“ I’ve been going here every Christmas season for the past three years. The decorations and ambiance are perfect. And the food is delicious! Many tasty options to share. And the Grinch holiday beverage is perfection ”
“ Came here for dinner with my parents and the vibes were great! The entire restaurant is decked out in holiday decor and although the food came out a little slow, it was worth the wait. Our favourites of the night were the grilled jumbo black tiger shrimp satay, Indonesian fried rice, braised short ribs and black tiger shrimp coconut curry. Make sure you book well in advance as this place is quite small and fills up pretty quickly! ”
“ Absolutely loved the Christmas decor. And the Christmas cocktails (albeit expensive) were themed beautifully, each coming in their own unique glassware, all super tasty (I rated the drinks as ‘food’ since I didn’t get much from their food menu when I was there). Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. I’d be interested in coming back when it’s not decked out for the holidays to see what it’s like. ”
“ This place is one of my new favourites! Went for winterlicious and tried all the recommended options our server suggested. The crispy Balinese pork slaw is honestly one of best foods I’ve ever tired. I can not stop thinking about it. We also tried the green coconut arctic char ceviche, sapi bakar (flank steak), udang kari (six massive shrimps), spiced cake and the custard. We shared everything. We also got a pitcher of the rum cocktail which was the perfect pairing! Everything was incredible Please note nearly everything we ordered either had cilantro or nuts in it. Which personally love but am aware many have allergies. Photos by my friend, Michelle ”
“ It seems they recently started offering brunch on weekends. We walked in and were pleasantly surprised. Their brunch menu is a fusion between their normal menu and traditional brunch items. Food was great. I highly recommend the Sumatra Spiced Beef Croquettes which is on their normal menu but also offered for brunch. ”
“ Little Sisters is a place I would come back and visit again. I highly encourage adding it to your list to visit or as a staple when hanging out with friends. They have a great shareable menu so you can taste everything. The drinks have a adorable names, served in unique glasses, and taste spectacular. The lighting is cozy and atmosphere will make you want to order a second drink. ”
