Rasa Sayang Nanyang Cafe is a delightful spot for authentic Malaysian flavors. Their Gula Melaka Milk Tea is a must-try. RIch, creamy, and infused with the deep, caramel-like sweetness of palm sugar, offering a nostalgic taste of tradition. The Nasi Goreng Kampung stands out with its fragrant fried rice, spicy chili paste, crispy anchovies, and a perfectly cooked fried egg, delivering a satisfying balance of heat and umami. The cafe's cozy ambiance and friendly service make it a perfect place to enjoy hearty, flavorful meals that feel like home.

This cafe was a really great find!! The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. The cafe was clean, bright and comfortable to dine in. They had a lot of great looking things on the menu. I tried the nasi kerabu set and a kaya butter toast bakar. Food was ready very fast. The toast was standard, hard to mess up, and they were generous with the butter and kaya fillings. Warm and crispy. And the kerabu was excellent. The rendang was good, and the budu served with the nasi kerabu was very strong and pungent. I think thats excellent haha. Sorry for people who don't like strong budu! The bunga telang gula melaka drink was also pleasantly not very sweet. All in all a very good experience here, and happy to come again.

Third time dining there. Service wise is pretty good. The servers are quick to respond and food serving time is quite efficient even though there are many customers. So far the taste of food is within expectations. The cleanliness is satisfactory. Will definitely patronise again.

Manage to google this place when I m at Skudai and was skeptical with those reviews given. After trying it myself, my verdict is : Will definitely come back for the food again. Portion is generous, food is delicious, presentation is nice, service is excellent. Ordered different type of food to try and non of it I can give bad comments. Personally I like mee mamak the best, it doesn’t gv an alkaline taste and noodle are stirred and blended well with the sauce.

My family’s favourite place for a wonderful meal in a pleasant setting with great food and service. Can’t have enough of their Nasi Ayam Penyet especially their sambal. Must come early for their yummy Nasi Kerabu ayam rendang though. Cheers
