Fancying some South East Asian food, we ducked into Mr. Soy Boy on Wednesday 26th July 2017 and picked up a couple of takeaways. The owner and chef, Ferdi, was most welcoming and very chatty. Our order consisted of Indonesian Beef Rendang and Malaysian Chicken Nonya Curry, both with a serving of rice.Having lived in South East Asia for many years of our lives, my wife and I are all too familiar with beef rendang and Nonya Chicken curry. The versions served by My Soy Boy are variations of the dishes devised by chef Ferdi – not quite what we expected. The rendang was more like a beef curry and the beef pieces were tough to chew on. The curry was stingingly hot. The actual Indonesian rendang th...
They make a nice fried rice, but apart from that I don't think I will be back. Also tried the Family Platter and found this served three adults perfectly, however the four roast meats were bland and uninspiring. The sauces, vegetables and steamed rice were more enjoyable. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the service or price, as the staff are very considerate and welcoming, and the prices seem somewhat reasonable considering the quality local ingredients. Unfortunately I just don't find the food special enough to return for. The following is some advice directed to whoever is responding to your customer's online reviews.There isn't anything that could have been done to make my...
This was a good find for my family. It has been a long while since I have had the pleasure of eating a quality Asian meal in the Cairns area. We stopped in and had entrees and mains for our meal. My son the fuss pot enjoyed the dim sims and we really enjoy our serve of spring rolls. For the mains we had the Mareeba crispy skin pork belly and I had the special hor fun. I enjoyed my meal. The seafood and sauce were really tasty. The noodles were cooked very well and I am usually picky about how my rice noodles are cooked for this dish but what I had was spot on for my expectations for a great hor fun. My wife enjoyed her pork belly and it was nice and crispy. The restaurant is small enough to...
Thought I would order some takeaway as had heard good reports. Was very disappointed with the "trio of roast meats" which promised crispy pork belly, roast duck and chicken. The serving pieces of the pork and duck were meagre. The duck meat was non existent. Our container contained 5 pieces of duck bones with only tiny shreds of dry over cooked meat. The pork serving was just as pitiful. The chicken, dry. All this for $26.

With all of the TripAdvisor reviews, I was expected near perfection and the quality of food produced did not disappoint. The flavours between a mild chicken curry to the spicy pad Thai was really interesting and enjoyable. Really impressed with female staff, friendly, attentive and always smiling. Even though it was a Tuesday night, it was three quarters full. Thanks for the flavours.
From the outside this place really doesn't look very fancy. But based on reviews we ventured inside regardless and the food is superb. We had about a 35min wait on our food, however. Everything cooked from scratch and was fantastic. Worth the wait and the short 10 minute drive out of cairns centre!
As a local had been wanting to come here for a while. Wasn't disappointed. The food was fresh, delicious and very good portions. Will definitely be back. Chef Ferdi came out for a yarn with us - he's obviously very passionate about his food and ensuring diners are satisfied - nice bloke! Yummy!
