Famous with their "Nasi kandar" where you can select two meats and one vege (or more for additional cost). Staff are pretty polite when we're there. Heard they opened a branch at Northbridge too but we never tried it yet

Approximate cost: $10

Authentic malaysian cuisine, a bit of a queue to get in on weekends but once seated, this has a pretty comfortable atmosphere. Good variety of malaysian food to choose from as well as drinks. One of the rare places in Perth to order a warm mug of well made Horlicks! I always order the roti with egg and cheese. Absolutely delicious! Good service too, fast and friendly.

I had a craving for Malaysian cuisine and we went to this place. There was a small queue at the door as patrons had to queue, order, pay and be seated. It took quite a long time for them to clear the queue though it wasn't that long. I ordered a Nasi Lemak (coconut rice, egg, friend achovies and peanuts) with Ikan Assam Pedas (Spicy Tamarind Fish). My partner had the mee goreng but minus the spice. The wait for the food was about 10-15 minutes, which was fine. A restaurant staff then came to me to say that he thinks the fish is too dry as its been in the bain-marie for some time. So I chose to have the chicken in spicy gravy instead. The portion was average (1 tiny chicken thigh), but the spice level could lift the roof off. Overall, taste-wise it was ok. The staff did provide me with a small plate of sample fish which I ordered, kudos for that, and kudos for being honest. The mee goreng was pretty average, but I guess that could be because I asked for it not be spicy. Ok value for money, but somehow I don't think I would bother queing for this food.

This cafe reminds me of Malaysia as the food here is very authentic. I normally get the roti prata with teh tarik. It's so delicious but quite pricey! You can find other Malaysian rice and noodle dishes here too.

Quite a nice place to hang out. The menu is pretty standard, but I have to admit that the food is horrible. I found a rubber band inside my fried kwetiauw which is very disgusting.
