The Mog Champ sends his regards. First time dining at Ipoh town here, I work quite close to this restaurant and always see it lined up or at max capacity. It feels like a food court more than a restaurant. The menu is compact and simple. I ordered their Hainanese Chicken Rice which is a classic Malaysian dish. It was great however in my opinion the chicken was a little dry compared to other places I've had. Their service was fast and the tables take time to clean since customers need to fight for a seating if they decide to dine in. I'd be interested in trying their laksa or noodles next time since it's at an affordable pricing too. Thanks for the food Ipoh! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ

Fantastic, if you don’t know what Malaysian food is supposed to taste like. Disappointing if you want a taste of home. Service doesn’t exist. A blank faced tired looking staff takes your order. Rings a bell or calls you back to the counter to collect your own food. Shouldn’t have believed all the instagram hype.

Ordered the Signature Chicken Laksa, Roti Canai with Chicken Curry, and Spring Roll. Food is great, friendly staff, and simple hawker atmosphere. The portion of the Roti Canai is quite small but fair enough for the price. Location is great as it is close to CBD/QVB and Barangaroo. Would recommend for a good Malaysian/Singaporean food fix! ??

this is just boiled chicken with rice for $16, and it doesn’t even include the skin. The point of hainan chicken rice is the silky skin. The type of place you’d eat at if you were forced to in an airport. As a Malaysian this is insulting to my culture. I felt sad after eating this.

halal. ordered nasi lemak with beef rendang, char koay teow and spring rolls. spring rolls were too oily, oil was dripping onto my fingers as i bit into them. i liked the crackers that came with the nasi lemak, and the toppings were quite generous. the char koay teow was a bit bland for my taste but they do have sambal at the counter that you can just take yourself. i would say its average and okay if you miss malaysian food.

I came into your shop just out of curiosity passing by. And for clarity in this review the photo with the red bowl is the Kai Si Hor Fun from your shop at York, while the one in white bowl is from a typical Kai Si Hor Fun stall in Malaysia. I don't mean to be rude or nasty, but you should really go back to the drawing board on how to cook this dish properly. For one the broth is the most important component and it should be cloudy and taste silky, packed with wholesome goodness after boiling hours with chicken bones and prawn shells - definitely not the clear soup seen in your dish. Splashing a few squirts of prawn oil does not make turn it into a Kai Si Hor Fun soup unfortunately Secondly, the other crucial ingredient is the protein, which should be prepared from fresh chicken meat preferably with skin on, and not something from the deep freezer that tastes like a few months being frozen. Breast meat is fine but with breast meat it is even more crucial you use fresh ones Thirdly, the noodle ohhhhh the noodles.... You got to use the real stuff which is thin, smooth and silky and definitely not alternatives from Vietnam or Thailand which are thicker and less silky. The right Hor Fun should be thin and soft enough that it can just slide effortlessly from your mouth into your tummy I understand that it may be a challenge to procure the right authentic ingredients in a guailow country, but I am sure you can do it if you put your mind and heart to it. Can't you get fresh chickens in Sydney? Making a good homely Kai Si Hor Fun is not rocket science, it just needs some careful thoughts, and lots of love in the preparation. All the best from a Malaysian.

Food was really good and cheap for the city. Staff attitude could improve cause the cashier looked very annoyed when people order food.
