Old Forest Village — Restaurant in Pahang

Had high hopes for this new branch of Old Forest, the old one being at Jalan Beserah. The ambience was fantastic, with the retro interior matching the vibe of its colonial shophouse exterior. Seating was spacious and plenty, even the tables were intricate with carvings on them. The menu was printed on old school exercise books. The same feeling of anticipation however fell short when the food came. The chicken curry smelled sour, chicken texture somehow tasted like something cooked some days before and reheated. My partner did not finish his nasi lemak. My fried rice was tasty, but having been regulars at Jalan Beserah outlet, I was expecting it to come with a chicken wing but it came with a sausage covered in chili sauce and mayo instead. The rice was nice, but my expectations fell short knowing how much more delicious it is (it had “wok hei”) where we used to frequent. I am really hoping that these are just teething issues that would be solved with time because this new outlet has so much potential with the space and vibe. Please...

A mere shadow of the once superb delicious food offered by old forest in jalan beserah

Food is lame. Half-hearted with minimal effort place in while trying to get the most profit suck out of clueless customer.

Meehoon Siam was so so only. Rendang that comes with it have so much oil that I can deep fry chicken with it Curry chicken of the nasi Pandan looks premade or microwaved with weird texture chicken and potato. Nasi Pandan now comes in two color. white with extra complementary disappointing green sauce splash on top.

Hygiene is also problematic. While finishing the food is torturing enough. If you go into the toilet you probably wouldn't last and surrender... Staff hygiene also need some improvement...

Will never come...

This traditional nyonya restaurant is truly a hidden gem! From the moment you step inside, you're immersed in a rich cultural atmosphere. Each dish is packed with authentic flavors, as if you're tasting the essence of history. The signature dishes, in particular, have a complex texture and aroma that are absolutely mouthwatering, deepening my appreciation for Nyonya culture. Overall, this was an unforgettable dining experience, and I highly...
