How does a teeny counter outside the Ovolo Nishi manage to pack so much flavour into such tight dimensions? That was the question when Ethiopian diner Fekerte’s took up residence and drew lunchtime crowds for fragrant doro wat. Same goes now that AK’s has inherited the space.
Run by former XO chef AK Ramakrishna, the menu draws on his Malaysian Indian roots, offering just a handful of daily specials served over rice. Make a beeline for chicken cooked to his amma’s recipe, sweet and sour fish, green beans in XO and curry puffs with enviable lamination. Modern spins on classics? Tick. Old family recipes? Big tick. This is soul food with great tunes, lunch only, weekdays only.
