Looking for Local Delight places?

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.

Recently I have done at Seng House - Hainanese Western Cafe. The environment was good.
Ordered double smash burger, Fried Buttermilk Mid-Wings, Linguine Bolognese & dessert is Fried Ice cream with banana cake.
Presentation of every single dishes is good & tastes awesome.
I would be back and highly recommend this place for my friends to dine in.

I am happy to have dinning at Seng House. The atmosphere good ,quiet and really a nice place. The staffs were friendly, polite and attentive.

Double Bacon Samash Burger.
Taste of wagu, soft and tasty with bacon was good.

Linguine Bolognese
The texture of paste was right and minced pork with tomato sauce was very flavourful.

Fried Battermilk Mid-Wings
It crispy and fragrant, the taste just right, inside the meat is tender and flavourful butter.

Fried ice cream & Banana cake
The banana cake with walnut taste good and with crispy fried coconut ice cream was well matched.

Overall, the food was delicious and it really satisfying to eat. I highly recommend this place. I am glad and looking forward to come back again.

Food was amazing here, especially loved the cereal prawn. Prawns were very fresh and the cereal was crispy and flavourful.

The Lala paired extremely well with the free-flow porridge as well. Great combination! Great place to visit for lunch, dinner and even supper!

Yam rice is fine, but doesn't work with the turtle which is on the milder side

Turtle was excellent, well deboned and perfectly cooked to tenderness, with different parts obviously cooked separately to perfection

Soup is thick and rich.

They are the standard for turtle soup anywhere in the world
