A walk along Chow Thye Road leads me to this quiet, curious and rustic cafe. The cafe proffers a slightly different menu- local Malaysian dishes with Nyonya-influence; evidently seen from their specialties like Curry Kapitan, Kiam Chai Ark, Tu Tor Th'ng, Loh Bak etc.
As a whole, The O’lives is worth a visit thanks to its emphasis on freshness of their food by using better quality ingredients even some fine dining restaurants are not able to provide. The set lunch is definitely worth it.
The food overall can say is nice and yummy and if you are unable to find which stall it should be perhaps you can recognize the seller itself.
I like and among them are Pulut Tai-Tai, Pulut Inti, Kuih Kochi, Kuih Kochi Santan, Sambal Udang, Steamed Yam Cake (芋头糕) etc.
I like the noodles here as I found it 'springy'. I simply like the texture of the noodles.
The neighbourhood wantan mee stall has been serving dry version wantan mee in soy sauce, pork lard and signature “lor” starchy gravy for the breakfast and lunch crowd.
Finally we have Mr. Yo, the cake designer/chef, the main man in this shop. He mentioned that they also have ice cream cakes and 3D cakes that we can order.
Sin Hwa Café Assam Laksa is somewhat different as in taste as the cook would use tamarind juice instead of tamarind peels as some of the other stalls.
The Asam Laksa are quite delicious and has a lots of vegetables and fish chunks. The soup are thick and spicy enough.
