I like the decor, I'm a big fan of flat hard chairs, for some reason. The place is cash only - as if the six square blocks of Chinatown is a null zone where your credit card no longer works.
Stangely, the service was very coffeehouse - they just brought out the occasional dish as it finished cooking. We got our appetizers last, but I won't complain overmuch - through all the confusion, we got a completely extra dish that we didn't order.
The roti was the fluffy kind that you so often find in malaysian restaurants - it gets chewy as it gets cold, though. The hokkien mee was good, but not as strong in flavor as you expect hokkien mee to be. Lobak was good and crunchy. Chow kuey tiao was only "okay". Curry mee was really good. Roti telur was a bit flat also. I guess a number of the dishes were underseasoned. Chendol was covered with the brown coffee-ish goop moreso than coconut. Maybe we should've let it melt to a more chendol consistency first
