There are a few branches in Sydney of this Malaysian Hawker food chain and you would think that they are all fairly similar. wrong! Ive been to the city and the kingsford restaurant, and while the city store is still pretty good, it is not as good as the kingsford branch. Either way, its still offers good, solid authentic malay hawker food and yes, still well worth a visit.

I've been to Petaling Street a several times before, both alone and with friends. Generous portions, good flavours. The Marmite Chicken Ribs, the Yong Tau Foo, the pipis, fried fish noodle soup etc etc - yummy. Service is rather lacking at times. The menu selection is varied – suitable for the most choosy of customers.
Would return to try other offerings on the menu.

This is a busy restaurant. Very cramped for space upstairs, but downstairs there is more room (toilet is also downstairs). We were seated very quickly. There are a lot of options on the menu and I got very confused (it took me a while to select). After a while, I selected this rice noodle soup with a side of chicken breast. The chicken had coriander and some sauces (one was pesto-like and the other was chilli). The soup was nice and light, but it didn't have as much flavour as I hoped. Chicken breast was very moist. Service wasn't anything special and you had to get your own cutlery from these containers, which could be on another person's table (it was a little awkward). But overall, a nice dining experience.

Came here for a late lunch with friends recently.. seated downstairs, with lots of seating available. We shared the satay chicken skewers , chicken curry laksa and some roti kaya(bread). The food took a lil while to come out but once it did , it was delicious, esp,.the chicken skewers! The servings are very generous and price reasonable. Great place for lunch!

Approximate cost: $7 +

Came here with a couple of friends after 2pm so there was room downstairs. We had the fruit rojak which was good even though there was too much sauce; char kway teow with prawns & Chinese sausage which was tasty; stewed pork leg with rice that I found soft & tasty but a bit salty; mata kuching drink that was quite watered down and ice kachang as dessert which was quite good but didn't have all the ingredients like the authentic one does. Prices are reasonable and service was ok.

Giving this four stars overall because of the authenticity of the food and the beautiful subtle flavours. I had the nasi lemak which was rice cooked in coconut milk seved with chilli sambal, peanuts, egg, cucumber and little salty fish. Did not like the little fishy bits but I think they are a local favourite. I just left them on the side. The rice was beautiful, subtley sweetened by the coconut milk and then the crunch of the peanuts and the spicy sambal cooled by the cucumber - it all combined so well and you can also have it served with curried chicken or beef for a few dollars more. Will try that next time as I think it would be superb - saw the curry on some other plates and it looked divine. Nasi Lemak was 8.00 it is about 11.00 with a curry

had the char kuey tiao - not very good as it is not as spicy or flavorful as i hoped, nasi lemak - the rice is definitely more fragrant than Mamak, although the sambal and beef is so-so, asam laksa - pretty good, sambal fish - VERY good value for money as it was only AUD14.80 for quite a big fish. the service is so so but as there is a wide variety of foods and they are not too pricey, i will definitely visit this restaurant sometime in the future!
