Reviews:

"Our main meals of sambal cumi cumi (chili squids) and rendang daging sapi (beef curry), especially the beef, were actually quite yummy—the extra spicy chili provided the extra kick we needed." - I-S Review

"The gulai singkong is good - tapioca leaves steeped in creamy juice, and just the right texture. The ikan ghembong is spicy (I kind of thought it would be sour) and the best is the ikan asin pakang - crispy, just the right amount of saltiness, and chewy in the mouth. That was the best dish by far!" - EpicureanHaven Review

"The food is generally good - a hot favourite is the curried beef tendon which is super tender tendon braised in a light creamy curry. The deep fried chicken pieces are stringy but flavourful and topped with lots of deep fried shredded galangal. The beef rendang is unusual for its sweetish gravy, and is preferred over the regular beef curry, although that passes muster as well. The fried eggplant in a chilli base is a must-try despite the slight greasiness, and the prawns with petai (stinky beans) are mild in flavour with just a slight chilli kick." - Jaime Ee, Asiaone Wine and Dine Review
