Okra Restaurant

Joanne Lung

Over the years I've been here with different friends half a dozen times. The food and service have been consistently good so I'm really glad to see it survived the Covid lockdowns of 2020. We arrived before opening time but the lady let us in to have a seat and gave us the menu anyway. My friends wanted Gado Gado with roti instead of rice. Roti costs more which is fine, but this could have been handled a little more gracefully instead of making a big fuss out of it. We also wanted a stir fried dish of okra which is on the dinner menu and they happily accommodated. I was craving for Laksa and my dish was filled to the brim with seafood. Full-bodied flavours, comforting and familiar, this hearty dish never fails to satisfy. My friends enjoyed their Gado Gado, which were enhanced by the Okra with Balachan. The male owner is forever chirpy and sociable with the customers, making the experience enjoyable. With a pleasant ambience, this place is good for a casual meal and revisiting the hawker dishes Malaysia is famous for.
