A chaotic, high-energy Malaysian spot on Rye Lane that serves bold, sticky comfort food in a knee-knocking, buzzing atmosphere.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is heavy on rich flavors, so share plates family-style. The milk fried chicken is intense, so one portion is best split between two or three.
What to order
Satay Ayam
Universally praised as 'beautifully grilled to tender inside' with 'delicate flecks of char outside.' These skewers are described as 'supremely easy to enjoy' and 'exactly as we'd like it.'
Ayam Goreng Susu
The 'headline act' of the menu, this 'milk fried chicken' is described as pure 'hedonism.' Reviewers call it a 'couldn't resist' dish that is central to a 'straightforwardly brilliant' meal.
Grilled Seabass
A substantial 'fine-looking whole fish' where the flesh 'flaked under the skin with just the slightest of pulls.' It comes 'perfectly seasoned' with a 'vinegary finish' and a side of spinach.
Roti Jala Sage
A unique find consisting of rolled roti with the 'crisp edges of a pancake' and a 'softer, more porous interior.' It serves as a 'light foil' to a side of 'mildly spiced lentils.'
Masak Lemak Scallops
A standout small plate featuring a 'superbly rich and complex turmeric curry' and a 'gentle touch of smoke' from the char-grill, offering a 'surprisingly generous amount of seafood.'

Good to know
The restaurant recently moved to a larger location on Rye Lane (formerly behind the White Horse pub) and now has an alcohol license. It gets very loud and busy.
