Description:
Cockle Bay's star attraction for those who appreciate good food and fun ambience without paying a fortune, Chinta Ria is on the roof of the three-story development. In a round building dominated by a giant golden Buddha in the center, it serves fairly good "hawker-style" (read: cheap and delicious) Malaysian food. While the food is good, the atmosphere is even more memorable. The service is slow, but who cares in such an interesting space, with plenty of nooks, crannies, and society folk to look at. There are seats outside (some within range of the noise of the highway), but the best views unfold inside. Hot-and-sour soup -- with tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and preserved cabbage -- makes an interesting starter, and I recommend the chili prawns and the hokkeien char (soft-cooked egg noodles) as main dishes.
