We were not filled after the 8 so we repeated a couple of them: The Penang Kew Teo and Dry shrimp stirred fried vegetable. They are ordinary dishes available in almost every Chinese restaurants in Malaysia. But this restaurant makes them tastefully good. Staff is friendly and tables spaciously and comfortably apart."

Make sure to add the red Sambal on the side. Very tasty and home cooking style food. There are larger tables for bigger groups. The iced coffee is also very good, nice and strong."
