The Fifty Tales premises boast an old Chinese home feel with contemporary strappings. The three young partners strive to enliven a sleepy old neighbourhood. I applaud them for trying to reinvent old school Chinese cuisine, making it more accessible and appealing for the next generation. May not be for everyone, but in my books, it’s always a good thing to have variety.
As always, the service here is impeccable. Both Chef Aaron Phua and Chef Bimmy (who were on the floor as Chef Aaron Khor manages the kitchen) were super accommodating and helpful. While we enjoyed the food – we still hoped to see a stronger unifying/complimentary element among the dishes on the Cincai Dinner menu. As this was just the first week on the job in their new home, we are sure there is nothing but upside from here.
What do We Like about Fifty Tales Restaurant? -Creative and thoughfully designed and prepared dishes -Grilled mushroom salad steals our hearts
Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here. For the dinner menu, we recommend the threadfin and kailan, which go well with both rice and noodles.
So to my delights, it was another patisserie which serves up own homemade French pastries. Those who have been following my Carpe Diem page by now should have known that I always have a yen for croissants and butter (=
The yummy food combined with the peaceful sound of bubbling water from the fountain nearby made our visit simply marvellous. We came at off-peak hours (2 pm) and the service was very quick with food coming out within ten to fifteen minutes. This might be different at prime lunchtime as some diners have complained about the slow service. One odd thing is that our dessert arrived before our mains, so it might be a good idea to make a separate order for your post-meal cendol. We unfortunately don’t have much reason to be in the Bandar Sri Damansara area again, but our experience here today means we’ll probably be eating at one of Kakatoo’s other locations in the future.
Filter Coffee (MYR 20) Columbia Java A.N. from Hubs roaster which offers winey notes of rum & raisin and cocoa nibs. And yeah, we both love as usual for any anaerobic natural processed single origins.

Aus Wagyu Beef Burger is worth to go for where this wagyu beef comes with the 70% lean meat 30 % fat. And they are beautifully pan grilled, rinse signature wasabi mayo sauce, American cheese, sweet pickled radish, lettuce, tomatoes and served with the Furikake Fries. The burger is superbly good and each mouthful is so tender and juicy.
Unlike their OG series, this actually comes with their famous braised pork and prawns, served in a clear pork-bone broth with added Shao Hsing wine. Boiled over a long period of time, the broth is both rich yet clear and light. It has sufficient flavour to coat the handmade egg noodles - which was enjoyably chewy and firm.
