I'll have to go back and try other stuff. Really wanted kaya toast but they didn't have it available. This was our first visit. The dry wonton noodle was a favorite dish in Malaysia. Hard to find in Houston. Perhaps they overdid the saucing a bit. Felt like the noodles were drowning in it. But everything else was relatively solid. Thumbs up on the teh tarik.

Me and my wife went to Singapore few years ago and really missed kaya toast. This is the only place in Houston that has it, and it's awesome with the pandan flavor. We ordered kaya toast, Hainan chicken rice, salted egg calamari and Chili prawns and we could not finish it. The dishes are huge for the price. Totally recommend it.

Decent Malaysian food for a reasonable price. Hainan chicken and roti with chicken curry was quite good, the sizzling black pepper beef was a bit salty. We came on a Saturday night and service was a bit slow. We had to wait quite a bit for our food.
