Our first time dining at this restaurant, and what a pleasant surprise! The food was really delicious, and the serving staff were friendly. We ordered the Prawn Karabu, which had such a refreshing taste, and the Kari Kapitan, the chicken was very tender, not too spicy, and absolutely delicious. The Sambal Petai with lady fingers was also really good. To finish, we had the Nonya Chendol, Surprisingly Good. Must try! We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! Highly recommended! ❤️
Visited Tombok Tombok recently and their durian desserts were such a treat for durian lovers like us. We tried the Durian Crème Brûlée, Durian Glutinous Pengat, Durian Chendol, and Chendol Cheesecake, and every dessert highlighted the richness and fragrance of durian beautifully. The Durian Crème Brûlée was one of our favourites, smooth, creamy and fragrant with a nicely caramelised top that added a light crunch. The Durian Glutinous Pengat was comforting and satisfying, with soft glutinous rice paired with a luscious durian coconut sauce. If you enjoy something refreshing, the Durian Chendol is a great choice, creamy durian combined with shaved ice, gula melaka and chendol for a very satisfying dessert. The Chendol Cheesecake was also a pleasant surprise, combining the flavours of the classic local dessert with a rich, creamy cheesecake base. Overall, a great spot to indulge in durian desserts if you love the king of fruits.
Food here is generally good and all the gravy dishes were excellent to pair with rice. Gulai tumis (seabass in tamarind gravy) was good, fish meat was quite chunky and the vegetables soaked the gravy up so well. Ayam buah keluak had a really good buah keluak paste. It comes with only 2 shells of buah keluak though, so you may want to add on additional pieces. Beef rendang was pretty good as well, quite tender. Nonya chap chye was yummy, cooked till soft like how we like it. Prawn & mushroom ball soup is the peppery type, can skip imo. Kueh pie tee was decent and fun to assemble, but the filling is too peppery for me. We were too full to try the desserts but will definitely do so next time. Drinks wise, they have buah long long juice which was "gao" and nice. Service was friendly. Place is spacious. Better to make reservations though, as there was a huge group reservation on a Saturday night. Can use CDC vouchers.
