Quality/Quantity - Glad we were able to stop by today. I have been meaning to come by for a while. Due to it being a travel day today, we did not arrive until approximately 1pm, an hour before they close. But the best news was that we were the only customers, so we had the best service. It was also good to see the owner here and to catch up with him. Not that I expect him to remember us/me.
Today we got the following:
Martabak - Wanted something different than our usual roti. It was good, but next time I will go back to my usual roti.
Pepe's Salmon - Chef's suggestion. I was worried when it came. So small. But the flavors were amazing! Cooked and seasoned to perfection. The salmon melted in our mouths. I scraped the leftover sauce and put on my ginger rice. My wife thought I was crazy as if I have not eaten in a week. Actually, if you are following, I have only been eating salads and fruit for the last few weeks, so I guess I was hungry, lol.
Char Kway Teow - Their version of the Chinese chow fun flat pan fried noodles. This was good, but barely enough for one person. Again, we are light eaters.
Complimentary Tree Lime Ginger Rice - OMG, what flavors?!?! So good. Our guest, who loves ginger, did not care for this, which surprised us. So I took the generous left overs home.
Keep in mind that we are light eaters and if it was not for the rice, we might have left hungry... At minimum, there would have been NO left overs. So know you are paying for quality and not quantity.
Atmosphere - Very small restaurant. Indoor table and counter seating.
Metered street parking, but if you are lucky, you can find a free residential parking space a few blocks away.
Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm, closed Mondays.
Service - 6 stars. So welcoming. Both from the long term chef (11+ years) to the owner. Great suggestive selling. Professional, polite, etc!
Price - $100 - This includes a few to-go dishes for the people we will be visiting next - Sambal Okra and Singaporean Curry Noodle. See pictures.
Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location for the last 11+ years and your other location for 19+ years. We have been customers for the last 11+ years.
