This place maybe small but the food is fantastic and super consistent. The service is great and the food is awesome! I would highly recommend trying the beef kendar and a roti.

After discovering that this place has the same management as KK, I knew I had to come here.

Service: 7/10
I don’t know why but the worker that serviced us slightly struggled to understand me, but he was quite friendly, and gave us recommendations on portion sizes.
The wait time was relatively slow but there were only two people in the kitchen and a big family before us.

Food: 7/10
We ordered the pork belly rice, beef kandar rice, seafood laksa, satay chicken wrap and a roti partha.
My favourite was the pork belly; it was fatty, tender and had a sweet braised flavour; the salad was light and refreshing with a vinegar-based dressing.
The laksa didn’t really have the coconut flavour I desired.
The beef kandar was creamy but didn’t really amaze me.
The wrap is a tasty option for when you’re on the go and the roti had crispy, flakey layers.

Ambiance: 8/10
This place is a more modernised version of KK with a more chic layout. The contrasting colours of the furniture and pop music is trendy and attractive towards the younger generation.
The seating area is quite small so it’s better suited for small groups of diners.
The open kitchen allows you to see how your food is being made and also lets out delicious smells.

This little eatery is a great option for a quick, cheap meal in Ponsonby. I would recommend ordering a few sides or wraps when dining in groups as the portions aren’t big.

Eat here regularly and will continue returning. Am a big fan of the roti wraps however, I ask them to make a special tofu peanut sauce version for me and they always happily oblige. Great staff and delicious food. Would highly recommend.

Been here many times as my local and they are related to the famous KK at Epsom but this is more catered or fused with the western style offering like kumara chips and pumpkin salad but I usually go for the chicken laksa which is at the pricier end but they do have lunch specials which is cheaper and smaller portion , recommended if you live in the area or fancy some Malaysian fusion style food !

This is a nice place to go for early dinner. Its very casual with beautifully set up eating space.

Best to dine in with max 4 people if you coming in group.

Good portion...A decent amount of food selection in the menu. I would personally categories the flavour more 🤔 Asian-Fushion rather Authentic...Still equally delicious.

Friendly staff.

Worth coming here to try especially if it's your local. ☺

Thank you for accommodating for my nut and peanut allergy :) it is an extra positive experience to visit a restaurant where those who serve you know the ingredients well and make an effort to re-wash the kitchen tools.

The best Pork & Shrimp Dumplings ever! I read the Takeaway Menu and it said 8 pieces, however I got 12! Perfect for a one person meal and incredibly tasty and still very hot when I got home (5mins walk away on a very cold night) Will be back!

Pretty little place, nice decor with friendly staff. I liked their take on Malaysian food, not authentic but nice fusion. I loved the beef n shrimp dumplings which came in a bowl with a little onion chilli sauce/gravy and fried shallots on top. Yum! The curly fries were good too. Was not a big fan of the pork belly dish though. Overall good experience. Lot of other interesting things to try next time..

Classy and comfortable little joint, with friendly service. Nice spin on classic dumplings - quite a step up. The laksa was delicious, with a very generous serving of tender chicken. Has a much more modern vibe and taste than your usual Malaysian offerings. The tofu dish was also very more-ish. Both side dishes offered great value, something I rarely experience. I’m sure I’ll be back!

Great food, fresh and light served with fresh salads and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend the vege laksa, which is packed full of veg, tofu and freshly grated cucumber. The tofu is fantastic as well, which is more like a salad as it comes mixed in with grated cucumber and a light sweet chilli sauce and some kind of nut or sesame seed, really delicious if you like light, fresh flavours and a mix of textures. Prices not too dissimilar from food halls but quality is far higher, great service as well. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome Pork Belly Lunch! So good I had to come back for more. Beautifully tender, falls to pieces, with salad, rice and one of those delicious grey brown Asian boiled eggs. Generous portion for only $10.
