MSW puree was pretty sick but there wasn't too much of it at all. Otherwise it's a decent bowl of chendol, each component was passable but none really stunned in particular. Kidney beans were not bad. There's a lot of gula melaka at the bottom and it's very sweet so make sure u don't stir it
What an interesting apom, it's nothing like the normal apom (visually obviously but taste wise as well). The texture is akin to some kuehs instead. It's soft yet has a slight bite, and comes w slight mochi-esque bounce. Not to mention it comes slightly crispy(completely annihilated by the pengat though)
The pengats were fine but felt too restaurant-styled, even though it's intense enough it doesn't have that sinfulness lol. Still pretty decent overall, but really pricey.
Another great one. It wasnt out of the usual league like their bakwan kepiting or prawn chili garam, simply because many places make a mean one as well, but this was superb execution.
There's an acidity in the sauce that forms a large component in the overall taste profile, but blends well with the buah keluak. You can smell it yet it's not too overwhelming when you're eating it. Fantastically adjusted so that people who are new to it can appreciate and those who love the taste are satisfied too. obviously the chicken is tender(we had 2 drumsticks and 1 thigh)
The nut though, that's something else. I think it's my second time trying it? And this is by far the more intense one. For people who love the taste only, there's quite a hint of chocolate and a tad of fermentation aroma
The prawns were not bad but the killer element is the chili. So humbly fragrant, giving off a mild sweetness and some fruitiness as you chew, while still remaining clearly savoury. My girl was utterly impressed
Price is abit sick for the portion but haishhhhh, soup's not in the league of any other version I've tasted. The meatball was okay and full of seafood, but the well-balanced, umami soup is where it's at. Add on elegantly fried garlic and it's a real test of selflessness, especially considering the portion
PSA The ala carte order comes with crabmeat automatically, unlike the set lunch
Obviously it a lot more stuffed than the normal popiahs, and there's quite a few more ingredients inside, which changes the flavour. It's quite different from the norm, but not necessarily that much better. Understand that you're paying for the seafood, not necessarily a superior product overall, even tho it's quite disparate in taste
Unfortunately, there were crab shells in this. They promised to be more careful next time tho
