"Popular menu here is nasi minyak. You have a choice of either fried chicken or chicken curry. Don't be shy to ask for extra rice. The taste is good. If you expect hotel style waiters who always kowtow to you and spick n span hotel like surroundings, this place is not for you. This is just a place for working people like most of us to have a meal."

"Absolutely fantastic mee kari! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, with a delightful balance of creamy and savory. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the generous toppings added an amazing texture and taste. Only missing is the kerang (cockles). Definitely one of the best mee kari I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!"
