I honestly only came here to pick up one of their famous Mocha Buns which I had been craving since the K-Town Night Market, but ended up ordering everything else, and taking the Mocha Bun to go.
Their menu is packed to the brim with delicious Malaysian delicacies, so I recommend bringing a few peeps to help you scarf down the delciousness. The definite must-try's for first-timers are, of course, the Mocha Buns, but their combo plates are super-affordable, with enough food to feed 2-3 hungry people. I would personally go for a rice combo plate including thir more popular options like the Coconut Rice, Chicken Satay, Hard-Boiled Egg, Malaysian Peanuts, & Samba Sauce, (probably named that way because it's so good, it makes you want to dance).
The Toasted Hainan Bread needs a paragraph all its own. It's, quite literally, the perfect piece of toast served with a sweet base of coconut Malaysian jam, and your choice of butter or peanut butter. Just try it. You can thank me later.
They also serve Garlic Naan, which is surprisingly tasty. It's a type of light & fluffy bread that can be served with curry sauce & potato, or eaten as is. Both ways are delicious, but the curry sauce & potato make quite the savory combination. And something needs to be said about the Roti Canai. It looks like an average tortilla, but the texture is chewy and soft, and is paired perfectly with their housemade curry sauce.
These guys even do Fried Chicken perfectly. And their Malaysian Braised Beef would make even hardcore vegetarians question their lifestyle.
Oh, and you'll need a beverage to wash it all down. Their Pappa Cham, which is coffee & teh (sweet Malaysian milk), tastes just like a milk tea, without the boba.
The staff is overworked, but sweet and accommodating, nonetheless. Just be prepared to wait a while for your food during peak hours.
