Authentic food, friendly staff

Makcik (read: middle-aged lady) greeted me with a friendly "sit" while ladling steamed rice from a massive white rice cooker at the far corner of the restaurant. Ordered the nasi goreng (choice of spicy or non-spicy, I chose the former) and iced milk tea, which was incidentally called 'es teh susu' instead of 'teh ais' in Malaysia - I speculate it could be the difference in the order in which said drink is prepared (ice first, then tea, then milk as opposed to tea first then ice) but I digress.N

Makcik (read: middle-aged lady) greeted me with a friendly "sit" while ladling steamed rice from a massive white rice cooker at the far corner of the restaurant.

Nasi goreng is reminiscent of the sort one would expect from a standard street-side stall (e.g. warung, mamak stall) complete with plastic plate and glass. Was momentarily transported through a culinary portal back to Malaysia. If I may be so daring to say, the food is authentic enough for me to engage in a Malay chat with aforementioned makcik for well over 10 minutes post-meal (which I did)

Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat
