Silky sheets of rice noodle carried a smooth texture, wrapping around a generous filling that looked plump but was actually prawn paste. The soy‑based sauce gave a gentle savoury lift while the side of chilli added some kick 》RM11.50

Har gow, siew mai, pork ribs and stuffed bitter gourd came steady with familiar steamed flavours, while the lotus leaf rice stood out fragrant and sticky with chicken and salted egg yolk. Push carts weaving through the restaurant brought that classic dim sum vibe, making it easy to pick dishes as they passed by. Overall, it’s a casual dim sum stop with authentic flavours and decent variety on the table.

Clear tom yum seafood soup leaned more sour than spicy, appetising and generous with seafood and mushrooms that gave it a bright lift. Stir‑fried kang kong Thai style came slick with garlic and chili, while basil pork felt dry without much sauce, missing that extra punch. Food overall was decent with authentic flavours coming through, though rice at $1.50 per portion felt pricy for what it is.

Iconic green pandan rice that’s fluffy and fragrant, rich with coconut flavour in every bite. The sambal adds a sweet spicy kick that ties the whole pack together. The standard set comes with chicken wing, egg and fish cake, and I added a fillet. Queues build quickly and while I this above average, it’s something I’ll enjoy when I’m in the area rather than making a trip just for it 》$9 / 2 Sets + 1 Fillet

Rich curry broth that comes creamy and full of flavour in every spoonful. It feels hearty without being too heavy, the kind of bowl that keeps me going back for another sip. Portion could be a little bigger for the price but it’s still a comforting pick when I’m craving laksa with a mix of YTF 》$7

Matcha comes through smooth with a refreshing earthy note, steady and pleasant sip after sip. The salted milk foam isn’t obvious on top but shows up in the taste, coming across a little strong at first before easing as the ice melts. Over time it blends better with the matcha, turning into something lighter and more balanced. The portion felt a little small compared to other home‑based matcha I’ve had at the same price, wished the cup was taller so I could enjoy more 》$6.90

Gotten a strawberry matcha latte, turned it into a float with a scoop of matcha gelato and the result was 🤤. Bright strawberry sat at the base, creamy milk filled the middle and vibrant matcha crowned the top. The matcha flavour came through clearly, giving the drink depth while the strawberry added a refreshing lift. The gelato brought extra richness without feeling heavy and the chewy warabimochi added a nice Japanese touch 》A$13.90

Stacked cubes of buttery toast came dressed with pearls, fruits, pink mascarpone cream and red bean paste, finished with edible blooms plus matcha and chocolate crumbles. Vanilla ice cream sat on the side, while a drizzle of matcha sauce gave a distinctive flavour that cut through the sweetness. The whole plate looked impressive and definitely for the camera. A little sweet (it’s dessert), so it’s better to share but the sauce was a nice surprise that added depth to the dessert 》A$29

Squid ink pasta coated in marinara and chilli‑garlic paste, layered with cherry tomatoes, olives, onions and pickled ginger. A grilled king prawn and crisp soft shell crab gave the dish its standout seafood character, while the onsen egg melted through the pasta for richness. Tobiko added bursts of brine and shallots with chives tied the flavours together. Quite similar to the tom yum black pasta, just with a different sauce and overall a good fusion plate 》A$29

Squid ink pasta coated in tom yum sauce, layered over marinara for depth. A grilled king prawn sat on top, joined by a soft cooked egg yolk that melted into the pasta, adding richness against the spice. Tobiko gave bursts of brine while chilli oil added sharpness. Not as spicy as I thought but generally spicy food in Australia isn’t as fiery compared to Thailand or Singapore 》A$29

Didn’t expect a sorbet to turn out this good. Salted coconut gave a creamy base with a savoury edge, while mango lifted it with bright fruit sweetness. The scoop was smooth and fresh, balancing rich and refreshing without tipping too sweet. It’s also one of Messina’s better vegan sorbets. Perfect post meal treat and always better to try this from the country of origin to beat the crazy queue in SG 》A$6.90

Decided to add this on after being left unsatisfied with the pasta portion. The calamari were fresh, crisp and golden, with garlic aioli worth praising for its creamy richness. Fresh rocket added a peppery lift, cutting through the fried texture. Flavours were good but the wait for this dish was long as service felt slow, with mains being prioritised for other diners. Portion size again didn’t justify the price, leaving the overall value underwhelming 》A$28
