PappaRam is starting to get noticed so we decided to give it a try after hearing great reviews. Looking from outside, one might say that the space is a bit small/crowded but good thing outdoor seating is available. It's not along the streets, okay? You need to get inside to get outside. Haha!

We were a bit puzzled with the menu. Good thing the server, who's very funny btw, is accommodating and patient to our inquires regarding the food.

My family and I decided to try the 3 types of rice that they offer aside from the usual steam rice.

1. Coconut rice
2. Hainanese fried rice
3. Malaysian (something) rice

We also tried some of their ala carte dishes that are all good for sharing.

1. Malaysian chicken curry - has a touch of spice. So good!!!
2. Kacang buncis goreng - baby french bean with garlic and shrimp paste
3. Cereal butter tiger prawns - superb!
4. Tofu. I just forgot what it was called in the menu

For drinks, I recommend their mango banana smoothie and fresh apple juice!

They also have rice meals and unlimited rice and soup as well.

Verdict:

Price is worth it! Their ala carte dishes range from 250 up. The food is great, the spices were awesome! Really delicious.

Recommended! And I am coming back soon.
