Selera Cafe Limited

Best Hainanese chicken in the whole New Zealand hands down. Super juicy. Great portion. Lots of bensprouts and very generous with sauce. Must have at Selera. Super sexy chicken.

My palette had the pleasure of savouring the magic of Malaysian cuisine at this humble yet wonderful restaurant, where the star of the show was unequivocally the Fried Noodles Char Kueh Teow.The rich culinary heritage of Malaysia unraveled on my plate as I bit into the beautifully wok-fried flat rice noodles. Every mouthful was an explosion of flavor, brimming with the robust savoury, subtly sweet, and tantalizing spicy notes. The sheer delight of tasting the flat noodles, perfectly cooked with the ideal 'wok hei' or breath of the wok, was heightened by the thoughtful balance of spices that didn't overpower but rather enhanced the inherent flavour of the dish.The Char Kueh Teow wasn't just about the noodles though. Generous portions of succulent prawns, tender slices of Chinese sausage, and plump cockles all came together to create a delightful texture that made each bite more memorable than the last. The subtle smokiness of the dish was perfectly offset by the crisp bean sprouts and the delicate, aromatic chives, adding an exciting dimension to the dish.What I truly appreciated was the attention to detail - the omelette was perfectly scrambled and lent a unique creaminess that intertwined flawlessly with the spicy, savory, and subtly sweet elements. The garnish of fresh lime on the side was a masterstroke, its tanginess giving a refreshing lift to the overall experience.The ambiance of the restaurant complements the food beautifully. A tasteful blend of traditional and contemporary decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. And of course, the staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about sharing their culinary heritage, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.It's rare to find a place that delivers such authenticity with a touch of elegance. The Fried Noodles Char Kueh Teow at this restaurant has truly been a revelatory experience - a testimony to the diversity, complexity, and deliciousness of Malaysian cuisine.It's a dish and a restaurant I'd enthusiastically recommend to any food lover in a heartbeat!

Great Laksa and Carrot Cake is superb. Hainan Chicken is the best in nz.

A bit pricey but have generous servings.They also have a store at the nearby Westfield but I prefer to eat at this place. Food is good most of the time and serving is fast.I would have to say though that I have better options hence the 4 star rating.

Heard such great things about this place and was so excited so took my partner and we spent $75 on takeaway (pick up).The staff in the restaurant were very lovely, however the food was very disappointing. The chicken curry had three pieces of bone in chicken which were quite small and did not have much meat on them, then three pieces of potato with a half filled container of sauce for the curry.The beef rendang was a clump of shredded beef, not particularly tasty unfortunately. Also the coconut rice did not taste like coconut at all so I'm unsure as to why that was.Overall very disappointed in portion sizes and flavour was okay on some dishes but lacks freshness and finesse. Definitely not worth the money unfortunaley based on my experience.

Sunday night dinner with amazing choices. First time back after awhile. Something old something new and not disappointed. Hainanese chicken was tasty and moist as expected. Egg tofu was crispy on the outside and silky smooth on the inside. Pandan chicken wings were moreish. Rounded off with some beef stay sticks. Nice thick satay sauce, and tasty.

Not the best curry laksa in town.CKT full of ‘wok hei’ but abit tasteless (a little bit more salt/soy sauce maybe).Disappointed cendol ice.In conclusion: can have a try but not a must for second visit.

Genuine Malaysian food. Great laksa dishes. Extensive menu. Generous sized servings. Prompt service even with full house Sunday lunch. Feels like being back in KL. Not cheap, a bit prìcey, but good value .

The food was okay but it not worth the price, I paid $108 for 3 noodle dishes and 1 plate of round bean. I can't say the food is tasty nor not tasty. The portions for most of the food is not big except the Laksa and I recommended Paparich Laksa over this. Stir fried noodle is a small portion compare to it price ($24) definitely can get a bigger portion and tastier food from Thai restaurant, also round bean from other Chinese restaurant can be a bigger portion and tastier than the $38 round bean at Selera. The staff also used a spray bottle to clean the next table and sprayed us (while we were eating). So be careful while you dine in because it a small place and all table are close toghether!!!! Overall FIRST AND LAST VISIT!

Good location, nice outdoor seating, have to park and walk a few minutes. Taste of dishes are okay and quite strong, prices are slightly higher than others nearby.Hungry birds help cleaning up.
