I could share same experience with barry, Value for money nasi kampur with 3 choice of dishes. Freshly cook during lunch hour. being a vietnamese i just discovered malaysian cuisine is about the same like our foods.

Nasi Ayam was very nice thanks to the chef. I wish Bonda could maintain the quality of the food. Surpringly after main course the waitress suggested to try the ABC( crunch ice with syrup and a bit of fruit) . all in all cost us less then a tenner.

Dingy Malaysian cafe located in a basement. Cheap and cheerful place; dishes were not exactly up to Malaysia Hall Canteen's standards, but immeasurably better than JOM Makan.

I agree with Sarah that the cooking can be poor, however the best time to visit this place is lunch when all the the dishes are freshly cooked and the choices offered are pretty much spoilt for choice. The à la carte can be hit or miss; my advice is to stick to the Malay dishes and avoid the Chinese or Indian variants.

Lest we forget, this place is cheap like Cha Cha Moon and we shouldn't expect any earth-shattering standards. Service is friendly and the ambience is great for lone diners like yours truly.

I went to Bonda Cafe as I was missing local Malaysian food terribly. We ordered their Koay Teow Goreng Special and Nasi Goreng Special and we were both sorely disapponted. Firstly, the service was slow, it took about half an hour for our orders to arrive and we did not order very much at all. Just a dish each. Their portion of food servings were much smaller than previously. Offerings on the daily specials section were of commonly plain palette and not being replenished, and it was only slightly past 7pm when we were there. Although the crowd was moderate, the waitresses were not very efficient in their service nor were their particularly friendly. Perhaps the customer, Nora who made this review went on a rather quiet day whereby the chef could devote his/her total attention to preparing her order/s. But our dinner was certainly spoiled and I'd like to reiterate how sorely disppointed we both were, especially when we made a special trip, all the way to satisfy our cravings for local Malaysian delicacies, only for it to be ruined.
