Tucked away in one of the shop houses along Lebuh Clarke, Citarasa Dadi Dada Cafe offers a traditional Malay menu featuring many classics; some of the signature dishes include Mee Udang, Mee Jawa, Nasi Goreng and Nasi Campur etc. The place is not fully air-conditioned but the dining hall is well-equipped with fans and has good ventilation system.

A convenient spot to drop by for a quick fix over classic Malay food. 

Set Nasi Ikan Bawal Goreng Nani Nah (Rm 13.90)

Mee Udang Mama Ya (Rm 15.90/ regular)

Apple Juice Assam Boi (Rm 11.90/ Jumbo)

One of the best sellers- Mee Udang Mama Ya comes in a big portion with 3 Prawns. The sauce has a rich and thick consistency… slightly thicker than the usual ones and registered bold flavors. It has a mild spiciness to it and the overall flavor combo was good. The Prawns were fresh and the seasoning was spot on, just exactly what I was expecting for a bowl of decent Mee Udang. While the Mee Udang did hit our expectation, the Nasi Ikan Bawal Goreng Nani Nah exceeded our expectation.  The large Pomfret was expertly cooked to the perfection- crispy edges but pristine white, juicy flesh. The real draw was the home-made Sambal which packed a powerful punch. When served with the accompanying Curry, the concoction has an avalanche of flavors and can be sweat-inducing.
