Contribute Feedback What Dessie Jenkins likes about Kreta Ayer:
This place is a regular for me, not sure why this place has such a low rating. Good authentic flavours in most of the dishes I have tried. The hainan chicken is soft and delicious. The laksa probably could do with a bit more heat, but I do like to eat things hot. The seating is limited inside and out, but is typical for a hawker type restaurant. Wish they had roti on the menu.

What Anastasia Wunsch doesn't like about Kreta Ayer:
If you are looking for a place with great service and great food, look no further... Simply venture out to any restaurant other than this one!
These were our many issues:
- Waiter didn't do their job, making the customer write down their order
- Waiter didn't understand the customer's order (4 perfectly legible numbers from the menu), leading to much confusion
- Waiter made us switch tables 10 minutes after sit... View all feedback.
Had a quick dinner at Kreta Ayer one weekday night, was surprised there was no queue as I always notice a long queue on the weekend. We had the Crispy noodle with Seafood and Beef horfun. The crispy noodle tasted ok but the sauce was a bit bland. Same with the horfun. The laksa seemed very popular though and looked great, must try that next time! theengineereats.com

Props to the farmers for that!
The spicy Singaporean style mud crab is quite authentic. The salt and pepper calamari is very tasty. At dinner time it is usually quite busy and has a queue. Best to go for an early dinner to avoid the queue. The restaurant is not that big.
We love visiting for lunch because it's quite good value, and the fact that their lunch specials go until 5pm means that sometimes we even manage to sneak in an early dinner! They have quite a range of options on their lunch specials menu, prices range from around $10-15, including a drink. We find their menu options a little bit of a hit and miss- our favourites so far are the laksa, the fish soup and tom yum fried noodles.
Had the "Ipoh Hor fun". If you're truly a Malaysian food aficionado, you'd realise that for it to be Ipoh hor fun, it has to have a prawn flavour... Never the less it was tasty, didn't blow me away, but was quick and tasty. At $11.80 with a drink, it's not bad for eastwood prices. Would come back to try other dishes, although I guess I would have high expectations of anything on the menu.
