My Malan place specialises in nasi lemak sets , mee siam , mee rebus and snacks like Bergadil and Gado gado .
I like how fresh the ingredients were - the veggies were well prepared and still maintained a good crunch .
Moist and soft rice cakes , plump beancurd cubes and the best of all -
That luxurious sauce that’s not too sweet and with a good underlying aromatic flavour.
The homemade peanut sauce was so addictive - I literally polished the whole bowl of it. I liked how the sauce was not too sweet ( like many other places)
Other than the flavourful peanut gravy , the surprise within the gado gado dish was the thinly sliced crisp fermented bean cakes ( tempeh ).
Together with Long beans , cabbage, eggs and rice cakes, this dish came together so well .
I enjoyed dining in this family run cafe because the service was so warm and helpful 😊.
Smothered under all that rich, thick and sufficiently spicy peanut sauce is a heap of “tau kwa”, blanched sweet cabbage, long beans, “tempeh” and small cubes of “ketupat” (compressed rice cake). I wish there was boiled potato as well but that’s just a personal preference.
Burppler @happygreedyfoodie had told me earlier about how tasty this is and having tried it today, I agree with her. Plus it’s really good value at $4.90 nett.
I loved this too! The sauce was not too sweet and it was spicy enough. If you have space for a side dish, it should be this. Yummy!

Unanimous agreement from us that this is the side to order for sharing if you’re here! Bed of crunchy long beans, lontong (rice cakes similar to ketupat), beansprouts, fried beancurd, etc. smothered with a thick peanut sauce that has a good balance of nuttiness, savouriness, sweetness and a little kick of spice.
Besides their noodle mains, they also have a pretty mean gado gado! Their sauce base is nutty and kept a nice consistency throughout and you'll wanna get a good amount in each mouth. The ingredients are generous too, but my favourite with gado gado is that slightly transparent sweet lettuce that just goes so well with the sauce. 👅💦
