Chillipadi

Have only been here once, but Chillipadi were great for our group booking. Had the sweetest waitress who really put up with a lot from my drunken friends, in fact all the servers were great. Food was fantastic everyone enjoyed what though ordered. Prices are decent and good atmosphere for a large group booking. Only setback is the restrooms are located outside of the restaurant. Other then this, everyone had a great time!
I might not be what they call a connoisseur of food but I definitely know my nasi lemak. For those of you who havent tried this dish...then you should head down to Chilli Padi. Forget about your usual "nasi goreng" or "tom yum" dish, and just ask for "nasi lemak beef rendang".
Out of all different nasi lemak that I've tried, Chilli Padi's one is the best so far. Don't forget to ask for extra sambal (or some call it chilli) with your nasi lemak..
At first glance chillipadi doesn't seem like your typical asian restaurant - where are the plastic tables? Downstairs is more casual, with alfresco seating, while upstairs resembles a hip wine bar (indeed the owners are passionate about good wine). But tuck into the good oldfashioned Malaysian food and you'll realise why chillipadi is so popular among homesick South East Asian students as well as the upwardly mobile city crowd. In my opinion it serves up the best char kway teow in town. It's my theory that this humble yet addictive dish is a barometer for the quality of Malaysian food, and this rings true at chillipadi - The nasi lemak, laksa and chicken rice are as good, if not better, than anything you could find in Malaysia. They also serve dishes, such as tau ewe bak, but I've never been able to go past the hawker food!
