If you're in the mood for Malaysian cuisine, there aren't many options. In the city where I live, for example, there isn't a single one. Thank goodness there are some in Amsterdam and here you can get a passable curry shrimp laksa. Unfortunately, the chicken rice lacked a bit of flavor. Portion sizes are good. Service is nice. The restaurant is a bit cramped. No credit cards accepted.
Actually if you born originally Malaysian, you will know the taste of the food good or not. Good delicious food alone not enough without excellent " Malaysian hospitality ". At this little Malaysian owner restaurant, I pick Hainan Chicken rice and teh tarik, the taste just nice and great hospitality and feel home!!! The balance is amazing and highly recommended while you in Amsterdam.
The eatery gives you a bit of Malaysian flavour if you would like to know before traveling there. Not all the dishes are Nyonya and not all the flavours are correct. I still commend the owner’s effort to bring Malaysian cuisine to Europe. We ordered a laksa, nasi goreng Nyonya and a teh tarik . The pulled teh was pretty good and sweet enough for me. So I recommend this drink. The nasi goreng or fried rice was flavourful, slightly spicy with enough greasiness so it was quite close to the actual dish. The laksa however was only half way to the actual laksa. The boiled egg, fish cakes, peeled prawns, and fried tofu were there, and so was the tauge. The broth had coconut milk and curry flavour in it. What lacking was quintessential cockles, thick beehoon instead of the soft yellow noodles. The broth also needed a deep shrimp paste taste to be in balance with the rich coconut taste. And the chicken pieces used in both dishes looked and tasted the same. They would be much better to make shredded chicken which is commonly used in Malay dishes. Each main dish set you back euro 15 and I feel it is high for these types of dishes. Especially if you have tried laksa and nasi goreng in Malaysia, you know they should be more affordable.
Y’all, this is Malaysian food IN Amsterdam. It will never, ever, ever taste like it does when you’re at home I can state this bluntly as a Malaysian, but it will tick most boxes if you have a craving. Also, don’t compare cost to produce the food in Malaysia to Holland. It’s equally unrealistic. Food. Chicken rice. Chicken wasn’t as delicate as it would be in Asia again, see note above, but the flavor notes were there. Some ginger sauce on the side would have been nice to have. Char koay teow had a little of that wok hei. We enjoyed the greens without sambal. And the roti was the cross between crispy and soft. The curry dipping was delicious, but a little too thin and runny for me, mostly as I suspect it is also used for the curry noodle soup base. Space is small so make a reservation. Signs say they take cash only, but they do allow cards. Family owned and run.
Good service, clean environment but food leaves much to be desired. If you’re in the mood for South East Asian food in Amsterdam, this Malaysian suggests that you opt for Indonesian cuisine instead. Three of us had hainanese chicken rice, penang style char kway teow, mee siam and fried kang kung with prawns. The char kway teow and kang kung are pretty alright. They were very generous with the prawns… which actually distract from the dishes. The tasty rice is served with poached chicken with soy sauce, topped with fried garlic. The ginger sauce, garlicky chili sauce and soup typically seen with this dish are missing, and the otherwise decent chicken has a generous sprinkling of pepper over the top… not quite sure why? Now, the mee siam… well, it just wasn't mee siam. The noodles were wrong, the spices were wrong, the seasoning was wrong. Perfectly fine plate of stir fried noodles, but not a plate of mee siam. Others appear to be singing praises of the nasi goreng, so maybe try that instead? I won’t be… because I’m not going back.
This place is run by real chinese aunties and uncles and the food was really good, it reminds me of home, Singapore!! Only a pity they don’t have teh peng iced milk tea. The nasi lemak was my favourite dish their nasi lemak rice was super yummy, as with their chilli!!. Roti canai/roti prata was nice too, but it came with laksa gravy instead of the usual curry the laksa gravy was nice nonetheless
A Malaysian local review. Service was great however nasi lemak was disappointing no anchovies and as the main ingredient being the lemak sambal it was realistically too little to enjoy a nasi 'lemak' dish. If you ask for more it's an additional 3 euros. For measurement, the sambal would amount to a full teaspoon. We took the roti chanai as stater, and the curry could have been better. Noodles were good/average. Price steep for quality and portion. Teh tarik was good.
Went there on our first trip to Amsterdam Loved it Amazing place Nice food Gets a bit busy due to good taste What I loved the most was that everything is made fresh Will definitely recommend it Dietary restrictions: Offer halal food
Loved this place so much! Authentic Malysian food, very tasty Laksa and yummy noodles. They were about to close, but we convinced them to let us eat there, as we've travelled from far to try their food, that did not disappoint. This place reminded me of Kuala Lumpur. Totally hidden jam.
Beautiful place in the city center. Highly recommend ordering Laksa and teh tarik. Friendly service and true Malay dishes.
