Nonya Laksa

What I love about this place is reminds you of «grandma type home cook»
It just bring the memories back to your childhood, and those a good sign of good food.
1 choice of dish with steam rice, noodle or fried rice is for $ 9, and 2 choices is for $ 10.
I’m telling you, it was worth every cent…,
The first bite of my beef rendang, I knew right away I fall in love with this dish. Not only rendang is my favorite dish, the beef that been serve has falling apart and lemon grass, chili and coconut fragrance oh… So yummy. This is my new favorite place for beef rendang dish.
My lemon grass fried chicken was so hood too. I notice I hardly see this dish in Malaysian restaurant, I don’t think not so common, but lucky for me I chose this dish today.
Bam! Just like winning a strike lotto…
All the dish that accompanied my fried rice is just beautiful, can be default in any angle.
What can I said, happy tummy leave show in happy face.
Definitely I will come back more often to this place.
That’s for sure.

I visited this place about 4 times, since I only work across the road, they present a different option to Menya Ramen and I could duck down, grab a quick meal and be back upstairs in 15 minutes if I’m in a hurry.
I think they do have some decent dishes but some could definitely be better.
Hainan chicken rice: the rice wasn’t «chickeny» enough — should really be cooked in chicken soup and chicken fat, with a good dose of lemongrass. The rice here was a bit bland. The sauces weren’t the right ones (dark, thickened soy sauce, minced chilli with garlic and vinegar sauce and ginger/​shallot). The soy sauce was missing. At least the portion of chicken was decent. The chicken soup was clearly made of chicken powder, but that’s one part I’m always willing to forgive.
Rendang beef (served as a 2-​choice with rice) — everything was fine, I could possibly consider it at a level above what it is — in a scoops-​with-​rice-​foodcourt level. I wouldn’t mind having this again, if only I could handle heat better than I do.
Sambal eggplant — the flavours are all there, it was pretty tasty. A touch oily, but you can’t really cook eggplant commercially without putting in a lot of oil, otherwise there’d be that funny tang on the tongue.
Soya pork belly — nothing spectacular, I was probably expecting something with a stronger soy sauce flavour given I’m paying money for it. Tasted a little more like home cooking but in a not-​so-​good way.
Laksa — I expected a little more from the soup, more coconut cream. And perhaps a little more of volume for the price.
I did have one other dishes from the 2-​choices on another visit, but can’t quite remember it. What really did get to me was the rice though. A bit grainy and a little undercooked — wasn’t really expecting that. One way to really tell is if they give you sauce with the 2 choices (say soya pork belly) and the rice doesn’t absorb the sauce — that’s where I draw the line. Poor rice really ruins the experience, even if it’s fast food.
Personally, if I had a choice (i.e. work schedule allowing), I wouldn’t go here, unless if the price in general was down by about 10−15%.
