We are the only ones dined in but the takeaway orders didn't stop ringing. They have dishes that are different from other Asian restaurants. We ordered daging kicap masak lada. pepper with soy sauce beef). The nasi goreng has great sambal taste. Char Kueh teow was average. Since I spoke to the lady in Malay, she did ask if I want normal spice level like local Malaysian. Spice level did not disappoint.

Response from the owner

Thank you Nee! Hope to see you again soon.
