A'ruma Malaysian - Albany

Review is based around knowledge of a professional Chef.<br/ <br/ Order: hash stack<br/ Mumak megoreng<br/ Initial ambience: chill and friendly staff<br/ <br/ Customer service: friendly and catered for gluten intolerance when customer asked for changes on their dish. Deffinantly a care factor for their customers.<br/ <br/ Waitress engagement: ordered from front counter not table.<br/ <br/ Speed of service: 50minutes 6 dishes. 1 chef 1 front staff<br/ <br/ Visual aspect:<br/ Food looked well plated but portioning for price was sh!t<br/ <br/ Cooking methods seen:<br/ Great acidity in hollondaise cuts through butter. More yellow than white good indication of butter over water or unnessasary juices.<br/ <br/ Clean toilets:<br/ 9/10<br/ <br/ Food taste quality:<br/ <br/ Only tasting mei goreng and hash stack.<br/ <br/ Hash stack.<br/ Crispy hash<br/ Bacon crispy outsides.<br/ Hollondaise is nice good amount of acidity.<br/ <br/ Poach egg quality good ooze 30sec over cooked ish with a 1mm cooked yolk. Not perfect but standard for cafe.<br/ <br/ Mei goreng. Had all the flavours of mee goreng. Noodles are soft and cooked perfectly. Big portion size but mainly noodles not much protein portion. Spicy mildly but asked for extra spicy. Seasoning was not quite there and needed to add salt which made the dish lose quality and overall taste.<br/ <br/ Ambience:<br/ Speed of service: 2/10<br/ Cleanliness: 9/10<br/ Portioning against cost: 3/10<br/ Minimal bacon 1 slice of shoulder, 1 slice of toast and a thin hash for 17. Me goreng came out more portioning and costed less.<br/ <br/ Overall: 6.5/10<br/ <br/

This cafe/restaurant has a really nice, light atmosphere. The coffee is the best you can get in Auckland and the service is excellent, too very friendly staff. The Nasi Lemak is absolutely delicious. It comes with the best Beef Rendang I have tasted to date, incredibly flavoursome rice and beautiful anchovies. I highly recommend this place.

Good food great service and great environment,the seafood laksa and Malaysian milkmen are fantastic, also the gourmet brunch is my girlfriend’s favorite.

Nice small but cosy cafe, with plenty of parking outside. Had lunch here in the weekend a number of times. The menu food was very good. There were some Malay dish options, plus western options, with fusion style flavors. I loves the pork belly burger!Also the coffee is very good, some of the best on the shore in my opinion.The staff are very friendly and are quick to serve and answer any questions.

Been there few days ago. Good coffee and hot chocolate. Very attentive, friendly service. Food come out quickly. Whether you want a simple egg bene or something more fancy.<br/
