Great experience at Rongs Kitchen! The fish head curry was huge and very flavorful. Loved the refillable rose red date tea, and the croffle was the perfect dessert. Friendly staff and excellent service. Highly recommend!

A place with great food. Tomyun was great. Even clear soup was nice. Also belacan chicken. Especially love the cake. Will definitely come back again to try the curry fish. One suggestion, maybe include photos in the menu, would help first time customer.

Been wanting to come since TangChi, but now Rong's Kitchen is absolutely more than awesome. Ambience is beautiful and 1person live band is brilliant at reading the room too. There were kids when I visited and he sang Wheels on the Bus to entertain the kids awhile. Curry fish head and tukachor (vinegar pork knuckles/trotters) is definitely a MUST. But tukachor is only available on certain days only. Cordyceps chicken is also a must try. Tom yum soup is on the sweeter side but still good. Coriander mojito easily became my favorite..with enough coriander and lemon.. very refreshingly tasty. Service is fast too even though it was a full house. They even helped us to heat up the soup when we wanted it boiling.

Ordered the 2–3 pax Curry Fish Head for lunch — the portion was generous and more than enough for the three of us. The flavors were rich and well-balanced. The desserts were the highlight — perfect sweetness and very satisfying! The environment has a pleasant ambiance, comfortable for a relaxing meal. Definitely worth a visit again.
