The Balsa Eatery — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Nice wood furnitures and bamboo curtain deco indoor. Outdoor has umbrellas and is pet friendly area.

Order is via QR menu. They do hv paper menu without pic but unsmiling staff informed that order must be via QR Code. Can continue as guest to order online without giving personal phone or details - hate companies who insist on these, no privacy and possible to get spam in the future.

Smoked duck spaghetti was ok, a bit too salty for me but normally smoked duck is salty. Mocha was really gao (thick taste). Hash brown was not in online menu but was in the paper menu. This is quite big n a lot!

Overall taste is ok but nothing that wowed me.. Plus, the staffs are not friendly n helpful except the guy who helped checked on hash brown.

Parking is right in front or nearby the shoplots. This place is right in front of electric towers (not good for health).

Saw a cute puppy tied at the outdoor area covered by umbrellas. Pity it was on short leashed... Do let it walk around freely. Imagine someone else chain you on leash when nobody is even eating in...

Excited coming here to try out their food, dessert and drinks as the display images looks very appealing. However this place has fail to meet our expectations. Mainly due to many flies flying all over the place, transformed a simple lunch meal into a nightmarish ordeal. Food tasted normal, nasi lemak rice was a bit soggy, sambal is filled with chilli seeds and skins personally I think it should be blended, but portion given was big. Wanted to try their dessert as well but the entire dining experience was uncomfortable as we were flicking our hands back and forth throughout the entire meal shooing flies away, they landed on the straws and the food itself. So frustrated with this matter and we ended up leaving and not trying to desserts. Entire meal 3 plates of main course and 3 drinks cost us about rm107 including tax which is expensive for a simple lunch meal. The restaurant should look into this matter, flies flying all around the place isn't unhygienic and can cause...

I will said that, this restaurant offered the best dinning experience in the region. The environment is so comfortable, cool and cozy.

My mum and I ordered the squid and shrimp rice as well as the nasi lemak. The souce texture for the squid and shrimp rice is super awesome 💯 and is a must try dish. The sambal is delicious too, different from others sambal which tend to be spicy or sweet, the sambal here is so rich in favour and refreshing since it also tasted like asam sambal.

The drinks here priced reasonable and I will said that I pay for the fair price for Americano, but the drinks is like 2 cups. Worth it so so much.

The service lady staff in the front counter is so friendly, very attentive, smiling always. Kudos to this ambity customer service team.

Anyway, good dining experience and will surely visit again.

My small recommendation will be, could the souce for the squid and shrimp to be mirror and use to create another dishes, say chicken chop rice. It will...
