After growing up most of my life in SEA, this is by far one of the most authentic tastes of the region. You get greeted by an Indonesian aunty whose service as well as homemade chilli sauce is out of this world (we took 3 whole tubs home. As for the food, we had the wings to start. I had the khew tioh and rendang, my husband had the java chicken and fried rice. Everything was amazing. Fresh, flavourful and the portions were huge. We ate plenty and had plenty to go. Love love love. 100% recommend!

Some of the best food I've eaten a long time. I'd never eaten Malaysian good prior to this visit. The food was so carefully prepared and flavourful. The spice levels were just right and best of all we felt fantastic afterwards. We got a second meal to eat the day following . Will definitely repeat! Also our server was wonderfully attentive and knowledgeable.

get the shaved ice ! Its a must after all that food. Absolutely lovely family owned restaurant. It was my first time after passing by this place so many times living in ottawa. The medium spicy is just perfect. The ginger chicken was my favourite with the malaysian mee goreng close second (eat it with rice) and the shaved ice dessert was a comforting and soothing treat to the spice and salt. Owners were so pleasant and easy to talk to. Theres no fluff to this restaurant.

I'm from Brunei and all I gotta say is this is a taste of home. I've been going here since we moved to Canada. The food is always on point and the atmosphere is great. Great family own business that will always get my business.
