Very generous, too generous with coconut milk. We know that brisbane has tropical climate, and coconut trees grow abundantly, but no need to soak cooked rice in coconut milk please.

Fried fish is Very good! $19.90 only for a whole fish, good value! tom yum soup is also our favourite! good value.

Green curry, Please do not attempt to even order this! no fragrance of green curry, must be moss growing in the bowl and mixed with More coconut milk, looks like curry, tastes like puke.

If you eat there, rice is ripoff. If you takeaway, rice is free. Moral of story, take it away. Tandoori chicken was good. Owner's wife is indian auntie. good! Feels like delhi, without case of delhi belly.

Vietnamese rolls with sauce with peanuts are very good appetizers, eat 1 before big bip noodle soup. Bip is fresh with fresh vietnamese mint and raw taugeh (bean sprouts). Value is good when you order big one. Add $1 for extra noodel. I recommend special one with cow spare parts. High in cholesterol but make you smile.

Beef in curry was hard as rock. We had a hard time chewing it. Make sure you practice with chewing gum left for 2 hours in a freezer before attempting beef curry. Tom yum goong ordered was a main, it came out in an entree size. We sent it back, and they sent us big bowl with big bill. Rice was nice though. Very fragrant. I suspect they use jasmine rice from thailand, 25.80 per 10kg. Like the one I use at home.

Chicken feet, ultimate rave food! the best in canberra by far. Everyone (whether you are scared of chicken feet or not) should try this at least once, if you are scared, close your eyes and use your tastebuds. You will not be disappointed! mango pudding is especially good during the warmer season. Seafood dim sums were fresh and flavoursome. All they are missing is a good chilli paste. Other than that, I'd love to go back for chicken feet!

This is a fake malaysian restaurant. Terrible food, all food had excessive sugar with no particular direction in taste. With curry you usually can't go wrong. This place did. Very wrong. Very unhappy with the food. Very very very disappointing. Not worth half the money paid.

Chilli paste is the best dish. White rice with chilli paste and a side of their $8 lunch special is all you need. Roast duck and king prawn fried rice is also yummy. All must try. Better than anything else on meal menu.

Food was to expectations considering this is Canberra standard Malaysian food. Menu promised alot, rendang came out little. Chendol is highly recommended as it replicates Malaysian chendol pretty well! don't eat the sambal eggplant. It is terrible. Udang lemak was good! Very appetising. Overall, pretty decent restaurant. Will go back for something else, other than rendang and eggplant.

Food was fantastic but very very slow. Should hire more staff during busy periods, we found it very hard to get anyone to our table. They offered us free drinks when they messed up our orders, however, they messed it up again. two times? that can't be right. Kitchen staff, I presume, is blind.
