Walaku (Joo Chiat)

Mangolicious @ $9.80+

Was a bit surprised to see the mango slice on the side. Overall a nice drink especially on a hot day.

Lemak chilli api crab pasta @ $16+

Overall this seems a bit ordinary but still tasty and not bad. Soft shell crab a bit on the salty side. Comes with prawns and some sotong.

Smoked duck laksa @ $12+

Fusion laksa that contains usual laksa broth + linguine pasta + smoked duck. The broth is flavourful and creamy, while the pasta is nicely cooked. However we felt that the smoked duck didn't quite value-add to the dish.

Also comes with taupok, cucumbers, taugay and egg.

Star of the dish is the chilli which is spicy and sweet and brings the broth to a whole new level.

Light, fluffy & flavourful fried rice with chopped long beans, spring onion, eggs & beansprouts in it. Sides with flavoursome grilled chicken topped with percik sauce & torch ginger bud. Comes with half a salted egg, mini mango salad & a small pack of colourful crispy keropok; then, a small dose of spicy sambal is added.😍
The taste of the fried rice somehow resembles the one I had on board the KTM train. The smell of it is so similar. Specking of train, I miss travelling on a train where you get to enjoy the forest and Kampung view, the small & cosy bed to sleep in and the extraordinary long hours of rockiness from the train.🚉😴
As for the chicken, it was well-marinated with spice, dry but tender, huge and grilled perfectly. Makes me eat till suck the bone.😅
The creamy coconutty percik sauce seems kind of little compared to their picture from their website.😕 The touch of torch ginger bud helps to heighten the flavour and open the appetite.
Mango salad was appetising, keropok given were quite a lot, the picture above is only like near to 1/2 a pack, and the sambal is lit.😋

Just admire at that gleaming glorious thick black piece of martabak manis!🖤🖤🖤
It's so beautiful and classy. Indeed, befitting to be called as Black Royal.🖤👑
Super big lah the pancake. You might have thought this thickness might cause jelak-ness, but I can say it's not. It had a well distribution of grated cheese melted within, sweet chocolate rice and spam of peanuts. Not that sinful as everything is in a moderate ratio but it still deliver great results. Great for those who prefer less sweet.😃

Salted egg shimeiji mushrooms @ $12
Salted caramel drink @ $9.80
Peanut Butter drink @ $9.80

Came by for some snacks during tea time on a weekday and it's quite empty! The salted egg shimeiji mushrooms are great and not too gelak for 2 to share. And the beverages are very creamy and yummy too!

Quite a small and cosy place which can fill up quite easily, so gonna make plans to come back during off peak hours for their nasi lemak and murtabak next time!
