On arrival, there was a stand outside displaying the different lunch sets, I was slightly disappointed because being a Malaysian restaurant, the lunch sets were Chinese food.As a new restaurant, I would of thought they should have been promoting their dishes rather than serving chinese sets, however they did have a booth at East Point City’s Malaysian festival promoting their restaurant.It is quite interesting that the Malay restaurants use parental nouns as the restaurant name such as this one
As a new restaurant, I would of thought they should have been promoting their dishes rather than serving chinese sets, however they did have a booth at East Point City’s Malaysian festival promoting their restaurant.
It is quite interesting that the Malay restaurants use parental nouns as the restaurant name such as this one Pappa, and the one in central uses Mama in the name.
Comparing this restaurant to Malaymama, this one is obviously a big scale restaurant and the items on the menu are more extensive.
They both serve Ip Po Ho Fun, but the price at Malaymama is $3x, while the one here is about double that.
There are some items here that are served at Toast box such as the half-boiled eggs however Pappamia is an expensive version of Malaymama and Toast box combined.
I still havent been to Sh!ok or that Good Satay place in TST so I cannot compare to that.
Inside the restaurant, the decor is similar to Yeh Lam Kwok.
The average price per dish was like $50-60 which is quite expensive.
There were a few items on the menu, which were interesting: soymilk and grass jelly
and soya milk with sweet dumplings.
I felt the local waitors didn’t have much knowledge on Malaysian food, because some customer complained their fried “gwai deal” was not in long strands, and the waitress obviously thought it was chinese ho fun and agreed the chef cooked it badly.
It was later explained by the head waitor the dish was meant to be like that.
Apart from the noodles, there was quite a controversy on their tea too, there were a lot of queries and different expectations from customers, so I think their menu should state clearly about their teas.
Ordered four dishes: Chicken Hainan style, Noodles in curry sauce, grass jelly and lychee drink, and the sago in coconut sauce.
Hainan chicken:
It came with the usual three sauces, chilli, soya and ginger puree.
There was also beanshoots and pineapple too.
The pineapple has been cooked, so it is slightly sour.
The rice was too hard, and the table nearby also complained it was too hard and oily.
Noodles in curry sauce:
There was not much broth, but sufficient curry sauce, it tasted like red curry.
The fish slices that came with it were ok, and the fried fish in beancurd skin was the best.
Grass jelly and lychee drink:
In the menu this was classified as a drink, but it looked more like a dessert.
The size of the cup was huge too, almost slightly bigger than the average soup bowl.
It was very refreshing, there was slushed lychee ice with the grass jelly.
The lychee was a bit too sweet, but it was canned lychees.
Sago in coconut sauce:
This was quite nice, the coconut sauce tastes like those brown coconut candies wrapped in colour wrapping.
Overall, I think the desserts scored better, although I have yet to try the noodles in crab oil.
