Feast Away With Mak Cik Po’s Family Dinner Set

Mak Cik Po’s Dinner sets come with several dishes, drinks as well as white rice that completes a wholesome meal. We tried the Dinner Set C and the dishes included in the set are:

Steamed Siakap with Lime

Tomyum Soup

Omelette

Mixed Vege

Thai Style Beancurd

Special Deep-fried Crispy Sotong

Iced Lime Juice/Iced Syrup (6 glasses)

To kick off a mouth-watering dinner, the Tomyum Soup comes loaded with fresh seafood and appetising Tomyum broth. Pair plain white rice with dishes such as Omelette, Mixed Vege, Beancurd, Sotong as well as Steamed Siakap. With so many dishes, you’re sure gonna have a fulfilling meal. To quench your thirst, you can pick from refreshing iced lime juice or even iced syrup.

Delicious Signature A La Carte Menu

For those looking for a quick meal, Mak Cik Po caters to that too. Among the a la carte items we tried, here’s what we highly recommend:

1. Claypot Maggi (Dry or Soup)

Mak Cik Po’s Claypot Maggi has two different variations. If you prefer your noodles to be bathed in broth, then go for the soup version. Alternatively, you can also go for the dry version that’s equally delicious. Each serving comes with al dente Maggi noodles with a side of egg and greens.

Kueytiaw Special

Next up, another signature item to order at Mak Cik Po is the Kueytiaw Special. It’s special because it comes with seafood such as prawns and squids as well as sausage and an egg. Pair them all together for a flavourful bite.

Drinks & Dessert

Three Kingdom (Iced Coffee)

Three Kingdom is a special drink that can only be found at Mak Cik Po. Consisting of coffee, tea and chocolate, this drink is so delicious you would want to order more than one glass.

Iced Cendol 

Before you walk out of Mak Cik Po, be sure to give their Iced Cendol a go. A bowl of finely shaved ice with generous toppings including corn kernels, grass jelly, crunchy peanuts and some syrup to top it all off, it’s the perfect dessert to beat the scorching heat.
