"The dishes was good and the taste quite good among the best in Balik Pulau. Parking quite a lot, easy to find since it is nearby the main road. To order for drink better you write down on a piece of paper and handover to the waiter rather than you have to repeat 2-3 times later on"

"Situated close to many schools and government buildings, it is always busy with locals especially during lunch break. There are plenty options of food at affordable price. Everything I took (fried chicken, gulai ikan, kangkung belacan) taste good."

"The place was rather secluded and out of the way if you're from the city centre. The travelling time is approx 35 minutes and it's worth the time. I took a fish head Asam Pedas with fried vegetables with hot tea for RM20. That's a steal for a Fishhead compared to KL would be twice the price. The gravy was genuinely authentic to savour for lunch."
