I guess you can say these are TMC's piece de resistance. Flawless. But to be fair also, their cakes cost double those elsewhere, so...
Mind blown. This is why I visit Muslim restaurants - the portion. All our mains used huge plates. I chose kerabu rice over truffle fries. That's a steak below the masak merah sauce. Although there's variety and it's enjoyable, the fully cooked beef was normal, not far from beef you get at nasi padang haha.
Marinated in kicap chilli padi. When I pay for wings outside they gotta be better than homecooked ones. This was borderline.
Portion of their mains is huge can can be shared among family and friends.
What makes the Ramly burger nice has to be the Ramly sauce. However, the wagyu beef patty was overcooked this time which makes it dry.
The sambal goreng pengantin is a flavoursome plate of stir-fried linguine that is tossed with sambal goreng sauce, beef lungs. This dish is paired with big king prawns.
Crispy chicken wings coated with kecap manis sauce and sliced chilli padi. Every bite of the wings comes with sweet, salty and spicy flavours.
Best ondeh cake ever? Can't think of any better on my mind now.
This has certainly made me like ondeh ondeh as a cake.
The ambience here is very homely and the place feels very clean, neat and bright with natural sunlight.
The staff here very friendly and definitely makes me feel very welcome.
The ovaltine cake was quite good as well, but the ondeh ondeh cake just flipped the table on it. Plus the ondeh cake is cheapest of all the cakes avaliable.
Each slice of cake comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which compliments the cake well.
Excellent pastas, great cakes and spot-on service — there's not much left to be desired at The Malayan Council. You can count on the Lemak Padi Duck Pasta ($29) to blow you away with its umami smoked duck and creamy coconut broth. Save tummy space for the Classic Ondeh Ondeh Cake ($9.50). Every slice sports perfect layers of fluffy pandan sponge and pandan cream with gula Melaka bits!

Everything we order here is bombastically delicious. Fusion food traditional meets modern.
The menu looks costlly but the portion they gave is genorous. We order 3 cocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 mains and 2 deserts for 4 people. On top of that TMC genorouslly gave us complimentary sambal kicap buffalow wing 😱👍 and durian pengat cake 🥰. $163 for 4 people when it actually should be for 6 to 7 people. We tapau some of the food home. Thus price range is like $23 to $27 per pax to satisfy food cravings and fill the stomach to its peak.
TMC can be a weeklly or monthlly ocassion. Savoure the taste instead of filling the stomach. If accidentally order more than u can eat call me or call your friends. I am sure we will gladly finish up your food for you. 😊
Haven't had this for awhile & when I ordered it, it tastes exactly how I remembered it!
The Malayan Council's Ondeh Ondeh Cake is perhaps the most on point and similar to actual Ondeh ondeh. Every mouthful is filled with coconut shavings, soft Pandan sponge and sweet, thick, with crunchy bits of gula Melaka.
The perfect sweet ending to a meal!
The initial distaste at the overwhelming smell of truffle oil when we first entered the restaurant gave way to nods of approval once we tasted the dishes. The thick slices of smoked duck were supple and fatty, and the pasta perfectly al dente, but what impressed most was the well-balanced cream sauce spiked with a zing of chilli padi.
Taste: 3.5/5
Medium sized slice, quite a sticky, kueh-like finish. Good, but nothing outstanding, and really expensive
Really good. The sauce really was lemak despite looking somewhat thin. Coats the pasta very well and the duck was good too. Highly recommended, no matter your predisposition
Pretty good for a complimentary item, it's well coated with delicious kicap Manis with some heat coming from chili flakes. Wings were cooked well too
Barramundi dish was delish. Succulent flesh accompanied with a creamy potato mash. Potato mash was seasoned with something lemony to take away the oiliness of the fish.
Score: 8/10
Salmon dish was a let down. Sides were overdone and slightly dry. Skin was a little too salty for my liking. Potato mash that accompanied was a little stale. It kind of gave the feeling that the mash was plated slightly too early before the salmon was placed on the dish for serving. Too oily, will not re-order.
Score:5/10
Wild mushroom soup:
Not bad, but mushrooms in the soup seemed to have been placed in a blender and blended before being served. Truffle flavour mainly came from the the bread in the soup. Soup itself did not impress, have tasted better homemade mushroom soup elsewhere. Reminded me of baby food.
Score: 5/10.
Though food is just a mere pass, service left a lot to be desired.
Waited more than 1 hour before food came. Water only came after being seated for half an hour. And when food was served, it came in the wrong order.
Will I return? Perhaps, but only if you've plenty of patience and time to spare.
Went to The Malayan Council, the one near to ACS junior.
The first time I ordered this, the fish tasted a bit...un-fresh. I thought maybe the kitchen was having an off day but when I returned and tried it again, it tasted the same. This was a pity because the sauce was so good (my brother drank it up basically) and the ravioli was good too. Unfortunately the salmon is the star of the dish and it failed to live up to expectations
We ordered the soft shell crab rolls to share. I thought the batter tasted good but the crab itself wasn’t as fresh as I’d liked it to have been
I’ve been here twice and ordered the duck pasta both times. It is incredibly delicious and rich. If you don’t like spicy food, probably avoid this. I love spicy food but even I was reaching for my water after each bite. The sauce is smooth and full of flavour. It is big so share it unless you’re super hungry.
Ordered the highly raved Smoke Duck Linguine ($28) and very generous portion, recommended to share for two. Succulent pieces of smoke duck and I think this will suit those who love lemak cili padi but cannot take the spice as the taste is pretty watered down.
Cheesy Kupang ($15) was really delicious with huge and plenty of mussels thrown in. Had to mop all the deliciousness with bread, for an additional $5. Wish the bread was toasted instead of soft. Dish got too jelak at the end so recommended to share with at least 3!
The malayan wings ($14) was nice and crispy with kicap manis sauce. The salmon yakitori was on the house and this was nice as well with specks of cili padi and the sauce ( cuz it’s free also😅😂) Really good hospitality 👍
Last but not least, the most popular item here Ondeh-Ondeh Cake ($9.50) definitely did not disappoint with the taste staying true to the kueh itself. Eat with the vanilla ice cream at the side for a more cooling experience. Must try!!
Overall, have to say good food but even better service with free dish and a complimentary durian cake and $20 voucher with no minimum spending for our next return😱 Now this is how u get people to come back 💯
