Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5, Service 5/5
Spectacular. Was there for dinner on Sept 7th. Group of 6 people. Ever so often you come across a gem of a place.
Food 5/5
Instead of the usual description - I'm going to list out what was ordered and my impression of each dish.
Appetizers:
Roti Canai - Chicken - Excellent
Paneer Black Bean - Excellent
Kung Pao Potato - Excellent - Spicy
Laksa Soup - Excellent
Main Course:
Lamb Rendang - Very good
Penang Shrimp Curry - Excellent - by far the star of the night.
By this point we could not put another morsel of food in our mouth's. So no dessert comments for now.
Ambience - 4/5
Very New York. Exposed brick looks great. The huts remind me of Penang in NY, lot of common dishes actually. They have a party room in the back that was lit up with candles - looked great for a romantic dinner, but a little too dim for my taste. Overall, matches the Pan Asian theme.
Point to note, I don't think a lot of people know about this place, it's apparently only one and a half year old, point being - it's not crowded on weekday's.
Service - 5/5
Had the head chef personally explain the menu and suggest dishes. How often do you get that around here? They were not very busy, so the waiters were prompt but not intrusive. Orders were served promptly and nothing negative in this department.
In closing, I wish the very young chef all the best and hope he keeps doing what he does best - cooking up a delight.
