i'm korean and lived in malaysia for 20+ years, so my expectations for this place was pretty high! seeing a restaurant combine two of my favorite cuisines together was creative and such an exciting idea.
we got the fried chicken sandwich with the chili crunch. i've never been a fan of chicken sandwiches but this had the perfect crisp, and the chili crunch was definitely a great add! the flavor is so well maintained, with the juices from the fried chicken flowing out after every bite! spice level wise didn't pack a punch, so if you're a spicy addict like me, i'd say to up the spice level!
the next dish was the rice noodle salad with chicken suasage! let me tell you the FLAVORS was just popping! the tangy, sweet, and umami felt like a delicacy. sadly, the noodles were overcooked, which i believe would've helped with absorbing the flavors a lot more into the noodles. the sauce reminded me of sambal, and the tangy flavors reminder me of kimchi. these flavors just meshed so well together.
last we got the vegan red curry. we were told this was a laksa, so already high hopes. although it didn't have the laksa flavor i was hoping, this still did no disappoint! the charted bok choy and tofu, which was the slightly firm kind added a fun texture that combines well with the curry. though the curry was slightly sweet, the thickness of the curry was just right. if you're vegan or vegetaria and looking to try something a little different the vegan red curry is something to try!
thank you for combining two cuisines that are a part of me and my identity! Abang yoli helped me reminisce my memories in malaysia!
