Had lunch here today after a few years
Had rendang, chicken rice, roti canai, Taiwanese chicken and chili wonton. They were good. I liked the rendang, roti and sambal the most.
We had a nice female server - she made our lunch enjoyable.

A small cozy space. The food comes out quite fast; easy to talk as it’s not loud! The food isn’t overly seasoned which I was quite pleased with! However, some dishes can be quite spicy for non-Asian palates, so ask the server before ordering just in case.
Simple, delicious, good deal. Highly recommend
