Chanced upon this place when I wanted to eat Ramen but realized that Santouka Ramen was permanently closed. A little pricey, but each curry has its unique taste! My favorite is the mutton curry and curry vegetables! After trying out their curry, I think I will revisit at least once a month!

First and last time here.
- I ordered one curry chicken leg which was cold, and the curry sauce lacked depth and flavor. It was the most bland curry I've ever had. I don't like food that's too spicy or oily, but it must at least have some flavor. And worse, it was served cold. And this leg cost $10.90!!!
- The mutton curry meat was tough, but the curry this time had more flavor, though it was cold as well. I really don't like food served cold, especially at such prices in a restaurant. I almost spit out every piece of meat. This small bowl cost $6.20.
- A very small piece of fried fish: $6.20.
- A warm glass of lemon barley: $5.50!! Can you believe it???
- When I asked for another curry sauce, like Assam curry, to try, the waitress told me that since I ordered chicken and mutton, she couldn't give me Assam curry sauce. It's already so expensive; why be so stingy over a small plate of sauce? My curry chicken already had sauce, and they gave me another bowl of similar sauce. I really don't understand the mentality here.
Look at the pictures: the small fish covered in chili sauce, chicken and mutton, mixed vegetables, and a glass of lemon barley.
The total bill was $44.93, but they rounded up to $45. Can they charge customers extra by rounding up? It's only 7 cents, but can you charge customers extra in principle? They told me the system is like that, but then your system is fundamentally wrong.
Never go back again.

We stopped by Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee for a quick lunch and were immediately intrigued by their unique offering of Chinese-style nasi padang.
We took a leap of faith and ordered a few dishes to share—and we weren’t disappointed. While the spice level was milder than we’d hoped for, the food was still delicious and satisfying.
I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because the dishes could’ve been served a bit warmer.
That said, the friendly service and overall experience made up for it.
We’ll definitely be back to try more!

An amazing day spent in this area.
For lunch, this Nasi Padang-style Indonesian food really amazed my palate.
The food was on the mild side, which means not as spicy as authentic Indonesian food, but the flavour was on point.
The price is a little higher, but I understand given the location. There were price boards, which means no hidden costs.
Food: 5/5 🌟
Service: 5/5 ⭐
Atmosphere: 5/5 ⭐️ (the window seats are great)
Will definitely be here again if I am around the area!

Authentic, excellent quality, superb service.
Has been around since 1935 😎.
A place where you can taste a mixture of Nyonya, Indonesian, Malay, and Chinese flavours, represented by their rendang.
Rendang chicken and curry chicken each has its own flavour, but I prefer the rendang chicken.
Eggplant with chilies looks hot but is soothing while eating, not spicy at all. The fragrance of spices and freshly ground chilies, I believe.
The service is exceptional, with staff who are friendly with regulars, which makes the dining experience homely.
The food I consider home-cooked flavour that makes you feel like you're enjoying 5-star dining at home.
Price is very affordable for a restaurant.
Highly recommended.
