The chicken was so succulent, literally falling off the bone. The sauce, generously ladled onto the rice, was spiced beautifully. With a fried egg, and some salad on the side, it’s a complete meal.

This is a pretty simple dish, consisting of rice noodles in a fragrant yet subtle broth, topped with shredded chicken, a prawn, fish balls and some iceberg lettuce. I don’t recall the exact price, but it’s definitely below RM15.

Delectable. It’s a step above the usual red ruby with coconut milk. The Red Rubies are crunchy, and the jackfruit fresh. Opt to have your ice cream arrive just before you finish your meal, to give it a chance to melt - otherwise you’ll be chipping away at the half-frozen ice cream.

Okay, I have to admit. I didn’t know this salad was going to be so huge when I ordered it. The portion is more suited to a group of four than just two people, and would make a great appetiser. At RM25, the portion is well worth the price. The dish is completed by the dipping sauce it comes with, which is a sweet chilli sauce laden with toasted crushed peanuts, minced pork, dried prawns, red onions and chillis. I’d definitely have this again.

The salad consists of fern shoots, prawns and squid, tossed in a VERY generous amount of creamy coconut sauce. It comes with a hard boiled egg and is topped with crispy fried onions. At RM20, it’s a little pricy, but the portion size is definitely worth it. The sauce is much heavier than the one used at Frame Thai, so it’s more of a main dish than a side salad.

Creamy, spicy, and fragrant tom yum is what you’ll get here. For its price (RM22 for 2 pax), the curry is generously laden with chunks of chicken and mushrooms. I would actually be content to just order this with a bowl of rice - it’s that good.
