Overview
Where should I start? Another Malaysian Restaurant in Perth with a slight high end pricing for
serving typical southern Malaysian dishes and desserts.
About 20 mins from the city centre. I am from Freo, so it took me 35mins via Canning Highway.
A local friend here told me that a few Malaysian celebrities
frequent this place, Zahirah McWilson, Zul Ariffin and their very own Prime Minister, Mr Najib Tun Razak.
Service & Ambiance
My first impression when I drove pass the restaurant to park (opposite att IGA) I was suprised
to see that it was actually a nice restaurant by the exterior looks of it.
I believe the place was formally a cafe and the owner took it over,
but added some of his own personal touch onto it.
It was really nice and I liked it, it's like having your normal Malay dishes in a 5 star hotel! Perhaps one
of the few Malay Restaurant places here in Perth that I like (interior decor wise) Thumbs up to that.
Service was great and efficient, the waiter came around twice in 5mins asking if we are ready to order our food. I think that's
great giving that this is a proper restaurant and therefore should provide great service.
However not all is perfect, and being a 1.8m person I have legroom issues. That single sized table have to go.
Ergonomical wise, it's terrible. You would have little legroom and your knees would be in a V-position with constantly hitting onto
the metal legs and support. To eat well is to seat well.
To avoid that, we moved to a round table with better legroom.

Food
So I was there with 4 of my other mates (It's Aussie ya' know... Mate!) and I had ordered the Mee Rebus Johor. (Yes.. Datang Restaurant makan Mee Rebus!)
The others had Nasi Ayam.
As usual, to be fair, I shall only comment on what I had which brings us to the Mee Rebus Johor. My first thought was, "Hey.. This is contentious you know, S'pore had
our Mee Rebus as well and we did not call it Mee Rebus S'pore" and so I thought it would taste same.
But, my instinct told me to try it as Mee Rebus is a dish that varies from place to place and there are no standard gauge on what goes in it.
Well our food got delivered 10 mins later, which is reasonably fast and so all the cameras came out snapping away!
My Mee Rebus... First impression - Oily. Extremely oily with at least half an inch of cooking oil covering the dish. And so I went to ask for a small bowl
in order for me to syphon whatever oil I could with my spoon.

Now. The makan part. This Mee Rebus are not the typical ones I had back in S'pore.
The "kuah" or stew whatever you call it, taste different. It's a bit soupy, not thick as thick as it normally was. They had beef slices, fried tofu, 2 halves
hard boiled eggs and the usual condiments.
The serving portion was generous as well for a Mee Rebus priced at AUD $16.50.
I quite liked the Mee Rebus as it kind of took me by suprised on how it taste like. Something new and if you're keen you should try it too and perhaps tell the Abang
to lessen the oil.
