At $10 a dish, this Malaysian café is a budget win — perfect if you’re a student or just looking to fill up without emptying your wallet. But for me, it wasn’t quite the flavour journey I was hoping for.
I tried the Penang White Curry Mee, Hainan Chicken Rice, Loh Bak, and Teh Tarik. The curry mee arrived in a generous bowl, but it was mainly noodles swimming in white curry broth, with not much else going on. The Hainan Chicken Rice looked like the real deal, but taste-wise, it felt like my brain got the memo — “this is chicken and rice” — while my mouth and stomach were still waiting for it to show up. The highlight? Only the Teh Tarik — smooth, milky, and exactly how it should be.
If you’re here for value, especially as a student, this is a 5-star find. But if, like me, you’re chasing those bold, satisfying Malaysian flavours, it’s closer to 3 stars — filling enough, but missing the spark that makes you crave the next bite.

Saw some social media post about the $10 meal from this cafe. I ordered the laksa. The broth is delicious and the taste is quite authentic. Perhaps it’s under the $10 meal category, the ingredients are very limited, you are mainly paying for the noodles. Compared with another cafe in the Eastern suburb where they have similar $10 meal, the portion from the other shop seems to be more balanced. If you want some cheap meal at $10, you can come and try.

I was truly impressed by the crispy pork fried rice. Additionally, the price is incredibly reasonable, making it feel like a great value. The staff’s attitude was excellent.
I’m eager to try different dishes on the menu next time! With so many tempting options!

Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. Bang for your buck on all dishes. Highly recommend the hainese chicken, fish fillet curry and fried squid tentacles (not pictured).
