Yesterday a friend asked me to sum up my recent experience of PappaRich, a newly imported Malaysian restaurant chain that has set up its first restaurant in the Sky World (formerly SkyCity Metro) building on Queen Street.

Alas, a handful of eateries keep their cuisine authentic for those who’re most discerning, giving them a “home away from home” experience. PappaRich, a chain restaurant offering authentic Malaysian hawker fare, is one of an exemplary few.
