light, crispy batter wrapping tender, flavorful haddock fish alongside fresh-cut fries.

The Smoked Squid & Citrus is equally generous, offering tender squid lifted by juicy pomelo pieces that add a bright, contrasting punch. For pasta, the Spaghetti al Granchio shines with its rich umami depth, packed with plenty of sweet crab meat that balances the savory and tangy flavors beautifully.

We rounded out the meal with the Cinni-Churros, where warm, crispy churros against cold vanilla ice cream made for the perfect final bite.

Will definitely be back!

Seng House was SUCH A TREAT!! The chili crab pasta (Spaghitti al Granchio) was a flavour bomb - UMAMI, acidic, and a spicy kick, in the best way possible!! If I crave a chili crab pasta, I will definitely want it to be cooked this way, it is really that good! To me, this feels like a homage to our Singapore Chili crab dish.

On the other hand, the beautifully charred squid (Smoked, Squid & Citrus) had hints of thai cuisine with the shallots in the pomelo, which is a unique subtle twist. The dish is served with fire-roasted corn (i'm not a fan of corn, so i asked to swap for more peppers!)

Cinni-Churros ended our night in the most cozy way. The light churros were served with cinnamon sprinkles, vanilla ice cream and peanut butter - melting in my mouth in a combination of salty sweet, hot and cold balance. It was pure bliss!

Founded in the early 1980s by Madam Zulbaidah Binte Marlian (youngest daughter of Haji Marlian Bin Athar "Bagindo Marlian" and Hajjah Rosemah Binte Mailu) and her husband Mohamad Zin Bin Harun, this heritage brand is probably the most successful in the Nasi Padang family business, with quality being managed consistently through a central kitchen, offering about 70 dishes daily.
.
Today, their children Mohamad Ariff Bin Mohamed Zin, Nur Syahidah Binte Mohamed Zin, and Mohamad Hazmi Bin Mohamad Zin, are taking their family business forward. Their core dishes are widely celebrated, and the buzzing communal dining ambience lends well for large groups and families.

Highly recommend this zichar place for night owls and late shift employees, this restaurant closes at 2am, so it’s a good supper spot. Personal favourite is the sambal gui miao and salted egg pork ribs, the sambal has a nice kick but not overly spicy and the pork ribs was so tender!

($7) Mee Kia I tried it their signature noodle b4 so its quite nice tbh as its quite ex (giving at mall location)

bought a breakfast set meal so i did tried their toast w my friend previously and also like not bad. Butter v thick texture and traditional kaya.

I did tried their iced tea w grass jelly but I never thought getting their white coffee. So it taste quite nutty and less sweet (opt out)

Established in August 1997 by Madam Mahiran Binte Abdul Rahman and named after her mother, this family-owned casual dining restaurant has placed on the 2023 Michelin Bib Gourmand list, and offers about 50 varieties of dishes daily from a master list of about 100 dishes.
.
Their dishes are characterised by warm full-bodied flavours, built from slow-cooked bases and richly seasoned gravies, with an emphasis on traditional kampung-style preparation that highlights depth rather than heat. Their generous use of spices and aromatic complexity evoke memories of rustic homely cooking.
