Sambal Kampung on Urbanspoon

We went for a quick lunch on a Friday, arriving at about 12.30 pm. The place was almost full but we managed to get a table. The dining area was fairly small. The ambience was dark but not unappealing.

We ordered Chef's Special Fried Noodle ($9.00), Fried Kueh Teow ($9.00) and Home Made Pan Fried Dumplings ($9.00 for 10). As it was a last minute decision to drop into this place, we were pleasantly surprised by how nice the food was and it vindicated our decision to eat here.

The Chef's Special Fried Noodle was really tasty vermicelli with noodles prawns, fishcake, calamari and vegetables, although it was a bit too oily. The Fried Kueh Teow with flat noodles, prawns, fishcake and clams was great - not too oily and had a good balance of flavours. We found the dumplings a bit sweet but otherwise the minced pork, prawn and chives filling was tasty.

On the whole, a good place to go to for Malaysian food that is delicious. The prices for the hawker style dishes were reasonable. We will definitely go back again.
