Not all Google reviews can be trusted, this place got a 4.4 rating with near 1,000 reviews but after trying their mee siam and duck egg char kway teow, and a couple of drinks, this place probably is a 3.5-4.0 rating instead. Service was efficient though prices are on the higher side, but for me taste was the letdown. Whilst it is a no pork no lard restaurant, which probably compromised the taste somewhat, the duck egg char kway teow was lacking the smoky wok hei and savouriness. The mee siam on the other hand tastes like it came out from a microwave as the vermicelli lacks the spiciness and tanginess.
The Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken is quintessential Malaysian favorite that is basic with different toppings yet all rounded delicious. Highlight would be the coconut rice that was fragrant and fluffy and the fried chicken pieces were boneless, crispy yet juicy and well-marinated. The dollop of sambal on the side was aromatic though on a slightly sweeter side.
The Curry Chee Cheong Fun that is uncommonly found and good for sharing. The chee cheong fun was thin and smooth while the curry gravy was thick, fragrant with mild spiciness. It came with TaoKi (dried beancurd) for a texture contrast.
The Laksa here is slightly different from those in Singapore, but quite nice. The boiled eggs are fresh and done perfectly. Quite a crowded place.

Served in traditional small with thick circumference cup, this tea is good. The tea leaves reminds me of the Hong Kong style, not so astringent, was hot and have the right sweetness.
