The Pointing Strategy
The damage to your wallet depends on what you point at. Seafood and beef are premium picks, while vegetables and eggs are cheaper. Be strategic with your choices to keep the price reasonable.
The Mixed Gravy
Don't just pick one curry. Ask the server for 'kuah campur' (mixed gravy) to get a splash of everything over your rice. It creates a complex, savory base that ties all your different dishes together.
Quick answers
