This my second time and we ordered laksam, nasi dagang, bubur and goreng2. Not bad at all, laksam very tasty and clean taste, creamy and not sweet. Nasi daging is good even eaten on its own, tuna gravy is both so sweet and spicy. Highly recommended.

Foods are to die for, very delicious local cuisines, but I just think that parking system is so bad especially during peak holiday season. Once you have missed the junction to the parking lots, you gotta make a far u-turn. However, thats the price for good foods.

A bit further away from the downtown area. And worth the journey. Everything sold out as fast as they come out! So have patience. Also most of the staff can not speak English but hand gesture will do. We were fortunate to have met friendly locals who helped us translate and shared food with us Thank you so much for your kindness. Fried squid (sotong) is a must! There is even a separate line to queue. The line is where the frying station is. The line for other food is by the counter. Where you can get fried fish cake (keropok lekor) and friend spring rolls and a few other items. You can also order drinks, make sure to let them know no sugar if you don’t want any.
