Baba Wins' is a small, unassuming restaurant that is hidden at a small corner in the shopping mall, The Star Vista. I was pleasantly surprised by its good food and sincere service. Here is what we ordered: Chinchalok Omelette - $8: Seriously, if you ask me to eat chinchalok alone, I'd rather die than eat it because I find the taste pretty weird. I was very skeptical on how this dish will turn out as previously I already had a phobia of the chinchalok smell and taste. However, this dish turn out
Chinchalok Omelette - $8: Seriously, if you ask me to eat chinchalok alone, I'd rather die than eat it because I find the taste pretty weird. I was very skeptical on how this dish will turn out as previously I already had a phobia of the chinchalok smell and taste. However, this dish turn out pretty well and I quite like it as the egg is very soft, there isn't strong taste of the chinchalok but yet you know it is chinchalok la.
Assam Fish w Lady's Finger - $10.50: This is the dish I actually have cravings for. I wanted to eat something sour and spicy lol. But I was a little disappointed with the fish that they used. Maybe if they'd use batang fish, this dish will taste differently or maybe this is the original Peranakan dish. The assam soup is really appetizing to go with rice.
Kang Kong - $8: The chef is pretty nice to come and explain that the red chilli is actually for decorations and is not spicy at all (because previously I asked if the sambal kangkong will be very spicy) Additional items on the receipt include Rice - $2 and Lemongrass Drink - $3. I appreciate the very sincere service staff comprising of only the waitress and chef. The chef came out of the kitchen to serve us the food while the waitress was taking order from other table before returning to the kitchen to cook. The place is rather small that sits less than 30 pax at the same time. The dishes on the menu is limited but I guess you only need a few good ones to get returning customers. The price is also reasonable. Will I come again? Yes, and I intend to bring my parents too!
