Their Plain Prata Samyang ($4.50) is their most popular dish. It stars fiery samyang noodles enveloped in a thin and soft prata. You can also choose to add Mozzarella Cheese or Nacho Cheese at $1 extra to help ease the spiciness.

If that’s not enough spice, another popular pick is the Lemak Chili Api Crispy Chic Burger ($6.50), a dish that’s inspired by a popular Malay dish: ayam masak cili padi. The dish features chicken cooked in a spicy, turmeric-infused coconut gravy.
