Kreta Ayer - Chatswood

Do not go to this place - avoid! We saw them serving curry which was pulled from a takeaway box and heated up in the microwave. We ordered a laksa and it came with wontons, bbq pork and other random items - not authentic at all! The roti tasted like it was from a frozen packet (guarantee it was). Not fluffy and soft. Instead it was flat, crunchy and perfectly rounded - looked like the frozen ones I make for myself at home. Kreta Ayer, you can't fool me. My Malaysian friends all laughed as the food was a total joke.

Frozen fish cooked with rice porridge!!! Yuck!!! If u cannot make seafood just don't put on the menu!! Did your chef tried the dish before u can put it on the menu???!

Probably the worst imitation of the Singaporean cuisine. I have been to Singapore many times and I have not seen or tried Hokkien Mee and Prawn Paste chicken like those at Kreta Ayer. The authentic Singaporean version should have thick vermicelli, squids, pork belly and bean sprouts and not green leafy vegetables.

The food was quite good, the skewers weren't really strong in flavour and was just very normal.The char Keoy Teow was the best I would say having lots of flavours and very authentic.The customer service was great, the staff were really friendly and nice, but was very chaotic in the restaurant.Overall I would come back again and the food is quite nice!

Spore chilli mud crab aint cheap here $49 per half kilo if i am not mistaken. And of course, it changes daily. Not sure if the crab we got was farmed or not, the crab meat was not 'dense' enough, nothing outstanding about the sauce either. I guess it would do if one has a craving for spore chilli crab and does not want to venture into the city. One of the few places which serves spore oyster omelette (not available everyday as it depends on the supply of fresh oyster), i was apprehensive of getting my hopes up after being told multiple times that it was not available. This too was nothing to write home about, though the oysters were indeed fresh. It just is not authentic enough. Kangkong (water spinach) belachan (shrimp paste) and fried tofu both were 'so-so'. Might return to try their other street food.
