C & R Restaurant (Chinatown)

• A large bowl is placed in front of you
• Where there is a 'correct' taste to these dishes
• It was the authenticity of the vibrant Malaysian flavours which I was eager to judge during my dining experience at C&
• The portions are exceptionally huge for some reason
• 6.50 on my mountain of mee siam which is SG$3.50 (£
• My mum makes the best mee siam in the world
• This is the original 'dry' version which is truly Malaysian
• These noodles were surprisingly spicy for my standards
• Were tasty enough with a fragrance of bean paste
• Char kway teow is also another extremely popular dish of Malaysia and Singapore
• ' This dish was actually of the average Singaporean standard
• The usual Malaysian suspects are on the menu such as the Nasi Lemak
• The firm favourite has to be Kampung style Nasi Goreng which is a form of spicy fried rice with chicken and prawns definitely amongst my top 5 yummiest things I have ever eaten
• It is even better when you wash it down with the litchi drink
• The main reason would be because it is yummy for the tummy with value for money
• The ambience is quite plain
• The Gado Gado is not what I remember and is a mistake
• Crisp and chewy and soft with the tangy curry going with it so beautifully
• The restaurant set up is a little odd
• The second a room with a fridge and a few tables where we are unceremoniously dumped along with another table of confused punters
• I shall demand to be seated in the more fun spot and look around to see what looks good to avoid being stuck with another Gado gado watery disaster
• Scared by the griddle with it brown spots
• Tearing and dipping it into the curry that comes with the dish is a match made in heaven
• My favourite dish there is their creamy
• Nutty and spicy nasi lemak but you can't go wrong with their laksa
• Just get there early as they are really popular now
• It gets away with its amazing milo
• An authentic Malaysian restaurant with 3 main branches to dine at
• The roti canai is the best dish i have had here
• The portions are decent with decent prices
• The place is quite popular and there is no recognizable difference among its branches
• The real Malaysian fried noodles were hard to find anywhere in the city
• The food that is being served here is full of authenticity and that is what I like in a cafe
• The portions of the food was also very reasonable and we were quite full after our meal
• The service was good and the waiters were helpful too
• I will surely come here again because it is very close to where I live
• The place is alright but the food lacked flavour and was just bland
• The Lobster and Crab dishes are my favourites and the desserts are great as well
• We had noodles which were very well prepared and presented
• The prawns we had were disgusting
• The other dishes that we had were also of very poor quality and those that we had contained the wrong ingredients
• I was pretty disappointed with the decision to go there
• The must haves here are the Wat Tan Ho among a few others
• The food here is delicious and the portions they serve are big as well
• C & R Restaurant (Chinatown) is very friendly according to me I do not know why people are giving negative reviews
• The portions of the dishes are also very filling and the staff is also good
• I would not say great but they were good enough
• Everything was disastrous at the restaurant
• The manager was roaming around with a tooth pick in his mouth
• The dishes are over priced
• We hardly ate anything but were still asked to pay
• The staff was very rude and the service was lacking on many occasions
• The beer was served was very warm and overall
• We chose to order from the set menu and it was quite a delight
• As the menu was so extensive
• The food however was delicious and the service was quite efficient
• I found out there was tofu thrown around in the dish so that it looks bigger in size
• A decent Indian restaurant with good food and decent prices
• The service lacks as it is both slow and the servers could be more friendly
• We had tried a mix from snacks and the curries which were both decent
• The prices are decent and the portions are more than generous so in all
• Service post renovation was slow and indifferent
• Being a Friday evening it was overcrowded with mixed up orders and quarreling among staff as to who got what went wrong
• I searched up for a Malaysian restaurant on Trip Advisor while on my trip to Europe because I was craving Malaysian food and found this cafe
• The food offered was plain mediocre and the service was lousy and offhand
• The ambiance of the place didn't excite me either and it was overall a bad experience to visit C & R Restaurant (Chinatown)
• It was absolutely packed and the table that I got was in the last
• I had laksa and beef both of which were perfectly prepared and presented
• The service here is mostly chaotic and always seems rushed through
• The overall experience was highly disappointing
• A feature of the restaurant design was the closeness of the tables which allows you to talk to your neighbors which only enriches the experience
• The place has no frills but that is to be expected since it's only a cafe and a good one at that
• The place offers traditional Malaysian food and is a great place to curb my Malaysian food cravings
• The food here is impeccable and very well prepared
• All the dishes are authentic and packed with a lot of flavor
• The portions are also big enough and will suffice your hunger
• The drinks here are also authentic but not as per everyone's liking
• The only lag is that the place is a bit overpriced
• The Singapore Laksa that we had ordered was quite good and I enjoyed it but Roti Chanai was pan fried and was glistening with oil
• The portions are huge but they do charge a hefty amount for it too
• All the dishes that we ordered were well prepared and well presented
• All the dishes are cooked perfectly and are very flavorful
• I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a great Chinese meal and a good time with friends and family
• I was really looking forward to having some good food and went into this restaurant as it looked popular with the local students
• The laksa here is so flawless and flavorful
• The bakuteh is so warm and wonderful on a cold fall day
• It offers the best comfort food ever
• Wash it down with a nice Teh Tarik
• I am a big fan of Malaysian food and was glad to have found this restaurant in London
• Everything was freshly prepared though
• I never tried this dish before but upon my arrival i was told that thisis a very good dish so I had to try it and they were pretty right too
• I had heavily spiced beef and it was also amazing and same goes for all the other dishes that we ordered
• I ordered the char keoy teow and it was absolutely relishing
• The nasi goreng was pretty amazing too
• The main dishes cost very economical and they are enormous in proportion
• Came in for a speedy dinner on the way home from Heathrow as we were craving some Malaysian food
• The service was no frills but efficient
• Nasi lemak is one of my favourite dishes
• I thought the sambal had a great level of spiciness and sweetness which went perfectly with the crisp ikan bilis
• The only let down was the chicken curry
• The flavour was good and the beef was tender
• I thought the roti canai was a little anaemic and while there was a good flakiness to it
• I'd be happy to pop in again all three dishes with a beer and jasmine tea came in at under £
• An ultra satisfying chakuayteow and watanhor fix in London (washed down with a mug of Milo)
• R Cafe restaurant in China Town is one of the few Malaysian &
• The establishment is visually basic in appearance yet clean
• The prominent dish depicted in the picture is called 'Roti Canai'
• Two Malaysian bread (pancake) with curry sauce
• R restaurant was truly a diamond in the rough
• It also helps that its prices are very affordable
• I have come here with my Bruneian friends and half Malaysian friend
• All of whom reported the dishes were pretty authentic in flavour
• Both make good Nasi Goreng though Rasa Sayang is slightly more hygienic
• Service is ok and ambiance is not the best
• The spicy version of nasi goreng is very good too
• So far my favourite dish are singaporean laksa &
• The regional gastronomic scene is one to excite palates and bellies on a global scale
• R Cafe in Chinatown is close enough to take one back to the land of big
• Secondly the sambal (that patch of dark red curry on the upper right side of the dish) is overly sweet
• Cantonese Noodles is even worst
• I surely need to pour a whole pot of soy sauce and have it with chilli to be able to deal with this plate of noodle
• The only thing I've figured is it's probably instant BKT pack which I can purchase off Asian grocers and have it cooked at home
• Though I would say this is probably the best out of the rest
• Try it once it is no difference from instant packets
• Sorry to say none of the dishes I've tried is on the average level
• It seems I was destined to be only moderately satisfied with our order of hainanese chicken rice
• The roti canai was quite nice and is usually a safe bet
• The chicken noodles were bland and dry and not really worth our time
• I was hoping for an authentic and enjoyable chicken rice and it was presented nicely
• Was not exactly a hit as everything about it was just alright the rice was a bit mushy
• The red sauce too sweet and there was no green sauce
• The service was fine and typical of such a restaurant
• The layout inside was quite cluttered and very noisy
• To the point that hearing yourself was at times difficult
• I was in London with my two friends and I made an research and find this restaurant really interesting
• We didn't know what choose and they told us which dishes are the most popular
• Singapore Laksa this soup is very very big
• Generally the soup is great all fishes
• Shrimps and vegetables were very fresh and it was delicious
• R Chilli Chicken it was a chicken with sweet and chilli sauce with rice and it was really really tasty
• The one thing which was weird was a tomato in this dish
• Because i think it just don't go with pepper and onion
• Char Kway Teow it was a little bit like Pad Thai and I like it but for me there was lackness of some freshness like lemon
• Lettuce and pieces of chicken with sauce Teryiaki from the bottle
• I think this restaurant is worth to go there and try their menu
• The service is fast but the place is nothing special
• Great food with amazing flavours
• I had the nasi lemak which is a Malaysian traditional dish and totally loved it
• Chilli prawns with okra and nasi gorenj
• The highlight of the meal was definitely the nasi lemak and the Malaysian tea and coffee here
• R restaurant is probably one of my best discoveries for Malaysian food and hands down one of my favourite restaurants in London
• Needless to say he was quite the sceptic
• Charged our card more than was on the bill
• A trip to this restaurant is a certain disappointment
