Located at Woodland Waterfront Par, can see JB while dine here.
The food was decent, not too pricey and it’s Halal
You have the option of choosing either the wet or the dry version. We got the wet version. The gravy was too thin in our opinion and there was none of the intense buttery flavour that we hoped for. For $15, we felt that this is quite overpriced.
We wished we hadn't ordered this as it was so overwhelmingly sweet to the point that we couldn't finish it. For $3.50, we were expecting a normal food court standard cendol with fake durian and we would have been happy with it. But the level of sweetness is really too much for even our sweet tooths to bear.
For $3.50, the big cup of Milo dinosaur was really value-for-money! On top of the usual iced milo with milo powder, the restaurant added a lot of milo bowls on top to add an extra crunch to your drink! Feel free to dunk them into the milk drink if you prefer to enjoy them soggy. :) That being said, the Milo dinosaur is a little on the sweeter end and those of you who are more averse to sweetness may want to request for less sugar when ordering.
Standard tze char veggie dish done very well by Rasa Istimewah! Picture shows the small serving, which costs only $8. Our only comment was that the leaves were really big for baby kailan 😅 but it didn matter because the vegetables were so fragrant and the gravy they were soaked in was pretty flavourful as well.
For $6, this was a really generous serving of sambal fried rice at a waterfront restaurant! The mainstay of this dish was fried rice with sambal chilli, although the dish wasn't as spicy as we would have thought when we saw "sambal". There are quite a few pieces of chicken inside although you are free to choose other types of meat as well, including beef and seafood (although the prices increase accordingly).
We had to praise the service at Rasa Istimewah because all the food we ordered were served within 5 minutes despite us dining at 6 pm on a weekend. That being said, the restaurant is really popular and do be prepared to queue if you are heading down on a Friday or weekend night!
A far far away place where you could dine on the water and the closer to JB you can go for now.
Located on Woodlands Waterfront, you could enjoy the sea breeze before arriving at the restaurant; which offer you a wide view of the causeway.
The tomyam fried rice was tasty, with lots of flavour ingredients to make the taste. There’s wasn’t much seafood but as least the fried rice was good.
first time here and it was packed on a weekend afternoon (as expected). food was relatively slow as dishes came one at a time 😩 sambal stingray was pretty good though with the right amount of spice! also tried the sambal lala clams and they were decent. overall a good place for simple family meals with a nice view and ‘dine in a park’ vibes that won’t break a bank!
Rasa Istimewa Curry Fish Head - The milky and thick curry carried a fiery kick, but the richness of the santan kept it from being overwhelmingly spicy.

was quite surprise that there was a long reservation list for it. Fried rice with sambal and chilli ($5++), sheng Mian with sliced fish ($6++), ice kachang with mango ($5.50++), ice blended lychee ($2.50++). The waitress took the wrong order and a normal fried rice can instead. But luckily they changed and refried it for us (as evident by the specks of white rice). The sheng mian wasn't the thin kind which will become soft after soaking which I was expecting after last eating it at makansutra bay (I missed the duck shengmian from there so much!!). Also, the fish had a fishy taste. The icekachang was tooooo sweet for me when I'm trying to go sugarless. And the ice blended lychee didn't come blended like a smoothie. The only good thing about this place is the waterfront view :) #burpplesg #burpple #halalsg

Food tasted pretty well! Fast, quick and quality Zi Char food served! Love their Kangkong surprisingly! Everything here complemented each other well even the surroundings!:) Look at the hongkong steam fish! Really tasted amazing!
