I was so excited to find this place! Turns out they've been around for decades, so that goes to show they're a staple in the neighborhood.
We came here around 7:30PM on a Saturday, and parking was really easy. It was great that they had a good crowd still at this house. We got seated within 5 minutes!
For dinner, we had:
- Singapore Chicken Rice (aka Hainan Chicken Rice)
- Duck Garlic Noodles
- Roti Prata
- Chicken Satay
The chicken rice wasn't super stand out. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was good, but the sauce and overall flavor was a 4/5!
The duck garlic noodles were super delicious! I stopped ordering garlic noodles from restaurants for a while, because it usually clumps up when the noodles chill. But we had a taste of the noodles right when they were served and again after trying everything else. I loved that they stayed chewy, bouncy, and didn't clump up. 5/5!
The roti prata was soft, crispy, and toasty with a delicious curry sauce. I loved that they separate the roti into small pieces, since it's usually too hot to handle at first. 5/5!
The chicken satay was fantastic on its own. The sauce that came with it was okay, but I didn't feel like it improved the chicken. 4.5/5!
Can't wait to come back! I want to try the Beef Rendang next time (and get more garlic noodles).
As a Singaporean who hasn't been home for 2 years, this was a really special meal for me. It was a pleasure to introduce my colleagues to my home cuisine! I did wish the service would've been a bit more personal and the table was left uncleared for a long time, but I'm giving 5 stars because the food was great and the experience was overall 100!
Pronounced "she-oak", this Singapore English or Singlish superlative word means tasty or delicious, referring to food; satisfying or pleasing, referring to an experience. The food was so good and authentic that the restaurant should rename itself “Damn Shiok” because it deserves to double up on the superlatives!
Pretty good, nice space, very nice owners. The flavors weren't like WOW powerful but each dish was enjoyed. We were with a couple of vegetarians so we had to order that way, but I bet the meat dishes might hold a bit more surprise.
Food is good, they have plenty of options for the vegetarians too. Staff is pleasant and super courteous, the only thing they can do is remodel the ambience but that's fine. Location and the place is perfect to dine in with your families and friends.
This place was wonderful! We had all the classics: nasi lemak, nasi goreng, laksa, and clay pot rice. Everything was really tasty and the cocktails were fun too. Our server was lovely as well! It's unassuming on the outside, but the food is what I care about most, and that was stellar
Get their value lunch set! I've eaten Food in Singapore, but it doesn't have quite the umami flavor I was looking for. The Hokkien Noodle in this restaurant comes with a small cut lemon which really pulls out the fragrance of the gravy. Note* - distinct area serve and cook Hokkien Noodle differently. Horfun in the menu refers to Wat tan hor or (Hua Dan He). Anyway, the portion is decent and the waitress is friendly. Worth a try but of course, you'll need to go to Singapore or Malaysia to try their local food to mesmerize the unique flavor(the umami I was after).
