Quite cozy.. with the old fashioned or heritage touch, this place offers "the vibe" while the foods are just average.. it has limited capacity for customer too.. Well.. can't say it's a must try.. And you should not come here alone.. bring someone

Take the menus and choose your favourite food. Gurami fish mangut is the best followed by the duck and chicken gourmet. All is lovely and make your tongue dancing to and fro

The foods are relatively delicious with proper price. However the parking area is not too wide for four wheeled vehicles.

The food that I ordered was mediocre but still okay. The overall experience was disappointing how there were tons of mosquito joining us with the meal and how they forgot the order that I wrote
