Decor & Concept<\/strong><\/td>\n\"Legendary<\/a> After 5 outlets in China, the restaurant is an exact mold of cha chaan tng<\/em> in Hong Kong, including the narrow space between tables. It really has a feel of Hong Kong! The restaurant even plays Cantonese songs.\"\u6e2f\u996e\u6e2f\u98df<\/a> It’s a 4-in-1 concept with more than 300 dishes: roasted meats<\/strong>\u00a0\u4e5d\u5982\u70e7\u814a, noodles and congee<\/strong> \u9999\u6e2f\u7ca5\u9762, dim sum<\/strong> \u9f99\u51e4\u8336\u5c45, and toast, instant noodles and drinks<\/strong> \u767d\u5bab\u51b0\u5ba4.8 chefs are invited from Hong Kong, each specializing in their field, like Chef Siu Chin Ho<\/strong>\u00a0from Yung Kee, a famed HK roasted meat restaurant; and\u00a0Chef Ho Yum\u00a0<\/strong>from one michelin-starred<\/strong> noodles restaurant, MAK’s Noodles.<\/td>\n\"Malaysia<\/a> Malaysia Boleh means “Malaysia can do it.” My Ipoh friend said, “What a stupid name. But the food is quite nice.”\"Malaysia<\/a> It is a food court<\/strong> that brings in some of Malaysia’s most famous street food. The two owners went to each and every stall in Malaysia to apprentice day and night to master the dishes. They promised they wouldn\u2019t reveal the recipes to others and not to set up shops in Malaysia. Every few months, the original Malaysian stall owners would come to Singapore to audit the food.The design<\/strong> of the food court is like 60s Singapore, complete with songs from the 60s! Very awesome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food<\/strong><\/td>\n\"Legendary<\/a>My favorite was\u00a0roasted London duck<\/strong> ($14.80 portion\/ $30 half\/ $58 whole\/ roasted duck rice $7.80). Imported from Ireland, all ducks are handled by hand, not machines, so that they are not bruised. They are fed on a natural diet, no GMO food, and thus, have lesser saturated fat than other ducks. Tastewise, it was extremely fat, but didn’t feel\u00a0jerlat<\/em>.\"Legendary<\/a> Another great dish was\u00a0braised beef brisket and tendon in clay pot<\/strong> ($12.80). The tendon was smooth, and jelly-like, but not slimy.\"Legendary<\/a>\u00a0Wonton in the\u00a0wonton soup noodle\u00a0<\/strong>($6.80) is\u00a0made from solely\u00a0prawns, no pork, but had a mysterious, complex, umami lardy taste. Like HK noodles,\u00a0this one\u00a0had an alkaline taste. A trick Hongkongers use is to dip the noodles in red vinegar, like tsukemen dipping ramen, and wash away the alkaline. If you’ve no stomach space, you can stop at the three above-mentioned dishes, although others were not bad.\u00a0\"Legendary<\/a> Another trick was\u00a0to poke holes with a fork in\u00a0Hong Kong Toast<\/strong> ($2.50), so the butter melted through. The toast<\/strong>, dim sum<\/strong>, and\u00a0congee<\/strong> of 3 types of grains, including a Japanese short-grain, passed muster.\"Legendary<\/a> I’ve been eating clean, but one guilty pleasure is Nissin instant noodles<\/b> ($5.20), imported from Hong Kong, which tasted lighter and more refreshing than Singapore’s. I am a cheapskate, and would NEVER order instant noodles in a restaurant. I can cook at home what. But this one, I will order.<\/td>\n\"Malaysia<\/a>Ipoh Boy and I ranked\u00a0KL Hokkien mee \u82cf\u4e39\u8857\u70b3\u54e5\u798f\u5efa\u9762<\/strong>\u00a0($4.60\/$6) as our #1 favorite in the food court. It came thick, black, and very, very lardy and greasy–we loved it! The saying is true: once you go black, you’ll never go back.<\/span><\/span>\"Malaysia<\/a> My second choice was\u00a0KL Wanton Mee \u5409\u9686\u5761\u9f0e\u8a18\u4e91\u541e\u9762<\/strong>\u00a0($3.50), but Ipoh Boy complained it was no longer authentic. It wasn’t the salty Malaysian style, but a Singapore sweet style, with honey. Hey, I’m Singaporean so I loved it. The noodles were very springy and tasty.<\/span>\"Malaysia<\/a> Ipoh Boy’s second choice was a light Hong Kee Pork Noodles \u96c4\u8bb0\u732a\u8089\u7c89\u9762\u00a0<\/strong>($3.50), and satisfied his homesickness. But this was bland to my Singaporean tastebud.\u00a0<\/span>\"Malaysia<\/a> These dishes were ok:\u00a0Malaysia-styled\u00a0Klang Bak Kut Teh \u5df4\u751f\u8089\u9aa8\u8336\u00a0<\/strong>($5+$0.50 rice) herbal, not the peppery Singapore style;\u00a0Penang Jalan Cheong Fatt Tze prawn soup noodles\u00a0\u69df\u57ce\u798f\u5efa\u867e\u9762<\/strong>\u00a0($3.50\/$5);\u00a0min zhang kueh<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0\u69df\u57ce\u65b0\u5173\u5b50\u89d2\u4e9a\u699c Apom<\/strong>, a thin, wafer version;\u00a0nian gao<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0\u534e\u4ed4\u4e09\u5408\u4e00\u62db\u724c\u5e74\u7cd5.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\"Malaysia<\/a> The\u00a0\u52c7\u8bb0\u69df\u57ce\u7092\u679c\u6761 char kway tiao<\/strong>\u00a0($4\/$6) had a long queue all the time, as the hardworking hawker fries 3-4 portions at a time. My heart ached for the man, no rest at all. But it wasn’t worth queuing.\u00a0It was Malaysian style, a slight saltiness, a slight spiciness, but otherwise rather tasteless. So if you don’t feel like char kway tiao that day, don’t queue. It’s NOT\u00a0a must eat.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Drinks & Desserts<\/strong><\/td>\nNo\u00a0desserts yet, but try the\u00a0iced HK style tea & coffee mix<\/strong> \u9e33\u9e2f ($2.80), imported from Hong Kong. The shifu<\/em>\u00a0Lo Chi Man<\/b>\u00a0has 19 years of experience just to handle drinks alone! The drink was<\/span>\u00a0very smooth, not at all bitter, a beautiful\u00a0mix, not the least jarring.<\/td>\n\"Malaysia<\/a> MUST ORDER<\/strong>: Best dish in the food court.\u00a0The\u00a0Penang Road Famous Chendol<\/strong>\u00a0($2) was simple and simply the best in Singapore. Creamy, with a tinge of sweetest gula melaka. We had it both times we were there.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pros (+) & Cons (-)<\/strong><\/td>\n(-) Long queues
\n(+) No need to take airplane to Hong Kong
\n(+) Reasonable prices<\/td>\n		(-) Crowded
\n(+) Had a kampong feel, and the food was truly satisfying.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/td>\n\u00a0It’s legend…wait for it…dary! I predict this will have branches all over Singapore. This is a million times better than *cough* Xin Wa.. *cough*.<\/td>\n\u00a0Yes, Malaysia boleh! Makes me wanna\u00a0visit the original stalls in Malaysia.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
