Lazat Malaysian Restaurant - Sunshine

You do not get many Singaporean/Malaysian restaurants in the west area as they are usually concentrated in areas like Box Hill or Doncaster where the majority of the community is. So when a place opens up near to where you live you can't wait to try it out.




The initial impression as you walk in was pretty promising, the place was clean and spacious. The service was quick as well, we got our menus as soon as we sat down maybe because it was after the lunch peak and there was not many customers. I look through the menu and ordered the following, the food did not take long to arrive at our table.


Fried Kway Teow


I was disappointed the moment the fried kway teow was served, the plate was covered with bean shoots which I would say there was 70% shoots to the noodles. There was no "wok hei" (smoky burnt wok flavour) taste to it either and it was greasy.


Roti with Curry Sauce

DH had the roti and she like it commenting that the roti was soft and fluffy although she felt that the curry was a little too spicy for her palate.


Sweet & Sour Pork

Another disappointing dish as it tasted like it was microwave from a box of frozen pack. The batter on the pork was really thick and flourry. And as for the sauce it was like a concoction of tomato sauce and vinegar with no other flavours.

Seasonal Vegetables with Garlic Sauce

Stir fry vegetables is something that you cannot get wrong, it's the simplest form as asian cooking. In this instance although the veg still had crunch to it, it lack in flavour and was a little too greasy for my liking.

All in all it was not a very pleasant meal and if you ask me the million dollar question if I would ever go back, the answer will be a big NO. Well maybe you might argue that I can't judge by this few dishes and I should try a few more of their offerings before making a decision but in my opinion if you can't make a good plate of fried kway teow then you have failed the taste test. I would rather travel all that way to the likes of Doncaster and Box Hill for good asian food.
