Kapitan Reviews
We love Malaysian food especially Peranakan! The portions are American hahaha but it's okay. The Char Kway Tiau, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Ayam Masak Merah etc., etc., etc. Just great food and the owner engages with patrons. Oh yes, Chili Crabs finger licking good
Authentic Singapore taste and textures. Roti is great! Can’t believe they have Kaya toast ! Nice take. Rojak flavors excellent. Murtabak spiced just enough, great egg flavor. If I can just get them to make black carrot cake and char kway teo ! Ate there for the first time last night, Everything was so good I can’t wait to try everything on the menu!
