This place is in Niddrie and its where the old Noodle Box used to be. This place opened a few days ago and for a New Years Eve lunch we went there. My housemate saw it in the area and decided to go in.
It is part Malaysian- part Chinese. For a New Years Eve lunch there wasn't a lot of people there. I would have thought more since they wanted to find out about the place. It was clean and I loved seeing the flowers.
Here we ordered the Char Kuey Teow ($12.90) and the Hainan Chicken ($12.90) to share. The Hainan chicken was overcooked and was without the bones. The picture suggested plump chicken pieces but this was without. The rice was nice and there was subtle coconut flavour. But it was too much for one person. Normally at Mabrown and other places in the city I would have got the chicken with the ginger sauce and sambal. No such luck here, although I must admit that I did like the sambal. This was good but not as good as Mabrown's version.
The Char Kuey had a lot of wok hei to it but it was a small plate. Usually in the city I get a bigger plate for that price. I liked the seafood to it and there was not a lot of meat. Moreover the noodles were a little soggy and slippery.
I don't know about returning but lets see what Escort and Thief, Eat and be merry, Sweet and Sour fork and Consider the Sauce think of this place. As for service it was just ok.
