A supposed gem in Far East Plaza, thus the high expectation prior to visiting, but I am not gonna lie that it turned out to be a disappointment for me instead.

The portion was reasonable and I liked how the batter was crispy and not too oily. But the pieces of meat were thin, and unfulfilling. There was a hollow feeling with each bite instead. The salted egg gravy too was disappointing, as it was too watery and diluted, lacking volume and depth. I could understand if a salted egg sauce isn't too creamy because sometimes creaminess of this strong flavour can lead to jelak-ness, but it shouldn't be diluted. The salted egg gravy could have been more intense.

But they were generous in curry leaves, a first I have seen in this dish with so many curry leaves. Perhaps some chili padi could be added to spice up a lil.
