Sambal's quiet courtyard leads to a hive of activity inside. Hungry groups sit at big, solid wooden tables sharing plates piled with food, while couples on dates vie to impress with the meal-on-its-own chilli crab. The woks churn out popular hawker fare such as char kwai teow and mee goreng. Belachan dishes are worth trying: the chicken is served as large, lightly battered deep-fried pieces with a tangy dipping sauce. The special of the day may be fish soup with big chunks of cod and lots of noodles to slurp it all up with. What more could you want? Another bowl of Hainan chicken rice, please! And a memo: meals are $14 and under at lunch.
