The kitchen here delivers an impressively high standard of cooking. The Chill Crab Bao offered a well-balanced contrast of textures – a crisp shell giving way to a soft, fluffy interior, with a filling that was flavourful and carried a measured spicy kick. The Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng was outstanding: aromatic coconut rice, authentic sambal with depth, and chicken that was both succulent and perfectly crisp-skinned. The Bak Chor Mee was equally well executed, with the correct ingredients and noodles cooked to ideal firmness.
Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. Dishes arrived at inconsistent intervals, with one course served significantly later than the other, leaving my companion to finish her meal before mine arrived. Similar delays and mix-ups were evident at nearby tables. More concerning, a garnish concealed a dead bug.
Overall, the food is exceptional and among the best of its kind in London, but the service requires substantial improvement to meet the standard set by the kitchen.
