“ An all-around really pleasant meal to wrap up my visit to Kuala Lumpur. The wait staff were friendly, polite, and extremely helpful, telling us (the unacquainted diners in the realm of Nyonya cuisine) where the good food was. We ordered four small dishes for two people, and every single dish nailed the spot. The fried Philippine eggplant recommended by our server was cut and fried just like French fries (but tasted better because it was eggplant inside)! The ostrich meat, which I've never tried before, was delicious when cooked teppanyaki style. The nyonya fried rice tasted a little spicy and contained different seasonings that I hadn't tasted before, but every bite of it was enjoyable. Lastly, the mixed vegetables with tofu provided superb balance to our meal, and the homemade tofu stood out for its soft texture and delightful flavor. What a fantastic and unusual meal - strongly recommend to both locals and tourists alike. ”
“ A good feel of Baba Nyonya cuisine although the service could use more help. Came here for lunch with a group for something different away from KLCC where we work. A bit too close for a taxi ride but a bit too far for a walk. The taxi vote won. When we stepped in, we saw a charming restaurant with a traditional feel in decoration and furnishing. Service was slow and we weren't attended to for about 15 minutes after being handed the menu. From the looks of it their wait staff was undermanned. Luckily that was the only downside. Food arrived quickly and all the dishes were tasty. Our original order for a deep fried garoupa siam style was not available after we checked on our remaining order and was replaced with fish head curry. A good alternative but it would have helped to be informed earlier. In the end a stomach well filled, with authentic cooking that makes you want to order everything on the menu just to have a taste. When you have a craving for home cooked style food you won't be disappointed here. ”
“ When I first arrived here, the place is a little dodgy but the place looks very well decorated. One of the little treasures you find in KL. I came here for my friend's birthday as he likes chinese food very much. This place is more to nyonya kind of Chinese food. I was quite impressed by this place, the decoration have some antique furniture, mostly wooden tables and some marble tables, has that very old phone ringing. Makes it feel like an old nyonya house feel. The food is not bad, their dishes really well cooked in terms of th I like their Sweet & Sour fried fish, their salted egg fried chicken is also good. Just that this kind of place is a little more pricey than your usual chinese restaurants. Sotong is more pricey as usual. You can actually park around the restaurant but quite limited. You must slow down after passing Ambank tower because you can easily missed this place. But overall the food here not bad, pricey but not bad. ”
“ Good experience! The 1st day and 1st meal with my family in this city. Will come back again. ”
