Situated within the CityLife church building itself, it might be easy to miss it. The noodles were simple yet tasted so heavenly good. The rice is drenched in this light soy flavoured sauce. The accompanying pork slices were soft and melts in your mouth. Plenty of seats inside and outside with a small playground on the side perfect for family meals out.

Homely, nostalgic and comforting food from a warm service crew :)
This place came highly recommended from a Facebook group and just to be sure we returned on two separate days to get a full experience. We went first on Easter Sunday and then the following Saturday. On both occasions, the service was sufficiently attentive and personable and the food quick and tasty.
We sampled the following dishes:
Nasi Lemak with ginger tumeric chicken
Nasi Lemak bungkus with chicken karaage
- coconut taste from the rice was subtle and not overpowering. The sambal was quite mild but perfect for Nasi Lemak, where the rice is basically a vehicle to eat more sambal. Both types of chicken were yummy and not dried out but the edge here goes to the fried chicken.
-peanuts and fish were satisfyingly salty and crisp.
-pickled veggies were also tangy and complemented the dish
Tau too fah with Gula Melaka
-smooth tau too fah here with Gula Melaka. Close enough to back home for us to buy 3.
Siew Pao with cha siu
-surprisingly this was extremely good. I would legitimately come back just for Siew Pao that's near me.
Teh Tarik
- when we saw the froth we instantly knew it was going to be good, then the classic hawker centre cup sealed the deal. Smooth teh, tea taste is strong enough and did not go nuts with the condensed milk.
Curry puff
Sardine puff
- have not yet eaten as we are stuffed. May update with edit.
Safe to say you won't be disappointed in whichever you choose. When the uncle asks you "teh Tarik you want sweet or less sweet?" You know it's authentic.
It's quite an interesting kopitiam vibe in a modern space.
Go give it a try when you can, order ahead to avoid disappointment!
Alright, missing home too much and went to this cafe/canteen to try their menu. Is our first time and found this simple canteen is inside the CityLife Church. Please make sure you get a table first as you need to provide table number before you queue to order. If you alone, is alright. Our usual norm, just use tissue or water bottle or Tupperware to chop your seat before you queue to order! (Haha!)
If you bring your kids along, don’t worry.
There’s a mini playground for them after the meal.
I personally love roti banjir, not too spicy. Just celup your roti into the yolk, heaps of curry and sambal before putting it into your mouth. Best maikkkk!
