Summary:
This is a long established chain of  SE Asian Restaurants. The other one is on Robson (1128). However, according to my relative, the one on Cambie offers bigger portions at the same price.

This is the place to come if you want sate, chilli crab, nasi goreng etc.

The menu is classified by chilli strengths  and if they say that it’s hot (3 chillies), they mean it. Laksa has 2 versions or strengths – Singapore or curried.

On the day we went, we had chicken curry & rice and Singapore laksa with a side order of roti. The bill came to C$16 (£1=C$1.66). I rate this place as pretty good value for money.

If you can’t make it out here, try Melati (Great Windmill St, Soho, London) or Singapore Garden (Swiss Cottage, London). Both have been around for over 20 years.
