If any of you have seen the above Youtube video, then the words "I want Shark's Fin soup!" will be very familiar to you. Unfortunately the video is in Cantonese and has no subtitles, but it involves a woman throwing a full-blown tantrum and shouting "I want Shark's Fin soup! Why do you not have any Shark's Fin soup?!" repeatedly, when she is told that the restaurant has run out. A much more subdued version of this from Scrambled Eggs (replacing Shark's Fin soup with Hainan chicken rice) led us to dine at Kuali, a Malaysian restaurant that does serve Hainan chicken rice.
Kuali is located upstairs in the Lane Cove arcade, and although it has received good reviews in the Sydney Morning Herald, we came with some apprehension as reviews on eatability had not been promising, mostly regarding the service. We were however pleasantly surprised as the waitstaff were friendly and accomodating, and not pushy at all.
