My partner and I came in for a late lunch (~3pm) on a weekday. There was almost no one else here and we ordered the nasi lemak and the vegan wonton soup.
Service: it was OK, especially when it was so quiet. The coats of the two people at our neighboring table fell on the floor, and it took me telling the diners about their coats on the floor for the wait staff to step in and ask if they wanted to hang up their coats. I expected better.
Nasi lemak: not bad; the sauce (sambal? I don't know SE Asian cooking very well) was delicious, the anchovies and pickles added contrasting texture and lightness to the rice (cooked with coconut? pandan? wasn't entirely sure), the fried chicken was decent though perhaps slightly under seasoned. I'm no expert on SE Asian cooking, but it seemed authentic to the streets of Malaysia based on my limited knowledge.
Wonton soup: I was surprised that the impossible meat did as good of a job at mimicking the usual pork/shrimp filling! Texture/flavor both on point, soup was light (though very reminiscent of what I would call "MSG soup" of water/MSG/lard/green onions common in Asian street food), overall pretty good, and I will especially commend them for how well the impossible meat filling worked out.
Here's the reason for the 2-stars: there were flies everywhere, we kept swatting away the flies while we ate INDOORS on a chilly JANUARY day - why are there so many flies? Is this part of the full street food experience? Flies in the bathrooms too - is this a health code violation? They were not small fruit flies - either they were giant fruit flies, or they were actual flies, kind of hard to tell since we kept swatting them away. Something I would've been OK with eating outside on a summer day, but not like this.
Price: a little pricy for what felt like street food that didn't get "elevated" - it was an edifying experience, the food was pretty decent, but felt a little overpriced (at the time of dining, it was $18 for the vegan wonton soup and $21 for the nasi lemak).
Would we be back? Not with the fly infestation - the food was good enough that we'd be interested in coming back to experience more things, but only after the fly situation gets under control.
