Creative Malaysian fusion restaurant hidden in a Rainbow Alley laneway, with standout dishes like Maotai crispy roast duck, laksa bomb, and lotus leaf steamed mud crab with foie gras. The sophisticated white and brown interior and attentive service make it feel special, though it's tucked away enough that you need to know where to look.
