Your classic mango sticky rice — Sweet mango, served with warm savoury sticky rice. Topped with crunchy, fried mung beans in a pool of thick and savoury coconut cream. I was mildly surprised to see a larger ratio of mango to rice. (7/10)

Simple dish of soft pork neck. The slices were quite lean, but still tender and juicy. I could do with more char, and fattier pork. All said, this dish is still satisfying. (7/10)

A savoury staple with juicy pineapples, seafood, raisins, cashews and a generous serving of pork floss. Different ingredients gives layers of sweetness, and textures. We definitely ordered too many seafood laden dishes for this meal. (8/10)

Service was able to adjust the spiciness levels and make things less spicy for me! No need to fear third-degree chilli burns here. 😜

To my friend’s dismay, Tom Yum Soup should probably not be made non-spicy. They complained the lack of spiciness affected the balance. BUT, I really enjoyed salty-sour tang of the savoury soup. Here we have even more seafood, the flavourful lemon grass and ginger slices for balance.

Amazing service. The team took the initiative to ask if we wanted to top-up an extra prawn to fit our group size of 3pax.

These are thicccc. Golden brown, prawn cakes that are crunchy on the outside and juicy inside, that you can just eat them without any sauce. (8/10)

A creamy seafood mousse, served in a fresh coconut shell. On service, the fragrant combination of spices, and coconut milk was simply mouthwatering. It was delightful to dig into the pot of treasure and enjoying the otah mixed with all the yummy seafood (sotong, prawns and fish). Pity the portion was a bit small as the coconut isn’t as big as I would have liked. I am definitely getting my own otah instead of sharing in the future. A signature dish that shouldn’t be missed. FYI, do order white rice to mop up the rest of the sauce! (9/10)

Light fluffy cake with pulut hitam (black glutinous rice) filling and topped with a layer of coconut cream. The coconut milk really goes together with the pulut hitam. Salty sweet and savoury 🙂. Sadly, the roasted pulut hitam on the cake was hard and dry.. It would have been nice if it was crunchy.

This is their most famous cake full of gula melaka sweetness. Slightly too sweet for me, an interesting layered sponge cake with a slightly gelatinous outer coating of gula melaka syrup.

Cake is really rich, and buttery however it also felt slightly dry and sandy(?). Although, I did like the modern take to this recipe with the glazed roasted apples.

Tofu rest on a bed of various vegetables such as carrots, sweet peas and black fungus and topped with some minced meat. I loved the sizzling eggs on the hot plate and the moment this dish is served - you can defintely smell the super shiok aroma!

Thick fluffy omelette that goes really well with the sweet potato porridge because of the chye poh (salty preserved raddish).
