With a limited menu, this unlikely little place deserves a 4 out of 5 for taste. The kitchen appeared clean as well. They had a limited menu with kitchen table, and we tried the lamb and chicken rendang with mee goreng noodles and roti canai respectively. The mango salad was tasty too! Unfortunately, the roti was somewhat disappointing, as it was already pre-made and reheated which made it greasy and not too appealing. The owners are from Ipoh, Malaysia (a couple of hours from Penang) and were very polite and willing to please. Apparently, they also make 'Bubur cha-cha,' a classic coconut milk dessert which contains sweet potatoes and taro. I might have to try it next time.

Looks like a table by the front entrance is reserved for owner admin purposes. Front area filled with good luck paraphilia to ward off evil spirits. My friend knew all the staff and proceeded right away to speak Malay. Let my friend do the ordering, I recognized a few of the dishes such as beef curry, chicken curry (both with roti), boneless chicken rice plate, chicken skewers, grilled sambal stingray, penang hokkien mee and a few other dishes (look at photos) I didn't recognise. There was one interesting dish Rojak, a mixed salad of chopped fruit & vegetables smothered in a pungent fermented shrimp sauce, sweet, tangy, spicy, a whole smorgasbord of flavors dancing on my tongue. Three words I've never used to describe Roti, theirs was crunchy, fluffy and moist, wonderfully dipped either in the beef or chicken curry. Chicken skewers were grilled well, meat remained moist with a nice grilled aftertaste, not necessary to dip into the accompanied curry sauce as the overall flavor stood on its own. The Sambal sting ray was a little disappointing, didn't match the memory of the one I had at the Singaporean hawker food court I had a few years ago. Overall flavor was lacking. Penang Hokkien Mee is the real deal, large plump shrimp w/ firm egg noodles in a somewhat spicy flavorful broth. We came on a Friday night, the restaurant was about 50% full, what a great cultural food experience which needs further support.

Decor isn't really anything to write home about, it's not why we came here. The roti canai was super delicious. Roti was flaky and buttery, the curry nicely spiced and waiting to be sopped up by the roti. The Indonesian fried rice was recommended by the staff and it didn't disappoint. Char Kwei Teow was nice, the wok hei was very apparent here as well as the Kang Kung Belacan (water spinach). The hainanese chicken while tasty was very bony (menu said it had bones). Desserts were a perfect way to end the meal

The flavours here are right, but weak. They get 2.5 stars…read more Mild chicken rice (I'm not sure why there's a spicy option) was so so. The rice was slightly dry & bland. There was pickled carrot & daikon, which were good but puzzling. The chicken was decent, coming with green onion sauce on top (so it was Hainan style, not Malaysian). There was no dark soy sauce but the chili was about right. The soup tasted right but was very dilute. Bok choy on the side was decent. It came with soy sauce & oil. Ayam goreng rice had freshly fried chicken with the right turmeric-based flavour but it did not penetrate & was undersalted. The dish was also on the dry side, with no sauce. Curry puff had the right flavour but it was weak. The filling was quite pale - there was not enough rempah (spice mix). Shrimp spring roll was fresh & had springy shrimp but was slightly mushy & had a large carrot piece to bulk it up. The dipping sauce was dilute & weird The pho was $10 (without meat, but you get quite a lot for $1). The soup was alright. There was no lime or herbs, but it was cheap. Their Laksa is Malaysian style (curry mee). Entrees come with bottled water.

The curry had plenty of large tender chicken chunks and the spice level was perfect to go with rice . I don't see a lot of curry, puff availabilities, so this one was pretty good if you are missing those flavors. Would explore more of the options in the future.

It's definitely worth trying for something different! The wait staff were attentive and quick to offer suggestions for food and drinks.

Choice of little spice, medium spice and burn your tongue spicy. Luckily I chose medium spicy which was just about right. Ordered take out, got home, the hot noodles were starting to stick together, quickly separated using my chopsticks. The curry soup stock was placed in a separate round container, still very hot. The fish balls, tofu, chicken, bean sprouts were swimming in delicious hot spicy curry broth. When combined with the noodles I could have sworn I heard angels singing. Super delicious at a surprisingly reasonable price. Life is good.

We ordered Curry Laksa (not pictured), Char Kway Teow, Nasi Lemak with Sambal Ikan Bilis, Kui Dadar, and Kuih Seri Durian. The highlight for us was the Char Kway Teow. Great flavor and great wok hei. The desserts that they have on weekends were also quite tasty and not overly sweet. The Curry Laksa with the mixed noodles (we got half and half of the 2 types of noodles they offered) were also great as well. It was amazing for the price and I'm glad my Malaysian friend recommended this place to try out.

Truth be told, I am not a fan of the original version of this dish because of the bitter edge from the lye. So though this isn't quite authentic I prefer this version (without the bitterness). The noodles weren't quite right (mixing rice vermicelli with yellow noodles) & it was not that wet or black, but I was okay with that. There was a lot of pork & shrimp in it. It was flavourful though it didn't quite have the smoky wok flavour. The stock was rich & it was generously seasoned with liquid lard & crispy lard. The belachan (hot sauce) was odd - like spicy samsui chicken ginger sauce.

As a popup they might disappear next week, but they've been doing this for a few months already so they probably will stick around for at least a while more. They get 3.5 stars. The pisang goreng (fried bananas) were good. They were crispy & fresh & served with some crispy bits. It was Malay-style so the bananas were not as ripe as Chinese-style pisang goreng. This was my first time having char kway teow with lime (it worked as a substitute for calamansi). It was decent. The ingredients were right, e.g. chives! And there was enough egg. There were charred bits & the shrimp fresh but there was no smoky wok flavour. I had it medium spicy & the spiciness was about right for that level.
