Truly a fantastic experience at an authentic Malay restaurant. Every part of the visit was perfect. Good value, delicious food, outstanding service.
We arrived just as they opened to make sure we got a table as we heard it can get very busy. We were greeted by such a glowing, happy woman who brought us to a table and went over the specials and gave us suggestions. She easily talked me into the barley juice they had that day. (It was delicious!)
We ordered a lot of food, and every single dish was amazing and hit the spot. I did miss the tiny anchovies for the nasi lemak, but sometimes, other parts of the experience make up for a tiny lack of something I expected. In this case, the server's kindness made it exceptional.
The satays were tasty and moist, although they were rather large chunks of meat. The Singapore noodles were exactly what I wanted and a good blend of savoury elements. Nothing was too oily, and they are not afraid of the spice here if you let them know. The char kway teow was exceptional. I don't even like prawns and the flavours were wonderful. The wok hei came through so well. I cannot express how much I loved the yam cake. I have been missing it so much and finally a place that does it expertly.
It is quite a large restaurant with a big, colourful dining room, and a more intimate eating area in the front for people who just want to eat with a book, or similar, in a quieter section.
As a little bonus, my partner is Cantonese, and the boss lady spoke Cantonese with her, which was such a delight as she rarely gets to so in Europe, and they have the same name! :)
Malaysian food used to be one of my least favourite Asian cuisines, but because of restaurants like this is it up near the top now. I can't wait to come...
Read moreOne of 3 Malaysian restaurants in Barcelona that served authentic Malaysian cuisine.
We were there during the month of Ramadan so we had our breakfast there. Smooth reservation process via phone call, the owner is super friendly!
Started off with Gabungan Snack a mini serving of all snack combination comprise of spring roll, dumpling, crackers and Kerabu tofu and we also ordered additional chicken satay. The satay sauce was so tasty that I almost felt like home!
We ordered the curry laksa it was so tasty, the broth is so creamy and the chicken was so tender and it was a very generous portion, you will have hard time to finish a bowl alone after all the yummy appetisers 😅. Luckily they give 2 small bowls for us to share.
We also ordered the ayam limau madu (honey lime chicken) with rice. What can I say, it taste exactly like how it would be in Malaysia perfect combo of sweet and sour and very fragrant, also very generous with the portion.
We closed our meal with a sago gula melaka desert and teh tarik. I wanted to order the seri muka but it was not available.
Overall, I would highly suggest you give it a try if you want a taste of Authentic Malaysia cuisine. I love the service and the ambiance, everyone was so warm and we chat with few of their Malaysians staff, the were very nice! I would definitely come back if I am in Barcelona!
Highly...
Read moreAfter having traveled all over Spain for the past two weeks and being ,quite frankly, tired of Spanish cuisine, this really hit the spot. As a Singaporean who now lives in the States, the food here was able to transport me back and fill me with a sense of nostalgia. My wife and I ate here for 3 days in a row due to how amazing the food was. Auntie Agnes and her staff were able to recommend and create a variety of mouth watering dishes. As you can see in the pictures, we ordered a plethora of dishes and covered a lot of the menu. The staff was world class and the service was impeccable. The dishes were authentic and the char kway teow and mee goreng even had “wok hei”, something that’s elusive in Asian restaurants in the western part of the world. The chilis- sambal, chili padi, and chicken rice chili were exceptional as well- every South East Asian knows that it’s as important as the meal itself. The little details such as Achar(pickled vegetables) with the Nasi Lemak was an authentic touch I’ve not seen outside of the “the motherland”. While I may be biased, the labor intensive dishes such as nyonya kuehs-which are easy to overlook- are truly a work of culinary art. Overall gem of a restaurant. 20/10. One of the few reasons I would return to Barcelona. Thank you very much Auntie Agnes and the rest of the staff for the...
