This is definitely a must go place! Absolutely loved what we had! We had initially come by on Saturday evening for dinner but it was so packed that we didn’t manage to get a table. Luckily we were able to have lunch on Sunday and got to try the amazing food! Highly recommend the food! Wonderful experience. Will definitely come again!
We went there for Sunday lunch with friends and ordered a mix of entrées and mains. The entrées weren’t particularly special, but they were tasty. The mains had unique flavors, not the usual ones you’d find everywhere, and we really enjoyed them. The highlight was definitely the mie goreng – the prawns were impressively large, fresh, and plentiful, leaving us all feeling full. My friends also enjoyed their meals. Parking is free within the food complex, though the closer spots are limited to 15 or 60 minutes. We parked a little farther away where there was no time restriction, which was still convenient. There was only one staff member serving the floor, but she was friendly and handled everything well. It seemed there might have been just one person in the kitchen too, so the food came out at slightly different times. By the time some of us got our dishes, others were nearly finished, which was the only downside. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was kind, and I’d be happy to go back again.
Had a quick lunch with my family. The menu had a variety of Malaysian classics, with prices ranging from $20 to $30 a reasonable for the generous portions and quality (I ordered Hokkien Noodles). The ambiance was beautiful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing family dinner. Definitely a place to return to when you’re craving a calm atmosphere and flavorful Malaysian cuisine.
The server was terrific and she had such patience with our table very quick to be seated and served. Food was great. Big portions and lots of flavor. We also had dessert. The brownie was delicious
I had a wonderful dinner at Rainforest Malaysian Kitchen. I ordered the nasi lemak with fried chicken, and it was amazing. The coconut flavor was on point, and the fried chicken was tender and crispy. The sambal sauce was spicy and sweet, and the anchovies and peanuts added a nice crunch. My partner ordered the laksa, and it was so flavorful and full of spices. The broth was thick and satisfying, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The chicken, tofu, and bean sprouts were fresh and tasty. We also ordered the chicken satay and peanut sauce, which brought me back to Malaysia. The chicken was so flavorful and moist, and the peanut sauce was creamy and nutty. The service was attentive and courteous, and the restaurant was warm and inviting. Rainforest Malaysian Kitchen is a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Malaysian cuisine.
Great food and good menu items. We enjoyed our lunch here. Thanks so much and wishing the team all the best.
I’ve been to Malaysia and have tasted some good Malaysian cuisine. This place took me back to that time. The food was so good I forgot to take a photo of the Nasi Lemak. Taught my partner how to put the ingredients together. Will definitely come back with my in laws.
Absolutely one of the best places we have ever eaten! The tapioca dessert was the star of the show for me, but we also loved the noodle seafood dish and the coconut curry. The food was just honestly amazing. The prices were really great, the ambiance was just lovely, and the service was quick and excellent! Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. I can't say enough good about it. We will be hoping to come back soon to New Zealand and will make it a point to come here again. I highly recommend many meals here.
Amazing little place…as always!!Exceptional food and cleanliness! Apart from the tasty food I’m in love with tidy, calming environment. My 7y old loves Laksa there :) Staff always pleasant and friendly. Def worth of trying!
