Malaysian food isn't something I eat too frequently these days, but it does bring back quite a bit of nostalgia. As my mum's favourite cuisine, I ate my fair share growing up, and now having it for dinner does bring back a few memories of childhood. That's why I was quite excited to sample a few of the dishes when I was invited to try the options at Mr Tall, who had recently opened a new branch at Sunnybank Plaza.
Although it was located in a food court, their menu didn't detract from their Sunnybank Hills store too much. All the favourites were there.
Starting with a few drinks, we had the calamansi, wheatgrass, barley and wintermelon drink. These were fairly refreshing. Being pre made meant it had a fixed sugar ratio. Although it was a bit on the sweeter side for my tastes, it would probably be a lighter touch to mainstream preferences.
Our food didn't take too long to arrive after ordering.
One of our friends had the pork offal soup. This was generous in portion with a good ratio of toppings to noodles. The offals were well cleaned and didn't have any weird smells to it. The noodles were tender.
Dr L had a beef brisket noodle soup. It didn't look like much but there were quite a few pieces of tender, soy infused beef brisket hiding under the surface of the soup, and an ample amount of bouncy egg noodles. Sampling some for myself, it was fairly tasty. Probably on par with the offerings at Sunnybank Oriental around the corner.
Another friend had the chilli pan mee. It was quite a huge bowl and very satisfying.
I had a portion of hainan chicken rice. The chicken was poached well, not being undercooked but with a silky smooth texture. I only wish there was more. The bowl of rice was fairly large and had considerable chicken and ginger flavours infused into it. The broth on the side was warming but light. All round it made for a very satisfying meal, one I would gladly return to.
Espresso and Matcha were invited guests of Mr Tall, but as always, our opinions are solely our own.
