The worst curry laksa of my entire trip. The soup was dark and too thick and tasted of nothing other than mild curry powder. The seafood in the dish was barely edible so we swiftly paid the bill and left.

The overall experience was bad. Most of the dishes were cold and tasteless.
Even the rice was served cold!!!
The lamb was so hard and can't be chewed.

We visited Sri Melaka on our second night in KK (after an incredible meal at Mother India on the harbour front on the first night). A warm welcome by staff. The restaurant was full.

We ordered three dishes to share - Rendang beef, chicken with dry chilli and Kang Kong Belacan - and all were extremely tasteless. The most disappointing meal of our 10day trip to Borneo.

Incidentally we returned to Mother India for another amazing meal.

I sourced this restaurant from TA, as my husband really wanted a beef rendang.

His dish was nice and spicy and was plentiful but he said it was nothing special. I chose a chicken clay pot, which seemed to comprise mostly of bean curd pieces. There was not a lot of flavour to it, either.

The service was friendly and welcoming.

Overall, disappointing.

Staff were very helpful and polite. Reasonable choice of food. Dishes arrived at our table at different times meaning some people were kept waiting. Food was ok but nothing special compared to other places we ate at in Kota Kinabalu.
