Another place found through Google Maps reviews, it was one of the options besides Friends Cafe HK 朋友冰室 during our visit to Springleaf. As expected, there was long queue in front of the Hong Kong Restaurant despite a rainy day. We immediately switched to Daruma Tavern which is just one street across.
The Bistro sells a variety food of Local, Western, Japanese, Thai, and Bar Snacks (such a talented chef!). Thanks to the overwhelming reviews, it was not difficult to decide on what to have.
We were very impressed by the thick Wok hey smell from their KL Dai Lok Mee ($7.9++). The KL Hokkien Mee totally blew us away with its smoky char wok hey aroma and punchy sweetness. No exaggeration, probably one of the best I’ve ever had.
One thing to be mentioned is that there is service charge despite not much service (even the order and payment was through QR code). Overall the pricing is still reasonable considering the dish ingredients and dine-in atmosphere.
