Very good and authentic Malaysian food. The bak kut teh is the best for me. Not really fond of the curry flavor from the chicken curry but the overall dish tasted good! Chicken is very tender. I was hoping there will be sambal that comes with the Nasi Lemak. Wan that hor also tasted good. Will try the laksa and noodles next time. Super recommend

Amazing food much recommended! We had the nasi lemak rendang and wat tan hor, both extremely delicious! For drinks we got the ais cendol dessert, was a great coconut sweet treat! Thank you kind lady for being so helpful with explaining your national dishes!

Don't expect the food to taste exactly like the real thing but it was still good. I was missing home food a lot and they came in clutch. The owner found out about my birthday and gave me a free durian ice cream. Perfect

The food here was amazing and very authentic! I am Malaysian myself and this place reminds me of home. From the details of Milo decors in the restaurant to the typical orange and green plates and chopsticks that they use for serving the food. The service was excellent as well and the staff are extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place!

Is there anything better than a family run restaurant? Yes, it’s a family run restaurant that serves you a little cup of complementary bak kut teh after a delicious, hearty meal, with a warm smile and conversation! Cute decorations and yummy vegan options here too.

This restaurant might be my favourite Malaysian restaurant in NL! The utensils and tables remind me of a mamak and the food is incredible! The portions are big and worth the price, and everytime I return I try something different from the menu. I want to bring everyone here to introduce them food from home <3 this is also the best roti canai ive had in NL out of the other Malaysian restaurants I've been to :) The owner and her daughter are lovely and have that personal touch by remembering my face ahah.

Lovely place with authentic flavours. I ordered the Wat Tan Hor , portion was very generous and appetizing. The homemade ice tea was very refreshing and tasted just like in Asia. The owner was very welcoming and service was top notch. If you are looking for a place to eat in Rotterdam with dishes you won’t find elsewhere this is the place. Highly recommended!
