Ordering Strategy

Order a mix of roti and hearty mains like laksa or nasi lemak to share. Be prepared for a leisurely pace, as Auntie Normah cooks everything herself in a one-woman kitchen.

What to order

Safe first

Roti Canai with Daal

These "soft, flaky and crumbly sheafs" are buttery and moreish, with an extra thickness that gives them a "gentle tug and chew" that some critics prefer over London's more famous roti spots.

Hungry

Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken

A combination of "sweetly fragrant rice" and fried chicken that features a "crisply snappy then airy skin" while remaining "tender and juicy" on the inside.

Wildcard

King Prawn Laksa

One of Normah's "home-style classics," this noodle soup features a "warming, soothingly spiced broth" that packs enough heat to bring a light sheen of sweat to your brow.

What to skip

Skip
Beef Rendang— While it can be umami-rich, reviewers have found it "somewhat inconsistent," sometimes arriving "wetter with a faded, more timid moreishness" or a "jerky-like dryness."

Good to know

Located deep inside Queensway Market. It is fully halal and no alcohol is served. Essential to book ahead as the tiny space fills up fast and popular dishes frequently sell out.
